Chapter 2: Soul Power
The four new students sat inside the first helicopter headed for Duel Academy. Jet was somehow able to talk the two groups of students to let them to go first. Jaden was sleeping by the window. Jet was sitting by him, listening to music. Bastion was studying the rulebook and Syrus was looking out the other window.
"Attention new Academy duelists." The captain spoke over the intercom. That caused Syrus to get Jet's attention, which then he woke Jaden up.
"This is your captain speaking, and if you look out your window you'll see your new home away from home." Most of the four looked out the windows to see an island clear in their sights. Far away, it was mainly green due to most of the forest areas and even saw a dormant volcano. There was a building in the center of the island. It was a silver color, surrounded by four tan spires, with three dishes in the middle; a blue, yellow and red one in that order going diagonally down.
There were a few more buildings, a round silver one, a large tan one, along with two blue and white ones, a yellow one and a red one.
"Next stop, Academy Island!" The captain said. "Please fasten your seatbelts and sit in an upright position as we make our landing."

After spending the past couple of hours of chatted and hung out, the four of them were in a large assembly hall, waiting for something to start. Before heading there, they were all given uniforms to change into. He, along with his brother and Syrus, were in red and Bastion was in yellow. He just wore his red blazer unbuttoned with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows over his regular clothes. He was the only one who didn't change.
Jaden now wore a black shirt under the red blazer, which just like his brother was unbuttoned. He still had the faded jeans he was wearing earlier and new red shoes. Syrus was wearing a red an oversized red blazer over a yellow shirt, grey pants and red shoes. Bastion wore a green shirt under a yellow blazer, grey pants and yellow shoes.
There were other boys in the blue blazers and some girls. They had white blouses with blue trim without sleeves and blue miniskirts. Other girls had the same uniform but yellow instead of blue. There were girls with red sleeveless blouses and white skirts.
Moments later, a man in his late forties or early fifties appeared on the giant screen before every new student. He was bald but had a grey goatee. He wore a red blazer that was slightly darker than normal over a shirt and tie. "Good morning and welcome my students." He said in a pleasant voice. "I am Chancellor Sheppard, the headmaster here, and you are the best and brightest duelists in the world." As he talked, Jet saw his brother sleeping next to him. He nudged Jaden to wake up. "Now please, get yourselves settled in at your assigned dorms. I hope you find them quite comfortable; depending on how you ranked of course."
After the speech, they walked out of the building, along with all the other students. They stopped at a fork in the path. "Hey, why did we stop?" Jaden asked.
"I believe this is where we slip ways." Bastion stated.
"Dude, aren't you in Red too?" Jaden blinked.
Bastion smiled slightly and looked over himself. "Well, let's see... yellow sleeves, yellow buttons. I don't think so."
"Oh..." Jaden realized as he looked at his red blazer. "So that's how it works..."
"You're just figuring that out now?" Bastion asked.
Jaden glared at him. "So what? You ever think that maybe I was color-blind!" The E-Hero Duelist snapped.
"Oh, I guess I didn't." Bastion blinked.
Jet rolled his eyes. "He's not color-blind. And I think he's messing with about you being in Red."
Jaden smiled. "Well, maybe we'll see you around the dorms."
Bastion then pointed towards one path. "I doubt that...my dorm is over there."
Jet jerked his thumb down the other path. "And we're in that direction. Come on, Syrus."
"First, think you can say hello to your older siblings." They turned to an older teenage girl and boy standing behind them.
They looked very similar to each other and to Jaden and Jet. The girl had an athletic frame with long fiery red hair and blue eyes. She wore the Obelisk Blue blouse over a white long sleeve shirt with a black skeletal angel; light blue boot cut jeans and blue heeled boots. The boy was also athletically built, he had shaggy brownish blonde hair and brown eyes. He wore the regular high ranking Obelisk uniform.
Both boys hugged the girl. "We're so happy you guys go in." She smiled.
"Even if it is in Slifer Red." The boy said.
The girl glared at him. "Eli, don't put them down."
"I wasn't. I figured they would do better than being Reds."
The girl put her hand on her hips. "You started out as a Red."
"You don't have to defend us, Scarlet." Jet stepped in.
Jaden smiled. "Yeah, besides we like the color red."
"Does this mean we're no longer family any more, Eli?" Jet asked.
Eli chuckled. "It would take more than some jacket for that to happen, Pipsqueak."
"Do you think you can introduce us?" Bastion spoke up.
The four of them looked at Bastion and Syrus. "Sorry, guys. This is our older brother and sister, Eliot and Elektra, but most people call her Scarlet." Jaden introduced.
"I can never figure out why." Scarlet joked.
"We just wanted to say, hi." Eli smiled.
Elektra looked at her Duel Pilot. "Yeah, we should get going." She and Eli began to walk away. "See you boys later."
"Don't get into trouble." Eli spoke up.
"Come on, Jay, Sy. We should get going too." Jet said before walking away. Jaden and Syrus quickly followed him.
They found themselves at Slifer Red dorm. The dorm was ok; it was on the smaller side with tan walls and a red roof. "It's kinda small, don't you think?" Syrus commented.
"Hey, you're a small guy." Jaden replied.
They went inside; the main room was a recreation room with hallways going off left and right. Two archways on the back wall leading to another room. A wide set of stairs went up to a second floor.
"It's sweet." Jaden said.
Jet checked his Duel Pilot. DPs were silver hand-held device that showed school IDs, grades, dueling credits, and even, send messages to other students. "Guys, I'm not in the same room as you."
"Ok, we'll see you at dinner, man." Jaden said then they went different directions. Jaden and Syrus in one way and Jet in another.
Jaden and Syrus went to the second floor and into the left hallway. The two teens found their room and opened the door. The room was medium sized with a wood floor. There were three beds, one was in left corner and the other two were a bunk bed in the other corner. There was a closet, a dresser, a small round table for a studying, and finally a 16 inch television.
Both of them dropped their bags. Jaden walked over the window. "Let's get some light in here!" He pulled back the curtain, letting in the bright sunlight.
"Hey! Those were closed for a reason." Jaden quickly pushed the curtains closed and turned to the source of the voice, coming from the top bunk.
"Sorry." Syrus said.
"Yeah, we didn't see you up there." Jaden sheepishly added.
"Well, can you see me now?" The covers pulled back revealing an angry, heavy teen with a face and hair that made him look like a koala. Both teens screamed in fear when they saw the boy. "Will you stop your screaming? Who are you and what are you doing in my room!"
"Oh, sorry, name's Jaden Yuki!"
"And I'm Syrus."
"We're your new..." As Jaden tried to explain, the teen in bed turned his back to the new kids. "...roommates?"
"You're new alright, lemme explain how things work." The formerly sleeping boy muttered.
Syrus blinked. "Like when Parent's Visit is?"
"Duh, like the whole color thing works. That's the most important thing you have to worry about here."
"There are three dorms. One named after each of the Egyptian God cards. There's the Obelisk Blue students, the Ra Yellow students, and the Slifer Red Students. The Obelisk Blue students are the highest ranking students. Most of them get into the school and their rank by really high grades while others get in by connections. Ra Yellow students are really gifted kids that have a lot of potential... and then there are us, the Red Wonders."
"The Wonders..." Syrus murmured. "That doesn't sound too bad. Makes us sound like a group of superheroes."
The large boy rolled his eyes and continued. "The Red Wonders as in 'I wonder how rejects like us made it even this far'. A lot of people look down on the Slifers because they're the lowest ranking students on the island...nothing but the bottom of the barrel."
Jaden and Syrus looked at each other for a few moments before the napping boy smiled and waved lazily at them. "Oh, by the way, I'm Chumley. Nice to meet you."

Meanwhile, with Jet...
Jet had gone down the right hallway on the first floor. His room was all the way down at the end of the hall. He went inside the room, which was the same size as his brother's. This room had only two beds, a dresser, a TV and a desk. The farther bed had a bag on it. 'Must be my roommate.'
He walked to the closer bed and dropped his bag on it. The black haired teen took off his hat and jacket and placed them both on the bed. After that, he started to take stuff out of his bag. A deck of playing cards, a book, a sketch pad, MP3 and bulky headphones. He stopped a purple deck case with a stylized 'S' on it.
The deck was as good as he could make it for now. He just needed the skills to use these cards like they deserved, just like he promised.
Flashback...
The Yuki family was at the Domino City Kaiba Land for the Grand Championship, which hadn't started yet. Their father, being a Pro-Duelist, was in the tournament. Jet was dueling some kid, who challenged him. A crowd of people were watching the duel.
"Now, Empath attacks directly." Jet ordered as his sorceress struck his opponent.
Kid: 0000 Lp
Jet: 6000 Lp
The crowd slowly left one by one after Jet won. As Jet walked away, he was approached by two men in black suits and dark glasses. "Our boss wants to talk to you."
"How do I know this isn't a kidnapping?" Jet asked.
"He is at the café, just over there." The man said.
Jet looked over at the café, looked at the men, then walked over to the café. As he got closer, he realized who they worked for, the man who created Duel Monsters, Maximillion Pegasus.
"Hello, my boy." Pegasus said with a smile.
"Sir." Jet sat down.
"I saw your duel and I must say I was very impressed." Pegasus commented.
"Thank you. I have a good teacher."
"Your father, Carter Yuki, right? I can see the resemblance."
Jet nodded. "Do you know my dad?"
"Only in reputation. I actually wanted to ask you for a favor." The older man slid a sheet of paper across the table. It had a list of special effects for monsters and a few other cards.
Jet read down the list. "These effects seem widely spread. That could make them hard to use."
"And hard to defeat. I have been looking for a duelist that deserves to use them and I believe that is you. If you're will?" Pegasus extended his hand.
Jet looked at the list again. "I won't let you down, sir." He shook Pegasus's hand.
End of Flashback...
"Hey." Another teen walked into the room. He was a skinny kid with sea green eyes and spiky orange hair that kind made him look like Ichigo from Bleach. He wore the Slifer jacket open over a brown shirt with a Super Mario star with Die Hard under it, the Slifer dark grey pants and red shoes. "Are you my roommate?"
"Yeah. Jet." The Magician duelist extended his hand.
The teen shook his hand. "I'm Drake." Drake went to his bed and continued to empty his bag. "What kind of deck do you use?"
"Spellcasters." Jet responded. "You?"
"Dragons. Do you have anything coming here from home?" The orange haired teen asked.
"A few."
"Cool. I've got some pretty sweet toys on the way." Drake smiled.
The black haired teen arched his eyebrow. "Like what?"
"I'm replacing that little thing with a 40 inch flat screen. I've got a few game consoles, my tools, and a stereo." Drake listed.
Jet sat down on his bed. "I take it your good with gear."
"Yeah. I have plans to upgrade my DP. I can do yours too when I get my stuff."
The Magician duelist nodded. "Sure."
There was a knock on the door. "Excuse me." An athletic framed girl with short platinum blonde hair in a ponytail, bright blue eyes and multiple piercing in each ear. She wore the standard Slifer Red Girls uniform. "My name's Billie. I live across the hall. I was wondering if either of you had a pair of pants that I could barrow until my stuff comes from home."
"I'm Jet."
"Name's Drake and uh, we don't have any extra pants." Drake claimed.
Jet glanced at Drake then looked down at his pants. "I'm not going to use the pair the Academy gave me." He opened his bag and tossed the girl the pants.
She caught it, looked at them then smiled. "Thanks."
Jet checked his DP after it buzzed. It was a message from Jaden. "Man, this is so cool. Bro, Sy and I are going to check out the campus. Meet us outside if you wanna come."
With a chuckle, the dark haired Slifer rolled on his hat and walked out the door.
XXXXXXXX
After a while of exploring, the three Slifers stopped at a large white round building. They walked into the building and found that the first floor had multiple dueling fields all surrounded by rows of stands, set higher then dueling floor.
"Whoa, what do they use this for?" Syrus said.
Jet glanced around. "Probably for duel tests, like Mid-terms and stuff like that."
"Let's check the next floor!" Jaden exclaimed, already on his way to the stairs they passed on the way.
The boys got to the second floor and went from the hall to, what they assumed to be, the school's main arena.
"Now this is sweet. This is the best dueling arena I've ever seen!" Jaden said, looking around the room.
"It doesn't matter where you duel." Jet claimed.
"I guess." Syrus said, but then became worried about something. "Do you think we're allowed in here? I don't want us to get into trouble or anything,"
Jaden shook his head. "Nah, we're students here and this is our campus." He pointed out with a grin.
"Wrong. This is the Obelisk campus. No Slifer Slackers allowed!"
They all turned their heads to see two teenage boys walking up to them, wearing dark blue blazers. "Really?" Jet asked.
The taller teen, Raizou, smirked. "That's right!" He pointed to the wall behind them. "Look at the crest!" Jet turned to see a round symbol was above the entrance of the duel arena. Inside the circle was the head of Obelisk the Tormentor, the whole symbol was blue.
"This is Blue Territory, no Reds allowed here!" The other boy, Torimaki, sneered.
Syrus turned back towards them. "Sorry, we didn't know. We'll leave right guys?" He asked, looking at Jaden.
"We don't have to leave, Runt." Jet shook his head. "They hung a cheap trinket on the wall. That doesn't mean it's their school, it means they want new kids to think it is, to massage their egos." He looked at Jaden. "What do you want to bet that if I call Campus Security and ask them to come here, they will order them to take it down?"
The blue haired student looked at Jaden for a few moments. "Wait a minute...you're that kid!"
Before any of them could say anything, the brown haired student shouted. "Hey Chazz! The guy who beat Dr Crowler is here!"
The twins and Syrus turned to see a taller boy in blue with spiky black hair and cold eyes staring down at them, or rather Jaden in particular. Jaden waved at the new kid, "Hey, sup? I'm Jaden and you're...Chuzz was it?" he asked, looking at the first two blues. Chazz growled at him.
"He's Chazz Princeton and he was the number one duelist at Duelist Prep School, so you better pay the proper respect!" The blue haired teen snapped.
His partner nodded. "Yeah, he does gonna be the next King of Games, the best duelist in da world!"
Jaden crossed his arms over his chest. "Impossible..."
"What did you just say?" Raizou blinked.
"Well, it's impossible for him to be the next King of games...'cuz that's exactly what I'm gonna be!" Jaden grinned. The Obelisks stared at him and started laughing at what they had heard. "You? A Ra Reject as the next King of Games? That'll be the day!"
Jet rolled his eyes. "Like it matters what dorm we start out in. By the end of the year, we could be wearing blue and you could be in yellow."
The two boys stopped laughing abruptly and glared at Jet. "Can it you two." Chazz said as he walked down the ramp a little. "Maybe the new kid is right. He did beat Crowler after all...and that legendary rare monster of his. I guess it takes some skill to pull that off."
"Aw, thanks." Jaden said.
"Or maybe it was just pure luck..." Chazz snorted ignoring Jaden's thanks. "I'd say we find that out right now!"
Jaden's grin became bigger. "Bring it!" He challenged.
"Well this certainly is a motley crew..." said a new voice.
They all turned to see another Obelisk walk up to them. This Obelisk was a girl with a fit, athletic build. She had a long sandy blonde hair and light brown eyes. She was wearing a white sleeveless top with blue trim, blue miniskirt and blue high-heel boots.
"Who's she?" Syrus whispered loudly.
"I have no idea. Let's hope she's not like other three." Jet whispered back.
Chazz smirked. "Hey Alexis. You come to watch me mop the floor with my new friend Jaden? I promise you it'll be a short duel, but a fun one."
The girl, Alexis, crossed her arms and glared at him. "Actually, I came to remind you that you're late for the Obelisks' Welcome Dinner,"
"Oh yeah..." Chazz leapt over the railing and onto the floor. "Come on guys." Alexis shook her head as the three other Obelisks left the arena.
"Sorry about them." She said as she turned to the Slifer. "Not all us Obelisks are like that. Chazz is just a big jerk."
"It's no problem." Jet said.
Jaden nodded. "Types like that don't bother us. I would have beaten him in one turn."
"One turn?" Jet arched his eyebrow.
"Well...yeah. Two turns...maybe two and half." Jaden blinked as Alexis began to giggle. "What's so funny?"
Alexis shook her head as she stopped. "Nothing, don't worry about it. Oh yeah, the other Welcoming Dinner is starting too and you don't want to be late."
Jaden started to get in a jogging motion. "We gotta get back before all the food is gone!" Jet was right behind him.
"Wait up!" Syrus called as he ran after them.
Just before they were about to leave, Jaden stopped running and turned back to the Obelisk girl. "Oh uh...what was your name again?" He called out.
Alexis blinked once and smiled. "My name is Alexis. Alexis Rhodes! And you are?"
"Jaden Yuki and this is Jet!" He replied, gesturing to Jet. "See ya around!" And with that he, Jet and Syrus ran off.
"Hey, why didn't introduce me?" Syrus asked as they left.
"This will sure be a fun year." Alexis said to herself.
XXXXXXXX
The Slifers got back to the dorm, just in time for dinner. They grabbed trays and sat down in at an empty table. Chumley sat down at the same table.
"Chumley, this is my brother, Jet."
Jet waved. "What's up, big man?"
"Hey, Jet. Any room for me?" Drake walked up to them.
"Sure." The Orange haired sat down next to Jet.
"Everyone, this is my roommate, Drake."
Billie and another girl walked up the group. The other girl was built like Billie but was a little thinner. She had long violet hair, gold eyes and wore the regular Slifer girls' uniform.
"Mind if we sit here too?" Billie asked.
Jet looked around the table. "Nobody gonna stop ya."
"Hi, I'm Giselle, but call me Elle." The girls sat down.
"Look at our headmaster! It's a cat!" A Slifer student pointing at a pudgy, brown and black striped cat that was taking a snooze at the Slifer dining hall. A tall and skinny looking man with a dark hair and a pair of glasses came out from the kitchen area. He seemed like a nice teacher, normal too.
"Hello children, I'm Professor Banner." The man greeted with a light German accent. "Before we eat, I would like everyone to say some..." Before he could continue he was interrupted by Jaden.
"This is great!" He had already begun to stuff his face with rice while everyone else had been gawking at their food.
"Jaden, I think he wanted us to say something about ourselves." Syrus said, trying to stop his friend from eating.
"Okay, how 'bout this, I'm starving!" Jaden said with his mouth full.
"He's walking over here." Syrus warned but Jaden was still stuffing his face full of food. "I mean it he's..." Syrus couldn't finish that sentence since Professor Banner now stood over them.
"Since some of us can't wait..." He said with a scowl then in a friendly tone. "Let's eat!"
"All right!" Jaden said, taking in the rest of his food.
Just as dinner was over, Jaden's DP rang as a message came in. "Slacker, meet me at the Arena at midnight for that duel."
"Wow, who did you piss off, dude?" Drake asked.
"Chazz."
Elle blinked. "Chazz Princeton?"
Jet nodded. "He thinks he's good or something."
"I heard he's really good." Billie said.
"Are you going to duel him?" Syrus asked.
Jaden smiled. "Are you kidding? This is going to be sweet."
"So, who is going with him?" Jet asked.
"Mom would kill if I get in any trouble." Drake shook his head.
"Mine too." Billie said.
"Sorry, I'm not going either." Elle said.
XXXXXXXX
A little before midnight...
Jaden, Jet and Syrus made walked into the second floor of the Arena. The three Obelisks were waiting for them.
"Well well well...you showed up, Slacker." Chazz greeted.
Jaden smiled. "Of course! No way was I gonna miss this!"
"Well, there has been a change of plans. Torimaki wants to duel your Slacker brother." Chazz said.
"Fine." Jet walked onto the duel field.
"This will be an easy duel." Torimaki laughed as he took the other side of the court.
"DUEL!"
Torimaki: 8000 Lp
Jet: 8000 Lp
He drew his hand and saw he grabbed the wrong deck. This was the deck he wanted to use tomorrow. 'I was planning to test it later, but I guess it can have its test run now."
"Since you're the Obelisk, I'll go first." Jet said.
"You're gonna need all the help you can get." Torimaki smirked.
Jet drew his sixth card. "I'm take this duel to some where you've never been before. With this, my Field Spell, Astral Battlefield!" The metal arena around them shattered like glass, revealing an endless purple abyss with transparent debris floating around them.
"What the hell?"
Jet chuckled at Torimaki's reaction. "You don't like it? Too bad. It's gonna be staying. I summon Soul Weapon- Cobra Chain." Jet's Duel Disk disappeared and was replaced by a purple metal cobra wrapping Jet's forearm. (1900/1000)
"All Warrior Soul cards gain 400 attack and defense points while they are on this battlefield." The snake uncoiled a little as the weapon came to live. (1900/1000-2300/1400)
Four hologram cards appeared facing Jet. The dark haired duelist motion for one and it turned over. "Now, I activate Quick Rush. With this, any four star monster can attack regardless of other effects or conditions."
"What! That's no fair!"
"Oh, it's very fair." Jet chuckled as he shot the cobra head at the Obelisk. The weapon sunk its teeth into Torimaki's neck, causing him to wince in pain.
T: 5700 Lp
J: 8000 Lp
"And before I forget, my Chain has a special ability. Well, two but only one has been activated. When it causes battle damage, you lose 300 more life points." The snake bit down before retracting.
T: 5400 Lp
J: 8000 Lp
"I place one card down." One of the holograms laid down, keeping itself concealed. "With all that done, I end my turn."
Torimaki growled as he drew. The card he drew made him smile. "I play Polymerization to fuse Lord of Dragons and Divine Dragon Ragnarok, summoning King Dragun to the field!"
A man with a dragon skeleton on his body and a white, serpentine-like dragon appeared then fused together in a vortex. The new monster was the man's body connected to a long, rainbow colored body. (2400/1000)
"Check out his special ability. I can summon one Dragon from my hand. I like this one, Magna-Slash Dragon." A light green dragon with giant blade on it's arms roared. (2400/1200)
"Dragun, destroy his Cobra Chain." Dragun fired a yellow blast at Jet and his weapon. The blast consumed him, which caused the Dragon duelist to laugh. That laughter stopped when he saw the snake head shoot through the King's attack, went straight through the monster and once again, bit Torimaki's neck once more.
T: 5100 Lp
J: 8000 Lp
"What happened? My monster was stronger!" Torimaki snapped.
"When Warrior Soul does battle with a stronger monster while this field spell is active, that monster loses 400 attack and defense points. And both of my monster's effects kick in, you lose 300 life points because it destroyed a monster in battle and another 300 for the battle damage." Jet explained as his weapon bit Torimaki, draining more life points, then went back to Jet.
T: 4500 Lp
J: 8000 Lp
"I'll play the spell, Spellbook Inside the Pot, allowing us to both draw three cards."
"I activate the trap card, Dual Draw. This allows me to draw double the amount of cards that a card effect says." The Obelisk drew three cards while the Slifer drew six.
Torimaki hid his smile from Jet. "I set two cards and end my turn."
Nine holographic cards appeared in front of Jet and a tenth one appeared as his turn started. "Well, Cobra has done enough damage. I sacrifice it to summon Soul Weapon- Crane Umbrella." The Chain vanished and his disk reappeared, along with a paper umbrella that looked like a crane bird. (2500/1200-2900/1600)
The Slifer looked down at his new cards. "I set one facedown and attack your Dragon with my Umbrella." Jet threw the umbrella causing it to spin like a top but cut through the bladed dragon like a buzz saw.
T: 4000 Lp
J: 8000 Lp
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell card, Duality. With this, I can tribute a Light monster to summon a Dark one or vice versa. I sacrifice the Light monster, Crane Umbrella to special summon the Dark Monster, Soul Weapon- Jaguar Claws." Crane Umbrella was replaced with a set of metal claws over the black haired duelist's fingers and metal boots that looked like an animal's talons, while that was happening Jet's Duel Disk disappeared again. (2600/2100-3000/2500)
"Oh, and my Claws can attack." Jet rushed the Dragon Duelist on all fours.
"I activate my two facedowns. Both being Nutrient Z."
T: 12000 Lp
J: 8000 Lp
The Soul Duelist slashed the Obelisk in one motion and turned back around, going to his original spot.
T: 9000 Lp
J: 8000 Lp
"That was very good. I set three cards facedown then end my turn." Jet grinned, savagely.
Torimaki drew a new card. "I play Card of Sanctity." Both players drew to fill their hands. "I play Cost Down. Now I discard one card from my hand and the levels of the monsters in my hand decrease by two levels. I summon Luster Dragon #2!" An emerald covered dragon appeared on the field. (2400/1400)
"Now, Lightning Vortex, destroy his Jaguar Claws!" A strike of lightning destroyed Jet's claws, after the Obelisk discarded a card. "Luster Dragon, attack him directly!"
"You tripped my trap, Magic Cylinder." The dragon's attack went in one tube and back out the other, headed for Torimaki.
T: 6600 Lp
J: 8000 Lp
"I end my turn."
Jet drew. "Now, I activate Astral Fusion. I can fuse Soul Weapon monsters from my graveyard by removing them from play, but when Astral Battlefield is on the field, I don't have to remove them." A purple vortex appeared overhead. "I fuse Cobra Chain and Jaguar Claws to summon Soul Weapon- Samurai Katana." A katana with red handle descend from the vortex and floated into Jet's hand. (3000/2500-3400/2900)
"I summon Soul Weapon- Hawk Sword." The katana was replaced with a red hawk head gauntlet with a sword coming out of the beak. (1800/1400-2200/1800)
"And I can special summon a level four Soul Weapon from my hand. I get to bring out, Soul Weapon- Starfish Shuriken." The hawk head disappeared and a large metal starfish. (1700/1100-2100/1500)
"Now, Samurai Katana, attack his Dragon." The katana reappeared as Jet swung it, unleashing an arc of energy that cut the large dragon clear in half.
T: 5600 Lp
J: 8000 Lp
"And when Soul Weapon- Samurai Katana destroys a monster, you lose life points equip to that monster's attack points." Jet slammed the sword into the ground, causing a blue pillar of energy to erupt under Torimaki.
T: 3200 Lp
J: 8000 Lp
"Starfish Shuriken, attacks you directly." Jet threw the Shuriken after it replaced the large sword.
T: 1100 Lp
J: 8000 Lp
The hawk weapon appeared once more. "Game over." Jet slashed the Obelisk.
T: 0000 Lp
J: 8000 Lp
The Slifer walked over to his friends as the holograms disappeared. "That was sweet, Bro. Your new deck is really something else." Jaden smiled.
"Thanks." He looked over to the Obelisks as Chazz yelled at the lackey for losing without denting Jet's Life Points. "Man, he acts like I was supposed to just lose the second my turn was over."
Chazz walked up to the duel field. "Get up here, Slacker!"
Jaden walked on the field. "Get your game on!"
"DUEL!"
Jaden: 8000 Lp
Chazz: 8000 Lp
Chazz smirked. "I'll start by summoning Reborn Zombie in defense mode." The monster Chazz played was a decaying zombie, wearing a tattered cloak with gray hair and no eyes, the bones of its right hand and foot were showing. (1000/1600)
"And I'll play a facedown."
"That's one way to start a duel. But I'm gonna go big so here it goes!" Jaden drew his card and looked over his hand. "First off, I'll play the Spell Card Polymerization and I'll fuse my Elemental Heroes Avian and Burstinatrix from my hand to summon the Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!" Everyone watched as Avian and Burstinatrix appeared on the field before swirling into each other once more. Now, in their place, the large winged creature was on the field. (2100/1200)
"I told you I was starting big." Jaden smiled.
"I was hoping you would..." Chazz laughed.
Jaden blinked in confusion. "Why's that?"
"Because that facedown I played is a Trap Card and youset it off! Chthonian Polymer, do your stuff!" He ordered.
"I knew it! I had a feeling I'd find you guys here!"
Syrus turned around to see Alexis walking up to them. "Alexis?"
"Chthonian Polymer is a nasty Trap Card. It allows you take control of your opponent's Fusion Monster if you sacrifice one of your own," She explained.
"But..." Syrus looked back at his friend, "Jaden just brought out a Fusion Monster!"
"I now sacrifice my Reborn Zombie to take control of your Wingman!" Chazz laughed as his monster exploded in a blast of light and Jaden's Hero appeared on his side of the field. But it was different than normal, Wingman was now in darker colors and growling in a rage of dark aura.
Jaden groaned as he lost his best monster. "Oh man...my Wingman."
Chazz shook his head. "You're so predictable, Jaden. You wouldn't stop talking about this monster that day of the exams. I knew that you would use it soon."
Jet laughed. "He's not as predictable as you think. Right, Jaden?"
"Let's see, I'll play Miracle Fusion to refuse my Heroes into Elemental Hero Great Tornado." A green and yellow hero, wearing a brown cloak, appeared in a tornado. (2800/2200) "His ability cuts the attack and defense of all your monsters in half." Jaden said. (2100/1200-1050/600)
"And since I haven't normal summoned yet. I summon Elemental Hero Heat!" A red and white muscular hero appeared next to Great Tornado. (1600/1200) "He gains 200 attack points for every Hero on my field." (1600/1200-2000/1200)
"Heat, attack Wingman!" Heat destroyed Wingman with a fire punch.
J: 8000 LP
C: 7050 LP
"And Tornado, attack him directly!" The green hero summoned up a massive wind, which cut Chazz.
J: 8000 LP
C: 4250 LP
"I'll end my turn."
Chazz drew and smiled. "I activate Monster Reborn!" Reborn Zombie appeared on the field again. But it wouldn't be staying long. "I sacrifice my Zombie to summon Chthonian Emperor Dragon!" A huge, dark green dragon roared to life. (2400/1500) "I'll equip him with Axe of Despair." (2400/1500-3400/1500)
"Emperor Dragon, destroy his Heat." The large dragon swiped it's tail and destroyed the fire hero.
J: 6600 LP
C: 4250 LP
"That was pretty sweet, Chazz! I never saw it coming!" Jaden laughed as he drew. "I play Re-Fusion to bring Flame Wingman back from the Graveyard." The green and red hero reappeared. "And next, I use Giant Trunade to return our cards to our hands." A massive whirlwind blew both Jaden's and Chazz's cards off the field. With Chazz's equip card back in his hand, his dragon lost power. (3400/1500-2400/1500)
"Now, Great Tornado, attack his Emperor Dragon!" The wind based hero made quick work of the Dragon, summoning a Tornado and shattering it to pieces.
J: 6600 LP
C: 3650 LP
"Wingman, attack Chazz!" Wingman's dragon hand opened and shot a fireball at the Obelisk, hitting him dead on.
J: 6600 LP
C: 1550 LP
Alexis turned her head to the entrance of the arena, a nervous look on her face. Jet noticed her look. "Sup, Lexi?"
Alexis' eyes went wide then snapped her head back to the two duelists. "Guys! We got company! 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?"
Alexis rolled her eyes. "The Rules of Duel Academy say that there is no off-hour dueling in any arena! Chazz knows that." She looked at the dark haired Obelisk whose face began to turn red. "But lemme guess...he didn't tell you?"
The blue haired Obelisk student leaned forward from his watching place, "C'mon Chazz, let's go!"
Princeton snorted and turned away from the others. "Fine..."
"Hey wait a minute, the duel isn't over!" Jaden protested.
Chazz hopped off the platform and walked away. "You're right, Slacker. This isn't over."
"Jay! We gotta get outta here!" Syrus urged.
"Yeah. Ok. Jet, can you get us all out of here?" Jaden turned to his brother.
Jet nodded. "Yeah, but it's not gonna be fun." He placed his hand on Alexis's shoulder, his other hand on Syrus'. Jaden walked over to them and placed his hand on Syrus' other shoulder.
"What's going on?" Alexis asked.
Jaden smiled at her. "Don't worry. Jet's got it under control."
Just as the Security Guards turned the corner, the four students vanished in a puff of black smoke, which was all the guards saw, black smoke. While they were a little confused about the smoke, the guards shrugged it off and continued their rounds.
In a similar cloud of smoke, the group appeared just outside the arena building. Jet was breathing hard and he leaned against the wall.
"Are you ok?" Alexis went to his side.
Jet nodded. "Yeah, I'm cool. Just a little winded." He looked at her and smiled. "Thanks."
"Sorry, I pushed you, bro." Jaden apologized.
His brother stood up and stretched. "Don't be sorry. Its more practice, soon I'll be able to do that with four people with ease."
"How did you do that?" Syrus asked.
The dark haired Slifer chuckled. "Do you believe in magic, Little Man?" With that, he once again vanished in a cloud of smoke.
"Man, I wish I could have finished that duel." Jaden groaned, just remembering the duel.
"I'm sure you'll get a chance to duel him again." Syrus said.
Alexis nodded. "Knowing Chazz. There is a good chance."
"Sweet, I can't wait. Catch ya later!" He said as Jaden and Syrus ran back to their dorm.
The Obelisk girl watched as the Slifers ran off. 'This is going to be one interesting year...' She thought with a smile before leaving for her own dorm.

Jet collapsed on his bed the minute he got close enough to it. He didn't bother to change out of his clothes but he did take off his hat. He looked over to Drake, who was already asleep. The Magician duelist quickly fell asleep after laying down.
He groaned as he woke back up. Only he wasn't in his dorm room, the teen was instead white stone temple. He stood up, walked out of the temple and saw Dark Empath meditating, with her eyes close, in front of a small pool of water.
"Hello." She didn't even open her eyes.
The Yuki teen sat down next to her, and crossed his legs. "Hi."
"I saw your duel against the boy with the dragons. I was impressed. You played very well." She complimented.
Jet smiled. "Thank you. He wasn't much of an opponent though."
"You should never underestimate an opponent, no matter who they are, it could cause your downfall." She responded.
The teen nodded. "Right. What are we practicing tonight?"
"We will discuss that later. First, you need to relax yourself. That is the only way you can learn."
"I think I know way for that to happen." Jet grinned.
The young woman opened her eyes, looked down at the grinning teen, then closed her eyes once more. "That is also something we will discuss later."

(I changed the Slifer dorm. Because the Blue dorms were like castles, the yellow dorm was like a regular dorm but with the Slifer dorm, it's like they ran of money to build a full dorm. So, I changed it a little to make it nicer, not as nice as the Ra dorm but good. Jet will be using the Soul Weapon cards every now and again. The twins seem a little strong, that will be explained later. With this chapter done, the retooling is now over! I will not restart ever again!)
