Hey there, Yugioh GX fans. This chapter takes place six years later when Jaden is fifteen years old. Now of course he still has the honey golden eyes and he is wearing the armor he wears in season three of GX. Anyway on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh GX nor anything related to it.
Claimer: I do own this plot and storyline.
The sky was cloudy as a boy in a black armor with a red cape walked along the path leading to Kaiba Corporation.
Never thought I would ever come back here after what my parents did. Jaden thought to himself.
He didn't try to stop the memories from surfacing.
(Flashback)
It was six months after Yubel was launched into space. He dropped to the ground and looked up at a monster that looked a lot like the Elemental Thunder Giant but its colors were not the yellow and purple people had come to know him by. Its colors were red and a darker shade of yellow.
"Now you know what to do after I'm on the sidewalk correct?" he asked the monster spirit.
Of course, my lord. The spirit replied in a menacing tone.
"Good. Lightning Golem, don't fail in your mission or I will kill you." Jaden said coldly his gold eyes flashing.
The new hero monster looked at the young boy with understanding in his eyes. Jaden turned around and began walking to the front gate. As he opened it, he heard his parents talking.
"I don't like it, Brian. Jay hasn't said a word to us for six months. I knew we shouldn't have sent that card into space! Jaden now hates us." He heard his mother say in a low whisper.
"Barbara, if we had kept that card it would have killed more kids. Its better this way." Brian said.
"BETTER?!?!? Brian, he doesn't have any friends. He isolated himself from the school kids, us and the rest of the world. And you say it's…" But in the middle of that sentence, a massive explosion ripped through the entire house. All of it took just three seconds but to Jaden it felt like an eternity. Then he turned around and walked up the sidewalk to his hide away.
(End Flashback)
Jaden smiled a grim smile as he recalled the incident he had planned out. Yubel was still in contact with him as she traveled the universe. The cosmic rays hurt her but gave her powers beyond belief. His training had allowed him to summon a dual spirit to the human world and it had caused the explosion that mortally wounded his parents. They hadn't gotten out of the hospital beds that they've been in for six years.
As he approached the registration table for Dual Academy, he glanced down at the special storage case that he had design for Yubel. The arm inside the case wriggled one of its fingers feebly as he looked at it. He felt his heart become heavy as he looked at the once proud dual spirit and knew that the dual energies from the many dualists on the island would restore his love, but she would need a host in order for that to happen.
"Excuse me, sir? But I'm afraid that you must lift up your faceplate so that we can have a positive identification." One of the aides at the table said.
He was brought back down to earth at the voice of the female aide and realized that he had reached the register table. He lifted his faceplate to reveal his face underneath.
He heard a small gasp from the aide but she quickly brought out a scanner and ran it over his golden eyes. The computer beeped, hummed and then spat out a piece of paper.
"Ah. I see that you are Mr. Jaden Yuki. I notice that you paid the fee to be accepted into Obelisk Blue three weeks in advance. I still need you to take the test I'm afraid." The aide babbled as she handed him a piece of paper.
Jaden sighed in displeasure but took the sheet and sat down on one of the benches. Lowering his faceplate, he went to work.
An hour later, he was standing in a large room that had been converted into small separate arenas. He noticed a boy with black hair dueling a test professor.
"Alright, tough guy, pop quiz. You are staring down at two monsters that have more defense points than your monster. What will you do? A) Throw in the towel, B) Curl up into a fetal position, or C) Run home to mommy?" the proctor asked with a smug tone.
The black haired boy seemed to think before he said anything.
"I chose D) none of the above!" he shouted as he revealed his facedown which was a Ring of Destruction.
It wrapped itself around a monster of high attack power and exploded. The proctor's life points, which were low already, fell swiftly to zero.
"Ugh. Congratulations. You've been accepted into Dual Academy." The proctor said.
"Thank you." The black haired boy replied.
"Man, Misawa is good." A voice said. A few other voices agreed as a chorus.
A boy with raven colored hair spoke up in a snotty way.
"Yeah, well, we went to prep school for three years. So we're even better than this guy."
The boy turned to Jaden and noticed his outfit.
"Heh. Look, you guys. Somebody's dressed for a costume party." The boy said in an arrogant tone.
The remark got a few snickers from some boys around him. Jaden uncrossed his arms and looked at the boy, who had turned back around to see the next match.
Inferno Wing…Jaden thought.
Consider it done, my lord. Came a reply from his left.
"Hey, dualist wannabe." Jaden called out to the boy.
The reaction was immediate. The boy whipped around and glared at Jaden.
"What did you call me?" The boy asked.
"I said, 'Hey, dualist wannabe'. What? Don't tell me that you're an old man in disguise as well." Jaden retorted calmly.
The insult got the other boys laughing. The raven haired boy face got beet red in anger.
"Alright…" he never got to finish the sentence as blue fire covered him from head to toe.
"AHHHHHHHHH! IT BURNS! IT BURNS!" the boy shrieked as he rolled in the aisles.
Doctors and nurses rushed out to where he was and were able to put the fire out but not before the boy got major burns. They rushed him to a first aid station while everybody looked on in shock.
"Poor Chazz." Someone whispered.
A few kids nodded, took a quick glance at Jaden and backed away. He then heard a voice over the PA.
"Mr. Jaden Yuki. Report to dual field one please." The voice said.
Game time. He thought.
~Underneath Arena~
As he rode the elevator to the arena, he touched the case that contain the piece of Yubel. He began to reminisce the day that Yubel came home from her journey to the stars.
(Flashback)
Jaden was eating some food that he had hoarded from six months ago when he heard a voice.
Jaden! Jaden! Help me! The voice cried.
"Yubel? Is that you?" Jaden asked hope and joy flooding him for a few seconds before he squashed them down.
No, it's Mai Valentine. Of course it's me! I need your help! Yubel retorted.
Jaden noticed that Yubel's voice was weak and in pain. "Yubel, where are you? You sound like you're in pain!" Jaden asked worriedly.
I'm at your house. I just landed on the foundation. What happen here? It looks like an explosion ripped through here. Yubel said stating the obvious.
"No duh. I dealt with my parents. They're in a hospital with severe burns. Yubel, I infused the power of darkness to a new deck of mine and it created these new cards called 'Evil Heroes'. I called upon one of them and he created an explosion by mixing his electricity with a gas leak I created." Jaden said as he broke into a slow run toward his old home.
Jaden, my love. I didn't think you could be capable of doing anything like that on your own. I glad that your training has come a long way. Yubel gushed.
"Save the mushy stuff for later. Hold on, I made it." Jaden said looking down at the bottom of a crater.
At the bottom of the crater, he saw an arm crawling its way up to the top.
"Yubel." Jaden whispered. "What happen to you?"
Jaden. Sweet, sweet Jaden. I used up most of my newfound power and burned most of my body so that I could enter the atmosphere safely. Yubel replied sadly.
She then explained to Jaden how the cosmic rays increased her power tenfold. But a micro meteor had hit the satellite and created a small tear in the hull which she used to escape from. Jaden gently picked up the arm of Yubel and cradle it close to his chest.
"Is there any way to get you back to your former glory?" He asked, his eyes returning to their chocolate brown color for a brief second before returning to their golden state.
Yes, there is a way. Yubel said. It is called 'Dual energy'.
(End Flashback)
Well, Yubel. You're about your first injection of dual energy earlier than I expected. Jaden thought to himself.
He saw his opponent and was eager to start.
"Ah. You must be the boy called Jaden Yucky." A tall woman said.
"It's Yuki. And yes, ma'am, you are correct." Jaden replied coldly.
"I beg your pardon! I'm not a woman but a man." The tall woman or man shrieked.
Jaden looked closely at the person and noticed that she was indeed a he.
"Hmmm. You're right. A mistake on your fashion statement, I'm afraid." Jaden replied his voice replaced with a harsh tone.
"Quite alright. Now for me to introduce myself. I am Doctor Vellian Crowler, a member of the Dual Academy Board." He said in a prideful tone.
"I don't care who you are, as long as you can dual." Jaden snapped in an annoyed tone.
This made Dr. Crowler look at the boy in shock.
Well, he is eager to get in. After all with that score he got on the written exam, he's a shoe-in for Obelisk Blue dorm. Vellian thought to himself.
"Alright then. Let's begin. Dual coat on!" Dr. Crowler shouted.
His dual disk came on and five cards slid out of the slot. Jaden raised his Dual disk and everyone in the stands gasped, shouted, or screamed at the sight of it. The dual disk had an eye in the middle and the monster zones were wrapped around like in a circle. The zones then started to spin around and then they snapped into place. The sudden release of the zones caused a hurricane force wind to erupt around him.
"Get your game on!" Jaden roared.
Vellian: 4000/Jaden: 4000
"Teachers before students." Jaden said his voice becoming cold and harsh.
"Thank you. At least you have some manners." Crowler said as a card slid out of his deck. He looked at it and added it to his hand.
"I'll play the spell card Confiscation. By giving up a thousand life points I can chose one card in your hand." Crowler said with a small grin.
Vellian: 3000/Jaden: 4000
As holograms of Jaden's cards appeared in front of him, Crowler came up with a strategy in his head.
"Alright, I discard your Monster Reborn." The card was shown to everyone and then it disappeared in a flash of light.
"Next I'll lay down two cards and then I activate my spell card Heavy Storm. This card destroys all spell and trap cards on the field." Crowler continued.
A strong wind blew across the arena and the two cards Crowler had placed face down shattered. But two monsters came out onto the field when the cards vanished.
"You laid down the Statue of the Wicked trap cards. That means that you gain a Wicked Statue token for each one destroyed which can only mean one thing. You have a level eight monster in your hand." Jaden said his voice still harsh and cold.
"Correct, Mr. Yuki. You catch on quick. It's true that I have a level eight monster in my hand and I sacrifice my two tokens to summon my Ancient Gear Golem (ATK: 3000 DEF: 3000) in attack mode!" Dr. Crowler yelled.
A machine that was all gears rose up from the earth and assumed a fighting stance.
"I end my turn." Crowler said with a smile.
"It's my turn. I draw!" Jaden shouted without any hint of emotions.
He looked at his drawn card and chuckled to himself.
Perfect, just the card I needed to win this dual. Jaden thought.
"I play the spell card called Dark Fusion." Jaden hissed.
"Dark what? I never heard of that card." Vellian said perplexed.
"That's because this card is one of a kind. It allows me to fuse two monsters together like Polymerization but the fusion card must be a fiend type monster." Jaden explained.
"And I'll fuse Elemental Hero Sparkman and Elemental Hero Clayman to form…Evil Hero Lightning Golem (ATK: 2400 DEF: 1500) in attack mode!"
A monster that looked like Elemental Thunder Giant arose with flashes of lighting around it.
"Whoa!" A kid in the stands shouted.
"No way! How can he do that?!?!?!" Another kid shouted.
"Hold everything! Mr. Yuki, can you please explain how two good guys can merge and form a bad guy?" Crowler inquired.
Jaden sighed in frustration and carefully explained everything to them.
Meanwhile, two figures looked down from the balcony of the dual arena.
"He doesn't stand a chance does he, Zane? I mean look at his monster's attack stats. The monster six hundred less attack points then the Ancient Gear Golem." A dirty blonde haired girl said to a dark blue haired boy.
"Hmmm. You never know, Alexis. There may be more to this 'Evil Hero' then meets the eye. It could have a powerful effect. Why else would the kid play it?" Zane Truesdale said.
"You may be right, Zane. But I still think he doesn't stand a chance." Alexis Rhodes said.
Back down on the arena floor, Jaden was finishing up with the talk when he noticed a boy and girl at the balcony talking.
Malicious Edge, what are those two up on the balcony saying? Jaden asked his thought being answered at once.
They are talking about Lightning Golem and how he doesn't match up to the pitiful Ancient Gear Golem. A monster, that looked similar to the Elemental Hero Bladedge but the monster wore straps that crossed over in an X when they came to his chest, replied.
Who is the girl? She is the perfect host for Yubel. Jaden inquired.
Her name is Alexis Rhodes and the boy next to her is Zane Truesdale. The evil hero replied.
"Excuse me, Mr. Yuki? But what are you staring at?" asked Dr. Crowler.
The question made Jaden turn back around to him.
"I'm just trying to see why everyone has doubts that my Lightning Golem can't win against your scrap heap of a monster." Jaden sneered angrily.
"It's simple. My Golem's attack power has three thousand attack points while yours has two thousand four hundred. It just simple math." Crowler replied shrugging his shoulders.
"But you left something out, good doctor." Jaden said in an eerie tone.
"Oh? What did I forget?" The doctor asked.
"My monster's special ability. Once per turn, I can destroy a monster on the field." Jaden replied the harsh tone returning in his voice.
"How? Don't you have to discard a card and it has to be equal to or less than the original attack of Thunder Giant?" A light blue haired boy with glasses asked.
Jaden whipped his head toward the voice.
"WHO CALLED HIM THUNDER GIANT? SPEAK NOW AND I MAY SHOW MERCY TO YOU LATER ON!" Jaden bellowed.
The bellow along with the sudden outburst caused everyone in the stands to jerk back in fear.
No one spoke for a few seconds.
Jaden then turned to Lightning Golem and hissed, "Lightning Golem, I activate your special effect. Destroy that hunk of junk."
Lightning Golem nodded and pointed one of his clawed hands at the ancient machine. Streaks of lighting jumped from his hand and hit the machine dead on. The electricity leapt around the metal frame until an explosion belched from the chest of the monster.
The rest of the machine soon collapsed after the explosion.
"My golem!" Crowler screeched.
"And seeing as it is still my main phase, I summon Evil Hero Infernal Gainer (ATK: 1600 DEF: 800) to the field in attack mode." Jaden said harshly.
A monster that looked like a skeleton arose from a dark portal and took a position next to Lightning Golem.
"Simple math problem. My Golem has 2400 attack points and my Gainer has 1600. Add them together and you get 4000 points of damage, more than enough to take you out. Lightning Golem, Infernal Gainer, double direct attack on the doctor's life points!" Jaden yelled.
The two monsters combined their attacks, Lightning Golem's electricity and Infernal Gainer's claws, and launched it at Crowler.
Such great strategy! No wonder this boy paid to be in Obelisk Blue dorm. But this is going to hurt! Crowler thought.
The twin attacks hit their mark and Crowler fell to one knee.
Vellian: 0/Jaden: 4000
"That's game." Jaden said his arm lowering to his side.
A bright orange color only he could see rose from Dr. Crowler and flew to the case which he had placed near the elevator.
"Yubel? Can you hear me?" Jaden whispered to the case.
Jaden. I feel much better now thanks to you, love. Yubel replied even though there was a hint of pain.
"Good. Because I wanted to tell you. I found a host for you; her name is Alexis Rhodes and I'm sure that she is perfect for you." Jaden said relief flooding him for a moment.
That is good. But I will need about six more bursts of dual energy before I can inhabit her. Yubel replied.
"Don't worry, Yubel. You will return to your former glory, that is a promise." Jaden said softly.
Alexis Rhodes looked down at the boy in black armor and muttered under her breath, "That guy has got a future here, huh Zane?"
"Yeah, it appears he does have a future at the Academy." Zane replied. Zane turned around and began to walk to the exit sign as the entire stands cheered.
