Hey there folks! Done with Finals so I'll be working hard on turning the suggestions you gave. That reminds me…
*Checks Chapter Suggestions and smiles*
Well, I gotta say the Halloween duel idea is good. Someone suggested that the Theme for Obelisk Blue be Star Wars.
*hears fanboys Chanting*
Yeah, yeah, yeah! I know already! JEEZ! Alexis will be dressed in the Slave Leia uniform from ROTJ.
Now While I'm glad that was suggested, I would prefer to stay in September for at least two more chapters. I'll probably do some own ideas that have been percolating in my head but I take your suggestions VERY seriously. But enough about that, onto the chapter!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot idea. TF is owned by Hasbro and Yu-Gi-Oh is owned by Konami.
Jaden stared out of the window on the Helicopter overlooking the vast blue ocean that sparkled with the afternoon sun; he was still in disbelief at what had gone down at the Entrance Exams. His brother, Jason Matthias Yuki, had returned from the years of being AWOL and had utterly destroyed Crowler in a mirror of his own duel. But his brother had won it with a brutality that made even Seto Kaiba flinch; Kaiba was in his own VIP room which was hidden by a holographic wall. Jaden knew of this because he had one of his former Autobot techs help to make it.
Jason. The name brought back a lot of Memories for Jaden; a lot of them both good and bad. But the moment at the Exam Hall…that was permanently etched into his mind. The mindless hordes of Decepticon Machines coming back from the Card Graveyard as nothing more than Machine Zombies, fueled by the chaotic essence of Dark Energon. His own key card, Megatron, was a powerhouse before with the same attack stats as one of the Blue-Eyes White Dragons but now had become even more of a force of nature with the Dark Energon Equip spell and the Unicron Blessing Continuous spell. The power of bringing the dead back to life and using them to grant power to a single monster…it made Jaden shudder in fear.
He heard a small whimper but he ignored it, his mind too preoccupied with seeing his brother again after so long of a time.
His thoughts came to a halt when an intercom crackled to life, the pilots announcing to their passengers that they would be soon seeing the island and where they would stay for four years of their lives. Every one of the teens scrambled for a window and then Jaden saw him sitting alone, his left arm crossed over his chest, his artificial right resting on the arm, the index finger tapping impatiently, his mismatched eyes narrowed and his face set into a permanent glare with his eyebrows furrowed, obviously thinking or plotting something.
Jaden watched as his brother's head snapped up making him stare into the hellish pools and mentally cringed; the fire burning in his brother's eyes…it gave out untold darkness that would swallow one up if they weren't careful. Staring into those abysses was enough to make him scared for his soul.
Jaden quickly lowered his eyes, not seeing the feral grin Jason sported as his brother continued to stare. He couldn't bear to look into those eyes that were once as kind and gentle as his was but now reflected hate and a viciousness that not many could ever hope to obtain.
Jaden resumed looking out the window and saw a very large island with a large building with four roofs each a various color; blue, yellow, red with the top most roof being white. He saw several Obelisks (Not the God) surrounding the building. Jaden gave a large smile, temporary forgetting his twin brother as he looked forward to his new chapter in life.
GXP
Jaden gave out another sigh as he adjusted his Yellow Blazer; despite scoring a hundred and ten percent on his written exam, the highest ever recorded in DA's short history, and his perfect duel with no loss of his Life Points, he was sorted into Ra Yellow. Obviously Crowler didn't take his loss to Jason very well and decided to 'punish' both of them by being in 'lower-class' dorms.
Jaden was currently standing among the Ra Yellows while Jason stood among the Slifer Reds. But he wasn't wearing their uniform; rather he was still wearing his own jacket over the silver tee. His bangs hid his eyes once more but everyone kept away from him by the simple aura he was excluding to the rest of the assembled.
Jaden briefly heard the headmaster of the school speaking, but his mind was still a whirl with the thoughts about his brother; why come back after so many years? What changed him? How did he evade his network for so long? Why here of all places?
But the biggest question on Jaden's mind was where did he get those cards?!
"Now then!" Came Headmaster Sheppard's voice forcing the thoughts of Jaden's away. "Is there anything anyone would like to ask?"
The man was overly large; not fat, but well-rounded. He had a receding hairline and wore a maroon colored blazer over blue jeans with dark brown shoes. His eyes were a grayish-blue and they twinkled in the light with his smile. Jaden felt that this Headmaster was pretty good.
"I have a question." Jason's voice rang out over the silent crowd making Jaden whirl to face his brother going up to the front.
The headmaster looked at Jason with his disarming smile but Jason's face didn't even twitch making the man frown; the boy was extremely serious about his question.
"Alright then! What is it?" The Headmaster asked.
Jason revealed his different colored eyes making the man take a step back at the icy, raw fury in them. His jaw became a cross between a sneer and a smirk making his face even more sadistic looking. He spoke in an emotionless, cool voice.
"Why is it that your good 'doctor' Crowler ignored the Duel Academy Charter set down by Seto Kaiba?"
Stunned silence met the question like a barreling train; Sheppard's eyes grew to enormous portions as his eyes became nothing more than little pinpricks. Crowler looked livid and paler then usual as every eye focused on him.
"Crowler…what does he mean?" A lanky-looking man with a cat in his arms asked with a frown.
Crowler thought quickly and came up with a perfect lie; at least perfect in his mind.
"The boy is clearly upset about where he has been placed Banner. I believe that a good old fashion suspension is what the little brat needs." Crowler said confidently with a smug grin.
Laughter echoed in the hall but it wasn't a joyous laughter that sounded; no, it was biting cold and as black as the space beyond. Everyone shivered at the noise; to them it was like an ominous ring of a bell.
"Is that what you believe in Crowler? Or are you just too proud to admit that you fell to a duelist; a duelist with more skill in his one pinkie then you have in your entire body?" He snarled as he finished his laughter.
Crowler's face turned three shades of red and he marched down the stairs from the podium to meet the boy.
"HOW DARE YOU! I HAVE A PH.D IN DUELING! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG AND HOW MUCH EFFORT IS PUT INTO SUCH A THING?!" Crowler screeched.
"Obviously not a hell of a lot if they just gave you one." Jason bit back making a lot of the other students snicker and making Crowler go an even darker shade.
"Enough!" Sheppard bellowed out. "I'll take what you say under consideration…Mister?"
Jason gave the man a glare so cold, it made Lucifer sneeze in hell. Sheppard stumbled back at the glare and snarl on the younger man's face.
"You WILL NOT take this under consideration Sheppard. Do not think for one iota of a second that you are above us despite your role. Wouldn't want any Skeletons of your predecessor coming out and ruining the school do you?" Jason sneered making Sheppard go albino white.
"Wha…huh? H-how do you know about that?!" Sheppard stammered out.
Waving his hand in a dismissed manner, Jason ploughed on.
"How I know is of little importance. I will, however, compromise on our situation. Crowler duels me once more; if I win…" Jason began but was interrupted by the boy known as Chazz.
"If you win, you get into Blue am I right?" Chazz said snidely making the former gang leader turn to the boy.
"Oh, look…a mini-Crowler. Try not to replicate for the sake of the world. And be quiet please, the adults are speaking." Jason said scathingly making everyone back away from Chazz, the thought of him being a mini-Crowler too disturbing. Chazz merely glared at Jason and silently vowed revenge.
"Now where were we?" The former Deception leader muttered. "AH! I remember! If I win, you allow Prime into Blue and myself to be a student with no allegiance to any Dorm and free to do whatever I want. Should I lose, Prime and myself will leave the island and head to one of the other Academies. Is this fair, Sheppard?"
Sheppard wordlessly nodded making Crowler's jaw drop; surely the headmaster didn't mean it?
"Pick your jaw up and duel Crowler." Jason sneered as his right arm assembled into his duel disk; the two panels opened to reveal his LP counter, the fingers slid across the side of the arm at a foot apiece, the monster zones slid in-between the fingers as a special card holder popped out and a deck zone slid out with a hiss. A holographic image of the Decepticons showed up on the front facing Crowler.
It took a few minutes but Crowler was soon decked out in his Duel Blazer and the new students were hustled up the bleachers. Jaden sat near the front and gave a sad sigh.
"Bro…I hope you know what you are doing." He muttered.
GXP
"Let's duel!" Jason and Crowler cried out at the same time.
Both of them drew their opening hand before Jason grabbed the sixth card and drew it before Crowler could react.
"Pros before failures." He snapped out making Crowler see red.
He checked the card he had drawn against the rest of his hand. He had two Fliers, A spell card, two traps and a massive warship. He smirked; the spell and traps would help him out and the Fliers would give him the weaponry he needed.
"I'll summon out a Decepticon Flier in attack mode!"
(Decepticon Vehicon-Flier – Level/****, Attribute/DARK, Type/Machine, ATK/1800, DEF/1000. A Flier Drone in the service of the Decepticon Overlord Megatron and under the direct command of Air Commander Starscream. These seekers will pursue their given targets to any corner of the Universe and eliminate it with extreme measures.)
A large machine arose in a sea of light; the Vehicon was purple with a red visor to make it see a lot like a poor remake of Revenge of the Fallen Soundwave. It had two wings on its back signifying that it was a flier of the Decepticon Battle fleet.
"I'll place two cards facedown and end my turn."
"Time to put you in your place little boy!" Crowler sneered as a card slid out.
Crowler did the same as what Jason had done; checked the card he drew and the cards he had in his hand. He gave a grin at Jason who just gave a bored expression.
"Are you ready? If not, then too bad! I play the field spell card, Geartown!"
A panel slid open and Crowler placed the card in and snapped it shut. All around the arena towers of rusted gears and machines began rising casting dust and debris from above. Jason regarded the new spell with mild interest; his plan was not affected in any way shape or form.
(Geartown – Type/Spell/Field. Both players can Tribute Summon "Ancient Gear" monsters with 1 less Tribute than required. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Ancient Gear" monster from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard.)
"Now with that done…I summon forth my Ancient Gear Beast in attack mode!"
This made everyone's eyes go wide with shock.
"Crowler is doing what now?!"
"Last I checked, Beast was a level five! How is Crowler doing it?!"
"I knew that this kid's win was a fluke."
Jason just cocked an eyebrow; again, it was interesting but no threat to him and his plan.
(Ancient Gear Beast – LV/*****, Attribute/EARTH, Type/Machine/Effect, ATK/2000, DEF/2000. This card cannot be Special Summoned. The effects of your opponent's monsters that this card destroys by battle are negated. If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell or Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step.)
The monster was exactly like what the card name suggested; a beast made out of rusting gears and ancient armor. Its single yellow eye glowed as it gave out a mechanical roar. Jason simply activated a trap card.
"Metalmorph, transform my Flier to a steely Destroyer."
The trap card flipped up and glowed brightly before covering the Flier with a metallic sheen. The ruby visor glowered red indicating a surge of power.
Decepticon Flier – ATK/2100
"Curses. I'll set a card facedown and end my turn." Crowler said grudgingly.
A hologram of the facedown appeared just behind the Beast as Jason drew another card. He gave it look over and then checked his hand once more. He grabbed another card and placed it in his MZ.
"I'll summon another Decepticon Vehicon Flier in attack mode."
Another replica of the same flier appeared next to its twin. Jason regarded the facedowns Crowler had and then took another card from his hand and slid it into a free slot.
"I'll activate a spell card called Wind Turbine and equip it to my Metal enhanced Flier."
(Wind Turbine-Type/Spell/Equip. This card can only be equipped to a Machine-Type monster. If the equipped monster attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Traps during the battle phase. When the equipped monster deals battle damage, destroy all Spell and/or Trap cards on the opponent's side of the field.)
A fan appeared out of the card with several wires coiled like snakes. The coiled wires snapped forward and attached themselves to right arm of the metal menace and drove them into back of the machine. The Flier gave a surprised shout before falling silent as the turbine became something like a wind cannon.
"Now for a fight." Jason sneered. "Metal Flier! Attack with Wind Shear!"
Crowler gave a smirk; the boy had walked right into his perfectly laid trap!
"Nice try, but I use my own trap card! Mirror Force~!" Crowler called out in a sing-song tone.
Jason just began laughing his head off as Crowler announced his card. Everyone looked at the Leader in confusion.
While this was going on, the Metal Flier transformed into an alien jet and soared toward the rusting beast. The wind Turbine began to let loose a hurricane gale wind that was as sharp as knives. A metal glow surrounded this flier as its attack power soared.
Decepticon Vehicon – Flier –ATK/3100
The winds slammed into the rusting beast and easily cut through it like a hot knife through peanut butter. The beast fell to the ground in chunks of metal and rusted gears as several smaller debris struck the good doctor in the body.
Crowler: 2900/Jason: 4000
Everyone's jaws dropped as Crowler's eye twitched. Jason had finished laughing and was smirking at the doctor waiting for his predictable reaction.
"YOU CHEAT! YOU MADE MY DISK MALFUNCTION! SECURITY! GET THIS BOY OFF THE PLATFORM AND INTO THE SEA! TAKE HIS DECK AND RIP IT UP AND MAKE HIM WATCH!" Crowler squawked out.
Jason's face went from smirking to cool rage in three seconds flat. He leveled the gaze at the two guards coming making them stop dead cold. They never saw such eyes filled with emptiness but still showing rage.
"If I were you guards, I wouldn't listen to that big baby over there." He said with a touch of Ice making the guards back off. "Wind turbine works a lot like your Ancient Gear monsters Crowler. It makes it so that you can't use spells or traps during Battle. Oh yeah, I forgot one little detail."
The fan from the turbine screwed itself off before the Flier grabbed it and flung it like a Shurikin. The blade easily sliced right through the Factory and the facedown before returning to the actual turbine.
Jason's grin was more sharks then human…wait a second; his teeth were like a Shark's teeth! Seeing the stunned looks, Jason grinned even wider making many shudder.
"Wind Turbine also destroys all spells and traps you control Crowler. Though I will admit that you tried honestly."
Crowler's eyes twitched at the information. He did a quick scan of his hand and knew that the only card that could save him was…
"Now my second flier, strike Crowler down and strike deep!"
The second flier changed its left arm into a rod of some sort when a charging up sounded. It took aim at the doctor and a single purple beam of Energon seared the air. The beam struck the doctor and encompassed him as electricity cracked around the consumed form. Crowler gave out a long shriek as the energy glowed even brighter.
Crowler: 1100/Jason: 4000
When the energy finally dissipated, every one of the students saw the burnt form of the Blue Headmaster still standing with wide eyes. A rapid shaking after the discovery, Crowler was back to normal. Well, as normal as the guy could be. Jason pressed a button on his disk and flipped his second facedown card up.
"I activate the trap card, Space Bridge."
(Space Bridge-Type/Trap/Continuous. Once Per turn, You can Special Summon 1 Machine-type monster whose level is 5 or more stars from your hand or deck. A Monster Summoned by this effect cannot attack on the same turn it was Summoned. If this card is Destroyed, destroy all monsters Summoned by this effect.)
A massive slab of alien earth rose out from the card and a green swirling vortex appeared, sending out a wave of green residue energy. Jason smirked at Crowler as he fingered a single card.
"I'll use my Space Bridge to special summon Soundwave to the field in attack mode."
(Soundwave-LV/*******, Attribute/DARK, Type/Machine/Effect, ATK/2300, DEF/2900. Once per turn, you can view all Facedown cards on your opponent's side of the field. Return the cards to their original position.)
The being that came out of the card was tall and slender, easily Megatron the robot's height with a black visor for a face. Its color scheme was dark purple and black. It looked around once before its gaze settled on the Doctor. It then replied in it a recorded voice.
I'm going to enjoy breaking you.
Everyone's jaws dropped; it sounded just like the kind of thing the kid had said back at the exams, voice included! Jason grinned before he ended his turn.
"My turn!" Crowler snarled as he ripped a card off the top of his deck; figuratively of course.
The doctor looked at the card and frowned; his draw had gotten him an Ancient Gear Soldier, a card with nowhere near enough power to take out any of the three monsters. He frowned; if only that brat hadn't taken out his gear town field!
"I'll simply set a card in facedown defense mode along with another card," Crowler replied dejectedly making Jason smirk.
"Couldn't find a good comeback huh?" Jason sneered as he drew.
He took a single glance at his new card before he looked at the silent Decepticon.
"Soundwave, reveal the facedowns Crowler has and calculate the odds of them activating," Jason commanded coldly.
Soundwave extended two large claws from his torso making everyone shiver. They slithered over the two before impaling the cards. Soundwave's visor showed up with an image of the Ancient Gear Soldier and an image of a card with a gravesite with an ominous fog. A number appeared next to the two images; a zero next to the monster and a hundred by the odd card. Jason's right eyebrow lifted up a bit.
"Call of the Haunted and a weak monster…no doubt you planned to activate call when I attacked when your one monster was destroyed to bring back your beast stalling my weaker monster," Jason said in a chiding tone. "A move like that might work on a rookie duelist…but I'm not a rookie."
Jason looked at Soundwave and grinned as he thought up a plan.
"Flyer, attack Crowler's face down monster with your Energon blaster,"
The non-metal enhanced flyer transformed his right arm into a blaster much like before and leveled it at the facedown monster before a shot rang out and caused the card to shatter making Crowler smirk.
"Wipe that smirk off, Crowler," Jason stated bluntly making the man fume. "You forget that I have another monster…namely my Metal Enhanced Flier with his turbine! ATTACK!"
Said flyer did just that, transforming into his jet form and sending a barrage of missiles at the hapless doctor. He let out an unmanly shriek as the missiles struck him dead center. The resulting explosion made everyone cover their eyes as a large plume of dust and small chunks of the arena blew up.
When the smoke and dust had settled, there was Crowler, out cold on the ground, his disk sparking and sputtering in the center. A large wedge had struck the center of the disk in the explosion and had basically destroy the disk systems. But the large television screen showed the results plain as the day of a newborn babe.
Crowler: 0/Jason: 4000
"T-the winner is J-Jason Yuki!" Sheppard said fearfully as he looked at the young man as his arm shifted from disk to arm. As soon as the transformation was complete, Jason gave a look at the headmaster which made him gulp in terror.
"I'll meet with you in your office Sheppard so that we may finalize our agreement." Jason reported coldly as he walked off the arena.
The rest of the student body was deathly silent, the only sound was Jason echoing footsteps as he left the arena. The chancellor then cleared his throat and made another announcement.
"Students, as it is very late, the professors will gather you up and take you to your dorms. Jaden Yuki, report to the Obelisk Blue section instead of the Ra Yellow. That is all." Sheppard said before he too left the area to talk with Jason.
One by one, professors got up and called their students over. Jaden helped many of the Blue Students get Crowler up and around before they followed the lead of a teen by the name of Zane Truesdale, an upper year. As they carried their fallen headmaster out, Jaden picked up several conversations going on from the other departing students.
"Man, that Jason dude is wicked scary! Did you see the way he handed Crowler his ass!?" A Ra Yellow said with terror in his voice.
"I hear you, Yagutso. That guy is a terror!" Another Ra said with a nod of his head.
"I, like, think that Jason is such a hottie!" An Obelisk Blue female with beige hair said as she talked with some friends of hers. "The whole, Dark and Gothic look, like, brings out the color of his eyes!"
"The red or the Purple, Misty?" Another female asked.
"BOTH!" 'Misty' squealed making her friends laugh.
Jaden only shook his head; they didn't know what Jason was truly. As his twin had said so many years ago 'We're all monsters, Jay. Some of us just have a knack for hiding the monster better than others.'
He never understood what that had meant…until now.

Jason looked at the chancellor as he looked over the contract he had made prior to landing on the island. He could see that the man was looking at it with disbelief and shock, but he didn't care. He, the Decepticon leader, was holding all of the cards.
"I must say that these conditions are…questionable, Mister Yuki." Sheppard said as he laid the paper down. "Your brother's placement into Blue I understand but the rest? 'Free reign over whatever part of the island you wish', 'the DAS not interfering in wherever place you have chosen unless it present a real and dangerous threat to the students', and 'a suitcase of rare cards per month'? This is borderline Extortion!"
"I believe that the terms are quite satisfactory, Sheppard." Jason said as he leaned back in his chair. "I could readjust them to make them steeper if you wish. After all, the information I have does seem to be of higher value then what I originally thought."
"No! No, the conditions are completely alright! Just let's sign this and…" Sheppard said as he picked up a pen before Jason stopped him.
"I find contracts to be more binding if we used a different form of Ink, Chancellor." Jason said as he brought out an old fashioned feather quill.
He laid the quill on the desk before he brought his right arm up and extended a single talon. Sheppard watched confused at first but it quickly turned to horror as he saw the talon drag across the length of the boy's arm with the boy not giving a single grunt of pain.
"Mister Yuki!" Sheppard shouted in horror.
"Relax…this pain is irrelevant. Always has been and perhaps always will be." Jason said in a cold tone as he quickly brought out an inkwell and let his blood flow into it, spilling most of it onto the desk making Sheppard pale again. Once he felt that there was a significant amount inside, he pulled out some bandages, slipped them around the wound before he picked up the quill and dipped it in the inkwell. He brought the quill out and seeing the tip dyed red he then wrote his signature, the crimson name gleaming in the artificial light. He placed the bloodied quill in his jacket and came back out with a clean one. He then looked at the Chancellor and asked for the man's non-writing hand.
Sheppard put his shaking palm outward watching as Jason grabbed it with his unnatural arm.
"This will sting for a few minutes." He said before plunging the tip into the palm making the man grunt in pain.
Jason was quick to pull the tip out showing the crimson life essence covered the tip with some welling up. He then gave the quill to Sheppard.
"Sign quickly. Blood dries very fast." Jason said in monotone.
Sheppard quickly signed his name at the bottom of the contract, which Jason then took and blew on the signatures, drying them very quickly. He rolled it up and placed it in his jacket. With a shark-like grin at Sheppard which made the chancellor shake like a leaf, he spoke.
"Pleasure to do business with you, Chancellor. Have a nice day." The young ex-leader said before he departed.
All Sheppard could do was watch as the boy…no, man, walk out of his office.
GXP
All across the island fireworks shot into the air, announcing the new school year and the new students. The four dorms held their dinner; the boys and girls blue dorm was extravagate with crystal dinnerware, cheery red soda for the minors and fine wine for the adults. They ate steak and many exotic fruits from around the globe.
The Ra boys Yellow and girls dorms had a more subdued dinner then the blue dorms but they were extravagant in their own way; seafood from the Caribbean made many of the people's mouths water at the sight of them. Lobster, clam, fish, you name it the dorms had it.
Both Slifer Red boys and girls dinner was very subdued; they only had rice and a few brunt fish for their meals. They all griped about how they worked their rears off and ended in the lowest dorms. Some even went as far as to blame Jason for leaving them, but when they got done talking an icy cold shiver went up their spines for no particular reason.
Okay! That chapter is done. Quick explanation about the dorm system. In the anime it showed that there were Female duelists, but there were only to the Blue dorm…at least until the third season where Blair joins the Red Dorm. Really you guys at TV Tokyo? You put an underaged girl in a dorm full of guys? The hell's wrong with you?! Sorry, that just rubs me the wrong way every time it's brought up. So I based this off the Manga where there were both Girls AND Boys dorms for all three not just Blue.
So that's what I wanted to point out. Keep the suggestions coming and please leave a review!
