[Chapter 2: Welcome to Duel Academy!]
Kaiba Corp Helicopter Pad!
It was the next day and the gang where all standing on the roof of Kaiba Corp where Misaki and Anna noticed people already getting on the Helicopter.
"Alright," Mai said making the two girls to look at her, "I want you to be careful Misaki."
"Well, do Nee-san," Misaki agreed with a nod.
"Now Anna," a boy with white hair said, "I don't want to hear from Kaiba that you have been stealing things. Got it?"
"Yes, Nii-san," Anna said with a nod.
"Don't worry Ryou," Misaki said as she smiled at him, "I'll keep an eye on her."
"Thanks," Ryou breathed.
"Our little Misaki and Anna is all grown up," a brown haired boy cried.
"Now, now Tristan," Joey said before he, too, broke into tears.
"Just be sure to write us," a long white haired boy with tan skin told them.
"We well Marik," Misaki and Anna told him with a smile.
As they went to turn to leave they was pulled into a hug by Joey and Tristan who just didn't want to let her go.
"Don't go Misaki-chi, Anna," they cried.
"We have to guys," the two told them.
"No you don't," Tristan cried.
"Tell them that they don't have to go Yugi, Kaiba?" Joey asked.
"It's their choose Joey," Yugi answered refusing to be pulled into the middle of their problems.
"For once I agree with Yugi," Kaiba spoked up.
The two of them let them go even though they didn't want to and let them turn to leave thought they gave them a wave over their shoulder before aboarding the Helicopter.
Helicopter!
When on the Helicopter they saw Jaden, Syrus as they had found out his name not to long ago, and Bastian already setting down. Misaki walked over to sit next to Bastian as Anna sat next to Misaki. Bastion greeted them making the other two look back at them with smiles.
"Hey," Jaden greeted with a smile.
"Hey," Misaki greeted back with a smile.
"That was some show," Jaden said.
"It was down right embarrassing," the two stated.
Jaden laughed before setting back in his set to get comfortable before the flight. After the Helicopter took off Jaden fall asleep making Misaki and Anna laugh, but they soon turned to Bastian and they started to talk about what life would be like at the Academy along with other things like the Education of the school and what dorms they'll be in. It wasn't long till Duel Academy island came into view and they stopped talking to look out the window.
"Attention new Duel Academy students," the pilot announced, "if you look outside your windows you'll see your new home away from home. Now, now I know your all excited, but don't shove. Quiet the sight, ay? Now fasten your seat belts and turn your seats back into the upright pretension. We're going into land. Next stop Duel Academy Island."
Meeting Hall!
Misaki stood next to next Anna wearing a white vest outlined in blue opened over a black leather blew chest tank top lined with gold, blue tight mini skirt, Megaman's Navi Symbol locket hanging from a silver chain, and blue ankle length 1" heel boots and Anna was wearing a white vest outlined in blue over a black turtle neck sleeveless shirt, blue tight mini skirt, blue finger cut gloves, four black bracelets on both wrists, and blue ankle length tennis shoes. Both of them where looking at a screen when Misaki all of a sudden heard a snore from a few feet next to her making her look over to see Jaden asleep standing up right. Misaki raised an eyebrow, but turn back to the screen when she heard a voice.
"Good Morning and Welcome my students," a bold man wearing mahogany jacket said, "I'm Chancellor Sheppard, the headmaster here and you are the best and the brightest duelist in the world. Now please get yourself settle in at you assigned dorms. I think you'll find them quiet comfortable depending on how you are ranked of course. Haha."
Outside of the Meeting Hall!
Misaki and Anna were walking with Bastion as they talked more about the school when they heard a voice up ahead making them both look up to see Jaden and Syrus talking. When Jaden cought sight of them he smiled as they walked closer.
"Hey, are your in red, too?" he asked.
"Well, now let's see here," Bastion said as he stopped, "yellow sleeves, yellow buttons, I don't think so."
"Oh, I get it," Jaden said, "so that's why Sy and I are in red."
"Please don't tell us that you just figured that out now?" Bastion asked as Misaki and Anna sweat dropped.
"So what?" Jaden asked, "ever figured that I might be color blind?"
"Well, now I didn't," Bastion said, "are you color blind?"
"*Laugh* No, but I could have been," Jaden answered as Bastion, Misaki, and Anna started to walk away, "see you two around the dorms!"
"I doubt that," Bastion said as he stopped to turn to look back at Jaden, "your dorm's over there."
Jaden looked to where Bastion was pointing along with Syrus before Bastion, Misaki, and Anna walked off talking again, but they soon went their own way to their dorms.
Obelisk Blue Girl Dorms!
Misaki and Anna walked into the Obelisk Girl Dorm when three girls walked up to them wearing the same uniforms as them.
"Hello," a blond haired girl greeted.
"What's up?" Anna asked in a greeted.
"Hello," Misaki greeted back.
"I'm Alexis Rhodes," the girl told them, "and theses are my friends. Jasmine and Mandy."
"Nice to meet you," Misaki said with a smile, "I'm Misaki Valentine."
"And I'm Annabelle Bakura, but call me Anna," Anna said with a smirk.
"Nice to meet you both," Alexis said.
"You, too," Anna also said.
"Well, we have to go unpack our things," Misaki with a smile.
"We'll come with you two," Mandy said.
"Ok," the two friends agreed.
Misaki and Anna lead Alexis, Mandy, and Jasmine who accompanied to their rooms where they unpacked her things and put up posters of their favorite Duel Monsters, Bands, Singers, Movies, and Anime. After everything was in it's place they walked out of Anna's room talking about Duel Monsters, their favorite monster, and the ones that they find cute. When they reached the main hall they were greeted by a woman with hot pink hair that was almost red pulled into a ponytail who Anna and Misaki knew was a teacher.
"Misaki can you go and round up the other Obelisks for the welcome feast?" she asked.
"Of course, Miss Fontaine," she said before turning to leave.
Obelisk Duel Arena!
Misaki walked into the Obelisk Duel Arena on the other side noticing five people across from them two of which where Slifer red jackets. Misaki knew who was able to recognized three of them out the five, so she walked up to them both with her arms crossed.
"Well, this sure is a motley crew," Misaki said.
"Hey, Misaki," one of the boys greeted, "have you come to watch me mop the floor with my new little friend Jaden here? It'll be a short duel, but an entertaining one for sure."
"I'm here to remind you about the Obelisk's welcome dinner," Misaki answered, "your late."
"Oh, yeah," the boy said lazily, "come on guys."
After the boy and his posy walked out of the arena Misaki turned to Jaden and Syrus.
"Sorry if Chazz rubbed you the wrong way," Misaki said, "all of us Obelisk aren't like that. He's just a jerk. Especially, with Slifers."
"It's no big deal," Jaden told her, "those types don't really bother me at all." Misaki looked at him in surprise. "Besides I could have beaten him in one turn."
"We've got to work on that over confident," Syrus said.
"Ok, two turns maybe two in half," Jaden said.
Misaki started to laugh which confused Jaden.
"What?" he asked.
"The Slifer welcome dinner is about to start, too," Misaki told him with a smile.
"Right," Jaden stated before turning around, "we better go Sy."
"Hey, wait up," Syrus called after him as he started to run.
Jaden suddenly stopped, turned around to face them, and started to jog in place.
"Oh," he said, "hey! What was your name again?"
"Misaki Valentine!" Misaki called, "and yours?"
"The names Jaden!" Jaden called back before turning around, "alright see ya around!"
"Aren't you going to introduce me?" Syrus asked.
"Jaden?" Misaki asked with a smile.
Welcome Dinner!
Jasmine, Mandy, Alexis, Misaki, and Anna stood together talking and laughing about a lot of things as the other girls talked as well. They found out that had a bit in common with each other and even though they didn't have that much in common they still talked and laughed. It was Mandy however that brought up the topic of boys.
"Misaki, is there some one you like?" she asked.
"I'm not really sure," Misaki answered, "I'm just getting to know him."
"Is it that Bastion guy?" Jasmine asked.
"Bastion?" Misaki asked in surprise before she started to laugh. "No, no. I've only meet Bastion."
"Oh, then is it Chazz?" Mandy asked.
"No way on earth," Misaki answered, "and any ways I can't stand Chazz."
"Then who?" they both asked.
"Well, I meet this Slifer Red student while I was gathering the other Obelisk students," Misaki answered, "he kind and funny."
"WHAT!?" Mandy asked in shock.
"No way," Jasmine second, "a Slifer Red?"
"He's the one who beat Dr. Crawler," Misaki answered, "or as I like to call him the He-She man."
"I repeat no way," Jasmine said with a bit of laugh though Alexis and Anna were both in a full blow laughing fit.
All four of the other girls soon all started to laugh. It wasn't long till they all felt tired that they headed off to bed, well, everyone, but Misaki who headed out of the dorm.
Obelisk Duel Arena!
Misaki walked into the Obelisk Duel Arena just as Syrus asked about a trap that Chazz had just played.
"I had a feeling I'd find you here," Misaki said.
"Misaki?" Syrus asked.
"Chthonian Polymer is a nasty trap," Misaki started to explain, "it'll allow you to take control of an opponent's Fusion Monster by sacrificing one of your own creatures."
"Oh no," Syrus said in alarm, "Jaden just summoned a Fusion Monster."
"I sacrifice Reborn Zombie to gain control of your Wingman," Chazz told Jaden.
"My Monster."
"How did Chazz know to play that?" Syrus asked.
"Your so predicable Jaden," Chazz told him, "you wouldn't stop talking about that Wingman at the exam, so I knew you'll use him soon."
"Still since Wingman was a special summon that means I'm allowed to summon a monster to the field," Jaden informed him before looking at his hand, 'not that anything in my hand is a match for the Wingman.'
'Go on you Slifer Slacker,' Chazz thought, 'play another monster. After all I haven't forgotten the Flame Wingman's super power.'
"Alright," Jaden said as he picked a card from his hand, "I summon Elemental Hero Clayman in defense mode. There all sat."
"Yeah, sat up to be knocked down," Chazz told him as he drew a new card, "Chthonian Soldier raise and now Flame Wingman! Attack with Sky Drive Scorcher!" Wingman did as it was told and destroyed Jaden's monster. "And now thanks to Flame Wingman's super power you life points take damage equal to your destroyed monster's attack points."
Jaden: 3200
Chazz: 4000
"Don't think that I'm done yet Slacker," Chazz told him, "Chthonian Soldier! Attack with Wind Storm Slash!"
Jaden: 2000
"Are you starting to know your place here at the academy yet?" Chazz asked, "maybe you were somebody back home, but here in the big leagues your nothing, but a pathetic little amateur Slifer Slime. I'll end my turn with a face down card. Go ahead Slacker!"
Misaki looked at Jaden with a worried look to see his shoulder shaking, but she didn't know if he was laughing or crying and she could tell that Chazz thought that he was crying.
"Ah, what wrong baby?" Chazz asked in a baby voice, "are you crying?"
Misaki giggled when Jaden full out laughed.
"This is to fun," Jaden said.
"What?" Chazz asked.
"Just what I came for," Jaden stated, "man, I mean the trashing talking, the action. It's just all, so great."
"What the?"
"I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman!" he announced, "alright Sparkman! Now attack with Stack Shock Wave!"
Sparkman did what Jaden told it to do and asked Chazz's Chthonian Soldier bring Chazz's life points down. Misaki looked up to see that Chthonian Soldier's sword fly up into the air before it went right at Jaden.
Chazz: 3600
Jaden: 1600
"Still think it's great Slacker?" Chazz asked, "because when Chthonian Soldier is destroyed you receive the same amount of damage to your life points as I do. The difference are that you hardly have any to spare. It's just a matter of time Slacker. Your best card id about to be all mine."
"This isn't over yet," Jaden told him, "I throw down a face down."
"Play what you like," Chazz stated as he drew a new card from his deck. "my next attack is about to finish off your life points. And that attack is coming right now. Go Flame Wingman!"
The Wingman went at Sparkman who lunged at it, too.
"Not so fast," Jaden announced, "that was a trap card I just threw."
"A trap?" Chazz asked as the trap card reviled it self.
"It's Mirror Gate," Syrus said with shock.
"Then Jaden's still in this duel after all," Misaki said with shock. "Mirror Gate makes two monsters in a battle switch sides their on, so that means that Flame Wingman is back with Jaden."
"Oh Yeah!" Jaden shouted, "Go Wingman!"
Wingman was able to beat Sparkman with ease.
"NO!" Chazz cried out.
Chazz: 3100
"And just like you told me a little while go," Jaden went on, "don't forget my Wingman's super power! You take damage equal to the attack points of your destroyed monster!"
Chazz's life points dropped even more.
Chazz: 1500
"Alright!" Syrus shouted.
"Nice moves Jaden," Misaki praised.
Jaden held up the piece sign over his shoulder at them.
"Those move where more lucky moves if you ask me you Slifer School Scum," Chazz told him, "alright I active Chthonian Blast. Now since one of my monsters was destroyed I can destroy one of yours and you take damage equal to half of it's life points."
"Flame Wingman!" Jaden called.
Jaden: 550
"Now I active the trap card Call of the Hunted," Chazz went on, "it let's me select one monster card from my graveyard and summon it back onto the field in Atk mode. Raise Inferno Warrior! But he won't be staying on the field for long because I'm going to sacrifice him to summon Nefise the Inferno General."
Misaki raised an eyebrow at the monster that Chazz just summoned out.
"Not bad," Jaden praised him.
"Not bad?" Chazz asked surprise, "your something else Slacker, you know that? Acting all confident, but your lousy monsters won't get you out of this jam."
Misaki felt her eye twitch at that, but then heard a sound coming from Jaden's hand and realized that it was a Kuriboh.
"I know he's wrong Kuriboh," Jaden told the card, "because what Chazz doesn't know is that my monster and I have a bond." He looked at the card he had just drew which got Misaki's attention. 'Speaking of.'
Misaki's head snapped up before looking towards the entrance when she heard the sound of foot steps coming their way.
"Uh, guys!" Misaki called, "we got company. Campus Security. If they find all of us in here we'll be seriously busted."
"What?" Syrus asked in shock.
"Why?" Jaden asked, "I mean we're all students here." Misaki pulled out her student hand books to show it to Jaden.
"The rules say no off hour arena duels," Misaki told him, "Chazz knows that." Misaki looked at Chazz with a glare to see him blushing. "But let me guess? He didn't tell you."
"Come on," one of his goons said, "let's go."
The other one freaked.
"Well, well Slacker," Chazz said as he looked at Jaden, "looks like you luck out this time."
"What are you talking about?" Jaden asked, "the match isn't over."
"Yeah it is," Chazz told him, "I seen what I came here to see. You're a sorry duelist. You beating Dr. Crowler was just a fluke."
Misaki watched as Chazz and his goons left before looking back at Jaden who fuming.
"Jaden, we've to get out of here!" Syrus called to him.
"Yeah, he's right," Misaki said.
"Come on," Syrus started to beg, "let's go."
"This stinks," Jaden said as he looked off to the side pouting with his arms crossed. "I had that guy on the robes."
"Come on," Syrus tried to tell him.
Outside!
They had finally gotten outside after having to push Jaden because he was fuming about how he didn't get to finish the duel.
"You surely are stubborn Jaden," Misaki told him.
"Only about my dueling," Jaden stated.
Syrus looked at Misaki who were looking at Jaden.
"Thanks for showing us the back way out," he told her.
"Sure," Misaki said, "I'm just sorry that you didn't get to finish your match with Chazz."
"That's ok," Jaden told her, "I know just how it would have ended any ways."
"Really?" Misaki asked, "no offence, but from my point of view it looked like it could have gone either way between you and Chazz when you guys stopped."
"No way," Jaden said with a hint of a laugh in his tone. "Now after I drew this."
He flipped the card that he still had in his hand around to show her that it was Monster Reborn.
"Huh?"
Misaki was looking at the card in shock seeing how the duel ended with Jaden bring back his Flame Wingman from the graveyard.
"See ya," Jaden told them as he put his card back before walking off.
"Wait up?" Syrus asked as he ran to catch up to Jaden.
Misaki watch them leave with smiles on her face.
'This is going to be one interesting year.'
Soon enough she headed back to the Obelisk Blue Girl Dorm to head to bed because they had classes in the morning.
Misaki's Dorm Room!
Misaki walked into her room and got dressed into her black tank top and faded blue torn mini shorts before climbing into bed and falling asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
