Yu-Gi-Oh! Future Academy
Chapter 3 - A Titan's Power
It was a bright Monday morning in duel academy and Yuudai was just waking up. It was 6:00 am, Yuudai had already gotten used to waking up at that time. He took his tooth-brush and his towel and headed for the baths.
He didn't need to wait because most of the students were yet to wake up. After that, he went back to his room to dress up, Tom and Kenji who were asleep when Yuudai woke up, were already awake.
"Morning, Yuudai." Tom said, he was sitting on his bed.
"Good morning." Yuudai replied. He turned to see Kenji sitting on at the table, he was using his laptop.
"What's Kenji doing on his laptop?" Yuudai asked.
"I don't know," Tom said shrugging. "It must be important if he is working it as soon as he wakes up.
"We're all walking to school together so you two shouldn't leave me." Tom said as he left the room to take his bath.
"Yeah… Yeah" Yuudai said as he creamed his hair.
After some time Yuudai went to the ground floor for breakfast. He was wearing a white shirt under his red slifer jacket and black trousers.
Luckily, the slifer dorm now had cooks, and good one at that. The food was arranged buffet style, where everyone could take what they wanted. Yuudai had settled for some slices of bread and tea.
"7:00." Yuudai said as he checked the clock. 'Class starts at 8 o'clock. I might as well work on my deck.' He thought.
After going through the cards in his inventory, Yuudai realized how useful the cards he had received prior to his coming to duel academy were. He reconstructed his deck, having changed his deck so that it would focus on his new ace card; the synchro monster his grandpa had given him.
"Hey! Yuudai!"
"Huh." Yuudai muttered as he looked back. It was Tom that called him, he and Kenji had finished their breakfast and were ready to leave.
"Let's go." Tom said as he picked his bag.
"Okay." Yuudai replied, getting his bag.
"WHAT!," Yuudai yelled as he saw his class schedule on his PDA.
"What?" Kenji asked as he continued walking. "You didn't know that normal school subjects were taught here in duel academy." He continued, he had seen a case where a first year slifer didn't know that.
"Oh, I do. I just yelled for the dramatic effect." Yuudai said, Tom and Kenji sweatdropped.
"You sure do random stuff sometimes." Tom said as they arrived at the main building, basking in all its glory.
"See you guys later." Kenji said as he left for his class.
"Later." Tom replied. He and Yuudai had the same class since they were first year students in the same department.
The first period was fantastic... at least it was for Yuudai. It was Math and it was thought by Mr. Black. Mr. Black was the bald man who oversaw the entrance exam; he had been referred to as Hank by the chancellor. His teaching was horrible...to everyone except from Yuudai. He would write an example and as he solved it he would state exactly what he wrote, not even bothering to explain. When somebody had built up the courage to ask the terrifying man to explain, his reply to the unfortunate Obelisk boy was thus; 'Anyone who cannot understand what I just did is hopelessly stupid and I see no reason for them to stay in this class...this isn't a compulsory class anyway.'
Other than the Math class, the rest of the classes were pretty normal although duel monster history class was fun. The teacher was Miss Hikaru; a blond woman who was in her mid-twenties. The class had been about the Egyptian game Senet; how it was possibly the oldest board game, how the game's rule were unknown and the series of duel monster cards based on it.
'Riiiinnng' the bell went, signaling the end of the eight and last period of the day.
"Arrgh today was stressful." Tom said as he grabbed his books, he and Yuudai were still in the classroom. "More like that Math class."
"I don't know why people have been complaining about that class, I think the class is okay." Yuudai replied as he wore his bag.
"You're only saying that because you understand Mr. Blacks teaching." Tom countered. "Besides you're not part of the one he called 'hopelessly stupid'.
"I guess so." Yuudai conceded as he grinned. Yuudai surprisingly was brilliant when it came to Math. "I guess dueling does make a person's Math skills better." He said, making Tom sweatdrop.
"I can't believe this will go on for weeks." Tom complained as he and Yuudai left the class. "I thought duel academy would be all about dueling."
"I thought so too." Yuudai said, agreeing.
"Hey! Yuudai" Someone called out, making both boys to turn back. It was Madoka and the silver haired girl from before.
"What's up?" Yuudai said as the girls caught up to them.
"Nothing much." Madoka replied.
"What are you doing?" Anna the silver haired girl suddenly said sharply looking about. "We can't be seen talking with these slackers."
Yuudai glared at the girl, she was starting to get on his nerves. "What do you want?" He asked.
"Oh, right." Madoka said as she brought out some flyers from her bag. "I wanted you guys to help us give these flyers out. It's for the clubs in duel academy."
"Whoa!" Yuudai exclaimed. "I didn't know it was possible to go clubbing on the island." He said, making everyone else sweatdrop. "What? It's a joke! I know what you mean."
"Yeah, or you're just plain stupid." The silver haired girl added.
"Why yo-" Yuudai said before Madoka interrupted him.
"Sorry, sorry." She said as she stopped an argument from starting. "Please help me hand out those flyers to the first-year students." She said as she handed them to Yuudai.
"Were you gonna say something." Anna continued.
"Nothing, he wasn't going to say anything." Madoka interrupted again. "Thank you!" She said as she dragged Anna away.
"That Anna girl is starting to get on my nerves." Yuudai said, frowning as soon as the girls left.
"I don't know why you are getting angry over some witty remarks." Tom said with an amused expression on his face.
Yuudai smirked. "Well I'm not the one who almost got depressed because of an insult that was not directed at him."
"Whatever." Tom retorted. The two boys resumed walking.
"Take a look at this." Yuudai said, passing a flyer to Tom.
"It shows all the clubs in duel academy." Tom said as he read it. "So what."
"Which one will you join?" He asked.
"Hmmm," Tom said as he read through the flyer. "I think I'll join the art club."
"Art club?" Yuudai asked. "I didn't know you did any artistic stuff."
"Well I draw, and I think I'm good enough at it." Tom replied.
"When we get to the dorm, you've got to show me some of your drawings." Yuudai begged him.
"Sure." He replied. "Which club are you joining?"
"I'm not sure." Yuudai said, gazing hard at the flyer. "I'm not good at art stuff and I don't like the rest of the clubs."
"What about the dueling club?" Tom suggested.
"There's a dueling club!" Yuudai exclaimed. "Count me in."
"When are the club tryouts?" Tom asked.
"It doesn't say so on the flyer." Yuudai replied. "But I think I heard a senior say it was Saturday."
"Dammit." Tom cursed "Now I have to wait till the week ends."
"Well school wasn't that bad." Yuudai said. "But since I'm joining the dueling club it's going to be worth the wait."
"I guess so." Tom agreed. "We better start handing out these flyers."
"Oh, right."
After returning to the dorm, both boys had taken their baths and went to the 'recreational room. They had eaten lunch during recess in school so dinner would come later. They watched a group of boys play Fifa 13 on the Ps3 in the room.
Suddenly Kenji while holding his bag and laptop came into the room, he was sweating and panting. He locked the door and sprinted towards his room. At that point, people could be heard banging on the door.
Some of the slifers laughed while others murmured. Both Tom and Yuudai sweatdropped; wondering why a bunch of people would chase Kenji.
Kenji soon came down; he looked around swiftly, and suspiciously. "Are they gone?" He asked nobody in particular. After getting no answer he sat next to Tom and Yuudai. "Phew."
"What happened to you?" Yuudai asked, almost laughing.
"I got chased by some dudes." Kenji replied, stating the obvious.
"I think we know that." Tom said. "Why were you being chased?"
Kenji laughed sheepishly. "I may have sabotaged their bet."
"How?" Yuudai asked.
"You don't need to know." Kenji answered. "Besides, they'll have forgotten about it by tomorrow. So I don't need to worry anymore."
"Whatever." Tom shrugged.
"Do you guys want to play, we're starting a tournament." One of the boys playing the game asked.
"Count me in." Kenji said enthusiastically as he went towards the T.V.
"He just returns from classes and the first thing he does is to play Fifa." Tom muttered.
"No wonder he's a slifer." Yuudai whispered.
Kenji who was waiting for his turn to play suddenly sneezed. "Sorry." He said to the person in front of him.
"Yes." Tom said triumphantly.
It was the first Saturday of the term and Tom and Yuudai were about to go to their chosen clubs. Tom was wearing a red t-shirt and black trousers while Yuudai was wearing a purple t-shirt and black shorts and had his duel disk and deck with him.
During the weekends the students were not required to wear the school uniform, but some of them just decided to wear it. Kenji had, surprisingly, left the dorm before the boys woke up. They both wondered what he did, because he always seemed to be busy…except when he was playing the Ps3.
They parted ways when they arrived at duel academy's main building. After aimlessly walking around and asking for directions, he finally found the dueling club's room; the dueling arena.
"Get ready for a day of extensive dueling!" he said to himself as he entered the arena.
"What!" he yelled. Everyone in the room glared at him. "Sorry, sorry." He apologized and then added quietly. "It's for dramatics." He looked around the arena; there were surprisingly few people, about 20 of them.
"This is the dueling club right." Yuudai asked unsure.
"Yes." A slifer girl who had long brown hair that was tied in a ponytail said. "Let me guess, you expecting seventy people to be here?"
"Well, kind of." Yuudai answered.
"This is a club only for the elite duelists." Another obelisk student said. This one was a boy who had spiky black hair with red highlights. The boy, along with the slifer girl and another Ra yellow student sat behind a desk which was situated near the dueling field.
"But he is in this club." Yuudai said pointing at Kenji who he saw in the room.
"Why yo-"
"The reason this duel club is not packed with students is because, only smart duelists can pass the test." The slifer girl said.
"What is this test you speak of?" Yuudai asked, slightly nervous.
"I'll explain it to you." The obelisk boy said as he stood up. "Basically, you choose a member of the club to duel against."
"So if I win I'm in." Yuudai asked.
"No." the boy replied. "We in the dueling club have something we're looking for in duelists. While you duel your selected duelist, we will judge you and decide if you're in or not."
"Okay." Yuudai answered, his confidence dwindling.
"Choose your opponent then." The boy said.
Yuudai looked around, everyone there were grinning. 'Hmmm,' he thought as he looked around. 'If I challenge Kenji I'll look like a desperate wimp, besides I can always challenge him since he is in my dorm. If I challenge an obelisk I might lose, I know! I'll just challenge a Ra student; at least I'll have a winning chance. Which student? Yuudai looked at the students there, he saw Anna there. 'This is my chance to prove her wrong, but what if she is as strong as she claims to be."
"So who do you choose?" the obelisk boy asked Yuudai who was now sweating bullets.
"Uh..erm." Yuudai mumbled before he saw another Ra student who was reading a book, he was sitting at the desk, next to the obelisk and slifer girl. "I challenge him." Yuudai declared, pointing at the boy.
"Brad." The obelisk boy called the Ra yellow boy who was sitting with his legs on the desk. "Brad!" the boy yelled this time.
The boy stumbled and fell backwards. "Sorry." He said as he stood up dropped the book, which was a comic.
"So what's up?" the boy, Brad asked. Brad had smooth short brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a black t-shirt under his Ra jacket and blue jeans.
The tree students at the desk huddled up and whispered to each other. The trio stopped talking and Brad grabbed his deck, duel disk and then walked to the dueling field.
"Alright, get ready to tough it out!" he said, grinning as he activated his duel disk, resulting in the two students he talked to groaning.
"Okay." Yuudai said as he activated his duel disk.
"DUEL!" both students said as the life point counter appeared.
Brad: 4000
Yuudai: 4000
"You can take the first turn." Brad offered.
After looking at his hand, Yuudai replied. "Never mind, I'll go second."
"My turn, draw." The Ra yellow student said as he drew a card from his deck. "I summon Elemental HERO Stratos in attack position." The monster appeared, it was wearing a blue and silver hi-tech superhero suit and had two turbines attached to the back of the suit in a way that made them look like wings. [Atk 1800/Def 300 – Lv4]
"Stratos' effect activates, when I summon it I get to add a HERO monster from my deck to my hand." Brad continued as he took a card from his deck. The duel disk automatically shuffled his deck. "I set a card face down and end my turn." He said as a face-down card appeared in his spell/trap zone.
"It's my turn, draw!" Yuudai said as he drew. "Since you control a monster and I don't, I can special summon Vice Dragon in defense position. But if it is summoned this way, its attack and defense points are halved." A hideous looking purple dragon with dark green wings appeared; the dragon knelt down and blocked itself with its wings. [Atk 2000 – 1000/Def 2400 – 1200 – Lv6]
"I normal summon the tuner monster Magna Drago in attack position." A small fiery red dragon appeared. [Atk 1400/Def 600 – Lv2]
"I tune Magna Drago to Vice dragon." Yuudai said. Magna Drago turned into two green rings which Vice Dragon flew through before turning into five stars, a beam of light erupted. "I Synchro summon! Exploder Dragonwing!" he continued as a large fiery purple dragon appeared, the dragon had red wings and it gave a load roar. [Atk 2400/Def 1600 – Lv7]
"Exploder Dragonwing, attack Stratos!" Yuudai ordered as the dragon flew towards the hero.
"Trap card! Hero Barrier!" Brad said as Exploder Dragonwing struck an invisible barrier. "This trap negates an attack if I control an Elemental Hero."
"I set one face-down card and end my turn." Yuudai said, concluding his turn.
"My turn, draw." Brad said, his grin getting bigger as he saw the card he drew. "Get ready to see one of my favorite monsters. I summon Elemental HERO Bubbleman." A monster wearing a hero suit which had different shades of blue appeared, it had a white cape and a water cannon on its hand which was connected to the two water tanks on its back.
"That's your favorite monster." Yuudai said unimpressed.
"I activate the spell card Mask Change!" Brad said as he inserted a card into his duel disk. "And Bubbleman isn't the monster I was talking about, this is." Bubbleman started glowing and suddenly gave off blinding light. When the light subsided, Bubbleman was nowhere to be seen, instead a hero like monster, similar to the Japanese Kamen Rider heroes was present. The new hero was armed with a gun like weapon. [Atk 2600/Def 2100 – Lv8]
"What the heck just happened!" Yuudai said, surprised.
"Mask Change allows me to send a face-up HERO monster I control to the graveyard and then special summon a Masked HERO from my extra deck which has the same attribute the HERO monster had." Brad explained. "Say hello to Masked HERO Acid."
"At least I still have my face-down card to protect me." Yuudai thought.
"I activate Acid's effect!" Brad said, grinning while Yuudai grit his teeth. "When Acid is special summoned, all your spells and traps are destroyed and all your monsters lose 300 attack points." Acid fired his weapon, destroying Yuudai's face-down and weakening Exploder Dragonwing. [Atk 2400 – 2100/Def 1600 – Lv7]
"Masked HERO Acid, Destroy Exploder Dragonwing" Brad said as his monster fired his weapon again, destroying the Dragon.
"Tch." Yuudai grunted as his only monster was destroyed.
Brad: 4000
Yuudai: 4000 – 3500
"Elemental HERO Stratos will attack you directly." Brad said. Stratos' used its turbines to fly towards Yuudai, ramming him. The force of the attack made Yuudai fall backwards.
Brad: 4000
Yuudai: 3500 – 1700
"Do you want to continue the duel?" the brown haired slifer girl asked.
"Of course I do." Yuudai said as he stood up.
"Are you sure?" the girl asked. "Brad is part of the top 10 Ra yellow students. When he duels, almost every one of his opponents never reduces his life points below half. Knowing this will you rather challenge another member."
Yuudai was sweating bullets by them. "I'll still continue this duel." He said, mustering all the courage he could.
"Are you sure?" the obelisk boy asked with a smirk on his face.
"Oh, c'mon guys." Brad said. "Give him a break, the duel is just beginning. And just like a great duelist said 'a duel isn't over until the last card is played.'
"Uh, thanks." Yuudai said, surprised that the Ra-yellow student was encouraging him.
"I set two cards facedown and end my turn." Brad said, concluding his turn.
"My turn, draw." Yuudai said, gazing at his hand of three cards. Masked hero acid had cleared his field last turn, the only thing he could do right now was to stall. "I set a monster and a face-down card, turn end." Yuudai said as two reversed cards appeared.
"My turn, draw." Brad said, grinning. "I activate the spell card Polymerization. I fuse Elemental HERO Stratos and Elemental HERO Heat," Another elemental HERO appeared next to Stratos, the new hero had light brown and red armor. A vortex appeared behind the two heroes and sucked them in.
"To Fusion summon! Elemental HERO Nova Master!" The resulting monster was another Hero with golden armor which had touches of red at some places, the new hero had a red cape and was wearing a black body suit under the armor. [Atk 2600/Def 2100 – Lv8]
"Nova Master, attack his face-down monster!" Brad said, causing the E-HERO to generate flames from its hands. The hero fired the flames at the face-down monster which was revealed to be a dragon wearing a mask. The flames incinerated the dragon.
"I activate the effect of the destroyed Masked Dragon; it allows me to summon a dragon type monster from my deck which has 1500 or less attack points." Yuudai explained as another Masked Dragon appeared in defense position. [Atk 1400/Def 1100 – Lv3]
"When Nova Master destroys a monster, I can draw a card using its effect." Brad explained as he drew a card from his deck. "Masked HERO Acid will attack Masked Dragon." The Kamen Rider look alike fired its weapon and destroyed the dragon.
"I activate Masked Dragon's effect, I'll use it to special summon Debris Dragon in defense position." Yuudai said as a blue and white dragon appeared. The dragon looked like a younger version of the legendary Stardust Dragon. [Atk 1000/Def 2000 – Lv4]
"Turn end." Brad said.
"My turn, draw." Yuudai said. "Get ready to see my ace card, but first I'll activate my spell card Pot of Greed. This lets my draw two cards."
"I can't wait to see it." Brad replied, still grinning.
"Trap card activate!" Yuudai said as his face-down card flipped up. "Descending Lost Star! This trap lets me special summon a synchro monster from my graveyard in defense position, the monster's effect is negated, it cannot change its battle position and its defense points become zero."
Exploder Dragon wing reappeared, it used its wing to shield itself, signifying that it was in defense position. [Atk 2400/DEf 0 – Lv6]
"Next I'll equip Debris Dragon with Synchro Boost. This increases its level by one and gives it 500 attack points." The blue dragon glowed as its power increased. [Atk 1000 – 1500/Def 2000 – Lv5]
"I tune my level 5 Debris Dragon to my Level 6 Exploder Dragonwing," Yuudai declared as he took a card from his extra deck. "I synchro summon! The dragon from the galaxies! Star Eater!" Debris Dragon turned into five rings which Exploder Dragon passed through before turning into six stars. Blinding light was given off as the synchro sequence was completed.
A large roar could be heard as a large fiery red Dragon appeared. The dragon was surrounded by intense flames. [Atk 3200/Def 2800 – Lv11]
"Whoa," Brad said as he looked at the dragon in wonder. "Cool! I can't wait to see how I beat it."
"We'll see about that." Yuudai replied, full of confidence. "Star Eater, attack Elemental HERO Nova Master." The dragon charged up a large red ball of flames and shot it at Nova Master.
"Trap card activate! Mirror Force!" Brad said, smirking. However the smirk faded when Nova Master was incinerated and he was pushed back due to the damage taken.
"Hehe." Yuudai laughed triumphantly.
Brad: 4000 – 3400
Yuudai: 1700
"How did your monster survive mirror force?" Brad asked, surprised.
"When Star Eater attacks, it is unaffected by other card effects until the end of the damage step." Yuudai explained. "I set two face-down cards and end my turn."
"My turn, draw." Brad said as he drew his card. "I set a monster and then I'll switch Acid to defense position. Turn end." Brad said as Masked HERO Acid took a defensive stance and a reversed card appeared.
"My turn, draw." Yuudai said. "I summon Alexandrite dragon in attack position." A white dragon which had different types of jewels on its entire body appeared. [Atk 2000/Def 100 – Lv4]
"Star Eater! Attack Masked HERO Acid." Yuudai ordered as his ace dragon fired the ball of flames at the Hero.
Brad growled as Acid was destroyed by the attack.
"Alexandrite Dragon will attack the face-down monster." The jewel dragon smashed into the facedown monster which was revealed to be a dog like robot.
"You just destroyed my Wroughtweiler." Brad said. "When it is destroyed by battle, I can add an Elemental HERO monster and Polymerization from my graveyard." He continued as two cards were ejected from his graveyard slot.
"Turn end." Yuudai said, concluding his turn.
"My turn, draw." Brad drew. "I activate the spell card Polymerization. I'll fuse Elemental HERO Stratos and Elemental HERO Flash," The fusion summoning sequence occurred. "To fusion summon Elemental HERO Great Tornado!" A new HERO monster appeared. This one was wearing a black body suit with golden yellow markings; it had silver gauntlets at its knee, ankles, and hands and had a helmet of the same color. The hero was wearing what seemed like a brown poncho. [Atk 2800/Def2200 – Lv8]
"When Great Tornado is fusion summoned, the attack and defense points of all your monsters are halved." Brad said as the wind became stronger, weakening Yuudai's dragons.
Star Eater [Atk 3200 – 1600/Def 2800 – 1400 – Lv11]
Alexandrite Dragon [Atk 2000 – 1000/Def 100 – 50 – Lv4]
"Next, I activate the trap card Call of the Haunted." Brad said as his only face-down card flipped up. "This lets me special summon a monster from my graveyard in attack position. I special summon Elemental HERO Nova Master." The flame manipulating hero appeared. [Atk 2600/Def 2100 – Lv8]
"Elemental HERO Great Tornado will attack Alexandrite Dragon!" Brad said as the wind hero flew towards the weakened jewel dragon. The hero destroyed the dragon with one solid punch.
"Trap card activate! Defense Draw," Yuudai yelled as one of his face-down cards flipped face up. "When I'm about to take battle damage, this card reduces the damage to zero and I'm allowed to draw a card." He continued as he drew a card from his deck.
"Elemental HERO Nova Master will attack Star Eater." The Masked hero fired the generated flame at the dragon, destroying it.
Brad: 3400
Yuudai: 1700 – 700
"I set one card face-down," Brad said after he drew a card due to Nova Master's effect, inserting one card into the spell/trap zone of his duel disk. "Turn end."
"My turn, draw!" Yuudai said as he drew his card. 'I might have survived his turn but I am losing this duel." He thought as he scanned his hand. He then inserted a card into the spell/trap zone of his duel disk. "I activate the spell card Pot of Avarice. This card lets me return five monsters from my graveyard to my deck, and then I draw two cards."
"I'll return my two Masked dragons, Debris Dragon, Star Eater and Vice Dragon to the deck." He said as he placed Star Eater in the extra deck and he kept the rest in his main deck. After drawing two cards, Yuudai inserted two cards into his duel disk. "I set two cards and end my turn."
"My turn, draw!" Brad said. "Elemental HERO Great Tornado, attack him directly!" The hero lunged towards Yuudai who countered by activating one of his facedown cards.
"I activate the trap card Negate Attack! This card negates your attack and ends the battle phase." Yuudai explained as his trap card flipped up.
"I end my turn." Brad said.
"My turn, draw!" Yuudai said as he drew a card. "Get ready for my miraculous comeback!" he declared.
"Bring it on!" Brad replied.
"Spell card activate, Call of the Haunted! I use its effect to special summon Exploder Dragonwing." The purple dragon reappeared. [Atk 2400/ Def 1600 – Lv7]
"I equip the spell card Big Bang Shot to Exploder Dragonwing." Yuudai said as the spell card appeared. Exploder Dragonwing roared, signifying the increase in its power. [Atk 2400 – 2800/Def 1600 – Lv7]
"Next the spell card Enemy Controller." Yuudai inserted another card into his duel disk. "With this card's effect I'll switch Elemental HERO Nova master to defense position."
"What is he planning?" Brad thought as Nova Master took a defensive stance.
"Exploder Dragonwing will attack Elemental HERO Nova Master!" Yuudai yelled. "Big Bang Shot allows Exploder Dragonwing to deal piercing damage." The purple dragon fired a burst of flame at the defending hero, destroying him.
Brad grunted as his monster was destroyed.
Brad: 3400 – 2700
Yuudai: 700
"You're probably wondering why I didn't use Exploder Dragonwing's effect." Yuudai stated, grinning.
"Yeah," Brad said. "You would have done more damage that way."
"I needed Exploder Dragonwing to destroy a monster so I could end this duel."
"End this duel!" Brad said surprised. "How?"
"Trap card, activate! Synchro Overlimit!" Yuudai declared, grinning. "I can activate this card when a synchro monster I control destroys an opponent's monster by battle, this card allows that synchro monster to attack a second time."
Brad eyes widened at that statement. "You're planning on activating Exploder Dragonwing's effect when it attacks again."
"Correct. Great Tornado has 2800 attack points while your life points are 2700, when I activate the effect I'll win."
"Well I'm not about to let that happen!" Brad cried out. "Trap card activate! Solemn Judgment!"
"What!"
"With this trap card, when a monster is summoned or a spell or trap is activated, I can pay half of my life points to negate it!" Brad continued.
Brad: 1350
Yuudai: 700
"Noooo." Yuudai yelled as his trap card burst into pixels. "Turn end." He mumbled, knowing that he had lost. He had used all his cards in that failed attempt.
"My turn, draw!" Brad said as he drew his card. "I activate the spell card Miracle Fusion!" Brad said as the spell card materialized on the field. "With this card I can fusion summon an Elemental HERO by banishing monsters in the field and graveyard. I banish Elemental HERO Clayman on the field and Elemental HERO Stratos in the graveyard to fusion summon…." The two heroes were sucked into the fusion vortex.
"Elemental HERO Gaia!" a new hero monster appeared, this one wore heavy looking, green and grey metal armor. [Atk 2200/Def 2600 – Lv6]
"Elemental HERO Gaia's effect activates, when it is fusion summoned I can half the attack of a monster you control and then Gaia gains the same amount of attack lost." Energy flowed from Exploder Dragonwing into Elemental HERO Gaia.
Exploder Dragonwing [Atk 2800 – 1400/Def 1600 – Lv7]
Elemental HERO Gaia [Atk 2200 – 3600/Def 2600 – Lv6]
"Elemental HERO Gaia, attack Exploder Dragonwing!" Brad ordered as the heavily armored hero attacked the weakened dragon. The dragon was destroyed by the hero.
"Arrrgh." Yuudai yelled as the duel ended.
Brad: 1350
Yuudai: 700 – 0
"What a great duel!" Brad exclaimed, still grinning.
"But I lost!" Yuudai said sadly. "Doesn't that mean I'm not allowed into the club?" he said after deactivating his duel disk.
"Not exactly." The obelisk boy from before said. "Like I said, we'll be the judge of that."
Brad, the obelisk boy and the slifer girl huddled up and had a hushed conversation.
"Alright." The obelisk boy said after the three of them stopped talking. "You passed the test. You're accepted into the dueling club."
"Really?!" Yuudai asked.
"That was what I said, wasn't it."
"Yes!" he yelled joyfully. "But how do you judge the duels?" he asked after calming down.
"That's for us to know and for nobody to ever find out." The slifer girl said with a smirk on her face.
"So what do I do now that I'm in the dueling club?" Yuudai said excitedly.
"For today, we'll just sit and wait for applicants to arrive." Brad said.
"So we can beat their pants off." The slifer girl added smirking.
"Great!" Yuudai said. He then went to sit next to Kenji.
"How'd today go?" Tom asked Yuudai as the three roommates headed back to the dorm.
"Great!" Yuudai replied grinning. "I passed the dueling club's test."
"Yeah," Kenji said. "But barely."
"What do you mean?" Yuudai yelled. "You don't even know how they judge the duels."
"Keep telling yourself that."
"Why you!"
"I thinks that's enough." Tom said, interrupting the two slifers. "Anyway, I got into the art club."
"That's great." Yuudai exclaimed. "There was no way they wouldn't accept you with drawings like yours.
"Thanks."
"How do you guys like the academy so far?" Kenji asked the first-years.
"It's cool." Tom answered.
"It's better than I imagined." Yuudai said.
"Duel academy's an interesting place." Kenji said, agreeing with Tom and Yuudai.
"Race you to the dorm." Yuudai said, sprinting away.
"Last one there is a rotten egg." Tom added as he started running.
"Wait!" Kenji shouted before following suit.
Midnight, in an unspecified part of the island, two cloaked figures are seen conversing.
"So you're the one they sent."
"Yeah, this shouldn't take too long."
"It shouldn't, but remember the plan. Don't underestimate them; it might just lead to your demise."
"I know, I know. Besides, if all goes as planned, I won't have to face them directly."
"Just remember, stick to the plan."
"I hear ya"
The two cloaked figures parted ways, no one knowing of the meeting that just occurred.
A/N: Well this came up later than I wanted, but here's chapter 3. Hopefully chapter 4 will come earlier.
And Siderisn, I hope I got your OC's character right.
Till the next chapter, read and review!
