Chapter 1: Travel to Duel Academy

At Neo Domino orphanage, the owner Martha was busy packing her travelling bags as she was going away from work for a long time. In the same room, was a young man at the age of 26, with light brown eyes and hair, he was also quite tall.

"All right Blister, you know everything that you need for the next months, call me if there is any problems okay?" She asked as she rushed outside and placed her bags in the back of a car. Blister smiled as he followed the middle-aged woman outside, "Everything will be fine Martha, but you might want to yell to your sons to hurry up. Its 8:30, your boat leaves in 45 minutes." Blister explained as he walked back into the building, when Martha made sure her bags were safe, she went back to the front door to try to call her three sons down.

"JACK, CROW, YUSEI! GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW OR I AM GOING BY MYSELF!" She yelled as she walked back towards the car, moments later, a teenager with black hair with yellow highlights came rushing out, carrying 2 travelling bags and a duel disk.

"Sorry mom, I had to make sure my hand was taped up," explained the teen as he showed his mother his right hand that was wrapped in white tape, from the top of his knuckles to the bottom of his wrist. The mother smiled and was going to say something until two other boys came rushing out, carrying travelling bags and duel disks.

"Sorry mom, Crow forgot to pack something and we had to go searching for it." A tall blonde teen said as he and an orange haired teen placed their bags in the back of the car before closing the boot. Once everything was placed inside the car, all four people got inside the car and drove off, heading towards the docks where they would catch a ferry to their destination.

The drive was not going to take that long, 25 minutes later; they arrived at the docks were they drove their car into a storage area until they came back. Once storing their car and Martha signing papers, they boarded the ferry.

Once on board the ferry Yusei's eyes widened, never in his life has he seen such machinery, it held such beauty to him, he loved machines and their engineering. Whilst looking around, he failed to notice three boys wearing blue uniforms approaching him with sinister smirks on their faces. Yusei was to engrossed by the machinery that he didn't realise the three boys approaching him until it was too late.

Yusei was grabbed by his shirt and thrown like a rag doll into the wall. Once he collided with it, he was held up to it in an attempt to keep him there, he would play along until the time was right.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here boys, fresh meat." One of them sneered as he grabbed Yusei by his face to look at the newcomer. Yusei though was not interested to be anybody's punch bag, but he was out numbered 3 to 1. Not very fair odds, including for someone who has a gift like his.

Time seemed to go at a snail's pace but all changed when a punch landed right in his gut, knocking the air right out of his lungs. He wanted to collapse and get the air going back into his lungs, but it was no use as more punches made contact with his gut.

"What's the matter punk, not gonna fight back, you gonna go cry to daddy." The boy said that was punching him, Yusei snapped at that statement. With all the strength he could muster, the two boys holding him back were thrown at each other, knocking them out cold.

With them out-of-the-way, Yusei set his sights on their leader who was quaking with fear. With his eyes locked on to his prey, he brought his right fist up and went to punch the punk into oblivion, but sadly missed as his hand collided with the steel wall, leaving behind a dent that was about 1ft deep.

Pulling back his hand, Yusei ready to try to strike his retreating victim. "That is enough!" Ordered a voice from behind the two teenage boys. Both turned around and froze at the sight before them, standing right in front of them, standing no more than 3 metres away from the boys was the very founder of Duel Academy, Seto Kaiba.

Wearing his signature black trousers, black shirt with arm straps on his, wrist lock bands on his forearms with his white trench coat with the Kaiba Corp logo and duel monsters card necklace, he approached the scene with purpose. Once he arrived right in front of Yusei he looked down on the boy and found him intriguing in his own way.

"Well young man, would you like to explain why two of my students are out cold, a third cowering like a pathetic dog and why there is a dent in a solid steel wall that is 1ft deep?" He asked as he surveyed the damage caused by the young teenager. Yusei was dumbfounded, how was he going to explain what he has done, before he even got a chance to explain, a voice interrupted all the tension that surrounded the young man.

"Yusei, there you are," said his mother as she rushed over to her son, checking for any injuries. However his mother didn't Seto until he spoke directly to her. "Would you care to explain who this is and why he has already caused damage to the boat?" Seto asked with annoyance clearly heard in his voice. Martha turned around and was confronted by the CEO and fonder of duel academy, she unsure of telling him anything about Yusei, what would happen if she did tell him? With no other choice, she inhaled deeply before she began explaining.

"Well, you see, Yusei was born differently to other people, he overly developed muscles in his right arm, and his bone structure is very different as well. No doctors have been able to explain why he was born like this, but it gives him the ability of super strength really. He just can't control it, sir you have to understand what it is like for him to live like this." She explained as Martha looked directly at Seto, with determination in her eyes.

Seto was processing the information that he was just informed of; he obviously had a bad childhood from what his body language demonstrates, but with this ability, it must have destroyed his childhood, but he would not allow it to harm his future. "Well then, since we are almost at Duel Academy, I would like to continue this conversation in the Chancellor's office once we arrive. As for you Mr Princeton," Seto said while pausing to glare at the leader of the group of boys, "If I find out that you started all of this and continue to bother him, I will deal with you myself, do I make myself clear?"

He asked with a voice that would cut fully grown men to mere children, and all Chazz could do was nod, fearing for his life.

With that, Seto strode off to another end of the boat, forgetting what was behind him. Yusei however, was not feeling all too well, if Seto wanted to meet him in private, it usually means bad news. He was brought out of his thoughts when Martha began pushing him away from the scene and towards their room for the journey.

"Now Yusei, don't worry about that, let's just get you cleaned up," Martha said in a very motherly voice as she got Yusei to their room to sit down. Whilst Martha went to get the medical kit, Yusei was trying his best not to hyperventilate, but not doing such a good job at in.

Just as he was going to pass out, the door to the room opened, revealing his brothers, Jack and Crow. "Yusei!" Both boys exclaimed as they rushed forward to their younger brother. Martha had returned to be confronted with the scene of her two eldest sons trying to calm their younger one down. Martha rushed forward with the first aid kit and quickly placed it down before focusing on the task at hand, stopping Yusei from hyperventilating.

"Yusei, look at me, come on, slow your breathing down," the middle-aged mother commanded as the boy was desperately trying to slow his breathing. Both Jack and Crow were by his side, unable to help until Yusei was breathing properly.

Unknown to the four people, the boats security cameras were recording the thing, even the fighting was recorded. The system was hacked and the footage was being sent to a computer were a small group of people were reviewing the footage, particularly the fight scene. One of them stays seated while three others remained standing, huddling around the tiny computer screen. The one in the chair has his eyes fixed on the image of Yusei with fascination. The one sitting down was wearing a sinister smile, one that meant that nothing good was to come.
