Part 1: Chasing the title of Kaiser.

Duel 03: A duel for the ages! Crow Vs Daimon!

"Now it's time for Speed Warriors special ability, during the battle phase of the turn I normal summoned my Speed Warrior, I can double his Attack until the end of the battle phase" Daimon effortlessly explained, as he watched Speed Warrior power up letting out a loud battle cry. Speed Warrior now (Level 2/1800/400)

"Now Speed Warrior, Attack Blackwing- Bora the spear! Go Sonic Edge!" and with that command Speed Warrior paced quickly towards Crow's monster.

As Speed Warrior drew close, Daimon noticed an undeniable evil grin on Crow's face. "Reverse card open! Shrink!" Crow yelled as he watched Daimon's eyes bulge out of his sockets. "As you should know, my Magic card halves the attack of a monster on the field, and now I'm using this on your Speed Warrior!" Crow watched his brown-backed card raise up revealing it's self as it shot out a yellow beam, draining half of Speed Warriors attack. Speed Warrior now (Level 2/900/400)

As the know weakened Speed Warrior was just a mere inches from Crow's Blackwing-Bora the spear, The Feathered headdress man placed his spear right into the torso of Speed Warrior, causing the grey armored warrior to let out a battle cry, as he shattered causing Daimon's life points to take a toll.

(Damion: 3200/Crow: 4000)

(Damn!) Daimon thought as he began to ready his next move. "I'll place three cards facedown, that's it for my turn." Daimon grumbled as he jammed his three cards in the appropriate slot's of his Duel-Disk.

"It'll be a cold day in hell, before you ever beat Me." insolently said Crow, as he drew a brown-backed card from his deck. "This is where it goes into overdrive, I summon Blackwing-Gale the Whirlwind (Level 3/1300/1400) in attack mode" As Crow slapped his monster on his Duel-Disk, an array of purple feathers began falling down on the field, Appearing out of the purple feathers that rained on the field, was a green headed, small purple feathered bird, with huge eyes which gave Daimon the creeps.

"Now reverse card open! I reveal Level Re-Tuner!" Crow clicked a button on his Duel-Disk, and Watched the Brow-backed card on the right of him flip up, and reveal itself. "My Trap card, Level Re-Tuner always me to downgrade one of my monster level by 2, so I choose my Blackwing-Bora the spear to loss two levels." Crow explained as he pointed his index finger at his Blue feathered head dressed man.

"Now I Tune my Level 2 Blackwing- Mistral the Silver Shield, my Level 3 Blackwing- Gale the Whirlwind, and my now level 2 Blackwing- Bora the Spear" Crow Announced. All three monsters jumped in the air, fading into a green vortex. Crow began to chant

"Darkened gales become the wings which will soar to heaven! I Synchro Summon! Blackwing- Armor Master (Level 7/2500/1500) in attack mode."

Black Feathers began to shower the entire Duel field, out of the black feathers appeared a monster completely covered in navy-blue armor, he flapped his wings, causing the field to be brushed with a gust of wind.

The wind created by Crow's monster caused Daimon to shield himself with his Duel-Disk, while his hair blew wildly with the wind.

(Oh no! it's going to be over already; I didn't even get a chance to see this boy's dragon.) Izumi sighed as she placed her chin in the palm of her hand.

"Now it's time for me to take complete control" Crow let it be known, as he prepared his Blackwing- Armor Master to launch an attack.

The attention was drawn on the Duel Field, and before long Crow yelled "Go! Blackwing- Armor Master Attack! Black Hurricane" Crow's Blackwing- Armor Master soared into the air, but before it could launch its attack, Daimon's voice broke through the ears of Crow, and his monster.

"Reverse card open! Threatening Roar! With this trap card my opponent can not declare an attack this turn, so I'm safe for another turn" Daimon ecstatically stated, as he watched Blackwing- Armor Master return to the side of Crow, who now by the way had a pretty pissed expression on his face.

A few moments went by as the boys stared at each other; Crow had an infuriated look on his face, while Daimon had a joyful smirk on his face.

As a few more seconds went by, Daimon drew a card from his deck and announced "Since you're not moving I guess I'll take my turn." Daemon examined his hand for a few moments before he planned out his next move.

"Now I summon my Tuner monster Junk Synchron (Warrior/Tuner/Level 3/1300/500) in attack mode" Daimon slapped his monster on his Duel-Disk, a flash of golden light appeared, and springing from this light was Junk Synchron.

"Now for my monsters special ability, when Junk Synchron is normal summoned, I get to bring back 1 level 2 or lower monster from my graveyard in defense mode, so come on back Speed warrior." In a flash of blue light, Speed Warrior showed him self on the field, letting out a loud battle cry.

"Now I activate my Magic card! Forceful Retreat! This card allows me to give up 1000 of my life points in order to return any number of set cards on my opponent's field." Daimon explained, as he watched Crow return his set cards to his hand.

(What the hell is this kid planning?..) Crow puzzled his mind, His eyebrow rose, as he tried to figure out what exactly Daimon was trying to do.

Before Daimon went on with his turn, he watched his life points decrease do to the effect of his Forceful Retreat card.

(Daimon: 3000/Crow: 4000)

(Daimon never fails to surprise me…) Yusei thought, as he sat up in the stands with his arms crossed, watching his Osiris red roommate do battle.

"It's time to go Synchro! I Tune my level 3 Junk Synchron to My Level 2 Speed warrior!" Daimon made Known. His monsters jumped into the air, vanishing into a green vortex.

"Clustering stars will call upon a new hope! Become the path that light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Show yourself! My Duel Partner! Junk Warrior (Warrior/Level Five/2300/1300)!"

A blue-armored warrior flew out of the vortex, his red eyes shining. It performed a series of spins before landing at Daimon's side, pumping its large metal fist at Crow.

(Daimon-Sama played that awesome card again!..) Rua thought, as he held on to the side of the Duel Field, as he watched the on-going duel.

"Your Scrap heap of a warrior isn't strong enough to take down my Blackwing- Armor master" Crow stated, as he began to snicker at the sight of Junk Warrior.

"Just wait because now I reveal my reverse card! Synchro Strike! This trap card allows my targeted Synchro summoned monster gains 500 attack for each Synchro material monster used to summon it, until the end phase." Daimon explained, as he enlightened Crow on the effect of his Synchro Strike card.

A red aura surrounded Junk Warrior, as he held his fist in the air and his attack power increased by 1000 points. Junk Warrior now (Warrior/Level Five/3300/1300)

"What! How can this be?" Crow questioned, as his veins where no pulsing out of his forehead, as his eyes bulged from his sockets.

"That's not the end of it, Reverse card open!" Daimon yelled, as he clicked a button on his Duel-Disk, and watched his last brown-backed card flip up. "I activate my Trap card, Scrap Fist! This card allows me to give up any amount of my life points, in order to increase the attack of my Junk Warrior, so I'm going to increase Junk Warrior's attack by 1500" Daimon yelled, as he lost 1500 of his life points, and watch a red aura surround Junk Warrior as its attack went up another notch. Junk Warrior now (Warrior/Level Five/4800/1300)

(Daimon: 1500/Crow: 4000)

"What! This can't be, in a single turn his monsters attack points went up to 4800!" Crow stuttered, as he watched horrified of the events that took place on Daimon's turn.

With a grin appearing all over Daimon's face, he yelled "Now take this, Junk Warrior attack! Go Scrap Fist!" And with that command Junk Warrior leaped in the air, then quickly soared straight towards Crows Blackwing- Armor Master.

Junk Warrior planted a devastating right fist in the face of Blackwing- Armor Master, causing it to shatter, and its master to lose heavy life points.

(Daimon: 1500/Crow: 1700)

(This can't be happening! That kid just whipped almost half of Crow's life points away in just one shot!..) Thought a boy with Jet black hair that juts in backward and down directions, He wore standard Ra yellow outfit, with white pants, and a deck box attached to his belt loop. This boy jumped out of his seat, gaining attention from his fellow Ra dorm mates, as he watched shock at what just went down in the duel field.

(Who….Who the hell is this kid?..) Crow thought as he gasped for air, trying to cope with the situation that transpired.

"I'll place my last two cards facedown, and turn it over to you" Two brown-backed cards shimmered into existence in front of Daimon.

Fearing that his rain as the elite duelist of Duel Academia was coming to an end, Crow speedily drew a card from his deck, as he began to think (If I don't finish this guy soon I'm toast!...)

Crow instantly took a glance at the card he had drawn from his deck, he began to snicker a little before screaming out "I activate my Magic card! Synchro's Will! See this card allows me to remove one Synchro monster from my graveyard, in order to draw until I have six cards in my hand." Crow quickly drew from his deck until his hand was full with six cards.

"I summon my Blackwing- Foehn the steel chain (Level 2/500/800) in attack mode!" Crow watched, as his black-winged, ninja clothing, wearing monster appeared on the field, and began soaring around Crow.

"I don't think that cards going to put up a fight against my Junk Warrior" Daimon laughed, holding his torso trying not to let the laughter get out of control.

"Don't start laughing yet, because now I special summon, my Blackwing- Elfen of the pitch black (LV6/ ATK/2200 DEF/1200) in attack mode." A black portal appeared just before Crow, and flying from out of the black portal, was a Winged, fox looking creature, which let out a loud battle cry, as it soared around its master.

Daimon's jaw literarily drooped to the ground, before saying "Hey that monsters a Level 6, you didn't even release a monster to summon it." Daimon stated the obvious.

"Well dropout boy, when there's another monster on my field with Blackwing in it's name, I can normal summon my Blackwing- Elfen of the pitch black without any release, and to add insult to injury, I can switch the battle positions of one monster you control, so now I switch Junk Warrior to defense mode." Crow explained, with a sinister look on his face, as he watched Junk Warrior kneel on its knees, and turn ocean-blue.

(Oh no! he's going to wipe out my Junk Warrior…) Daimon looked, fearfully, at his Junk Warrior, as he began to realize what was about to take place.

As Crow quickly jammed a card in the Magic/Trap slot of his Duel-Disk, he announced "I equip my Magic card, Fairy Meteor Crush To my Blackwing- Elfen of the pitch black!"

(This is real bad, if Daimon doesn't do something quick, he may lose the duel!...) Yusei thought, as he clinged to the edge of his seat, with his heart racing.

Crow immediately commanded his monster to attack Daimon's Junk Warrior, Crow's exact words where "Go Blackwing- Elfen of the pitch black! Attack! Pitch Black Fang" and with it's masters command, Blackwing- Elfen of the pitch black soared towards Junk Warrior, and bit him right on the neck.

Daimon covered his face with his Duel-Disk, as he watched Junk Warrior shatter into dust.

(Daimon: 600/Crow: 1700)

"I'm not done yet, Blackwing- Foehn the steel chain attack! Blackwing Assult!" Crow's Blackwing- Foehn the steel chain went flying straight into the torso of Damion causing him to fall down, and slide a few feet. "And now, my turn's down."

(Daimon: 100/ Crow: 1700)

(In just one move, Crow almost wiped out that new guy's life points, he just might be the one to defeat Jack, and become the new Kaiser!) Izumi deeply thought, as she stared at Daimon, who still didn't get up from the last attack.

Several moments later, Daimon struggled to get back to his feet, as he succeeds on standing up straight; he felt a burning sensation on his right arm.

(This feeling it's happening again!) Daimon thought, as he rolled up his Osiris red sleeve, he noticed a crimson colored head of a dragon, glowing on his right arm.

---American Academia—

The sun shined on the American seas, causing a beautiful reflection of the sun off of the water.

(Something's going on at the Academia...) Thought a boy, wearing a white Obilisk blue uniform, the boy had violet eyes and spiked blonde hair. It seemed he had hair extension in the front which where wrapped in violet bands. He also wore a belt buckle and earrings with the shape of the letter A on them.

The spiked blonde hair boy stared at his right arm, which now had crimson colored pair of dragon wings on it. He raised his head, and looked across the endless looking sea.

------

Izumi, Yusei, and Ruka arms also began to glow with these crimson red symbols. On Izumi's arm there was a glowing red mark of a front dragon claw, Yusei's arm contained a red glowing tail dragon mark on his arm, and lastly Ruka had a glowing mark of a back dragon claw on her right arm.

Back down on the Dueling field, Daimon began to experience a weird feeling. Everything seemed to move in slow motion in Daimon's mind, he watched as Crow slowly laughed, and the Obilisk blue students behind him cheering. Daimon could hear nothing that was going on, but he soon heard this weird, yet familiar sound.

Daimon began hearing a loud; Heart beating sound, which he knew for sure wasn't his. As he reached to draw a card from his deck, the beating heart sound grew louder, and louder, the closer his hand got to the card on the top of his deck.

As Daimon slowly drew the card from his deck, the heart beating noise instantly went away, causing everything to return to normal, and his eyes lit up with surprise.
