"FOR THE LOVE OF OBELISK DAD!" A woman's voice shouted, bolting out of the Kaiba Corp building with a Duel Disk attached to her arm.
"It was bad enough he forgot to send my exams to the board and Duel Academy Central so now I have to retake the god damn exam but now it took him forever to get this Kaiba Corp suit ready for me. I'm running late." The woman muttered to herself.
She was a young woman with silver hair, blue eyes and her hairstyle was in the style of one Seto Kaiba. This was Bianca Kaiba, the one and only daughter of Seto Kaiba and Kisara Kaiba. On her way there, she caught up with some strange Kuriboh-haired person.
"WATCH OUT!" Bianca shouted before CRASH!
Both of them crashed into each other.
"Ugh. Twice in one day. Today is not my day." The boy grumbled.
"Sorry." Bianca grumbled as the kid looked up.
"Hey, that outfit. You're Bianca, right?" The kid asked as she blinked.
"You don't recognize me? I'm the kid who won that contest your father put together." The kid stated, causing Bianca to blink before it hit her.
"Jaden?" She questioned.
"The one and only!" He grinned, helping her pick her cards up.
Suddenly both heard different sounds. One of a "Kuri" and the other of a roar as both looked around.
"Did you hear anything?" Jaden asked.
"I think so, but what?" Bianca questioned before looking at the time.
"OH CRAP! The exams!" Bianca shouted, taking off.
"Hey! Wait up!" Jaden shouted, chasing after Bianca.
Both had confident smirks on their faces.
"Can't be the Next King or Queen of Games." Jaden said as Bianca nodded in agreement.
"If we're late to the games." She finished as they both zoomed off.
At the Kaiba Dome
Exams were still going in full force as a voice blared over the intercom.
"Once again, all Duel Academy applicants who have already passed their Duel Academy entrance exams, please proceed to registration. Those who have not, better luck next year." The intercom said as we cut to a strange male in a more regal version of the standard Obelisk Blue uniform, complete with gold trimmings and a ruffled pink collar, shoulders, upper chest and sleeves. His blonde hair is sectioned in two layers, with the layer furthest from his face tightly bound in a ponytail.
"And have fun in Duel Monsters community college." The man said to himself with a chuckle.
We then see a strange worm monster attacking a kid with turquoise hair and a all blue shirt and pants directly.
"Aw man, I can barely concentrate with all these Academy students staring at me, judging me. Oh, what I wouldn't give to already be enrolled in the school like them." The boy stated to himself.
"Last call of Academy applicants. If you have not checked in for your exam, please do so now." The intercom stated.
Outside the man minding the check-in looked at his watch.
"Well ladies, that's it. Mark all the no-shows as no-shows." The man stated as things were about to close down.
"WAIT!"
"HOLD ON!" Two voices shouted as Bianca and Jaden pulled themselves up, leaves on their heads.
"You can count Jaden Yuki and Bianca Kaiba as present just as long as we don't lose our grip." Jaden said.
"Running rather late, aren't we Ms. Kaiba?" The man asked.
"Blame daddy for taking too long with my damn outfit." Bianca grumbled as the three manning the desk shook their heads before going over to help the two of them up to clock them in.
Inside the dome, duels were still going on as the turquoise haired boy wiped his forehead.
"We just made it." Bianca said as she and Jaden made their way over.
"Yeah, look at them go!" Jaden grinned as we cut down to a duel currently going on.
"Alright, new guy. Multiple choice. You got two monsters staring you down do you, A.) Throw in the towel, B.) Beg for mercy or C.) Run home to mama!" The proctor asked.
"I'll go with D.) None of the above!" The kid stated as he pressed a button on his duel disk revealing Ring of Destruction.
"A trap?!" The proctor asked, shocked.
"Exactly. You see, with Ring of Destruction I can destroy any monster on the field and we both lose life points equal to that monster's attack points." He explained as the monster exploded when the ring surrounded his monster's neck destroying it, costing the proctor the duel.
"Clever move applicant, welcome to the academy." He grumbled.
"Thank you, oh wise proctor." The kid said, bowing.
Up in the stands a couple of kids were talking, one new girl and three familiar faces
"Wow that guy's pretty good eh Chazz, Edna?" One of them asked.
"Guess the rumors about him being some sort of wiz kid are true eh Chazz, Edna?" The other also asked.
"He's a punk." Chazz scoffed.
"We went to Duel Prep School for three years. We're ready for the academy. These kids don't know what they're getting into, but they'll learn the hard way. The Princeton way, eh bro?" Edna smirked.
"Took the words right out of my mouth, sis." Chazz said as they fist-pumped.
Back with Jaden and Bianca, the two were talking to the little guy.
"Man, I haven't seen someone tear it up since daddy." Bianca commented.
"Yeah, Bastion Misawa. They say he got the highest written score out of all us applicants." The kid stated, shaking his head. "Only one other came close and it was down to the wire." He added as Bianca simply whistled, causing Jaden to smirk.
"Still, I just barely passed." Jaden commented.
"Yeah the same, my name's Syrus by the way, nice to meet ya. I kind of get test anxiety, I don't know how I won my match." Syrus commented.
"So you're in!" Jaden said, clapping him on the back.
"Bianca and I will be in too right after we win our duels!" He grinned.
"Wait, you two haven't dueled yet?" Syrus asked.
"Nope!" Jaden grinned.
"Then you two might have a problem. I think this was supposed to be the last one." Syrus explained.
Back over at the proctor's table, one of the guys out front approached the head teacher who was about to leave.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but two more applicants have arrived to take their exams Mr. Crowler." He stated.
"Did you just call me Mr.?" Crowler asked.
"I'm sorry, I'm new here Mrs.-" He started before Crowler cut him off.
"I have a PHD in dueling, I've earned the title Doctor thank you. Now tell the truants they will just have to come back next year." Crowler said.
"Uh Dr. Crowler, one of them I can see, but with the other one do you really want Mr. Kaiba down your throat?" The man asked.
"Why would...oh." Crowler stated, realizing what he meant.
"Come on Doctor Crowler, we've got time for two more." One argued.
"Yes, let's give these duelists their shots." Another argued.
"LATE IS RUDE!" He angrily shouted.
"I have no time for slackers." He said before his phone went off and he answered it.
"Hello, and who may I ask is-" He started.
"It's Sheppard." The voice said.
"Ah Chancellor Sheppard." Crowler stated nervously.
"Just got off the phone with Mr. Kaiba and decided to give you a call. Wouldn't want a repeat of last year." He said as Crowler sweat dropped. "When you cut a third of our student applicants, one of which happened to be the son of Yugi Muto for some ridiculous reason. What was it? Calling you Mr. or Mrs. Whatever, just make sure everyone gets a fair shot." Sheppard said, before hanging up.
"Absolutely." He said, closing his phone.
"Furry chinned windbag." Crowler growled, looking around.
"Doesn't he realize there are enough talent-less flunkies at this academy? But he's the boss. If he wants to give this duelist a duel, fine." He snapped, slowly getting up.
"Excuse me gentlemen, I will be right back." He explained, slowly walking away.
"But who will their dueling proctor be and what exam decks will we use?" He asked.
"Oh leave that to me." He said with a smirk, pulling out a phone, dialing a number and talking to someone.
Back with Jaden and Bianca
Bastion sat down.
"Not bad, Bastion!" Bianca grinned as he looked back and nodded.
"Thank you." He simply said.
"From the looks of it, you might be the third best duelist here." Jaden grinned as Bastion looked back.
"Jaden Yuki and Bianca Kaiba, please report to Exam Field four." The intercom said.
"That's us. Wish us luck." Jaden grinned.
"Hey, wait a moment." Bastion said.
"If I'm third, who's first and second?" He asked as Bianca smirked.
"You're looking at them. Come on, Jay." She said with a smile.
"Wow, they're so sure of themselves. I wonder if they're really that good." Syrus commented.
"They'll need to be. Look who they're dueling." Bastion said.
"Well uh, Jaden Yuki and Bianca Kaiba, I'm Doctor Vellian Crowler, Department Chair of Techniques here at Duel Academy and this is Professor Abnus Achlys current second in line of the department I just mentioned here at Duel Academy." Crowler stated.
"Whoa, two department chairs?" Bianca gasped.
"From how you were dressed, Bianca and I thought you two were some weird academy mascot like a pair of majorettes or cheerleaders. Ha ha." Jaden laughed, rubbing the back of his neck as the two growled in annoyance.
Up in the stands, a group of students were looking on.
"You know, now that he mentions it." One trailed off before the others trailed off.
"These two have some mouth on them, huh Chazz, Edna?" The others asked as the two Princeton's growled.
"To best arms!" Crowler stated as the two activated their fancy duel disks drawing their first five cards.
"Yo that's pretty sweet teach, how do Bianca and I get one of those cool, blue duel blazers?" Jaden asked as Abnus spoke.
"Oh, a lot of hard work and extremely high marks." He explained.
"But you first have to get into Duel Academy. Something me and my apprentice will make sure doesn't happen. I'll come up with a excuse for Mr. Kaiba later, but I'll deal with it when the time comes." Crowler muttered to himself.
"Well, we're ready!" Bianca grinned at the two.
"SO LET'S DUEL!" All four duelists shouted as the life point counters shot up.
Bianca Kaiba: 4000 LP
Abnus Achlys: 4000 LP
Jaden Yuki: 4000 LP
Vellian Crowler: 4000 LP
"Let's do this!" Bianca shouted, drawing her first card and nodded.
"Nice. Alright, first things first I'm going to set one card face down." She said as she placed a card in the spell and trap zone.
"Might wanna try and say "throw down a face down" in the future Bianca, it sounds cooler." Jaden grinned.
"You know, I might try that in the future. Thanks Jay." Bianca grinned.
"Anytime, pal." He laughed.
"Next up. Maiden with Eyes of Blue. IT'S SHOW TIME, BABY GIRL!" Bianca shouted, slapping the card onto the field as a strange maiden garbed in a very weird outfit with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon designed on it appeared on the field.
Maiden with Eyes of Blue [0/0]
"Alright then, from there I'll call it a turn. Jaden, you're up first before our teachers." Bianca stated.
"Right, here goes!" Jaden stated, drawing his next card.
"Sweet, I'm going to summon Elemental Hero Avian in defense mode." He stated as some strange winged creature emerged from the card before bending down and crossing his arms.
Elemental Hero Avian [1000/1000]
"I'll also throw down a face down!" Jaden said with a smirk and rubbed his nose.
"Alright, get your game on, teach!" He replied with a smirk.
"Yes, yes very good you two." Crowler said as he and Abnus drew their next cards.
"Don't tell us what to do." He growled.
"After all, since Abnus and I are using our own personal decks rather than one of those test ones we will be calling all the shots, we will be sending those two home in no time." Crowler chuckled to himself.
"Interesting opening moves." A blonde-haired girl in the stands stated looking down as the teachers were setting up their next move.
"Don't underestimate that girl's opening monster, Alexis." A voice came from behind her as a rather serious-looking duelist approached.
"What do you mean Zane?" Alexis asked.
"Just watch. If she's really the daughter of Seto Kaiba, we're about to see two legendary monsters today." Zane stated.
"Alright. For my first move I'll set three cards face down. Next up, come forth Silent Magician LV4." He stated as a strange, white magician appeared on the field as Bianca adjusted herself with a smirk.
'A magician deck, huh? Well daddy, let's see if I can succeed where you failed more than a few times.' She said to herself.
Silent Magician LV4 [1000/1000]
"Now Silent Magician LV4, attack that pathetic excuse of a monster. SILENT BLAST!" Abnus shouted as Silent Magician let loose a blast of energy launching it towards the Maiden.
"Big mistake teach! Effect activate!" Bianca shouted as suddenly the Maiden switched to defense position and a barrier came up, blocking the blast as the students look on in awe before the blast dissipated.
"So you stopped the attack, applicant. It's gonna take more than that to win today." He said as Bianca let out a Kaiba-like smirk.
"You know, for a proctor you fell into a obvious trap. You see, it didn't just stop your attack. You activated it's special ability." Bianca said with a small grin.
"I did what?" Abnus asked in confusion.
"As I expected." Zane stated, looking down from the stands with Alexis.
"What do you mean, Zane?" She asked.
"If I'm right, we're about to see one of two legendary dragons from Yugi Muto's time." He explained.
"Now thanks to her second effect. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the one, the only!" She stated.
"Oh, just move on with it!" Abnus snapped.
"Party pooper." Bianca pouted.
"Come forth, MIGHTY BLUE-EYES WHITE DRAGON!" She shouted as a bright light shot out of her deck before a beautiful white dragon with blue eyes emerged on the field with a loud roar towards Abnus who strangely...did not seem phased.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon [3000/2500]
"Humph. Very well, I'll end there. Crowler." Abnus said as Crowler nodded and looked at his hand before drawing.
"For this first move I think I'll start nice and easy. I choose to play the spell card, Confiscation." Crowler stated, placing it into his duel disk.
"Okay, so what's it do?" Jaden asked.
"What it does is allow me to take a look at your hand and toss one of your cards into the graveyard at the cost of 1000 life points." Crowler explained as Jaden's hand shined and the card's images appeared in front of him.
"Oh yes, I remember some of these from back when I was a naive rookie." Crowler stated as Jaden growled.
"Monster Reborn to the graveyard." He declared, sending said card to the graveyard.
Jaden Yuki: 4000 LP
Vellian Crowler: 3000 LP
"Next, I'll place two cards face down." Crowler declared, placing two cards in the spell and trap zone before revealing one last card.
"Last but not least I play Heavy Storm. For our duel, Jaden it destroys every other spell and trap card that is out on the field." He smirked as the wind blew, destroying his traps and Jaden's.
"Whoopsie, did you forget you had two traps yourself?" Jaden asked, causing him to chuckle.
"Now now, you must not speak out of turn young scholar." Crowler chuckled as dark smoke appeared across the field.
"What's happening?" Jaden questioned.
"Nothing's happening, not yet. But that's about to change." Crowler said as two tokens suddenly emerged.
"Uh, can someone tell me what's going on?" Syrus asked.
"The trap card that Dr. Crowler just played is called Statue of the Wicked. It summons a vicious token monster when destroyed. That's why he played Heavy Storm." Bastion explained.
"A card that strong can't be in one of the test decks. Crowler must be using his own." One Obelisk Blue stated.
"Then this is over. No applicant can defeat experts like Dr. Crowler and Professor Abnus."
"I think I'm going to enjoy watching the professor mop the floor with our mouthy little friends there." Chazz grinned.
"I only wish he treated all the other second-rate duelists that applied here the same way." Edna added.
"What a pair of elitist snobs. I understand the new girl since she's the daughter of the owner, but that other kid is a amateur and Crowler is using his very best cards." Alexis growled.
"You're too soft Alexis. I just hope we get to see that legendary monster Crowler has in that deck of his." Zane commented.
"Ready for your next lesson?" Crowler asked.
"You bet. I can't remember the last time learning was this fun." Jaden grinned.
"Yes well, I'm quite the excellent teacher thank you. NOW I SACRIFICE MY TWO WICKED TOKENS TO SUMMON ANCIENT GEAR GOLEM!" Crowler shouted as suddenly a giant golem made out of gears appeared on the field as the crowd gasped.
Ancient Gear Golem [3000/3000]
"Now now, I hope you're not too scared of my legendary Ancient Gear Golem." Crowler smirked.
"No way. I've always wanted to take one on." Jaden chuckled with a smirk as the students gasped.
"Either Jaden's brave or he's nuts!" Syrus shouted.
"He's staring down that legendary monster like he doesn't have a care in the world. I guess youth and inexperience have it's benefits eh Alexis?" Zane asked.
"Give it a rest Zane. At least the kid's showing some backbone." Alexis commented.
"If Professor Abnus gets that magician evolved there won't be much to show after this." Zane commented.
"Now Golem attack! Mechanized Melee!" Crowler ordered as the fist collided with Avian, destroying it.
"Oh man. Jaden's monster didn't stand a chance. It's defense points were way too low." Syrus groaned.
"And it's about to get a whole lot worse. See when Golem attacks a monster in defense position, the difference between his attack points and the defending monster's defense points is dealt to the opponent as damage." Bastion explained.
"But that would mean Jaden's life points are about to take a hit!" Syrus shouted as the golem's fist collided with Jaden taking 2000 life points.
Jaden Yuki: 2000 LP
Vellian Crowler: 3000 LP
"And with that I'll end my turn!" Crowler said as Bianca drew her card and looked at it.
"Oh hey there Kuri-Phantom!" She grinned as it appeared next to her in spirit form.
"Yeah just a duel to enter the academy. No big deal." She said as the little guy let out a "KURI!"
"Now let's go and see what we can do. BLUE-EYES! WHITE LIGHTNING ATTACK!" Bianca shouted as Blue-Eyes let loose a huge blast as Abnus smirked.
"Reveal face down! MAGIC CYLINDER!" He shouted as her eyes widened.
"OH NO!" She cursed to herself as the blast entered the cylinder before being redirected, hitting Bianca's life points.
Bianca Kaiba: 1000 LP
Abnus Achlys: 4000 LP
"Ha ha don't feel bad. This is the top dueling school in the country." Crowler commented towards the two with a smirk while Abnus shrugged.
"Some people just aren't cut...out." He stated before trailing off after hearing Bianca and Jaden laughing.
"Damn. When daddy said he brought in the best he wasn't kidding. You two really know your stuff. I CAN'T fail this exam now I wanna come here." She grinned.
"Right there with ya sister!" Jaden grinned as the two professors growled.
"Can't they take the hint?! They will not be allowed to pass this exam and they certainly will not be allowed to make a mockery out of mine and my apprentice's deck." Crowler growled to himself.
"Alright, for my move I summon Kuri-Photon in defense mode!" Bianca shouted, placing the card onto her duel disk as a Kuriboh with dragon claws, wings and horns appeared on the field with a KURI cry.
Kuri-Phantom [300/200]
Alexis chuckled as the other girls watching squealed over the little guy's cuteness.
"Another to the Kuriboh line I see. That little fella has quite the family." She chuckled.
"Indeed, but something tells me there's a reason Bianca put it in her deck. The Kaiba's aren't known to put cards in their deck just because they can." Zane commented.
"Very true, even Mr. Kaiba kept weaker cards in his deck." Alexis agreed.
"Jaden!" Bianca called out, snapping Jaden out of his thoughts.
"Alright, I'll summon Winged Kuriboh in defense mode." Jaden called out as suddenly a strange, winged version appeared on the field with Kuri Kuri!
Winged Kuriboh [300/200]
Suddenly, the crowd would see Kuri-Phantom tackle Winged Kuriboh in a hug causing Bianca to let out a chuckle.
"Aw that's adorable." Alexis smiled.
"Kuri-Phantom!" Bianca called out as he realized what he did and blushed, zooming back over.
"It's alright little guy, you can see him after we win this duel." She said as Kuri-Phantom puffed up and nodded.
"Now that this little fuzz-show is over, let's continue. ANCIENT GEAR GOLEM!" Crowler declared.
"Silent Magician!" Abnus shouted.
"ATTACK!" Both shouted as the creatures let out their attacks destroying the Kuriboh brothers.
"Sorry Winged Kuriboh." Jaden muttered.
"Sorry Kuri-Phantom, but your effect is about to kick in, so thank you." Bianca muttered.
Alexis tilted her head.
"Hm, so they have battle effects." She mused, noticing that Jaden and Bianca's life points didn't change, even with Golem's piercing ability.
"Humph, check your gear your life points haven't changed." Crowler muttered.
"My gear's fine. On the turn Winged Kuriboh's destroyed, I take zero damage." Jaden stated.
His eyes widened a bit.
"Nice moves Jaden!" She said with a bit of admiration.
"Humph, how is someone supposed to know an effect as obscure as that and...why is Ms. Kaiba smiling?" Zane questioned.
"Yeah well, Jaden sure knew it." Alexis smirked in response.
Zane humphed.
"As for me, thanks to Kuri-Phantom, you're about to be introduced to the second strongest dragon in my deck." Bianca smirked.
"Second?" Zane questioned in confusion.
"Hm, so she has more than just the legendary Blue-Eyes? Interesting. I really hope she makes it to the academy, because I'd love to test my skills against her myself!" Alexis smiled.
"Not before me. This is getting interesting." Zane commented.
"Easy there, big man. The expression is ladies first." She teased her longtime friend.
"You see, when Kuri-Phantom is destroyed, his cry sends out a call and with it I can call forth one level 8 or lower dragon type monster from my deck so come on out, RED-EYES BLACK DRAGON!" Bianca shouted as suddenly flames shot out behind her before a black dragon with red eyes emerged with a screech.
Red-Eyes Black Dragon [2400/2000]
"Now that's interesting. A Kaiba using the signature card of Joey Wheeler." Zane mused.
"And now, it's time to do something daddy never did." She said before revealing Polymerization.
Zane and Alexis's eyes widened.
"No way." They muttered.
"I activate Polymerization fusing Red-Eyes and Blue-Eyes to form VIOLET-EYES SILVER DRAGON! COME FORTH!" Bianca shouted, slapping the card onto the duel disk as both dragons flew into the sky where the portal was. Suddenly out of the portal emerged a dragon with a silver body, violet eyes and flames coming out of it's wings.
Violet-Eyes Silver Dragon [4000/2500]
"Mind if I piggy-back off that move?" Jaden grinned.
"Go right ahead Jay!" Bianca grinned.
"Alright GO! HERO SIGNAL!" He shouted as a signal like out of a comic book appeared in the sky.
"And that brings out my second Elemental Hero, Burstinatrix!" Jaden yelled as suddenly a woman with flaming orbs in her hands appeared on the field.
Elemental Hero Burstinatrix [1200/800]
"My turn!" Jaden exclaimed, drawing with a grin as he nodded at his hand.
"Alright Kuriboh brothers, this next move's for you. Here goes nothing. First I activate the spell card, The Warrior Returning Alive and return Avian to my hand. Next, I'm going to follow Bianca's lead and activate Polymerization bringing together Avian and Burstinatrix to bring out ELEMENTAL HERO FLAME WINGMAN!" He shouted as suddenly a strange, winged creature with a weird arm appeared on the field.
Elemental Hero Flame Wingman [2100/1200]
"Now with two winged creatures on the field, I think it's only fair to take to the sky. SKYSCRAPER!" Jaden shouted as giant buildings suddenly appeared on the field as both creatures were now in the air with one on a skyscraper.
"NOW VIOLET-EYES SILVER DRAGON! FLAME WINGMAN! ATTACK!" Both yelled in unison.
"VIOLET FLAME INFERNO!" Bianca yelled.
"SKYDIVE SCORCHER!" Jaden hollered.
"Fine by me. This silly little field spell hasn't lowered my Golem's attack points by one point." Crowler taunted.
"You're right. It hasn't lowered your Golem's attack. What it's done is raise my Elemental Hero Flame Wingman's attack by a grand total of 1000!" Jaden declared.
"WAIT! TIME OUT!" Crowler yelled.
"FINISH THIS!" The two shouted as the fist met the golem and the flame hit the magician causing a huge explosion as both creatures went back to their owners.
"This can't be. They were our best cards." Crowler complained as a rock hit him on the head.
"And the superpower of my Wingman. The attack points of that golem are dealt as damage to your life points. Pretty sweet, huh?" Jaden asked.
"No way." Crowler muttered as he and Abnus ran around trying to hold Golem up as it fell on top of them dropping their life points to zero.
Bianca Kaiba: 1000 LP
Abnus Achlys: 0 LP
Jaden Yuki: 2000 LP
Vellian Crowler: 0 LP
"That's game!" Jaden announced with a smirk.
"So Bianca and I passed the test, huh teach?" Jaden asked as they high-five each other.
"Impossible. There's no way these slackers could defeat me and my apprentice at the same time." Crowler growled as Chazz and Edna's eyes widened.
"It must be dumb luck. No way Crowler and Abnus could lose to some flunkies." Chazz stated.
"NICE ONE Bianca!" Jaden exclaimed as they high-five again.
"Likewise." She grinned.
"So what gives? You could've ended that before the fusion." He asked.
"Oh. I might have been showing off for someone I caught eye of when we entered." Bianca said, turning her head to Alexis and letting out a wink. Jaden really didn't get it and let out a laugh. Alexis gave her a friendly wink back, clearly a friendship was already prospering.
"BUT WOOHOO WE ARE IN!" Bianca shouted, jumping up in the air as they waved to the group. Both pull out their Kuriboh cards.
"We're in this together Kuri-Phantom." She smiled as Winged Kuriboh and Kuri-Phantom winked at their partners.
