Different Dimension Distortion
A warning before the storm
Reiji just carried on with his usual days after the events that took place a couple of days ago. First there was the duel with Bastion and Chazz, then there was the duel against Jaden and the monkey and lastly the duel against the Harrington and Jaden. Reiji was still thinking of home and missing his family, it had been a month since he was teleported into the GX universe. He was still thinking of his plans with the Lancers and how they were doing in the Synchro Dimension but he had no way of knowing since he had no way of contacting his home or the lancers. Reiji was still doing his best to try and make a device to contact the standard dimension but he was only able to make the blue prints for the device. With no method of getting the parts for the device he tried to find alternative methods but since there was no where for him to build the machine or anyway to get the parts for them.
Academy
Reiji finally got to the academy and started walking towards the cafeteria but there was a lot of students who were gathered around including Jaden. Reiji became a bit curious and went to visit them as well.
"Declan, dude its great to see you!" said Jaden. Reiji saw Jaden standing next to a cart full of bagged sandwiches which had the duel academy logo on them. Standing next to Jaden was an Obelisk Blue who was surprisingly buff and had a bowl haircut.
"Hello Jaden, who's your friend?" said Reiji.
"Oh this is Damon, he was gone for a while because...of some circumstances but now he's back and believe me, he knows how to draw his card." said Jaden.
"Well very nice to meet you Damon. My name is Declan guess I'll be seeing you in class." said Reiji.
"Yes sir, it was nice meeting you." said Damon.
"So what's going on? Why are all these students gathered here?" said Reiji.
"Oh don't you know? It's sandwich day!" said Jaden.
"Sandwich day?" said Reiji. He was completely confused since he was looking around and all the students were taking a bite of there sandwiches but collapsed due to their taste.
"Yeah, its where we get to pick a random sandwich pack and test your luck! There's ostrich burgers, grilled tongue or a half dozen other mysterious burgers which don't follow up on taste." said Jaden.
"(Grilled tongue? Now that doesn't sound pleasing.) I don't get it, if most of them have taste then why try and eat them?" said Reiji.
"It's because there one sandwich which has the golden egg . Compliments to that rooster which lays it." said Jaden.
"(Roosters don't lay eggs Jaden.) Well then are you guys going to try your luck?" said Reiji.
"Yeah, we're going to try now. Damon was going to test his luck like his card drawing skills. That eggwich is delish and we have to get it." said Jaden as he picked a bag from the cart.
"Well good luck." said Reiji as he observed Jaden. Jaden then opened his bag and took a bite from his sandwich but after he took a bite, he just fell on his knees with a depressed expression.
"Oh man...grilled tongue!" said Jaden.
"Guess it's my turn!" said Damon as he closed his eyes to concentrate. He then quickly opened his eyes and grabbed a random bag. "This has to be it!" said Damon as he quickly opened it and took a bite from the sandwich. All the students were staring at Damon believing he picked the right sandwich but then Damon also fell on his knees. "Darn it, ostrich burger."
All the students were disappointed since no one was able to get the golden egg sandwich yet. Just then Reiji went over to the cart and grabbed a random bag. He was about to open it but then he realised he gets special teachers meal so there was no point in him having it so he just left with the bag. Just as he started leaving he met up with Alexis.
"Oh hey Declan." said Alexis.
"Hello Alexis, I'm guessing you're here to try your luck with the sandwiches?" said Reiji.
"That's right, I see you already tried your luck. How come you haven't opened it yet?" said Alexis.
"I don't need it, I get meals as a teacher anyway so this is pointless for me. Here, you can have it." said Reiji as he offered the bag to Alexis. Alexis then took the bag and Reiji left for the Chancellor's office. Alexis then went over to the cafeteria and saw Damon and Jaden being in the slumps because of their bad sandwich draw. Alexis then decided to open the bag that Reiji gave her and she checked the sandwich to see that it was the golden egg sandwich.
"I got it, the eggwich! It's mine!" said Alexis. All of the students then quickly turned their heads to see that Alexis did have the golden eggwich and all the students were shocked to see someone actually got the best the sandwich.
"What?! Seriously, how did you get it?" said Jaden.
"I guess I just got lucky. (Thanks Declan)" said Alexis.
"Hey Alexis, I'll trade ya. I got...something green." said Jaden.
"I'll take it." said Damon but then Jaden and Alexis just gave him an awkward stare. "What? I've been eating tree bark and grub for the past year."
"Well forget it, this sandwich is mine." said Alexis.
Chancellor's Office
Reiji finally arrived at the Chancellor's office but as he was about to enter, there were some things he was considering asking before going in. He knew that Crowler knew about his deck and he knew it would be dangerous to use his for everyone to see his cards. Maybe he could try and get a new deck and a way to get the parts. Reiji then entered the chancellor's office.
"Ah there you are Declan." said Sheppard.
"Hello Chancellor, you called for me?" said Reiji.
"Yes, first I would like to thank you for accepting our request to duel for the school duel. I also wanted you to be one of the first to know about the deck that will be going on tour." said Sheppard.
"On tour?" said Reiji.
"Yes, you see, Industrial Illusions has decided to let the deck that belonged to the king of games go on tour." said Sheppard.
"The deck of Yugi Moto? (I remember him, in the past he was the strongest duellist to ever exist. He defeated the creator of duel monsters, Pegasus , defeated Seto Kaiba and held the legendary Egyptian gods. I remember studying about him when I was kid.)" said Reiji.
"Yes and duel academy has been chosen as the first stop of the tour. We are going to make sure that Yugi's deck will be displayed and I wanted you be one of the first to see it." said Sheppard as he took out a brief case. Sheppard then opened the brief case to show a deck, he then took it out and passed it to Reiji who started to going through the cards. He then noticed a certain card which shocked him.
"Is this what I think it is?" said Reiji.
"Yes it is, turns out Yugi had one in his deck. As you can see, every card that was used by Yugi is here and we were given the chance to display it. But the tour won't be open for another week so I just wanted to let you know and I was hoping you would start letting the students know." said Sheppard.
"Of course I will let the students know. I kind of have a request if you don't mind." said Reiji.
"Of course what is it?" said Sheppard.
"I was wondering if there was a way I could get a new deck, right now my deck is...unusable and so I need a deck." said Reiji
"I see, I don't know what happened to your deck but I will gladly give you a deck. In fact, maybe I can give you the special deck that we have stored away." said Sheppard as he started looking though his shelves.
"Special deck?" said Reiji.
"Yes you see, the creator of this academy gave us a copy of his deck. Now normally we wouldn't want anyone to use a deck like this, however after watching your duelling skills and your incredible talent. I'm sure that you can put this deck to good use." said Sheppard as he gave Reiji the deck. Reiji then started inspecting the deck but he couldn't believe that cards that he just got. He knew every card that was in the deck and who it belonged to.
"Incredible, I know every single one of these cards. Especially these three, now I know who made this academy." said Reiji.
"And now, I'm entrusting you with them. Besides, I can think of no one else who can use them as well as the original user." said Sheppard.
"Thank you, I won't you down." said Reiji as he left the office. He placed deck in his spare deck box and left for the teachers lounge. He still had to prepare his test papers for his students but all he could think about was how to use the new deck he received to it's full potential. Reiji just carried on with his usual day and left for his dorm and started inspecting every card. But he knew how the deck worked and started working on combos and techniques with the deck.
"I can't believe I have a copy of his deck, it's not as strong as good as I expected compared to the cards from the standard dimension but it's definitely one of the best compared to the students of this island. It's the best deck I can use right now since I can't use my own deck." said Reiji as he placed all the cards back into the deck box. He then took a shower and started getting ready for bed.
The next day
Reiji got up and wore his usual outfit and started heading for the Academy. He left his original deck back at the dorm and took the deck that Sheppard gave him. He made up a lot of combos and ideas on how to use the deck. He finally got to the class and started teaching like usual, it was after two hours that the classes were finally finished. Reiji however wanted to announce the tour first.
"Excuse me, I have an announcement to make." said Reiji as he stood up form his desk. All the students were about to leave but then they sat back down.
"I am proud to announce that the deck that once belonged to the king of games, is now about to go on tour." said Reiji. Just then all the students started chatting in excitement, they were all getting excited about the deck. "I see you're all excited but I guess you'll be even more excited to know that the first stop of the tour is here! Industrial Illusions has chosen Duel Academy to be the first stop. And you guys may want to get your tickets quickly, after all the display will be open...next week." said Reiji. At that point, all the students started rushing towards the card shop. Reiji was just watching as the classroom became empty.
Reiji then finally left and went towards the Sheppard's office. All the other teachers were also brought to the Chancellor's room since they needed to have a meeting regarding the tour.
"I'm glad you all could make it, now as you all know that Yugi Moto's deck is going to be on tour here at this academy. We will be keeping the cards in the display hall and until then I will require each of you to be on guard duty. I was just going to keep the deck in my office but then I realised, this would be the first place people would try to look for the deck." said Sheppard.
"(I am pretty sure that they would check the display case as well Chancellor.)" thought Reiji.
"So I was wondering if anyone here could stay on guard duty over the cards." said Sheppard.
"I think Declan can do it." said Fontaine. Everyone then turned their heads to see Fontaine who was smiling but then Declan had a confused face. All the other teachers then started thinking about it.
"Actually that doesn't sound like a bad plan." said Banner.
"Yes, after all, he is one of the best duellist we have here." said Satyr
"I agree, he is someone that we can trust. I think he's the one we should pick." said another teacher.
"I see, well what do you say Declan? Can you do it?" said Sheppard.
"(I don't I can do this right now, I still have my plans I must go through. I can't waste my time like this, right now I need to avoid this) Forgive me, however I cannot do this. I have some important...errands which need to be finished." said Reiji. All the teachers and Sheppard then gave Reiji a disappointed face. They were really hoping for him to be the one who could guard a really important deck.
"I do believe there is someone else who can do it, why not Crowler?" said Reiji. Just then everyone just gave Reiji a surprised face. Reiji of all people actually routing for Crowler. Even Crowler had a face of shock. "I personally believe that he can guard it well. After all, being the vice, I am sure he can handle it." said Reiji.
"What do you say, Crowler?" said Sheppard. Crowler then quickly jumped and realised what happened.
"Um...of course! I can do it, after all being the Vice Chancellor. I can definitely handle this." said Crowler.
"(Oh please...) Well with that, I must leave. Forgive me, however I must get back to grading the papers." said Reiji as he stood up and left.
"Oh well, I see. Very well everyone, thank you all for coming regarding this issue and Crowler, I am hoping you can definitely keep the deck safe." said Sheppard. All the other teachers then started leaving and Crowler was given the keys to the display case.
Reiji was about to go home when a noticed a pile of students who were near the card shop. Jaden then appeared on the other side of the corridor and saw the group as well. He then ran up to Reiji.
"Hey Declan, whats goin on?" said Jaden.
"Hello Jaden, seems as though some is either duelling or barging to get tickets." said Reiji.
"Tickets? Tickets for what?" said Jaden.
"Didn't you know? The King of Game's deck is going to be on tour and Duel Academy is the first stop. I did announce it in a class, you know the one you missed this morning." said Reiji. Jaden just had a nervous sweat, he knew how Reiji would be if he ever got angry.
"Uh...hehehe, sorry. I kinda slept in." said Jaden as he was running his dead. Reiji just gave a him a cold stare.
"Well I'm just going to have to give you extra homework now won't I." said Reiji causing him to have anime tears. "By the way Jaden, if you intend on getting a ticket for the tour. I would hurry it up, after all they are going fast.". Jaden then quickly ran into the group and Reiji just left the building and went home.
As Reiji got to his dorm, he started checking the deck that he received from Sheppard. He was still trying to figure out new moves and combos but the deck just wasn't as up to date compared to Reiji's deck.
"No synchro, xyz or pendulum cards. This deck seemed to be more based on beat down rather than control. Even so, I can only use this deck right now and I can't let anyone else see my cards." said Reiji as he started going through the deck.
"(Is that really so?)" said ?. At that Reiji just dropped the cards on the table and jumped off his chair.
"Who was that?!" said Reiji as he started looking around. He was looking everywhere but there was no one in sight.
"(Oh, you don't remember me? I was the one who helped you escape from that fool's mind games. Remember?)" said ?. Reiji then remembered the flashback of when he was duelling Titan and suddenly remembered the voice.
Back at Chapter 5
"(Come on now...are you really going to fall for his tricks?)" said ?
"(What? What was that?)" thought Reiji.
"(I said, are you going to believe that fool's mind games? Don't you see this has been nothing but a trick. This is no shadow game, it's an illusion.)" said ?
Reiji's Dorm
"It's you...that voice. Just who are you?!" said Reiji.
"(I have no need to answer you right now. In fact, I am only here to tell you something important.)" said ?
"What?! What are you talking about? I demand you tell me who you are!" said Reiji. Reiji was still looking around to try and there was nothing. He even ran to his balcony and there was no one in sight.
"(Don't bother looking for me, I am not someone you can see. Well...not just yet. I am only here to tell you that you have a war coming.)" said ?
"What? A war?! What are you talking about?" said Reiji.
"(I can say no more but I guess I can let in on a little secret. You were brought here to face the war but don't worry, you will not be facing it alone. In fact, your army is already headed your way." said ?
"What? My army...what are you..." said Reiji
"(Try to protect them as well as you can, after all their already heading for danger. By that I meant the academy.)" said ?
"Wait! Who must I protect, who are my army, what war am I facing?!" said Reiji but there was no sound. Reiji just tried to take in all that just happened, he heard the voice again and it told him something that will make him wonder for the rest of his days.
"He said I needed to protect them...but who am I...THE STUDENTS!" said Reiji as he quickly grabbed his white obelisk coat, the deck that Sheppard gave him and ran towards the Academy.
Academy
"(Don't tell me that they were after the students! But why? Just what is going?!)" thought Reiji as he carried on running. But as he reached the entrance he was able to see Jaden, Chumley, Syrus and Bastion. They were all breathing heavy.
"(They're okay! But what are they doing?) thought Reiji as he got close to them.
"Declan, it's great to see you! We need your help!" said Jaden.
"Why? What happened?!" said Reiji.
"Some one stole Yugi's deck!" said Syrus
"Yeah and we've been trying to find the culprit." said Chumley.
"(The deck got stolen?! Crowler, you had one job!) Okay, let's split up. I'll help with the search." said Reiji.
"A good choice. Thank you Declan." said Bastion. Then all of them split up and started searching for the culprit.
"(This person? Could he be the one that voice warned me about? If it is, I can't let him get to my students!)" thought Reiji as he carried on looking around but then there was a giant explosion from the coastal area of the academy. Reiji then started running fast and saw Jaden, Chumley and Bastion. They were helping Syrus stand up, turns out he was knocked out after duelling someone. Reiji then rushed to that group.
"Guys! What happened? Is Syrus okay?" said Reiji as he checked on Syrus.
"I'm fine Declan, just a bit roughed up. This guy was no joke!" said Syrus. Reiji then turned his head to see a figure wearing a Ra yellow outfit. He had his hair spiked up and wore a blue scarf. "Who is that?" said Reiji.
"You're wondering who I am? Hmph...the answer is quite simple. I am Yugi! The King of Games!" said the Ra Yellow. Everyone was just shocked at what they heard, a guy claimed to be the King of Games. "(Wait a minute?) Dimitri, is that you?" said Reiji. The others then gave Reiji a weird look.
"Wait what? Did you just say Dimitri?" said Bastion. The others then looked over to the figure and it was Dimitri.
"No way! It is Dimitri!" said Syrus.
"You're wrong! I am Yugi!" said Dimitri.
"(At least its not some one who can threaten the students) Dimitri, stop this foolishness and return the deck!" said Reiji.
"This is my deck and I will never give it up! The heart of the cards resides in my deck and I never let any one have it!" said Dimitri.
"Dimitri, do not make this any more difficult ten it needs to be!" said Reiji.
"You seem convinced that I am Dimitri and not Yugi. Then perhaps you can duel me and take this deck!" said Dimitri as he got his duel disk ready.
"Fine then, it seems I have no other way. Syrus, mind if I borrow that duel disk?" said Reiji.
"Um, sure but where's your special dual disk?" said Syrus. Reiji would always use his duel disk from the standard dimension, the academy duel disks didn't have the additional function to use his pendulum cards.
"Don't worry about it. Right now, any duel disk will do!" said Reiji. Syrus then took off the duel disk and threw it to Reiji. Reiji then grabbed the duel disk and got his deck his deck.
"(Okay, maybe right now is a good time to test out this deck!) Are you ready?!" said Reiji.
"Yes I am!" said Dimitri.
"Then let's begin!" said Reiji.
"DUEL!" said Dimitri and Reiji.
?
"Well well, this might be interesting. He's going to be challenging the deck that belonged to the king of games." said ?
"Does it matter? He's going to defeat that guy easily, after all, an imposter is nothing compared to the original." said ?
"But don't forget, that copycat was able to replicate the king of games pretty well. I say he might have a challenge this time." said ?
"Does it matter? Even the king of games doesn't stand a chance against him, after all, he has the power from the Different Dimensions!" said ?
"I don't think so, this time he's using another deck." said ?
"What?!" said ? and ?
"But why? Why isn't he using his own deck?!" said ?
"Simple, he doesn't want people to know about his cards and so he decided to resort to another deck." said ?
"So you're saying that he has a chance of losing?" said ?
"Perhaps but we'll have to wait and see now won't we. Let's just enjoy the show and see the outcome shall we. After all, now that he's received the message, he's going to be become stronger and stronger. He will finally unleash his true potential." ?
Chapter 9 - End
(A/N So I'm finally out of the hospital and resting peacefully but then I completely forgot about this chapter. So since I still need to rest from my operation, I decided to write this chapter so I can rest for a good while. Now we finally know that Reiji was brought to this dimension/time for a greater destiny, to protect them from a great threat. I am sorry that I couldn't start the duel just yet but I hope you can wait for the next chapter since it's the great duel against the king of games. I'm sure that people can easily guess who the ? was but in case, you won't know. Stick around for future chapters since ? is going to help Reiji a lot in the future. Thank you all for reading and reviewing, and hopefully you can give me your opinion of the story so far. So please have a good morning/day/evening/night)
