Hey there! Hope you guys like the story so far! In this chapter I skip the dual exam because Chazz isn't there. Also a criminal comes onto the island with an evil plot in his mind. Please review when you're done reading this chapter! Thanks! Disclaimer: I don't own GX or anything related to it. Claimer: I do own the plot and story idea as well as the OC Jess Hernandez.
The waves lapped softly against the dock as a dark man in a big trench coat walked from his boat onto the concrete.
Hmm. So this is Dual Academy Isle. Now who will be my first victim? He thought chuckling to himself.
He then walked up the pier and into the forest passing a run-down dorm.
Inside the dorm, three figures gathered around a table with a deck of cards.
"And as I was reaching for the rare card, a ghostly hand reached up and gripped my arm tightly. 'Come to us, cooome to usssss.' A woman's voice said. Before I could react, I was dragged down to the land of graves." A boy with light blue hair and glasses said his voice eerie.
"Wh-wh-whoa, Syrus. You sure do know how to make a shiver go down a guy's spine." A kid with a slight Mexican accent said his voice paralyzed with fear.
"Aw. Thanks Jess but I couldn't have do it without Chumley. Hey, where did he go?!?!" Syrus Truesdale yelped in terror.
"I-I-I-I-I-I-I'm u-u-u-u-up here!" A voice stammered from the ceiling.
Both Syrus Truesdale and Jess Hernandez looked up and saw Chumley Huffington clinging to a board.
"Chum! If you don't come down from there, you're going to bring the entire dorm on our heads!" Syrus squeaked.
"I have to admit with our little amigo here Chumley. If you stay up there for much longer that board is certain to…"
But as Jess was pointing out the obvious, the board, which was bending under Chumley's enormous weight, snapped in half and Chumley hit the ground with a BOOM! Both Jess and Syrus were thrown up into the air and landed on their backs, their eyes in swirls.
"Ay-ay-ay, that's smarts!" Jess whimpered.
"Yeah. Ow, Chumley, can I offer a suggestion?" Syrus asked his head still spinning.
"Yes?" Chumley groaned.
"Please for the school's sake don't try out for the climbing team."
The comment got a giggle from Jess and, like a cold, it spread to Syrus and then Chumley. As they picked themselves up, they all heard a laugh from behind them.
"Ho-ho-ho-ho. Having fun boys?" The voice asked cheerfully.
All three of the guys yelled so loud that it woke up dead in their graves. After they were done yelling, they looked to where the voice came from and saw a thin man with glasses holding onto a cat.
"PROFESSOR BANNER! DON'T SNEAK UP ON US LIKE THAT!" The boys shouted in unison.
Lyman Banner, along with his pet cat, Pharaoh, flinched at the yell.
"Sorry, boys. I didn't mean to scare you. I was curious about your activity that's all." The headmaster of Slifer red dorm apologized.
"Oh, well we're just sitting around telling ghost stories based on the level of the card we draw." Chumley said.
He then went on to explain it even in more detail.
"So all have to do is draw a monster card with a high level and I can tell a story based on that level?" Banner asked.
"Yep. B-b-b-but don't make it too scary professor." Syrus stammered.
"Don't worry, Sy. I'm sure he won't." Jess said reassuring.
Professor Banner drew his first card and it turned out to be a level eight Zoa card.
"Hmmm. I've got it. Have any of you boys hear of the Abandoned Dorm?" He asked.
Syrus, Jess, And Chumley shook their heads.
"Well, it was a dorm set aside for dualists of special abilities. These abilities allowed them to harness the power of shadow games." Banner explained.
"Shadow games?!?!?!?" the trio cried.
"Yes. Shadow games. But many students disappeared from the dorm and soon they closed it down. Well good night boys." Banner concluded sadly.
The three looked after the headmaster and then looked at one another.
"You know, maybe we should check the place out, amigos. After all, we may find out where all the students went." Jess suggested.
"I don't know. It sounds dangerous." Both Syrus and Chumley said.
"Aw, come on where's your sense of adventure? Besides we may finally get some girls to notice us if we find the missing students." Jess replied.
"Well, alright. Why don't we head out tomorrow?" Chumley asked.
"It's settled then." Jess exclaimed joyously.
Abandon Dorm
The light played over the strange symbols on the ground.
I can feel the darkness here. Now to transfer it to Yubel. Jaden thought.
He reached down to the floor and caressed it. Almost immediately, a dark cloud surrounded him and then it shot itself to Yubel's container.
Ahhhhhh, Jaden. Thank you for sending the darkness to me. But I'm afraid it isn't enough to get me to the crude form I must use to possess that Alexis girl. Yubel cooed.
On hearing Alexis's name, Jaden mind drifted over to her and he blushed when he thought of her.
Wha?!?! What am I thinking!?!?! I love Yubel and only Yubel. Jaden thought to himself angrily.
Needless to say, the past nights have always been filled with dreams of the girl he dueled the first day and its left him quite puzzled those nights. Yubel sensed his anger and became worried for her love.
Jaden? What's wrong? Yubel asked.
Jaden looked at the arm and sighed in frustration.
"Yubel, I'm afraid I'm having an emotion arise and it's really starting to annoy me." Jaden huffed in anger.
What emotion is it? Yubel asked cautiously.
"It only arises when Rhodes's first name is mentioned." He replied disgustedly.
Oh, you must be falling in love with her. Yubel said in a teasing tone.
"FALLING IN LOVE WITH HER?!?!?!?! HOW CAN I FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW OR EVEN CARE ABOUT?!?!?!?" Jaden exclaimed, his fury unleashing.
The furious outburst caused the entire room to tremble and darkness swirled around him like a hurricane.
Jaden, you know I'm kidding. But it is still a possibility. After all, you were to… Yubel started but quickly stopped.
"Yubel? What were saying about me? If there is something that you haven't told me about my past life, I will stop gathering dual energy for you." Jaden said dangerously.
Weeeeellllll, there may have been one or two things I left out for your safety. Yubel said a little nervously.
"What things?" Jaden asked his golden eyes flashing underneath his helmet.
I'll explain later when you get back to your dorm room. Which reminds me, you better leave now before the Disciplinary Action Squad discovers you. Yubel said changing the subject.
Jaden sighed in exasperation, and said "Right, but when I get back from my classes, I demand an explanation."
With that he picked up the case and walked out of the dorm completely unaware of the man with the mask watching his every move.
Lighthouse near Red Dorm
Alexis walked out to the lighthouse and saw Zane standing near the base. As she approached, he turned to her, his expression cool and his eyes glaring.
"Alexis, I didn't think you were going to show up." He said.
Alexis stood next to him and said sarcastically, "Thanks for your concern but why wouldn't I come? You know that I'm a friend."
"True, but I wanted to tease you." Zane said a smile curling at his lips.
Alexis sighed in frustration and shot back, "You know, I think Atticus's attitude rubbed off onto you before he vanished."
Zane turned so that he could look her in the eyes and said, "Maybe."
The next few seconds were filled with an uneasy silence.
"So I heard that you dueled that new Blue student, Jaden Yuki." Zane said breaking the silence.
When Jaden's name was mentioned, Alexis felt heat race to her cheeks and she stared out the water uncomfortably as she remembered the color of Jaden's eyes.
"Lex? What's wrong?" Zane asked.
"Nothing! Nothing's wrong!" Alexis quickly replied.
Zane looked at her and noticed the blush on her face.
"Oh, boy. Lex, are you falling for the new kid already?" Zane asked.
Alexis spun around to look at Zane square in the eyes.
"N-n-n-n-no! Why would you say that, Zane!?!?!?! He's even colder then you." Alexis stammered.
Zane shrugged his shoulders and turned back toward the water.
"Did you find anything that has to do with your brother's disappearance?" Zane asked, changing the subject.
Alexis inwardly sighed in relief at the change in the subject but reported sadly that she had not found anything.
"Hmmm. Well, keep looking. Remember, the night doesn't last forever." Zane said comfortingly.
Alexis smiled at her friend and nodded. She then turned and walked back to her dorm room completely oblivious to the hungry eyes that watched her.
Oh-ho! There is my next victim along with that boy. The man thought to himself.
Retreating swiftly, he headed back to his new hideout to prepare for tomorrow night.
Next Day
Jaden listen to Alexis speak to Dr. Crowler.
"Normal spell cards have a spell speed of one while Quick play spell cards have a spell speed of two. Continuous spell cards have a spell speed of one as well but they remain on the field instead of going to the graveyard like a normal spell card. A field spell card has a spell speed of one but again it remains on the field until a new field spell card is placed or is destroyed by another spell card with a higher spell speed." She said.
Crowler clapped his hands in approval and shouted merrily, "Wonderful! I expect nothing less from an Obelisk blue student.
Alexis blushed at the praise coming from her teacher.
"Now who can tell me what field spell card does? Hmmm, how about you Syrus?"
"Uhhh…urm… a … field spell is the thing that…affects…s-s-s-sorry, I don't know." The light blue haired boy murmured.
"Even a pre-dualist knows this one! Stand there!" Crowler said with a smirk.
"If a pre-dualist knows what a field spell is, then why don't you tell us Crowler?" Jaden asked coldly.
The question got many gasps from many of the students including Alexis.
"Wha? I beg your pardon Mr. Yuki but maybe you should tell us what a field spell does!" Crowler said with a slight tinge of anger.
"Of course. A field spell obviously affects the dual field. But many field spells affect the dual field in different forms. For example, the field spell card Umi affects only certain types of monsters. The monsters in general that are affected by Umi are Aqua, Sea-Serpent, Thunder, and Fish type monsters. But it also affects Pyro and Machine type monsters. The Thunder, Fish , Sea-Serpent and Aqua type monsters gain 200 attack and defense points while the Machine and Pyro type lose 200 attack and defense points." Jaden explained.
Everyone was staring at him as he explained what a field spell card was. All the girls had hearts in their eyes including Jasmine and Mindy, Alexis's friends as they listen to Jaden. Alexis couldn't tear her gaze away from Jaden as his voice hypnotized her.
Man, his voice is so cool and seducing! Wait, what am I saying?!?!?!?! I'm not even interested in this kid! Alexis thought in a panic.
"However, there are field spells that don't affect the type but rather the attribute. One in particular is Gaia Power. This field spell affects Earth attribute monsters; it raises the Earth attribute monster's attack power by 500 but it lowers the monster that has an Earth attribute defense by 400 meaning that it has both an offensive advantage but a defensive disadvantage. There are also field spells that deal with summons and battle. But I think I will explain that another day." Jaden finished.
All the girls groaned now that Jaden was done talking and Crowler was looking at the armored Obelisk in disbelief.
That boy showed me up! He knew that I would retaliate asking him to explain to us what a field spell is. Well I must admit his explanation was through. GRRRRRR! Obelisk or not no one shows me up! Crowler thought in jealously.
Jaden smirked to himself sensing the doctor's anger.
The rest of the day passed and Jaden soon found himself back in his dorm room.
"Yubel, remember what you promised to me last night?" Jaden asked when he sat down on his bed.
Yes, Jaden. I remember. Yubel said in a childish female tone.
"Well?" Jaden simply said.
*sigh* I guess there is no need to hold back anymore. Well, where do I begin? Yubel asked.
And that all I wrote folks but don't worry. The next chapter starts with Yubel telling Jaden his connection to Alexis. And just who is the strange man on the island. Well I can give a hint; he's a shadow dualist. Please review and check back when I add the next chapter.
