“Onix. Onix, wake up!”, a voice said, interrupting Onix’s slumber.

Onix mumbled softly and looked up to see Crystal sitting on top of him. He chuckled and said, “You always have to wake me up before 10 o’clock, sis?” Crystal giggled and said, “You dozed off in the ship’s cabin, Onix. We finally made it to the island. Mikey and Jessie are waiting for us.”

“Oh right! We got into Duel Academy, I almost forgot!”, Onix said, sitting up, only to get knocked back down by hitting Crystal square in the forehead. Both him and Crystal yelled out, “Ow!”, rubbing their foreheads. “Alright, let’s not make this a habit, ok?”, Crystal said, crawling off the bed.

“Good idea.”, Onix said, tossing off the blankets of the cabin bed. He walked over to the cabin’s closet and grabbed all his things from it, seeing that Crystal has already taken her stuff out of the space. He walked over to the door, walking out behind his sister and was in awe at everything he saw. “THIS is the Amaria Branch?! It looks more like a giant city!”, he said in exclamation.

“If I had to say so, I’d say that you guys are the new students!”, a voice said beside Crystal and Onix. Crystal looked to her right to see a brunette male wearing the exact same Slifer Red blazer that she and Onix was wearing. “Yeah, that’s right. Who are you?”, Crystal asked. The male chuckled and said, “You’ll learn that once you get to the student assembly. You two are gonna be late.” The male whistled as two staff members walked over to Crystal and Onix, taking their belongings away.

“Hey guys! Let’s go already!”, Jessie said on the pier, both her and Mikey waiting for them. Onix nodded and both he and Crystal left the ship, following the huge crowd of newcoming students to the Assembly Hall. Crystal sat down next to her brother and two new friends, seeing a bunch of people on the stage, but it was two in particular that made her eyes bulge. “Onix, is those two who I think they are?”

“Yes, I was thinking the same thing.”, Onix said, before the familiar male spoke in the mic. “Good morning, everyone! I am Chancellor Yugi Muto, and you are all the best and brightest of all the duelists in the world. This here is my Vice-Chancellor, Seto Kaiba.”, Yugi said. Kaiba looked up from his paperwork and just waved, hearing a bunch of new girl students squeal in excitement. Yugi chuckled and said, “I am proud to say welcome to Duel Academy! As each of you already know, each of you has been assigned to a dorm according by color coded uniforms.”

“OH, so that’s why we are in Slifer Red!”, Crystal said. Onix slapped his forehead when Crystal said that, since even he knew that was the reason why his uniform was red. “Now, I will let Kaiba come up and tell you a few of the things we expect out of all the students here. Kaiba?”, Yugi said, stepping away from the microphone. Kaiba walked up to it and said, “Now, as many of you may think this place is just to learn how to duel, that is where you are wrong. Duel Academy is way more than just dueling. It is life. Duel hard, win, get better and maybe one day you might be as good as me.”

The entire crowd clapped when Kaiba stepped away, still surprised that the founder of Duel Academy was just the Vice-Chancellor here. Yugi returned to the microphone and said, “Alright, students. I once again say welcome to Duel Academy and I hope each of you enjoy your time here. Once you all leave, each of you will be given a PDA to keep track of your duel record, a map of the island, and personal messaging system here. Now, return to your dorms for the welcoming banquets!”, Yugi said, walking off the stage with Kaiba following behind.

All the students muttered as they saw a few staff members pass out the recommended PDAs Yugi mentioned. Once Crystal and Onix received theirs, they immediately registered themselves in them. “Alright, guys. Time to get going.”, Mikey said, looking at the map to the Slifer Red dorm. “We’re in luck. We don’t have to walk far from here.”, Mikey continued. Crystal looked at the map and said, “Looks like I’m in dorm room 426.”

“Same here! What about you, Onix?”, Mikey said. “426 as well. So, looks like the three of us are roommates. How about you, Jessie?”, Onix asked, placing his PDA in his blazer jacket. “428. I’m right across the hall from you three. Sweet, we can hang out all the time!”, she said, her cat tail waving quickly.

“Well, let’s go check out our rooms!”, Mikey said, running up the stairs and out of the Assembly Hall. Onix chuckled as his sister and he left with Jessie, walking out of the campus building to the dorms. The twins was in awe as they saw that the dorms was like a huge condominium skyscraper. “Oh, wow! Kaiba truly is a rich man if he had the funds to build this place!”, Jessie said. “Now I highly doubt Kaiba is that rich. He must’ve had some help, cause this place is insanely high-tech.”, Mikey said, standing at the front door of the dorms.

The four walked into the building, heading directly to the elevator to take them up to the 4^th floor. The elevator stopped and with a small ding, the doors opened wide to reveal a hallway filled with doors. Crystal mumbled to herself as she looked at the numbers on the door, trying to find their rooms. “Let’s see…415….423…ah, here it is! Number 426 for me, Onix, and Mikey. 428 is right there.” Crystal said, pointing to the room across the hall for Jessie. “Once we get everything settled, we should go and scout out the island.”, Onix said. He saw an envelope sticking in the door of the dorm room and opened it, revealing three card keys. “Well, that’s quite handy. These card keys are for us to use to get into the dorm. Talk about extra security.”, he continued, swiping his card into the door, it opening with a silent click. Onix walked in first, the lights in the room automatically coming on. “Oh, wow, look at this!” he said, hoping onto one of the beds. “It’s like a 5-star hotel in here!”, Mikey said, spotting a few mini fridges. Crystal walked over to the third bed and opened the bedside drawer, spotting all of her belongings. “Looks like the school staff already put all our stuff away.”, she said. She spotted a remote in the drawer, and pulled it out, looking it over. She pressed a button on it, and saw a widescreen TV appear out of a panel in the wall.

Onix and Mikey both whistled slightly from the sight of the TV. “Man, that’s one beautiful TV.”, Mikey said, reaching under the bed to find his laptop. He pressed a few keys and was impressed that the room had its own Wi-Fi signal. “Guys, I can clearly say this for all three of us: we are definitely gonna enjoy our time here.”, Mikey said.

“And how!”, Crystal and Onix said. Jessie walked into the room and lied down on Onix’s bed and said, “Alright, these dorm rooms are indeed impressive. What about we go check out the island now?!”

“She’s right! Let’s go see how the island really looks like!”, Onix said. He stood to his feet and walked towards the door, making sure everyone was out before he locked it back.

And so, the gang and I began our tour of the island. We left from our dorms to the second biggest building on the island closest to our own dorm….

“Wow, this place looks interesting. I wonder what this building is?”, Mikey asked. “It’s the Ra Yellow dorms, kid.”, said a person sitting on the front steps. He looked up at Onix and the others with stern blue eyes and said, “You aren’t in my dorms. Who are you?”

“Oh, sorry sir. I’m Crystal. That’s my twin brother Onix, and then our friends Mikey and Jessie. We’re just exploring the island. Who are you?”, Crystal asked politely. “I’m the headmaster of the Ra Yellow dorm. Name’s Yusei.”, the male named Yusei replied.

“Yusei? ….YUSEI FUDO?!”, Mikey exclaimed. “The one and only.”, Yusei said with a small smile. “It seems like you know me.”

“Know you? You’re a legend in the Turbo Dueling world alongside Crow Hogan and Jack Atlas!”, Mikey said, obviously geeking out. “Did someone mention me?”, said another male with blond hair, walking around the dorm building with another man with orange hair. “Oh my gosh, it’s Crow and Jack!”, Mikey squealed, almost about to faint if Crystal didn’t catch him. “What are you two doing here?”

“We work here as Duel Runner driving teachers, kid! Each student here must learn how to ride one.”, Crow said. “Whoa, really? Looks like dueling is definitely gonna get difficult for us, sis.”, Onix said. Yusei chuckled and stood to his feet, patting Onix on his shoulder. “Just relax, Onix. It’s not as hard as it seems. I’ll be teaching you and all the other newcomers in Turbo Dueling, so I hope all of you do well.”, Yusei said.

Onix smiled when Yusei said that. It was when he saw Jessie’s brother Ben walk out of the Yellow dorm was his attention taken away. “Hey, Ben. How are things for you in the dorm?”, Onix asked.

“Hm? Oh, the boy and girl who dueled against Professor Kaiba and won. I am actually surprised you two aren’t in Ra Yellow for actually beating a teacher here.”, Ben said, straightening a tie around his neck. “But, enough of my babble. Everything is fine here, thank you for asking.”

“Heh. Well, since we are now students here, how about you and I have a duel?”, Onix said confidently. “I would love to….is what I would like to say, but unfortunately, I am a bit busy at the moment. But, once we get a little bit more used to life here in the Academy, we will certainly duel, both you and your sister.”, Ben said, walking away from the crowd.

“Oh, trust me, we’ll be ready for it!”, Crystal said. She shook Mikey and he said, “Where to next, guys?”

“How about over there?”, Jessie said, hopping like a rabbit to another part of the island.

Onix: So, we followed Jessie over to where she was hopping to. We all laughed at the child as she was just hopping around without a care in the world. She finally stopped at a building that was exceedingly bigger than the Ra Yellow dorm, breathing heavily from her fun…

“Wonder what this building is?”, Mikey asked. “It looks like a castle!”, Crystal said in awe. That’s when a familiar cold voice was heard saying, “This is the Obelisk Blue dorm! You Slifer rejects aren’t welcome here! ….Oh, you two! The two who beat Prof. Kaiba at the entrance exams.”

Onix and Crystal looked up one level of the building and saw Dash sitting down on the beam of the balcony, looking back down at them with his scarred eye. “Hey, just because you are an Obelisk Blue doesn’t give you the right to call us rejects, Dash!”, Onix said angrily. “Yeah yeah, whatever half-pint.”, Dash said, looking away from Onix. Onix growled and said, “Half-pint!? HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT?! You and me, right now!”

“Easy, short stack. We just started the new term. You should wait until I am good and ready to duel you. And believe me, that will be really soon.”, Dash replied. He crawled off the beam and walked back into his room, closing the balcony door with a silent click. “I don’t like that guy, not one bit.”, Crystal said, looking at her brother.

“It’s alright, sis. He talks big, but I doubt he can back it up. Anyway, where to next, guys?”, Onix said, looking around. There was only a few buildings they had yet to travel to. “How about that one over there?”, Mikey said, pointing at a building in the middle of the island. Onix frowned once he realized the path to that building was closed off by a giant gate, and locked with a lock that resembles the school emblem.

“So, how are we supposed to get in?”, Onix said. “Ya can’t, buddy! That area is off-limits to students!”, a voice said behind the four students. They looked back to see the 3^rd best duelist in the world, Joey Wheeler, staring back at them. There was also a small nekoboy standing beside him, wearing what looked like a tattered labcoat. “No way, Joey Wheeler is here too?!”, Mikey exclaimed. “Yes, da Godfather of Games is always around for a challenge, capsice? Who are you kids?”, Joey said.

“I’m Onix. This is my twin sister, Crystal. And these two are our friends, Mikey and Jessie. Umm….who’s the kid beside you?”, Onix said, pointing directly at the nekoboy.

“KID?! I am not a kid! I’m older than you!”, the neko said. “I’m Prof. Yami Nomura, co-headmaster of the Exodia Purple class!”, Yami continued. “Oops! Sorry, sir. ….Wait, Yami Nomura?”, Onix said.

“Yes, that’s right. What’s wrong?”, Yami said, adjusting the glasses on his face. Onix snapped his fingers and said, “Now I remember! You’re the same Yami that is friends with our mother, Yuki Sairenji-Noroi!” Yami chuckled and said, “Yuki Sairenji-Noroi….that name brings back memories. And now, his children are here at Duel Academy. Things are definitely gonna get interesting around here.”

Joey smiled and said, “Looks like two of our new students know the second strongest headmaster here. That’s amazing.”

Onix nodded, then looked back towards the building across the bridge. “So, what is that building anyway?” Yami walked to the gate and said, “That building is the Grand Mansion. Only the chancellors and the student body president lives there. Also, like Mr. Wheeler said, it is off-limits to students. Only staff members can enter here. If a student does enter that building, they are almost ALWAYS in trouble.”

“Yikes! Then it is in our best interest to try and NOT get into that building.”, Mikey said, backing away from the gate as if he came across a poisonous snake. Yami chuckled softly and said, “Well, you four best return to your dorm. Night is about to fall, and I expect the Slifer Red welcome dinner is getting cold.”

“Oh geez, he’s right! We forgot about the welcome dinner, guys!”, Jessie said. “Then why are we standing here!? Time to beat feet!”, Onix said, running towards the dorm, his sister and friends following closely behind. Yami smiled slightly as he tilted his head behind him. “Those two have grown awfully fast, eh Sanji?”, he said, seeing a wolf lady walk up behind him, her uniform flashing the Exodia Purple emblem.

“Yes, yes they are. Just like you said, Yami: things are gonna be awfully interesting with them around.”, Sanji said. “Oh, drat! I better get going too. I’m the co-headmaster of Slifer Red, after all.”, Joey said, chasing after the kids. Yami and Sanji both chuckled, walking off the other direction to the Exodia Purple dorms.

So, we finally returned back to the Slifer Red dorm. We found an empty table and sat down at it, seeing a huge spread of food in front of us. We were just about to dig in when we saw Joey bust through the cafeteria doors…

“Oh, hi Mr. Wheeler! Are you our headmaster here?”, Mikey said, holding up a chicken leg in his hand. Joey breathed heavily and said, “I only wish. But I am the co-headmaster. He’s the headmaster of Slifer Red.” Joey pointed to the front of the cafeteria, where Onix and Crystal saw the same brunette from the docks. “Hey, it’s Jaden Yuki!”, Mikey said, dropping his chicken.

“….Jaden WHO?”, Onix said with a confused tone. Mikey gasped and said, “Jaden Yuki. He’s the next possible King of Games. He almost won a duel against Yugi Muto when HE graduated from Duel Academy. It is rumored that Yugi, Jaden, and Yusei are the strongest duelists in the world!” Jessie was in awe when Mikey said that. “So, our headmaster is the second-best duelist in the world?”, she asked.

“And soon to be the number 1 duelist in the world.”, said a voice behind her. Jessie looked back and saw Jaden looking right at them. “Welcome to Slifer Red, guys. I’ll be your headmaster while you are here.”, Jaden said. “Yes sir, Prof. Yuki.”, Crystal said. “Whoa, easy with the Prof. Yuki stuff. Calling me Jaden is more than enough!”, Jaden said with a goofy grin. “Now, let’s eat!”, Jaden said, going back to his table.

“Don’t have to tell me twice!”, Onix replied, chomping on a piece of ham.

So, we finally got welcomed to our dorm by the headmaster, Jaden Yuki. Man, the food was delicious! By the time we were done, I was so tired, Mikey had to drag me away from the table, ha-ha! By the time me and him returned to our dorm room, I overheard Crystal speaking to someone on her laptop…

“Yes, Mom, I packed everything I needed. Yes, I made sure to pack more than one set of pajamas.”, Crystal said.

“Ok. How is Onix doing?”, Yuki asked. A loud crash was heard from the laptop. “Raksha! What are you breaking this time?!”

“Sorry, honey! I ran into the dirty dish pile in the kitchen! I’ll clean it up!”, Raksha’s voice yelled out. Crystal giggled as she said, “Same old Dad. Oh, you asked about Onix? Our roommate Mikey is bringing him in now. Apparently, Onix ate too much and it made him sleepy.”

“Like father, like son. Anyway, you two have a good time. And don’t forget to call us if you want to speak to us.”, Yuki said calmly. Crystal nodded and said, “We will. Anyway, it’s time for bed. Talk to you soon, Mom!”

“Goodbye.”, Yuki said, before Crystal closed her laptop, cutting off the connection. She stretched her arms and yawned slightly, before falling back on her bed. She saw Mikey place Onix on his bed and said, “He is heavy!” Crystal giggled again and said, “Well, he tends to work out a lot. Other than being a duelist and a chef, he wants to be like our dad, who loves martial arts.”

“Wow. Sounds like a big deal for him.”, Mikey said, walking into the bathroom to change into his own pajamas. “It is.”, Crystal yawned, leaning over to set the alarm clock between her and her brother. “Let’s see….classes start at 9, so I’ll set it an hour early.”, she said, seeing Mikey hop into his bed.

“Well, g’night Crystal! See you in the morning.”, Mikey said, stuffing his head underneath his blankets. Crystal smiled as she heard Mikey snore softly. She leaned over to Onix’s bed and placed a soft kiss on his lips. “Goodnight, brother. See you in the morning.”, Crystal said. She giggled as she saw a hard erection appeared in the black shorts Onix was wearing, and she turned away, falling fast asleep with a blush on her face.

The first day is over, and everything turned out fine for us all. But tomorrow is another day of adventure and excitement. What will happen? Even I don’t know…
