Disclaimer: Don't own Yugioh/GX/5D's. I do own the idea and OC's.

A/N: Well, here's another chapter of Yugioh GX: The Next Generation. Again, any of my own cards will be put at the bottom after the chapter.

It had been a week since Chris was introduced into the Academy. Jamie and Marcus quickly found out that Jacob had been right about Chris.

Cafeteria...

"He seems like a nice guy, he just needs a little boost in the right direction," Jamie said.

"I know. But with how little he speaks, I don't know how we'll get through to him," Jacob said.

"You said he was happy and nice after his duel with Kale, right?" Marcus asked. Jacob nodded. "Well maybe a duel will do it."

"You know, that's a pretty good idea," Jamie said. "But which one of us will duel him?"

"I'll do it if you don't care," Zack said, sitting down next to them.

"Nah, I'll do it," Jamie said.

"Okay. So what exactly are you gonna do?" Zack asked.

"Duel Chris, and hopefuly win. Maybe that will work," Jamie said.

"Sounds like a plan," Zack said.

Afterschool...

"Chris...wait!" Jamie yelled as she tried to catch up to him.

Chris stopped and turned around. "What do you want?"

"I...wanted to...know if....you wanted to...duel," Jamie said breathlessly.

"Okay," Chris said. He headed toward the duel field.

Duel Field...

"Good luck Jamie!" Jacob yelled from the stands.

"Thanks," Jamie said. Both her and Chris activated their duel disks.

"You can go first...Jamie," Chris said.

"Alright," Jamie said, drawing her sixth card. 'Jacob told me that he used Dragon Type monsters. And to especially watch out for his Black Luster Dragon.' "I'll start by summoning Blade Skater (1400/1500) and placing two cards face-down. That's all for now."

Chris drew his sixth card. "First off, I'll place a monster face-down, then place a card face-down. Your move."

"Okay. I'll activate Polymerization to fuse my Blade Skater with the Etoile Cyber (1200/1600) in my hand. Come out Cyber Blader!" Jamie said as her two monsters fused together. A woman with long blue hair, a red and purple ballerina outfit, and skates appeared from the portal and twirled (2100/800). "Since you have one monster on the field, my Cyber Blader can't be destroyed by battle. Now attack!"

Cyber Blader skated toward Chris's face-down card and slammed her foot down on it. It revealed a humanoid green dragon wearing armor and holding a shield. As soon as it disappeared, another one took its place, this one holding a spear (700/800).

"What happened?" Jamie asked.

"Your Blader destroyed my Troop Dragon, and when its destroyed, I'm allowed to Special Summon another from my deck," Chris explained. "Now, I believe it is my turn."

"Yes," Jamie said.

"Hmm," Chris said, looking at the card he drew. "I'll sacrifice my Troop Dragon to summon Kaiser Glider!"

Troop Dragon was incinerated by the flames of a small, golden dragon as it flew onto the field (2400/2200).

"Now I'll activate my trap card, Dragon's Descent. This card allows me to special summon a level 4 or lower dragon-type monster from my hand, so I choose Armed Dragon LV3!"

An orangish-yellow dragon with silver armor appeared on the field and growled at Cyber Blader (1200/900).

"My Cyber Blader now gets it attack doubled since you have two monsters on your side of the field," Jamie said as Cyber Blader grew taller (2100-4200/800).

"That's not good. I'll finish my turn by placing a card face-down," Chris said.

"My move," Jamie said, drawing a card. She smiled. "Okay, I summon Cyber Gymnast to the field."

A muscular woman with blond hair and a white mask flipped out of the air and landed next to Cyber Blader (800/1800).

"Now, I'll have my Cyber Blader attack your Kaiser Glider!" Jamie said. Cyber Blader skated toward Kaiser Glider and tried to do a spin kick, but was stopped by a barrier.

"Sorry, but I activated my Negate Attack. My Kaiser Glider isn't going anywhere," Chris said.

"Fine. I activate my Cyber Gymnast's special ability. I can discard a card from my hand to destroy a monster card on your field. I choose your Kaiser Glider!" Jamie said. She discarded a card as Cyber Gymnast did a scissor kick to Kaiser Glider, destroying it.

"My Kaiser Glider's ability activates. When it's destroyed and sent to the graveyard, I'm allowed to return a card on the field to the owner's hand. Say goodbye to your Cyber Blader," Chris said.

"Oh no!" Jamie said as Cyber Blader disappeared. "I guess I'll end my turn."

"Good. During my Standby Phase, I can sacrifice Armed Dragon LV3 to bring out a stroner one. Say hello to Armed Dragon LV5!" Chris said. The armor on Armed Dragon LV3 burst, blinding Jamie. When she was able to see again, a bigger dragon stood there. This one was red with silver armor and had a clubbed tail (2400/1700). "I'll place a card face-down, then attack your Cyber Gymnast!"

Armed Dragon LV5 walked over to Cyber Gymnast and brought its fist down, only to be stopped by a barrier.

"You're not the only one with Negate Attack," Jamie said, smiling.

"You're right. I'll end my turn," Chris said, a smile starting to form.

'It's working, I can't believe it!' Jamie thought as she drew a card. "I'm gonna activate Cyber Gymnast's ability again," Jamis said, discarding her card. Cyber Gymnast jumped at Armed Dragon LV5 and destroyed it with a kick to the neck. "Now Cyber Gymnast can attack you directly!"

Since Cyber Gymnast was still next to Chris, it spin-kicked him, dropping his Life Points.

Jamie's LP: 4000

"I end my turn," Jamie said.

"Heh, all I can do is place a monster on the defensive," Chris said as a card appeared on his field.

"Now that I have enough monsters in my grave, I can activate my trap, Warrior Rising.This allows me to special summon as many Warriors from my graveyard as possible by paying 1000 life points. So, I summon back Etoile Cyber (1200/1600), Blade Skater (1400/1500), and Cyber Tutu (1000/800)!"

A bright light flashed on the ground as the three monsters climbed out of the field.

Chris's LP: 3200
Jamie's LP: 3000

"Now, I'll attack your face-down with Blade Skater," Jamie said. Blade Skater skated toward Chris's face-down monster and slammed its foot into the card. Chris's final Troop Dragon disappeared in a burst of pixels. "Finally, my other three monsters will attack you directly! And since Etoile Cyber gains 500 attack when she attacks you directly, this is it!"

All three of Jamie's remaining monsters ran at Chris. Etoile Cyber and Cyber Tutu kicked him, while Cyber Gymnast chopped him. Chris fell to the ground.

Jamie walked over to Chris and helped him up.

"Looks like I win," Jamie said.

"Yeah, you did. Thanks for agreat duel," Chris said, smiling. Jamie just smiled back.

"What is this?! Why is he able to be happy without being hurt? Is it because of the strong aura I feel from the girl and her friends? Or is it because he lost, thus weakining my power over him?" Dusk thought, concern racing through him.

"That was an awesome duel you two!" Jacob said, running down to the duel field.

"It was. I also feel like something has been lifted off of my shoulders," Chris said.

"That's cool," Jacob said.

The next day...

"...and that class, is how Duel Monsters were created," Prof. Williams said, finishing his lesson. Prof. Williams was a young woman with red hair. She was the assisstant headmaster to the Ra Dorm. She looked around the room and a tick mark appeared on her forehead as she saw that most of the class was asleep. "WAKE UP!!!"

The students that were sleeping jumped up like somebody had shot them, while the students who had been awake rubbed their ears. The bell rang and students started to file out of the class.

"Don't forget, your essays on Duel Theory are due Friday!" She yelled after them.

"Man, I thought that would never end," Jacob said, yawning and stretching.

"Yeah, tell me about it," Chris said, rubbing his eyes.

"You know, I'm surprised at how much a duel changed you. Don't you think it's a little weird?" Jamie asked Chris as they walked toward the cafeteria.

"A little, but I'm not complaining. I haven't felt this good since I got here," Chris said, smiling.

"Oh well," Jamie said.

"Let's hurry up and get to the cafeteria before all the food gets taken!" Jacob said as he ran toward the cafeteria, Chris right behind him.

"I would've never thought that Chris would be so much like Jacob," Marcus said. The other two just nodded.

Afterschool...

"Did you guys know today was discount day at the Card Shop?" Zack asked, reading a sheet he had picked up at the cafeteria.

"Really?" Jamie asked, looking at the paper.

"Yeah, there's one on the second Monday of every month," Zack answered.

"That's cool, but I don't have any money," Chris said.

"Don't worry. They don't use money here. They use what they call DP, or duelist points. When you win a duel, you get some, but you can't lose them if you lose a duel," Marcus told him.

"Really? How do you see how much you have?" Chris asked.

"You can look at your P.D.A. It tells you pretty much anything, like who's ranked the highest, holidays, stuff like that," Marcus said.

"Awesome," Chris said.

"Does anybody want to go?" Zack asked.

"Nah, but we can go to the Obelisk dorm and hang out. Watch a movie or something," Marcus said.

"Sure, I'm game," Jacob said. The other three said okay as well.

Obelisk Dorm, 3 hours later....

"That was a pretty good movie. It had a lot of action," Chris said, eating some of the leftover popcorn.

"Yeah, it was. So, what do you guys want to do next?" Marcus asked, eating some of the popcorn as well.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to start on Prof. Williams's essay," Jamie said, getting up and walking out.

"I'm gonna go back to the dorm and get some shut eye," Chris said, getting up and leaving as well.

"Well, what now?" Jacob asked.

Marcus shrugged his shoulders. "I guess we can watch another movie."

"Sure," Zack said.

Slifer Dorm...

Chris had just fell aslepp when a dream started.

Dream...

A 4 year old Chris is sitting in front of a young woman with long brown hair. Her features were blurred.

"Mommy, why are we hiding?" Chris asked as they sat in a storage room.

"There are bad men after us," his mom said.

"Why?" Chris asked.

"I'm not sure sweety," his mom said, tears forming in her eyes.

She heard a noise and gasped. She put a finger to her mouth, then walked slowly toward the door. She almost reached the door when it burst open, revealing two men in black suits. The men grabbed her and held their hands over her mouth, keeping her from screaming. But Chris was still there.

"Mommy, no! Leave her alone you bullies!" Chris said, running over and hitting them. One of the men back handed him, sending him across the floor. He started to cry as the men walked out. Chris got back up and ran after them. "Let mommy go!"

"Kid, I'm giving you a chance to leave. Go now or I'll kill you!" one of the men said. Chris's mom's eyes widened. She tried to scream no, but it couldn't be understood. The other man then walked over and chopped Chris in the back of his neck, knocking him out.

Chris's Room...

Chris sat up abruptly in bed, cold sweat running down him. 'It was just a nightmare,' Chris thought as he lay back down. It was another ten minutes before he fell back to sleep, tossing and turning.

"This is good. My power over him is starting to return. I'll have to take my plan into action soon though, because of those problematic kids. If it works out, this world will be mine! Mwa hahahaha!!....I need a new evil laugh,"Dusk thought.

'I've got to stop this soon, because if I don't, this school...no, the whole world will be in danger! I have to gain power first, though. Chris, hold out a little longer, let your friends give you more light!' another voice thought. This was isolated from the other voice. It had the appearence of a small black dragon with navy blue and gold armor, making it look like a miniature Black Luster Dragon.

A/N: Well, here's Chapter 3 of this fic. I hope it's good, but I fell like I sort of rushed it. Anyway, R&R and I'll see you next chapter.

P.S: One of my reader's, Caroline Truesdale asked if Zack had any siblings. To answer that, I haven't really decided. So, in that case, I'm gonna open up an OC creation. Send in some characters with basic info.

Like this: Name, Deck, Appearance, Personality, Dorm, Any relations, etc. I'll only except a few, so get them in as fast as possible. Another thing, one OC per reviewer. If I need more after those few, I'll announce it in one of the future chapters. That's all for now.
