There was a complication, he...he was unable to recover.
What of Asmodeus?
Dead...for now.

Zakuro was bored, to say the least. Three days till the beginning of the school year, his second year. He looked into the pond and saw a crimson haired man with green eyes, a turquoise uniform reminiscent of the Osiris red uniform albeit with short sleeves. Zakuro kicked the water distorting his reflection; he then turned around eyeing the numerous trees that surrounded him.
"So you came after all"
Zakuro spun around to find a man dressed in a hooded white robe standing in the middle of the pond "Anyone ever tell you it's re-ally creepy to sneak up on people like that. You should probably rethink your grand entrance"
"Funny" the man replied sarcastically "You have your instructions right?"
Sora sighed; he'd been on the academy bound boat for three days, Domino city being the first stop on the boats journey. Tomorrow would be the day after would be the first years first time on campus. He sat up on his temporary bed and looked around the small room, a suit case was the only thing in the room aside from the bed. Sora stood up and exited the room.
"Might as well look for a duel while I'm up" he grunted.
As Sora walked down the long corridor full of rooms for the new students, someone hidden in the shadows followed after him.
Shido grunted as his opponents attack hit. His opponent, a masked man dressed in black referring to himself as the Bandit, laughed as his berserk dragon (A: 3000) returned to his field. Shido himself had no monsters on his field currently. Shido brushed his brown hair down, the attack had sent him flying back a bit, his green eyes moved quickly scanning the faces of the crowd, each one mocking him silently. Shido shook his head "Stop thinking like that, you have to make a fresh start, no more being picked on, no more of that"
"Are you all right?" the bandit asked. (LP: 1600)
"Mhn...em I-I am fine" Shido said standing back up (S:1000)
"Okay well it's your turn" Bandit replied (H:0)
"Draw" (H:4)
"Good luck trying to turn this around"
"My Removal From the Flow of Time trap from last turn activates bringing my Jurrac Guaiba back to the field (A:1700)" Shido said staring at his two face-down cards.
"So! What could he possibly do that could win the duel now?"
"My Guaiba won't be alone for long as I activate double summon to summon Jurrac Garim... (A:1200)"
"A tuner!" gasped someone from the crowd.
"-and Jurrac Velo (A:1700), I'll tune my three monster together" Shido said as Garim turned into two rings which surrounded Velo and Guaiba "Burning destruction, rain down from the heavens and eradicate all of my enemies, plunge the world into long lasting cold, synchro summon, burning dinosaur, Jurrac Meteor (A:2800/L:10)"
A light engulfed Velo and Guaiba, from the light a large green and red dinosaur/meteor began descending quickly. The crowd dispersed, some screaming others yelling in excitement. An announcement played over the intercom telling the students to calm down. It was at this point that Sora decided to walk out on deck.
"Oh my god! It's space Godzilla!" roared Sora as the monster hit the boat exploding in a flash of bright light.
As the smoke cleared Shido was already halfway towards the door to the deck bellow.
"Wait what about our duel!" shouted the Bandit (LP:0)
Shido turned around "I used face-down spirit Art Kurenai to sacrifice Meteor, his effect wiped the field, kurenai's wiped you life points" "This is my second win"
The bandit grinned, at least Sora thought he did. Sora stood up as the Bandit walked off the deck, the two crossed paths and Sora felt an odd surge of pain.
"What...the hell?"
"Soubou Sora, you're next"
"Yo, Sora!" called Daichi running over to his friend.
"What's up Daichi?"
"Did you manage to catch that duel? It was really amazing"
"The last few seconds of it, who was that masked guy?"
Daichi shrugged "No one knows"
"Doesn't this boat have some sort of security?" Sora asked shocked "How did that guy get on?"
Zakuro laughed as he removed his mask, he smiled as he fished his phone out of his pocket. Around the corner Takeru was hiding frowning as he recognised the older boy.
"It's me Zakuro, yes I just finished the duel now, and he definitely isn't worth our time, He barely managed to win and even then it was all based on luck. I met Sora as well, he seems...different. I'll keep you posted"
Takeru smiled upon hearing this "It seems that little Shido has actually won two duels, albeit barely. He must be feeling good about himself right now. Time to bring back down to the dirt where he belongs"
Zakuro smiled as he heard Takeru's footsteps walking in the opposite direction "What an idiot." Zakuro discarded the toy phone he held in his hand as he walked away "That whole conversation sounded so forced as well, my god what an idiot"
"Hey, you're Akita Shido right?" Sora asked running through the crowd of people to get to the boy in question
"Y-yeah, I'm Akita Shido" Shido replied he vaguely recalled seeing the silver haired boy in front of him.
"Hello, I'm Soubou Sora" Sora said extending his hand.
Shido hesitated expecting some sort of trick before shaking Sora's hand "Hello Sora and..."
"My name is Daichi" Daichi said shaking Shido's hand.
"Nice to meet you"
WHY
The day had just flown by, for that Sora was thankful. In one hour they would be arriving at their destination, Duel academy, a school for duellists, and a school for him. He finished packing his suitcase and left his room to look for Daichi and Shido. He found the two in the duel arena, they were watching a duel between a Black haired duellist in an Osiris uniform and a hooded duellist in a grey coat, blue jeans and red hoodie. The boy in the gray coat had a large orange bird on his field with which he declared a direct attack with.
"Hey Daichi, Shido" Sora said walking towards them.
"Hello Sora" Shido replied, Daichi just nodded in reply.
"Who's the guy in the grey coat?"
"That's Yamaguchi Kenchiro, he's a fellow freshman, he uses a one of a kind deck, and is very skilled duellist, ranking number 1 in his old school and he's also won several international tournaments" Mizuki said appearing from seemingly nowhere.
"When did you get there?" Sora asked taken aback.
"I walked here with you."
"You did?"
"Yes, you moron!" Mizuki shouted smacking Sora upside the head.
Shido and Daichi stifled a laugh as Mizuki continued to hit the steel haired boy. Takeru walked up to the group and cleared his throat to get their attention. He frowned when the group didn't notice him. He cleared his throat again... the group continued to ignore him.
"EXCUSE ME!" he roared
"Oh hello" Sora replied turning around "My names Sora, what's the problem."
"T-Takeru w-what do you want?" Shido sounded genuinely afraid something which only Takeru and Kenchiro, who was still duelling, picked up on.
"Well I...wait hold on I have it written down here" began Takeru before rooting around in his pockets, he produced a sheet of paper which he began reading from "Eh-hem, Well it seems weak little Shido has actually won a duel...woops that was crossed out...actually won two duels, Maybe you want to see if you can keep your winning streak going?"
Everyone was silent for a while; eventually Sora broke the silence "Eh sorry could you rephrase that"
"He says he wants to duel Shido" Kenchiro said walking over to the group of five. His hood was now down revealing his light brown hair and his bright blue eyes "Although from the way he phrased it, I assume he just wants to bully Shido"
"Yeah everything he said" Takeru said laughing "After all cry-baby Shido has only ever won three duels, he shouldn't even be here"
"So...you're just the generic bully?" Kenchiro asked staring oddly at Takeru.
"Yeah, what he said...wait what?"
Shido himself was torn between bursting into laughter, or running for away from Takeru in fear.
"You, with absence of a reason, pick on Shido" Kenchiro replied with a mocking tone "an obstacle which he'll eventually overcome"
"Eh...Shut your mouth!" roared Takeru "Shido I challenge you to a duel!"
Shido was unsure at first, but then he locked eyes with Sora, and remembered his own duel exam.
Flash Back
(Shido vs. Prof. Nakamura)
(S:100) (N: 1700)
"Congratulations on inflicting so much damage in one turn." Nakamura said mocking Shido with each word, Nakamura was an Obelisk blue teacher, evident by his large blue blazer, he looked to be in his mid-to-late forties, with black grey hair which unsuitably fell about his head and was about neck length, he wore the darkest sunglasses Shido had ever seen. On his field were two face-up trap cards, Visitors be gone (A trap that sent all monsters drawn in the draw phase to the grave-yard), and Trap Nullification field (A trap that prevents the opponent from using traps) "However, without the ability to summon a monster of play a trap you won't be able to win"
Shido was staring at the floor, his hopes of getting into the academy were pretty low. He had managed to ace the written test, but he would still have to at least play moderately well to get into duel academy. Playing the game was something he could never excel at. He couldn't win and he knew it. He looked up at the various people watching his duel, nearly all were laughing at the terrible duellist. He thought of giving until he saw Kenchiro. He was watching the duel closely, he locked eyes with Shido and Shido who had been about to give up suddenly felt anger. Years of pent up aggression flew out, he stared at the professor and drew his card (H:1)
"So what type of card did you draw?" Nakamura asked noting the child's weird burst of anger.
"I drew the card Monster Reborn!"
"Darn!"
"I use monster reborn to re-summon Jurrac Velo!" shouted Shido as the red and green dinosaur appeared on the field beside him (A:1700) "Velo end this now, attack!"
"N:0!" roared Nakamura
Flashback end
"I-I accept!" Shido retorted.
"Let's go right, here right NOW!
The two duellists activated their dueldisks. Daichi and Mizuki who had remained quiet throughout this altercation shared a knowing glance. Kenchiro nodded as Shido looked over toward him and Sora.
"DUEL"
(S:4000)(T:4000)
"Winners always go first!" roared Takeru drawing a card (H:6) "I summon my Six Samurai-Irou! (A:1700), you can go"(H:5)
(S:4000)(T:4000)
"Draw" Shido said ripping a card from his deck (H:6) "I activate double summon to summon Jurrac Dino (A:1700) who I'll then sacrifice to summon Jurrac Herra (A:2300)!" shouted Shido as a green and yellow dinosaur with two cannons spewing fire appeared beside him.
"Heh"
"Herra! Attack DUAL FIRE BLAST!"
"What an awful attack name" laughed Takeru as Irou exploded in a shower of pixels. "Now since I've taken Battle Damage (T:3400)I can special summon from my hand Tragoedia (A:?)(H:4)"
"Tragoedia, his attack is equal to the cards in your hand multiplied by 600 which equals 2400" Shido but in.
"Yes my Tragoedia is the most powerful monster on the field (A:2400)" laughed Takeru "though not by much!"
"I-I end my turn" Shido looked down at the ground disheartened. (H:3)
(S:4000)(T:3400)
"Draw" Takeru smiled as he added another card to his hand (H:5)"I think I'll activate this right away, go pot of greed!" shouted Takeru drawing two cards (H:6) " and guess what that means (TR=3600) however I activate megamorph which doubles the attack of Tragoedia as long as my life points are lower than yours" (TR=3000x2=6000)
"Oh no" Shido braced for impact as Tragoedia ripped Herra in half and jumped down to smack Shido three feet across the ground (S:300).
"I activate mystical tornado to get rid of megamorph" Takeru said smiling as Shido struggled to his feet (TR=2400) "You can go"(H:4)
(S:300)(T:3400)
"My turn" Shido said drawing a card "I summon a monster in face-down defence mode, you go"
(S:300)(T:3400)
"I know what you want me to do" Takeru laughed drawing a card (H:5)"I'm not going to attack your monster, so you can forget about bringing back Herra, I end my turn with a face-down"(H:4)
(S:300)(T:3400)
"Draw" Shido said smiling as he added a card to his hand "I flip summon Jurrac Protops (A:1700) and summon Jurrac Velo (A:1700), which I'll tune together (P:4+V:3=7) Burning Dinosaur, appear now and strike down my opponent, synchro summon, be born from fire, Jurrac Giganoto (level:7/Dinosaur/Synchro/Effect/Fire/2100/1800)"
"Giganoto" Kenchiro said whistling "with his effect of all Jurrac on the field getting 200 attack points for each Jurrac in the grave it brings Giganoto up to 2900 Attack points, now if he deals with that trap he can-"
"Giganoto attack his Tragoedia!" Shido shouted as Giganoto flung itself at Tragoedia.
"I didn't want to end it on such a bad note as this but, I activate Magic Cylinder" Takeru said as a large cylinder appeared before him, Giganoto flew into the cylinder and then shot out hitting Shido and knocking him onto his back.
"Why...why did I lose?" Shido shouted slamming his fists into the deck of the boat (S:0)
"Well you see Shido-" began Takeru.
"You lost because you were reckless, if you had just taken care of that trap card you wouldn't have lost!" Kenchiro retorted.
Shido looked through his hand and found heavy storm "Dammit!"
"Weak little Shit-o, can't duel for his Life-o!" laughed Takeru "You should just give up on trying to-"
"Shut up" Sora whispered, the tone of his voice caused everybody, but Kenchiro, to freeze in shock "If you think you're such a powerful duellist, why don't you try and take me on!"
"Fine, I'll duel you right now!"
Sora and Takeru both activated their dueldisk as Mizuki walked off not wanting to watch Sora tear Takeru apart, Daichi followed after her to see what was wrong.
(S:4000)(T:4000)
"Winner's first" Sora growled drawing a card (H:6) "Future Hero Atlantian Knight, I summon you to the field (A blonde haired woman in blue armor holding a sword made of Ice appeared in front of Sora)(A:1600), I place two cards face-down" (H:3)
(S:4000)(T:4000)
"Draw" Takeru said drawing a card "I summon Legendary Six Samurai Mizuho (A:1600)"
"I activate Trap Hole destroying your monster" Sora retorted.
"I-i end my turn"
(S:4000)(T:4000)
"My turn draw" Sora said adding a card to his hand "I activate double summon, this allows me to summon both Future Hero Nitro Fighter (A man in large robotic red armor)(A:2000) and Future Hero Rabid Tiger (An anthropomorphic tiger in blue robotic armor)(A: 1700)"
"D-damn!" Takeru shouted afraid "He's like a whole other league, just like that machine emperor bitch"
"All of my monsters attack you directly" Sora said turning his back and following behind Mizuki and Daichi.
"DAMN YOU SORA, I WILL BEAT YOU, AND THEN I'LL ERADICATE THAT MACHINE EMPEROR BITCH!"
As Sora walked away Shido ran after him. Kenchiro stood over the fallen Takeru.
"You have the potential Takeru. If it weren't for your obvious failings, as for Sora I guess I'll just have to duel him myself to find out if he has the potential. As for you" said Kenchiro, he then turned around to find Zakuro behind him.
"So, you the potential" Zakuro said walking towards Kenchiro.
"Yeah, it seems that you have the potential too" Kenchiro replied "But judging by your uniform I'd say you're one of them"
Anyway that's the end to chapter two, a very cliff-hangerish ending. Anyway sorry for the long update, however if I don't get chapter three out by the end of this week, then eh I wouldn't expect it to be out till July or thereabouts.
Next time,
Kenchiro: Soubou Sora, I challenge you to a duel!
Sora: Fine I suppose we need an awesome duel to start out the first semester.
Takeru: Red, red...I am not a bloody dropout boy!
Kenchiro: Looks like we'll be rooming together for this year.
NEXT TIME, THE BURNING PHOENIX VS THE FUTURE HEROES
Mizuki: I wonder when I'll get to duel?
Daichi: You? What about me?
