Chapter 2: Welcome to Duel Academy

Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter, now I'm happy to see people interested on what I have planned, in this I have characters from the anime and the manga. I hope you all enjoy this and please leave a review.

On a remote island in the Pacific was Duel Academy, looking out from the window of their helicopter all the students who passed the entrance exams were looking at their new home away from home.

As they all exit the helicopter they report to the main hall to get their uniforms for Dorm placement. Takeru steps forward and they hold out a Ra Yellow Blazer. "Well since I didn't go to Prep School I guess that makes sense."

Taking the blazer Takeru puts it on but leaves it open to show his gray t-shirt underneath.

"Now this looks awesome." Takeru smiles as he makes his way to where all the other first years were.

Lined up in rows Takeru looked to see Jaden and Syrus in red blazers and Bastion was a yellow like him. Others had blue blazers and the girls had white blouses without sleeves and blue skirts.

Suddenly a man appears on screen he was bald but had a goatee on his chin and wore a dark red blazer over a shirt and tie.

"Greeting students, I am the Headmaster here at Duel Academy Chancellor Sheppard and you all are the best and brightest young duelists in all the world. Now please, get yourselves settled at your assigned dorms. I hope you find them comfortable; depending on how you rank of course." Sheppard said chuckling.

The students were soon walking out of the main school building heading off to their dorm assignments. Takeru takes out his duel pilot, a silver gadget used to show grades, emails, ID, and where you live.

"Ra Yellow here I come." Takeru said.

"Looks like we'll be neighbors." Takeru looks over to see Bastion walking towards him.

"Hey Bastion, you ready to go check out our new home?" Takeru asks.

"Absolutely." He nods, but before they could go Jaden called out to them.

"Hey guys, you in red too?" Jaden asks.

Bastion smiled at this. "No, we're in Ra Yellow."

"Oh, so that's how it works." Jaden said looking at his blazer.

"I'm kinda surprised they put you in Red after your duel." Takeru said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jaden glares.

"Well don't let it bother you. We'll be on our way now." Bastion said.

"Hey, maybe we'll see you guys around the dorms." Jaden said.

"I doubt that your dorm is over there." Bastion points in the opposite direction.

"See ya later." Takeru said following Bastion to their dorm.

The Ra Yellow dorm building was a medium sized yellow building and was very clean. Bastion and Takeru walked inside and found their dorm rooms down the hall from each other. After receiving their room keys Takeru opens the door to his new room and sees it's a decent size with a bed near the window, a desk, computer, a bathroom and drawers for clothes.

"This place seems pretty cool." Takeru smiles closing the door. "I've been preparing for this moment for a long time, I can't wait to get started." Takeru said unpacking all his things.

Seeing that he had some time before the Ra welcome dinner Takeru decided to go explore the school.

As he made his way towards the main building he saw two people up ahead. One was a boy in an Obelisk blue uniform and the other was Seika.

"Seika Kohinata please go out with me." The boy asks.

Seika rolled her eyes. Ever since she got back boys have been throwing themselves at her and it was getting old. Looking around she tried to find a way out of this when she notices Takeru walking over and gets an idea.

"There you are." Seika walks over to Takeru and hugs him surprising both him and the Obelisk. "I've been waiting forever for you to get here." Seika said pushing his arm between her breasts causing Takeru to turn bright red.

"Aw man I got beat to her by a Ra Yellow." The Obelisk said storming off.

"Uh who are you?" Takeru asks seeing that Seika hadn't moved.

"Seika Kohinata, I saw you at the qualifiers yesterday. You were pretty impressive."

"Wow thanks. So, uh Seika was it why are uh you know?" Takeru asks.

"Well that boy has been bothering me since I got here to go out with him and I needed an excuse to get him to leave. Why do you not like this?" She smirks pushing herself closer to him.

"What? No, I mean yes I mean not that I wouldn't mind, but." Takeru stutters.

'Hmm I like this one maybe he and I can have some fun.' Seika thought. "Excuse me what's your name?"

"Uh Takeru Nensho."

"Well Takeru maybe sometime we can get to know each other." She said winking at him.

"I guess that sounds fine." Takeru said nervously.

Smiling Sieka walks away.

"Well she was interesting." Takeru said snapping out of it.

Walking to the front of the building he notices Jaden and Syrus walking in the door.

"Hey guys wait up!" Takeru said running after them. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Just checking out our new school, same as you." Jaden said.

Takeru nods. "It's pretty cool."

"Come on let's go inside." Jaden said as the three of them made their way into a very large room.

It had stands all around the walls and in the middle was a large dueling arena.

"This is the sweetest dueling arena I've ever seen." Jaden said in awe.

"I'll say I would love to duel here." Takeru said.

"Well why don't we?" Jaden suggests.

"But do you think we're allowed?" Syrus asks.

"Sure, we are we're students and this is our campus." Jaden said.

"Wrong. This is Obelisk Blue campus. No Slifers allowed!"

"And the same goes for Ras."

They turned to see two teenage boys wearing Obelisk Blue blazers. They were the same guys who hang around Chazz, their name's were Torimaki and Raizou.

"And why should we believe you?" Takeru asks not liking these guys already.

"Look at the crest." Raizou points behind them and they see a large crest of the Egyptian God Obelisk.

"This is Blue territory no Reds or Yellows allowed." Torimaki said.

"Oh, sorry. We didn't know we'll leave right guys?" Syrus asks looking towards them.

"Nah we don't have to leave, not as long as one of you guys agrees to duel me." Jaden said.

"I wouldn't mind a duel either." Takeru said.

"Hey, wait a minute I remember you two." Torimaki said.

"Hey Chazz, the one who beat Dr. Crowler and the one with the Dark Magician are here." Raizou said.

Both Slifers and the Ra turned to see a boy with spikey black hair staring down on them.

"Hey, I'm Jaden and you're Chuzz was it?" He asks.

"He's Chazz Princeton and he was the number one duelist at Duel Prep School, so you better show him so respect." Torimaki said.

"Yeah, he's gonna be the next King of Games, the best duelist in the world!" Raizou said.

"Impossible." Jaden said angering them.

"What did you say?" The Obelisks growl.

"You see it's impossible for him to be the next King of Games because that's what I'm going to be." Jaden said causing the two Obelisks to laugh.

"A Slifer Slacker the King of Games? Yeah right."

'Wow that's a pretty big dream Jaden…course if he wants to be good he'll have to duel me.' Takeru thought.

"Can it you two!" Chazz ordered. "Maybe the new kid is right. He did beat Dr. Crowler and his legendary rare monster. I guess it takes some skill to pull it off. " Chazz said.

"You got that right." Jaden said.

"And then there's you." Chazz said looking at Takeru. "The Dark Magician is one of the rarest cards in the entire game, now how did a card like that end up in your hands?"

"Wouldn't you like to know." Takeru glares.

"Maybe between the two of you, it was just dumb luck. I say we find that our right now." Chazz smirks.

"Bring it." Jaden grins liking the sound of that.

"Might be nice to wipe that look off your face." Takeru said.

"Well this is a motley crew." A new voice said.

They all turned to see Alexis walk over to them and Takeru was in awe.

'Whoa first Seika and now her. There are lots of pretty girls here.' Takeru thought.

"Hey Alexis. You come to watch me mop the floor with my new friends Jaden and Takeru? I promise you it will be a short duel, but an entertaining one for sure." Chazz smirks.

"I came to remind you guys that you're late for the Obelisk Welcome Dinner." She said

"Oh yeah, come on guys." Chazz said as he and his cronies left the arena.

"Sorry about him, not all Obelisks are like that. Chazz is just a jerk, especially with Slifers." Alexis said.

"It's no big deal." Jaden shrugs surprising her. "Those types don't really bother me; besides I could take him down in one turn."

"Seriously?" Takeru rolls his eyes.

"Well two turns…maybe two and a half." Jaden said causing Alexis to giggle. "Hey, what's so funny?"

"The Slifer Welcoming Dinner is about to start too." Alexis said.

"Right we better go Sy." Jaden said running down the hall before stopping. "Hey, what was your name again?"

"Alexis Rhodes and yours" She smiles.

"Jaden Yuki. See you later." Jaden said running off.

"Hey, aren't you gonna tell her my name?" Syrus asks running after him.

"Those guys are hilarious." Takeru smiles.

"So, are you gonna tell me your name?" Alexis asks looking at him.

"Oh, right Takeru Nensho." He said nervously.

"Well Takeru you might want to get going too." Alexis said.

"Right the Ra dinner. I hope we meet up soon." Takeru said running out.

"This is going to be an interesting year." Alexis said to herself remembering how those two crushed it at the entrance exams.

Later that evening Takeru and Bastion sat down with all the other Ra students who were enjoying their delicious welcome dinner all of which was made by the Headmaster of the Ra Dorm Professor Sartyr.

After the welcome dinner Takeru was laying in his bed holding his stomach.

"Man, that was some of the best food I've ever tasted." Takeru smiles when his Duel Pilot went off signaling he got an email. Reaching towards it Takeru opens it to see an image of Chazz on screen.

"Hey there, you Ra Reject don't think you and that Slifer are off the hook. I'm calling you both out. Meet me at the arena at Midnight and why don't we make this interesting whoever wins gets the loser's best card. Imagine how much better I'll look with your Dark Magician by my side." Chazz smirks.

Takeru growls as Dark Magician appears in spirit form in front of him.

'He's not worth it Takeru he's just trying to get on your nerves.' Dark Magician told him telepathically.

Takeru takes a deep breath. "You're about that, but I don't think Jaden is going to back out of this." Takeru walks over and grabs his deck and duel disk. "Which means we got to be there to back him up."

Dark Magician nods in understanding as Takeru sneaks out of the dorm and heads to Obelisk arena.

Walking down the hallway he sees Jaden and Syrus had already arrived.

"Why am I not surprised to see you here." Takeru said

"Well I was worried you wouldn't show." Chazz said as he Raizou and Torimaki were standing on the other side.

"You came just in time to watch me win this." Jaden smiles as Syrus and Takeru walked over to the sidelines.

"Now we'll see if you beating Dr. Crowler was a fluke or not." Chazz said.

"Yeah, and we're also going to find out which one of us if going to be the next King of Games." Jaden said.

"Whatever just have your best card ready to hand over to me after you lose." Chazz said.

"You too Chazz. Game on!" Jaden said as they activated their duel disks.

"DUEL!"

Chazz: 4000

Jaden: 4000

Chazz draws a card and looks at his hand. "Alright slacker. I'll start by summoning Reborn Zombie in Defense mode and I'll place one card facedown." Chazz said as a decaying zombie appeared on the field.

Reborn Zombie DEF: 1600

"I guess that's one way to start a duel. But I'm gonna go even bigger. I play the spell card Polymerization and I'll fuse Avian and Burstinatrix from my hand to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!" Jaden said as everyone watched the two heroes fuse together to form the hero from Jaden's first duel.

Elemental Hero Flame Wingman ATK: 2100

"I told you I'd start big." Jaden grins.
"I was hoping you would." Chazz smirks.

"Why's that?" Jaden asks not liking the sound of that.

"Because I activate my facedown Chthonian Polymer do your stuff!" Chazz said as he trap revealed itself.

"That's not good." Takeru gulps.

"What's Chithonian Poylmer's stuff?" Syrus asks afraid to hear the answer.

"I knew I'd find you here?" Turning around Takeru saw Alexis walking over.

"Alexis?" Takeru said surprised.

"Chthonian Polymer is a nasty trap. It allows you to take control of your opponent's Fusion Monster if you sacrifice your own." Alexis explains.

"But Jaden just brought out a Fusion Monster." Syrus gasps.

"I sacrifice my Reborn Zombie to take control of your Wingman!" Chazz said as Wingman appears on Chazz's side of the field.

"I hate to admit it but playing that card was a smart move." Takeru said.

"You're so predictable Jaden. You wouldn't stop talking about this monster at the exams, so I knew you were going to play it." Chazz laughs.

"Since Wingman was a Special Summon that means I can still summon a monster from my hand." Jaden said as he looked at his hand. 'Not that it'll help me though. Not one of these cards can go against the Wingman.' Jaden thought.

'Go on Slifer Slacker, summon another monster. After all, I haven't forgotten Wingman's special power.' Chazz grins.

"I summon Elemental Hero Clayman in Defense Mode!" Jaden said as a large man made of clay appeared.

Elemental Hero Clayman DEF: 2000

"My turn." Chazz said drawing. "I summon Chthonian Solder!" Chazz said as a man in dark armor and a sword appeared next to Wingman.

Chthonian Solder ATK: 1200

"And now Flame Wingman attack with Skydive Scorcher!" Wingman rose in the air and dived down surrounding himself with flames as he smashed into Clayman destroying him. "Don't think I forgot about Wingman's superpower. You take damage equal to your monster's attack." Wingman points his dragon arm at Jaden and engulfs him in flames.

Jaden: 3200

"And don't think I'm done! Chthonian Soldier attack with Windstorm Slash!" Charging forward Chthonian Soldier slashed Jaden causing him to drop to his knees.

Jaden: 2000

"Come on Jaden fight back!" Takeru said encouraging him.

"Have you learned your place now, Slifer? You may have been someone back home, but you're nothing but an amateur here you Slifer Slime! I end my turn with a facedown."

Chuckling Jaden stands up with a smile. "This is too fun!" Jaden smiles.

"What?" Chazz said surprised.

"This is exactly what I came here for. I mean the trash talking, the action, it's all so great." Jaden smiles.

Takeru grins. "There it is."

Alexis looks at him curious. "What do you mean?"

"He's got a fire in his eyes that shows no matter how bad the odds are Jaden's gonna keep going." Takeru said.

"You sound like you have that fire too." Alexis said.

"Maybe I do." Takeru smirks causing Alexis to giggle.

"I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman!" Jaden said as a hero dressed in yellow and blue with a curved blue helmet appears.

Sparkman ATK: 1600

"Attack Chthonian Soldier with Static Shockwave!" Sparkman creates a lightning bolt and throws it destroying Chthonian Soldier, but when he does his sword flies up into the air and strikes Jaden.

Chazz: 3600

Jaden: 1600

"Still think you won that one? Whenever Chthonian Soldier is destroyed you take the same amount of damage I do… the only difference is you barely have any left!" Chazz mocks.

"This ain't over yet. I play a facedown and I end my turn." Jaden said.

"Play whatever you want it won't make a difference Slacker! My next attack will wipe you out! Attack Flame Wingman!" Chazz said as Wingman surrounds himself with flames.

"I don't think so! That was a trap!" Jaden said revealing his facedown.

"It's Mirror Gate!" Syrus gasps.

"Then Jaden still has a chance after all. Mirror Gate makes two monsters switch sides so now Jaden has his Wingman back." Alexis said as Flame Wingman went to Jaden's side and Sparkman went to Chazz's.

The two heroes jump in the air and clash before Wingman destroys Sparkman.

Chazz: 3100

"And like you told me, my Wingman's superpower kicks in so you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's attack points." Jaden said as Wingman blasts Chazz causing him to scream in pain.

Chazz: 1500

"And just like that Jaden takes the lead." Takeru smirks.

"Nice moves Jaden." Alexis said agreeing with him.

"More like Lucky moves. I play Chtonian Blast! Since you destroyed one of my monsters I get to destroy one of yours!" Chazz said as an explosion goes off destroying Wingman. "And that's not all! You take damage equal to half your monster's attack points!"

Jaden: 550

"Now I activate my trap Call of the Haunted!" Chazz said as his he reveals his facedown. "This lets me bring back my Chthonian Soldier, but he won't be staying long, because I sacrifice him to summon Mefist the Infernal General!"

Mefist ATK: 1800

"Not bad." Jaden said not fazed at all.

"Not bad? You're something else, you know that slacker? Acting all confident, but your lousy monsters won't get you out of this jam." Chazz smirks.

Jaden looked at his hand to see all he had left was Winged Kuriboh. "You and I both know he's wrong because my monsters and I have a bond." Jaden smiles as he drew his card.

Suddenly Alexis turns her head to the entrance and gasps at the sound of footsteps. "Guys! We got company! Campus Security! If we get caught here, we'll all be in big trouble!" Alexis warns.

"What?!" Syrus said surprised.

"What? Why? I mean we're all students here." Jaden said.

Alexis took out her PDA. "The Rules of Duel Academy say no off-hour dueling in any arena and Chazz knows that but let me guess he didn't tell you." She said looking right at him.

"You we're gonna take our cards and leave us to get busted." Takeru glares.

"Come on Chazz we got to go." Torimaki said.

Chazz snorted and turned away. "Fine."

"Hey wait a minute, the duel isn't over!" Jaden said wanting to finish it.

"Yeah it is Slacker. I saw what I needed to see. You're a sorry duelist and you beating Crowler was a fluke." Chazz said leaving, but not before shooting a glare at Takeru.

"Jay we got to go!" Syrus said.

"Aw man I had him on the ropes." Jaden whines as they made their escape.

Outside the main building Alexis saw Jaden being led out by Syrus and Takeru.

"You certainly are stubborn Jaden." She smirks.

"Only about my dueling." Jaden said.

"Thanks for showing us the way out." Takeru said.

"No problem, I'm just sorry you didn't finish your duel with Chazz." Alexis smiles.

"It's ok. I already know how it would've ended." Jaden smirks.

"Oh really?" Takeru and Alexis said at the same time.

"I knew instantly after I drew this." Jaden smiles showing them Monster Reborn.

"Whoa so if we had a few more minutes you would have won." Takeru said impressed.

"Yep. Catch you later." Jaden said as he and Syrus went back to the dorm.

"Thanks again Alexis I hope to see you around." Takeru said.

"Absolutely after all you still have to show me the fire in your eyes you talked about." Alexis smiles causing him to blush.

"Uh yeah I'll do that uh see ya." Takeru said running off to his dorm.

Alexis smiles as she watches the two Slifers and the Ra leave. 'This is going to be one interesting year.' She thought before leaving to go back to her own dorm.
