Duel 05: Burning Flame! The Kaiser returns.

"So if it isn't Hideo Daimon, How do you do?" Sarcastically asked the Black haired Ra yellow student, as he jammed his deck in his Duel-Disk, causing the Duel-Disk to automatically shuffle his deck and activate.

"Man I love this school, it's nothing but none stop dueling" Daimon stated, as he activated his Duel-Disk in the same manner as the Ra yellow boy in front of him.

"I Kazuo Ichiro will be the one to take out Hideo Daimon!" Ichiro yelled, as he placed his hands high in the sky.

"Too bad you're not going to be able to take on Daimon, because now you have to duel me" Yusei announced, as he activated his Duel-Disk and stepped in front of Daimon. "Don't worry Daimon I'll take care of this, besides I want a shot at your new found title." Yusei Said, as he took his dueling stance.

"Fine, this is more then I bargained for, but if I thrash you and Daimon on the same day I'd be one step closer to the Kaiser title" Ichiro screamed , as he had a quick hallucination of himself in a Obelisk blue uniform, with all of the Obelisk blue girl's surrounding him.

"Well go for it Yusei" Daimon stuck out his thumb in agreement of Yusei's decision.

After a small number of seconds flew by, both Duelist yelled out, "DUEL!" and the match began.

(Yusei: 4000/Ichiro: 4000)

"My turn, I draw" and with that, Yusei drew his sixth card from his deck. "Now I summon Fortress Warrior (Earth/Warrior/2/600/1200) in defense mode." Yusei slapped his monster card on his Duel-Disk and watched it appear. A blue portal appeared, and jumping from out of the portal was a four armed rock warrior, welding a helicopter landing pad as a shield.

"I'll set one card facedown, and end my turn" instantly a brown-backed card shimmered on the field in front of Yusei's feet.

"My move, I draw" Ichiro Stated, as he swiftly drew his sixth card from his deck. As Ichiro took a quick glance at the card he drew he sinisterly thought, (I'm going to give this kid a flame he has never felt before….)

"Now I summon Solar Flare Dragon (Level 4/15001000) in attack mode." Ichiro said, as he slapped his card on his Duel-Disk and watched his monster appear before him. Rising from the flames before Ichiro, was a dragon covered in flaming, molten rocks.

"Now I'm going to activate my Magic card, Meteor of Destruction." Stated Ichiro, as he jammed his card in the appropriate slot of His Duel-Disk, and watched his card shimmer before his eyes. "You see my Meteor of Destruction allows me to deal 1000 of damage to your life points." Ichiro explained, as a giant ball of fire sprung from his card, and smacked Yusei right in his face causing his life points to slightly decrease.

(Yusei: 3000/ Ichiro: 4000)

(So he's running a fire deck huh? Well it's nothing I can't handle...) Thought Yusei, as a menacing grin appeared on his face, as he rubbed his left cheek.

As Ichiro slipped two brown back cards in his Duel-Disk he announced "I'll set two card's face down and past the turn to you, oh and did I forget to mention that due to my Solar Flare Dragon effect you lose 500 life points each time I end my turn." Yusei's life points yet again took a minor toll.

(Yusei: 2500/ Ichiro: 4000)

Yusei proceeded with his turn as he stated, "my turn, I draw!" and with those words, Yusei placed a card in his hand, and took several moments to examine each card he was holding.

(Damn! I got to get rid of this guy quick, or he'll just burn through my life points...) Yusei now began to panic a little, as he stared at Ichiro's flaming dragon.

"Alright, now I discard one monster card from my hand in order to special summon, Quick Synchron (Machine/Tuner/Level 5/700/1400) in attack mode." Yelled Yusei, as he placed his monster card on the appropriate section of his Duel-Disk, and watched a blue vortex appear before him. Jumping from out of the blue vortex, was a small, machine looking monster wearing a cowboy's outfit, wielding a small gun.

"Hey, that's a monster from the Synchron series; I didn't know they had that card." Daimon said, with his mind puzzled from the monster that just appeared on the field.

"Now I activate my Quick Synchron special ability, see my Quick Synchron can have his name treated as any Synchron tuner monster, so now I'll have it's name treated as Junk Synchron, and now I Tune my level 5 Quick Synchron with my Level 2 Fortress Warrior." Yusei Screamed, as he watched his monster's jump into a green vortex.

"The clustering forces will split into a silver arrow! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Come, Junk Archer (Level 7/2300/2000"

Yusei chanted, as a white ray of light engulfed the field blinding Daimon and company. As the light dimmed down, the gang noticed a monster covered in orange armor wielding a blue bow in his hands.

"What! No way there's another card that uses Junk Synchron as a tuner besides Junk Warrior?" Daimon asked, particular to no one, as his eyes widened with surprise.

"Now I activate…." Was all Yusei could say before being cut off by a loud voice ringing through the entire island.

"This is the Principle speaking, all students please report to the auditorium immediately" Was all every student all over the island could hear, as they immediately dropped everything they where doing and headed straight towards the auditorium inside the Academia.

"Damn looks like we won't be finishing this duel." Ichiro furiously stated, as he placed his deck in his deck box, and walked off heading towards the Academia.

"This sucks, I wanted to see that Junk Archer in action" Daemon pouted, as he too made his way towards the Academia along with the others.

A/N: (Laughs evilly) didn't want to give up Ichiro's and Yusei's duel that early.

-------

The auditorium seats where full with Osiris red, Obelisk blue, and Ra yellow students talking amongst themselves, wondering why everyone was called here. After moments of waiting, the students noticed two men walking in. one of those two men where assistant principal Jegar and the other man was a tall man with blonde hair sectioned into two layers, with the layer furthest from his face tightly-bound in a ponytail. He wore a standard obelisk blue uniform, complete with gold trimmings and ruffled oink collar, shoulders, upper chest and sleeves.

The blonde haired man took center stage, as he began to make his announcement, "Welcome all students, today we have a special surprise in store for you today" the tall blonde haired man announced, as he spoke into the microphone gaining every one undivided attention.

"Man I can't get over how weird principal Cronos look's" Daimon joked, as he broke into a loud laughter, causing all the students to send death glare's towards him.

"Now please everyone give a round of applause for Duel Academia's own, Jack Atlus!" Cronos screamed, causing the students to do the same, as they watched Jack enter the arena followed by three other people.

"Jack, Jack!" the students screamed, as Jack made his way to the stage where principal Cronos stood.

"Hey who are those guy's following Jack; I never seen them before" Daimon asked, as he turned to Izumi looking for an answer.

"Well those are the top students from the American Duel Academia, rumors say those three have never been defeated" Out of no where, Ichiro's head appeared beside Daimon, as he answered Daimon's question, causing Daimon to be startled, making him fall from out of his seat.

"What the heck are you doing here?" Daimon still startled asked, as he slowly made his way back to his seat.

"Well I just wanted to apologize for how I acted earlier towards you guy's" Ichiro replied, giving a child like smile to the gang causing a single line of sweat to drop down there face.

"To all students in every classification, both I and Jack have come up with an idea for the students of Duel Academia. Since you all know it's almost that time for graduation for all third year students, and Jack still doesn't have any one to take him on in his upcoming graduation duel. So we have decided to host a tournament for all students to join in the hopes of getting a shot to duel the Kaiser for his graduation match." Cronos explained, catching the ears of every single student in the arena.

"These are the rules for this tournament, to qualify for the finals of this tournament; you have to win at least 10 duels without receiving a lost by any opponent. These duels in the preliminary round can take place any where around the island, because once you have achieved 10 wins our system will automatically let us know and you'll be a step closer to dueling Jack for his graduation." Cronos enlightened the students, as they sat on the edge of there seats, excited from the news they just heard.

Still having more rules to explain Cronos announced, "Also we have been giving the golden opportunity for the top students from the American branch of Duel Academia to study with us for one full year. Seeing that these students are now apart of this Duel Academia, these students are also apart of this tournament if any one could defeat them they will automatically have a spot in the finals." This news caused the crowd to go wild as everyone placed there Duel-Disk on there arms, waiting to get there hands on the American students.

"I can tell you're all ecstatic about the news, so without any further ado, I declare this moment as the first moment of this tournament!" Principal Cronos yelled, and with those words the tournament officially was under way.

(This is sweet, if I win this thing I can play Jack in his graduation duel…) Daimon thought; making a fist, as his body was full with excitement.

-------

(This sucks major balls, I only got three wins so far, because everyone's so scared to duel me ever since I beat Crow no one's been willing to duel me. Man if I would've known beating Crow would have made everyone afraid to duel me I would've just quit the duel…) Daimon sadly thought, as he walked through the forest with his hands behind his head looking up at the sky.

------

"You two know your objective don't you?" A mysterious man asked, wearing a black hood, sitting in a throne like chair staring at the man and woman who kneeled before him.

"Yes lord Rudger, we know our mission" The red vest wearing boy replied, as he lifted his head reveling his pitch black eye socket, with his purple pupils.

"My lord what will we do about Joseph from the Momentum Investigation group?" The blonde haired girl questioned, as she to reveled her mysterious looking eyes.

"Don't worry about him, in due time he will be dealt with, in the mean time equip this boy with a worthy deck to help revel the signers." The mysterious man pointed to a door, and walking from out of the door was Ichiro, whose eyes now looked lifeless and dull.

-----

(Daimon, you better make it to the finals so I could get my revenge…) Crow thought to himself, as he stood on the edge of a cliff with his arms crossed.
