Chapter 2: New Friends, New Rivals
So I find myself on a plane to the university. I sit by myself because I'm usually a loner in this world, also because of the fact that I have a dark past that I need to think about. Anyway, we soon land on the island with the university. I started making my way to my room, which was room 274. I walked into it and saw 3 other guys in it.
"Hey guys! We have company!" I see they were discussing more duel monsters. "Hi, I'm Johnny Apocalypse. These are Django Kurosawa and Kazuya Zetsuga."
"Hi guys…………. Django?!" I had that surprised look in my eyes.
"Shadow? Hey bro!" I haven't seen my brother for a while now. He's a really talented duelist and apparently also enrolled here.
"So this is your brother Django?" Kazuya couldn't figure out the resemblance between us though.
"Yeah. Haven't seen him since like forever. We were like best friends. We hardly ever argued!"
"So Shadow, I hear you have a Dragon deck." Johnny and them apparently watched my match.
"Yes I do. Say, how about 1 of you guys agrees to duel me today?"
"I will." Kazuya was game. Today is the day off to settle in, so I'll take you on." So after we got settled in, we make our way outside to duel. I was expecting a fun match?
"Ready Kazuya?"
"Oh yeah. I'll start! I play the field spell Pandemonium!" He played a field that looked like a fiendish sanctuary. "Now I lose no life points with Archfiends effects. Also when they're destroyed outside of battle I can place another Archfiend card from my deck to my hand! Now I play my Pigeonholing Books of Spell! I take the top 3 cards of my deck, look at them and place them back in any order I wish. All right. Time to play Archfiend's Oath! Each of my main phases, I can pay 500 life points to look and guess my top card. If I'm right I can put it in my hand! And since I played my books of spell card, I already know what I'm going to have. Now I guess Infernalqueen Archfiend!"

"Now I'll summon her!" A fiendish being with 900 attack points appeared. "Now she can increase an Archfiends attack points by 1000 during each of our standby phases. I'll play a facedown and call it a turn.
"Hmm. I play Troop Dragon in def mode! And I'll throw down a facedown. I end"
"First my queen gains 100 attack points." She now has 1900. "Now I'll summon my Terrorking Archfiend in attack mode!" Now he has a fiendish looking king with 2000 attack points. "Now my queen attacks!"
"With my dragon's ability, another 1 joins the fight."
"Terrorking, attack with Locust Storm Barrage!" His fiend shot out a bunch of locust out of his chest.
"Now I get another Troop Dragon!"
"Alright. I'll end with a facedown, and with your turn, I choose Terrorking Archfiend for my queen's ability." He has 3000.
"Now I'll activate Polymerization to fuse Warrior Dai Grepher with Spirit Ryu to make my Ryu Senshi!" I summoned a dragon-armored warrior with a double-sided beam sword and 2500 attack points. "Now I play my Dragonic Attack! My Ryu Senshi turns into a dragon type and gains 500 attack points!" He now has 2500 attack points. "Now attack his queen!"
"I activate Covering Fire! Now she gains attack points equal to the attack points of 1 other monster I have out! So Terrorking Archfiend gives his 3000 to her, giving her 3900!"
"Dang! I activate Hollowed Life Barrier! I toss a card to the graveyard to take no damage this turn. I end it at that."
"I sacrifice my Infernalqueen Archfiend to summon the Skull Archfiend of Lightning!" He now has a winged skeletal fiend with 2500 attack points. "I also play Malevolent Nuzzler on Skull Archfiend." He now has 3200 since his spell gives him 700 extra attack points. "Terrorking, attack! Locust Storm Barrage!" My last Troop Dragon was gone. "Skull Archfiend, destroy his senshi!"

"I play Card of Sanctity! We draw until we have 6 cards. Go."
"I hope this works. I play Heavy Storm to destroy all spell and trap cards on the field! Now I play Cost Down! I toss a card and all monsters in my hand for this turn lose 2 stars, so now I can play my White-Horned Dragon! Now I'll remove 4 of your spell cards from play to give him 1200 extra points for a total of 3400 attack points! Now I play Twin Swords of Flashing Light! He loses 500 points, but can attack twice this turn! So now he has 2800 attack points. Now I play Fissure on you Terrorking! Now my dragon, attack his Skull Archfiend!"
S-3300

"Now attack him directly!"

"I'm
not through yet!"
"Yes you are. I play my Dragon's Gunfire! Now you lose 800 life points since I have a dragon-type monster
out."

"Whoa. You're better than what all of us saw back at the test."
"Thanks, you're pretty good yourself, but now I'm tuckered out."
"Me to, it's getting late anyway."
"Before bed, here, take this card."
"Whoa,
seriously?"
"Yep. Besides, you can make better use of it than
me."
"Thanks." So I gave him the card and we head for bed.
