Yu-Gi-Oh GX

Heart of Darkness

Changes are usually a good thing. But even for Duel Academy? The third year begins and new students join in the fun. But one of them seems more special than the rest. Also more visitors arrive who seem to have their eyes set on Jaden and his friends. Who are these strange individuals?

Chapter 1: Enter Jason

Our story begins on top of Duel Academy… yes, it's what I said, the TOP! Of the most prestigious Dueling school in all of Japan. The second year had gone past along with the summer vacation. It didn't come as a dismay to the students in any way. Duel Monsters was the most loved card game in the entire world, players ranging from pre-schoolers to elderly people… We went off topic…

On top of the dome roof of the academy stands a lone figure, showing none of his facial due to the black hooded cloak that obscured him completely. He looked at the horizon, not seeing it as beautiful or anything in any way. A black circular portal appeared a good few feet behind him, out stepping another figure in a black cloak whose features were also a mystery. He walked up beside the one looking at the horizon.

"Looking at the scenery I see." The emerged person said, his low voice pointing out his obvious gender. "I suppose to a lot of people it would be pretty."

"Yes, I suppose too." The other black hooded person, also a man nodded. "But it's such a shame we can't…" He said, sounding almost sad.

"You are certain this place will end our pain?" The other man asked, not turning to look at his companion.

"Yes, very certain." The other one replied.

"The selected seven?" The other asked.

"Will all arrive soon enough." The other one replied promptly. "Our life of pain and shun will come to an end soon my friend."

"Shall I inform the others?"

"Please do Saïx." The obvious leader nodded. "After all, no one would want to miss this…"

The cloaked man named Saïx walked away from his leader, another portal of darkness appearing before him, disappearing into its depths.

"Let's see if you all are worth the effort of our restoration, especially you, Jaden Yuki."

-

"Alright!" A sudden bellow emanated from within the Slifer Red dorm, the lowest ranked dormitory in all of Duel Academy and also the one with the worst living conditions. That however never bothered the one named Jaden Yuki. "The third year is here! Hey, that even rhymed!"

Jaden Yuki was beyond anyone's doubt the best student in Duel Academy when it came to duelling, but studying and exams were simply not this teen's thing. It could be told since he almost always fell asleep in class, which would explain him still being a Slifer Red student.

"Geez, did Jaden actually get up on time for once in his life?" Wondered Jaden's first roommate Syrus Truesdale. Unlike Jaden, Syrus was not the best duellist in the academy, but he did do slightly better than that of his hyper friend. Syrus's usual loosing however was caused by his lack of confidence.

"You kidding my Sy?" Jaden asked. "Why would I wanna be late for the first day of the third year? I mean, no homework!" This remark made Syrus sweatdrop in response. "I think I'll go wake up Chazz."

Jaden rushed over to the more furnished new wing of the Slifer Red dorm, courtesy of a fellow student Chazz Princeton. But no one except him was allowed to live there except another fellow student and friend Alexis Rhodes, but it was never to happen much to Chazz's denial. Jaden found Chazz fast asleep, with his earplugs in place to almost fully drown out the noises of his three night going Duel Spirits, the Ojama brothers.

"Pulling those things out would feel too boring…" Jaden thought. "Oh, I know…" He grinned. "Bed bouncing!" He yelled and jumped on Chazz's bed, accidentally landing on the gut of the unsuspecting youngest Princeton brother.

Chazz sat up while letting out a guttural yell with his eyes open to their widest due to the extreme pain of having someone jump right onto his stomach.

Jaden jumped away in fear, seeing Chazz's hideous expression until he managed to peep, "Morning Chazz…"

Chazz instantly bolted out of his bed and in the blink of an eye had his hands gripping Jaden's shirt's neck.

"How many times have I told you to cut that out you idiot!!!" Chazz yelled in rage, making Jaden get a smell of his morning breath in the process.

"Whew, didn't brush your teeth did you?" Jaden asked waving his hand in front of his face, looking green in his face.

"I always do Jaden!" Chazz snapped, though in truth he recalled forgetting to take care of his dental cleanliness. "But that's not the point! Are you trying to get me into the intensive care unit or something?!"

"Umm… sorry?" Jaden replied meekly.

Chazz let go of Jaden's shirt, admitting his defeat to Jaden's obliviousness.

"Sometimes I wonder if you're still half asleep or you're just dumb…" Chazz muttered. "Now get out!" He demanded. "The Chazz, needs to freshen up." He spoke, referring to himself in the third person.

"Whatever you say bud." Jaden replied with a grin.

"I'm not your buddy…" Chazz murmured.

Just then the three Ojama brothers appeared, much to Chazz's annoyance.

"So does that mean we're your buddies boss?" Ojama Yellow asked.

"No! Now would everyone stop bothering me!?" Chazz hollered, making the Ojamas instantly disappear with a poof.

Jaden came out of Chazz's dorm, meeting Syrus outside who had a look of confusion on his face.

"What was that all about?" He asked.

"Well you know Chazz, not a morning person." Jaden replied scratching the back of his head.

"I am when you're not around…" Chazz replied when stepping out of his dorm, now wearing his trademark black jacket.

"Oh well, then let's get some grub. I'm starving." Jaden went off topic.

-

After breakfast and meeting up with another friend and roommate Hassleberry, the gang's army jargon speaking fellow, the students gathered up in the school auditorium, waiting for the arrival of the new students.

"Ya think we'll be getting some good newcomers guys?" Jaden asked Syrus and Hassleberry.

"Well it's possible." Syrus replied. "I just hope it won't cause something like what happened last year." Syrus added, referring to the incident with the Society of Light, which almost doomed the entire world hadn't it been for a final duel between Jaden and the corrupted leader of the Society Sartorius.

"Got that right." Hassleberry added.

As the minutes passed, more students arrived and were seated in the auditorium. Within them were two familiar faces, Alexis Rhodes, the so called queen of the Obelisk dorm and the highly analytic Bastion Misawa, both good friend of Jaden.

"Morning fellows. I take it we're excited about the new duellists." Bastion spoke.

"You bet." Jaden replied, "I mean, who wouldn't be?"

"Well, then you're in for a treat Jaden. One of those newcomers arriving here is the current winner of the Industrial Illusion tournament." Bastion explained as he sat down beside Alexis who in turn sat next to Jaden.

"That's true. And what really surprised me was what Pegasus himself awarded him with." Alexis added.

"Some new card I presume?" Chazz asked.

"Not actually new, only by illustration." Bastion replied.

"So spill it, what did he get?" Hassleberry asked interested.

"He…" Bastion had to take a deep breath before continuing. "He was awarded with Blue-Eyes White Dragon."

This elicited gasps from the unknowing duellists.

"You're saying Pegasus awarded him with the most famous dragon-type monster in the world?" Syrus asked.

"Yes, and to top it off, this newcomer uses what I hear is a dragon-user." Bastion added. "I didn't get much info, but in the databank it said so."

"No way! What's this guy's name?" Jaden asked, his urge for a good duel starting to get the best of him.

"I think his name was…" Alexis tried remembering the new miracle duellist's name. "… It was Jason Takanohana."

"What dorm is he in?" Syrus asked.

"He's in Ra-Yellow. I'm not surprised seeing as he scored third best in the entrance exam and won his test duel in six minutes." Bastion however didn't feel threatened. "But it figures. Almost any student here, even the poorest ones can defeat those test decks anytime."

"Well, it proves one thing." Jaden spoke, getting everyone's attention.

"What's that sergeant?" Hassleberry asked, calling Jaden by his given nickname.

"There's no way he could out match me." Jaden said with confidence. This in turn made everyone look at him bewildered.

"Uh, hello? Earth to Jaden!" Chazz spoke. "Does the word 'dragon-master' mean anything to you?"

"Uh… it's in a videogame?" Jaden asked, this in turn making Chazz want to bang his head onto something before he would lash out at Jaden.

"Jaden, dragon-masters are a rare type of person who's mastered the art of using purely nothing but dragon cards. A single type deck when used by the right person probably makes even Aster Phoenix look like a has-been." Bastion explained.

"Then I just gotta duel this guy! Where is he?" Jaden spoke hyperactively, looking in all directions.

"Hello Slacker, he's arriving with the new students." Chazz spoke still annoyed.

"You seem grouchier than usual." Alexis commented.

"So would you if a certain dummy jumped on your gut…" Chazz replied, but suddenly smiled. "But if you want me to stop, then so I will." He said with a shade of red under his eyes.

Just then Chancellor Sheppard, the head of the entire Duel Academy walked in, followed by a large group of students. all dressed in the different three uniforms of Duel Academy. Over half of them all were in Ra-Yellow, then the second biggest group was of course Obelisk-Blue while there seemed to be only twelve Slifer-Red students. Last came in Dr. Crowler, vice chancellor and the head of the Obelisk dorm and Jean Louis Bonaparte, the second vice chancellor.

"Good day students and welcome to the new year with us in Duel Academy." Said Sheppard, speaking into a microphone. "I'm sure you're all eager to carry on with your studies and improve as the greatest duelling minds on the planet. And with me are a fresh new group of fellow students who will be joining us here today. We wish you will help them settle in for their first year with us and greet them kindly." He spoke. "Also to honour our first day, we have decided to hold a little competition to spice up this year."

"A duel I presume?" Bastion wondered.

"Well, sure, what else is there?" Jaden asked.

"Push-up contest?" Hassleberry asked jokingly.

"Now to not keep you waiting Dr. Crowler will be introducing the chosen contestants from our new students and from our old ones, so show them please Dr. Crowler." Sheppard ended passing the mike to Dr. Crowler.

"Thank you Chancellor Sheppard." Dr. Crowler then turned his attention to the students. "First introducing the challenger of our school, the winner of the GX tournament, Chazz Princeton of Slifer-Red!"

Every student then began to cheer. Some male students began to chant "Chazz it up!" in admiration. Chazz in turn felt overly relieved, having been chosen instead of his annoying 'friend' Jaden, who seemed to take all the duels for the academy. Feeling more relaxed now, he stood up from his seat in the auditorium and pumped a fist.

"Alright, so who's the unlucky one who gets to fight the Chazz?" He asked with confidence.

"I wouldn't hold my breath if what Bastion said is true." Syrus thought looking down at the new arrivals.

"And from the new students we have a very talented young man who is the last winner of the Industrial Illusion tournament and was voted most skilled duellist in all of Okinawa, may I introduce Jason Takanohana!" Crowler announced and began to clap.

From the new group of students stepped out a male duellist, probably around sixteen years in age or older. He looked up towards his challenger Chazz, revealing his Cerulean eyes which were once hidden behind spiky light brown bangs, while the rest of his hair was a darker colour and seemed to spiky from the top, reminding Jaden of a main character in a videogame, some Cloud named guy or so. The boy Jason was a Ra-Yellow just like Bastion said and along with the yellow jacket he wore brown pants, black boots and showed a dark red t-shirt underneath the jacket. The way he wore the jacket was unique as his right arm wasn't in the sleeve, rather with was under the jacket, the sleeve hanging down limply. Seeing the boy made many girls, including Alexis's friends Jasmine and Mindy ogle at him in admiration.

"So that's Jason Takanohana…" Jaden thought looking down at the newcomer. "Not only does he look tough, I bet he plays tough too.

"And without further ado, would everyone please report to the arena in ten minutes. Thank you." Dr. Crowler then put away the microphone.

"Okay Jason, we'll see just how good you really are…" Chazz thought looking down at Jason, who in turn looked up at him with a determined gaze.

"It's go time." Jason thought and left the auditorium with the new students.

-

Ten minutes had passed at everyone had gathered in the arena. Chazz and Jason stood face-to-face in the middle of the duelling arena with Dr. Crowler standing there with them.

"Do you guys think that Chazz over there's gonna stand a chance?" Hassleberry asked.

"It's hard to figure. Jason may be an expert when it comes to dragon-type monsters, but Chazz in turn has his own, the Armed Dragons, including Level 10. Its ability allows Chazz to destroy any face up monster the opponent has in attack-mode and since dragons aren't meant to stand a good chance in defense." Bastion figured.

"And let's not forget Chazz's Ojamas. They can wipe the floor with anything with Chazz's Hurricane card." Jaden added, eager to see the outcome of the coming duel.

"Now then after shuffling I want both of you to cut each other's decks so that we can assure this goes fairly." Dr. Crowler said to the challengers.

Chazz and Jason did as they were told. Afterwards they attached their decks to their Duel Disks. The Duel Disk was a revolutionary invention of Kaiba Corp. which took duelling intensity to the highest level since using it created very realistic images of the monster being played.

"Listen up Jason, I don't care if you're new or the Industrial Illusion champ, I'm not gonna go easy on you and don't even think about taking out the Chazz." Chazz threatened.

Jason in turn smiled smugly. "Funny, that's what I was intending to do Chazz." He said, "But how about we just keep it clean and may the best man win eh?"

"Fine, have it your way." Chazz replied, showing his own smug smile. "But don't imagine it happening."

"Alright, now both duellists, prepare for battle!" Crowler announced, the crowd already cheering, most females cheering for the newcomer.

"C'mon Chazz! You can do it!" Jaden cheered.

"We're behind you a hundred percent!" Syrus added.

"Yea!" Hassleberry too added, but was out of words.

"Now, begin!" Crowler shouted.

Chazz and Jason activated the Duel Disks, Jason also throwing down the right side of his jacket, exposing his t-shirt to be sleeveless and he wore a black bracelet around his wrist.

"Duel!" Chazz and Jason shouted.

"Newcomers first, if you please." Jason said as he drew a card. He looked closely at his hand as he added his new drawn card into it. "I summon, Divine Dragon Ragnarok in attack-mode!" Jason attached the chosen card to his Duel Disk, an image of a serpentine dragon appearing on the field. Divine Dragon Ragnarok was a plain monster card with an attack power of 1500. "I'll also play a face-down card and end my turn." Jason announced.

"That's it? Shame." Chazz replied while drawing a card. "I summon X-Head Cannon in attack mode!" Chazz played a machine-type monster with 1800 attack points. "And I'll also play a card face-down. Now I'll attack your dragon with X-Head Cannon! Go!"

X-Head Cannon trained its two shoulder mounted cannons at Jason's dragon and fired two beams from them.

"Don't think so buddy! I activate the trap card Interdimensional Matter Transporter!" Jason said as his trap card was revealed. "Now I can choose one monster on your side and remove it from the game until your turn's end phase."

X-Head Cannon then suddenly disappeared from the game.

"So, anything else you wish to do or is it my turn again?" Jason asked.

Chazz however was not done yet. "I'll activate the spell card Graceful Charity, which allows me to draw three cards…" which he then did, "As long as I discard two. And since one of the two cards I sent to the graveyard was the Spell card Ojamagic, I get my three Ojamas from my deck to my hand. Now I'm done and X-Head Cannon returns on my side."

X-Head Cannon re-materialized in front of Chazz.

"Hey, Chazz is doin' alright down there." Hassleberry said.

"For now." Bastion replied. "Let's not forget Jason has many more powerful cards in his deck. Chazz's monster may have been spared along with his life points, but Jason's sure to catch up."

"My turn." Jason drew a card. "I play down one face down card and summon a personal favourite of mine." Jason smirked as he turned the card's picture to Chazz. "Solar Flare Dragon! Arise!"

Another serpentine dragon appeared on Jason's side of the field. This one looked like it was covered in flames and hot coals and had two horns on the back of its head.

"So what?" Chazz asked. "That thing has only 1500 attack points. My cannon can take it out instantly."

"True, but he does have a trick." Jason replied. "You see, during each of my end phases, you lose 500 life points."

"What?!" Chazz gasped.

"Solar Flare Dragon, go! Solar Schorcher!" Jason commanded, making his dragon blow fire at Chazz, who's life points fell from 4000 to 3500.

However, Chazz could only grin. "Nice trick, but it takes more than that to beat the Chazz. My draw!" Chazz drew a card. "I activate my facedown card, Roll Out! Which allows me to take an appropriate Union monster from my graveyard and equip it to my X-Head Cannon, and I choose my Z-Metal Tank, which I ditched."

Just then the monster Z-Metal Tank appeared, X-Head Cannon then attaching itself on top of it, raising its attack points from 1800 to 2300.

"And then I use the spell card Frontline Base! This allows me to summon a Union monster from my hand during each main phase, and I'll summon Y-Dragon Head!"

A red dragon shaped robot appeared on the field next to the powered up X-Head Cannon.

"And now that all three of them are together, I can fuse them together to form…"

The three creatures then combined together to create a tank with Z-Metal Tank as the bottom, Y-Dragon Head as the midsection and X-Head Cannon as the top. It had 2800 attack points.

"XYZ-Dragon Cannon!"

"Now by sending the three stooges from my hand to the graveyard, I'll destroy every card on your side of the field!" Chazz placed his three Ojamas into the graveyard, much to their dismay. His monster then in turn fired a trio of blasts that sent both of Jason's creatures and his facedown card, revealed to be Ultimate Offering, to his graveyard. This in turn made Jason gasp.

"Now, XYZ-Dragon Cannon! Attack him directly!" Chazz commanded.

Jason got blasted by a triple-shot of lasers, making him cover his face with his bared right arm. His life points in turn dropped from 4000 to 1200.

"C'mon newcomer, is that all you got?" Chazz asked, confident on winning the duel.

"Don't even think about it buddy!" Jason snapped. "My draw!" Jason drew a card. "Excellent, I play the spell card Trickster's Palm! Now you must choose a card in my hand. As long as it's not a monster that's on my field, I can summon it directly no matter what, but if it is a monster on my field or a non-creature card, it goes to the graveyard. Now choose Chazz." Jason held up his cards, revealing to have three in his hand.

Chazz felt like sweating. If Jason had a powerful monster in his hand, he could be in trouble, or if he accidentally choose a weaker creature which Jason would then tribute to summon a stronger one.

"Uh… the left one!" Chazz said.

"Alright! I summon Luster Dragon #2 in attack mode!" Jason summoned a decent dragon to his field which had 2400 attack points, not even close to Chazz's XYZ-Dragon Cannon.

"Whew, I was almost worried there for a second." Chazz whispered. "Sorry, but that thing won't stand a chance against my XYZ-Dragon Cannon."

"That's what you think." Jason replied. "I activate the equipment spell card Dragon Nails, giving my Luster Dragon #2 500 more attack points, adding up to 2900!"

A pair of steel claws materialized in Luster Dragon #2's hands. Now Chazz really began to sweat, seeing as one of his best card's was about to be pulverized.

"Luster Dragon #2, attack XYZ-Dragon Cannon with Emerald Blaze!" Jason commanded, making his dragon blow a blast of white flames at XYZ-Dragon Cannon, making it explode and making Chazz loose 100 life points, now having 3400.

"See what I meant Jaden? Jason is a tough opponent. In just one turn he took out Chazz's Cannon." Bastion said.

"I'll also play a face down and call it a turn. Now how will you fight my super-powered Luster Dragon #2 now that he has Dragon Nails equipped Chazz?" Jason asked.

"How's about like this?" Chazz asked drawing a card. "I play V-Tiger Jet in attack mode," Chazz summoned a basic machine monster with 1600 attack points. "And with Frontline Base still in play, I play the W-Wing Catapult, the second last card in my hand. And by fusing them together I get VW-Tiger Catapult!"

Chazz's two monster combined into a large fighter jet-like monster with the top of it being V-Tiger Jet. It's attack power was 2000.

"And by discarding this card from my hand, I can switch the modes of one of your monsters, so I'll switch your Dragon to defence mode, meaning it stands no chance to VW-Tiger Catapult." Chazz explained as he discarded his card, making Jason's Luster Dragon #2 switch to a defensive position, having only 1400 defence points. "VW-Tiger Catapult! Attack Luster Dragon #2 now!"

Jason's Dragon was completely obliterated by a rain of missiles fired by Chazz's monster. Luckily since his Dragon was in defence-mode, he took now damage.

"I activate the trap card Call of the Haunted and bring back Divine Dragon Ragnarok in attack-mode." Jason announced, his weaker dragon appearing back on the field.

"Alright, I'll play down a facedown and let you have a go." Chazz said.

Jason drew a card. "I first play Pot of Greed, which lets me draw two cards. Then I summon Lord of Dragons in attack-mode."

Jason summoned an infamous spellcaster-type monster which negated all abilities aimed at dragon-type monsters.

"Then I play the spell card Flute of Summoning Dragon! With this I can special summon two dragon-type monster from my hand. And I choose Luster Dragon and Des Volstgalph!" Jason summoned two dragons, one with 1900 attack points and the other with 2200.

"What?" Jaden wondered as the two dragons materialized. "Des Volstgalph?"

"Unfortunately yes." Bastion said. "One of Jason's most powerful cards."

"Des Volstgalph can deal 500 points of damage to Chazz from destroying a monster." Alexis explained. "If he takes out Chazz's VW-Tiger Catapult and then attacks Chazz directly, he's a goner."

"So Chazz, about time you surrender?" Jason asked.

"The Chazz is not a quitter, thank you." Chazz replied boastingly.

"Have it your way!" Jason yelled. "Des Volstgalph, attack VW-Tiger Catapult with Crimson Pyro!"

Des Volstgalph's sudden fireball blast decimated VW-Tiger Catapult, making Chazz lose first 200 life points and then 500 life points, dropping them down to 2700.

"You fell for it! I activate the Grave of Enkindling trap card!" Chazz revealed his facedown card. "Now I bring back VW-Tiger Catapult in defence mode! Now none of your dragons can attack without hurting you."

"Don't forget I must summon one as well, also in defence mode, but it doesn't matter, for I chose Solar Flare Dragon! Meaning you take another 500 damage!" Jason retorted.

Chazz was once again burned by Solar Flare Dragon's fire breath and fell down to 2200 life points.

"Whoa, Chazz is really hanging on there!" Jaden spoke amazed.

"Even so if he managed to survive that onslaught, his defence won't stand up to Des Volstgalph. It'll attack next turn and then it's over." Bastion said.

"Okay, time to turn up the heat!" Chazz said drawing his next card. "I play Pot of Greed and draw two cards." Chazz looked at his hand and instantly knew what to do. "I play Level Modulation! Which lets you draw two cards and allows me to summon a Level monster no matter what the effect, and I choose Armed Dragon LV10!"

Chazz summoned his most powerful monster when it came to brutality and destruction. It had 3000 attack points an ability which was activated by discarding a card from his hand in order to destroy all monsters on the opponent's side that were in attack-mode. However, since it was summoned with Level Modulation, it couldn't attack or use the ability yet.

"Then I play a facedown at that'll do for now. I'd really like you to try and get through my Armed Dragon, if you can that is." Chazz boasted.

Jason grimaced in annoyance. "You'll pay for that Chazz!" Jason drew a card. "I too play Level Modulation! So you draw two cards and I summon…" As Jason placed the chosen creature onto his Duel Disk, taking up the last space on it, a black flame emerged form nowhere and began to grow.

"What's that?" Syrus wondered.

"I dunno, but I can bet it won't be pretty." Jaden remarked.

"Arise Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8!" Jason shouted, making the flame materialize into a frail bird shape. The flame doused and it revealed itself as a bird-like dragon with copper brown armor. It screeched angrily at Armed Dragon and got ready to fight.

"I may not be able to save this monster from destruction Chazz, but when it takes out your dragon, you're wide open and I win!" Jason yelled. "Horus, attack Armed Dragon with Black Fire Blast!"

"Here comes my last stand! I activate Ring of Destruction! Now I'll attach it to Lord of Dragons, destroying it and dealing both of us 1200 points of damage!" Chazz announced , showing his facedown.

"Wait, but the means…" Jason gasped, remembering he only had 1200 life points and since Lord of Dragons was not a dragon, he would take the hit.

"That's right! You lose!" Chazz yelled as the Ring of Destruction was attached onto Lord of Dragons, which struggled to get it off, but exploded soon after, dropping Chazz's life points to 1000 and Jason's to 0.

"And the winner is our proud and beloved Chazz Princeton!" Crowler yelled in excitement.

"Alright! Way to go Chazz!" Jaden cheered.

"I-I can't believe my own eyes…" Bastion said in awe. "Chazz won against Jason Takanohana."

"Well, like they always say, anything's possible." Hassleberry complimented.

"Alright, from the top!" Chazz yelled to the audience.

"Chazz it up!" The crowd yelled in unison.

"I can't believe it… I lost… with my best deck…" Jason groaned, kneeling on the floor, his eyes shadowed by his hair. "I lost…" A more aggressive sounding groan came, but it fell upon deaf ears.

"Congrats Chazz, you beat a champion!" Jaden said, having ran up to Chazz, closely followed by his other friends.

"What? Did you actually doubt the Chazz?" Chazz asked.

"Well at first I sort of did, but I guess you've proven me wrong at least once. So sorry about that." Bastion said.

"Yea, I guess, maybe you do have potential." Alexis said.

"Naturally." Chazz nodded proudly. "Want to go out with me as congrats?" Chazz asked.

"Keep dreaming Chazz." Alexis snapped, turning her back to Chazz, making the poor victor sob.

"Hey, you alright over there?" Jaden asked looking at Jason, who still knelt down.

"I lost…" Another aggressive whisper came from Jason. He then suddenly looked up at Jaden, not looking aggressive at all.

"Hey, you did great out there." Jaden complimented the dragon master. "Hadn't Chazz played that trap, you would have won."

Jason smiled as he stood up and brushed a strand of hair out of the way of his eyes. "I guess the pressure got to me. Ever since I won the Industrial Illusion tournament I've been sort of under pressure with everyone talking about me and my Blue-Eyes." He explained, showing to have a calm friendly voice.

"That would pressure anyone. But hey, it's understandable." Jaden extended his hand. "I'm Jaden Yuki, nice to meet 'cha."

Jason took hold of Jaden's hand and the two shared a friendly handshake.

"Jason Takanohana, but I guess you knew that." Jason replied. "Hey Chazz!" He called out to the victor of the match. "That was a good game, up for a rematch sometime?"

Chazz looked at Jason and smirked. "Yea, whatever. Just remember I still won't go easy on you even if you lost to me once already." He said and walked off.

"Don't mind Chazz, he's stubborn, but bearable once you get used to him." Said Alexis.

"But Jason, now that you're here, what say we help you settle in?" Jaden asked with a grin.

Jason smirked. "That would be nice." He replied.

"Alright, then welcome to Duel Academy!" Jaden said, giving his newfound friend a pat in the back.

Chazz looked back at Jaden and everyone else and sighed.

"Another add to the team…" He thought.

Just then the three Ojama brother appeared.

"Boss, why didn't you use us!?" Ojama Yellow asked in hysteria.

"Yea, we deserve to be introduced too." Ojama Green added.

Chazz growled in annoyance. "I wanted to make one good impression at least okay?"

"Sure boss, we know you can't stand keeping us a secret can you?" Ojama Yellow asked, making Chazz groan.

-

"It appears the sixth selected is here." Said Saïx.

"About time too, I was getting fed up with all this waiting." Said another black hooded man, sounding younger than Saïx.

"Oh can it Demyx, you're not the only one who had to wait." Said another hooded figure, this one sounding female.

"Yes, we're all depressed over the loss of our essence, but we must maintain patience." Said a more robust hooded man.

"With the sixth selected, you suppose it's time to get on with the plan?" Said yet another black hooded man.

"Indeed it is." Said yet again a hooded figure. "I've been studying the heart of the sixth selected. He may be just what we need to collect the first six and then make him give up his own willingly."

"What are you planning Vexen?" Asked the robust robed figure.

The man now identified as Vexen pulled down his hood, exposing himself as an over forty-year old man with long, light brown hair.

"The heart is a mysterious essence dear friend. Of light and darkness, should the already growing darkness be stirred, who knows what fun may come out of this." Said Vexen, grinning almost sadistically at the scheme moving through his mind. "This Jason is just what we need to accomplish our goals…" With that, he let out a high pitched laugh, making a few around him sweatdrop.

"Dang it, don't wreck my ear drums, I'm the musical guy, remember." The one earlier called Demyx complained.

A/N: I decided to try this just to please reader who don't like mass-gore. Yes, this is a sort of crossover with Yu-Gi-Oh GX and KH2, but it's gonna have more twists. I won't work on this too eagerly, but I should have another chapter done at some point. Keep on rocking.
