Equestrian Elseworlds: The Dueling Drake

Yuki Residence, Domino City, Japan

Meanwhile in Spike's room....

"Well, to introduce ourselves better, I am Burstinatrix, and I come from the city known as-" the female Warrior was saying, until she was cut off by our cute well-known Spellcaster, Mana.

"Skyscraper. Anyways, I am Mana and I come from Ancient Egypt, but then I lived in the Village of the Spellcas-"

"Really?! You cut me off!"

"Well you got boring!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!" This was the spark to an argument that only 8 year-olds would have, but apparently a 17 year-old magician and a 25 year-old hero were defying that statement.

"QUIET!" Yubel exclaimed, immediately silencing the two. "You'll have to excuse them, they're idiots."

"Hey!" The other two exclaimed. It was at this moment where Spike realized that these Duel Spirits were the spitting image of the Dazzlings: First was Yubel, the balance and by the looks of it, the leader. Then we had Burst, who was the serious-looking one of the three. Last but not least was Mana, who was the happy one that could make anybody's day better. Craving for tacos? Perhaps not.

"*Laughs.* My god, you two are funny!" Spike said.

"No we're not!"

"Anyways, *chuckles.* let's get everything ready for tomorrow." As soon as he finished his statement, the four began gathering personal belongings, as well as hygienic products. Yubel, on the other hand, had vanished with the Dragon-blood's duel disk.

The next day...

With his backpack on, Spike waved goodbye to Jaden and his mother. He began walking and wondering how life at the academy would be, until his watch buzzed, signaling ten minutes left in order to reach the tower where the helicopter awaited.

"GET TO THE CHOPPER!!!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, running as fast as he could, followed by his duel spirit friends. The group reached the tower just in time, and once he reached the entrance he saw a wide amount of students, which was quickly silenced by a man on the intercom:

"Good morning students-to-be, welcome to Kaiba Corps. Several helicopters will arrive, and you will get on the choppers by the starting letter of your last name, meaning that those whose last name begins with the letter 'A' will get to the helicopters in 10 minutes. At this rate you will all be at the academy in 30 minutes time, and we expect all of the students to be at the island by 10:00 A.M. Until then, have a nice day."

Time had passed, until...

"Attention, to the students whose last name begin with the letter S, the helicopters are prepared for takeoff. Please exit the building, and have a nice day." It was at this moment where he was getting nervous, for his journey alone (to put it like that) began, and he got onto the chopper. Time had passed, and he now sat in a room where the results would be shown.

"And now, we will proceed to show the results of your entry exams," a voice on the intercom said.

With this, a screen turned on, showing a list that was divided into three colors, and each one of those colors had several different numbers. Spike looked down at his paper slip, then he looked at the screen: student #159 was shaded in red.

"Now, proceed to your respective rooms to get your blazers, and then walk to the classroom to hear the speech by our beloved Chancellor," the intercom voice said, signaling the exit of the students.

"Slifer Red, interesting..." Spike said, looking down at his white-and-red blazer.

"I must say it looks quite nice on you," Burst said.

"I agree with her on this one," Yubel added.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Mana exclaimed with joy, bringing out a laugh from the other three. The group went on their way, and reached the auditorium a few minutes later. There stood a man who was entering the third age, and he was looking at the students with a smile on his face.

"Welcome to Duel Academy, where the best students from the continent gather to study about the wonders concerning the well-known game Duel Monsters. I am Chancellor Sheppard, principal of this academy. I expect the best from all of you this year." The chancellor took a breath, and then continued.

"Once you exit this room, you will each receive a PDA, or a Personal Digital Assistant. This gadget is good for schedules, notes, and even sending text and/or voice messages to other students if you have their e-mails. Have a nice day, and I will see you on the next occasion." The screen turned off, and the students began to exit the room, receiving a PDA each and finding the location of their dorms.

"Slifer Red, let's see what you're made of," Spike said, following the directions given on the PDA until reaching the Slifer Red dorm, which looked more like a rest stop than a dorm.

"Well, this wasn't what I expected, but beggars can't be choosers." He walked over to the building, and he saw a tall, slender man with long black hair.

"Hello there, who are you?" The man asked.

"I am Spike Solaris, new student in Slifer Red."

"Pleasure to meet you, I am Professor Lyman Banner, and I am the headmaster for the Slifer Red students."

"Well, I guess I should head to my room to arrange my belongings."

"Let me get the list and I will show you to your room." The two walked to the headmaster's room and the adult grabbed a sheet, walking out of the room with Spike behind him. They reached the room that was on the far end of the second floor, and Banner opened it. The room was made for one person, and it had a simple bed, a desk and a stove with a few pots, as well as a small fridge.

"Welcome to the single life," Spike said with a laugh.

"*Laughs.* Well young one, it is a simple bedroom, not as grand as the bedrooms in the  Obelisk dorms, but it is enough."

"I must agree with the last part of the statement, given the structure of the dorms, but this is much better than what I had in a past life."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll explain later." With a smile, Spike saw how the professor went to what seemed like the Slifer Red cafeteria. The protagonist entered his room, and in half an hour, Spike had his belongings arranged.

"Now that you have unpacked, you may be wondering where your Duel Disk is Spike," Yubel said.

"Well, yes."

"Here it is," Yubel said, with a smile. It was the duel disk he had received when he learned from Jaden, but the silver part was now black, and the blue part was now a red that was shaded with black, leaving the bright red arrows untouched.

"By Voorhees... I love it!" Spike exclaimed, smiling. He put it on, then he checked himself in a small mirror.

"Now that is what we call a Duel Disk," Burst said, with a smile.

"How did you even do this?" The former drake said, looking at the trio.

"Well, it took some time for us to apply the paint on the metallic part. As for the glass, we had to melt it and add gold chloride in order to give its color," Mana said, with a smile.

"Thanks, now we can consider ourselves ready to take on the campus." With this, the group walked out of the room, walking and checking out the campus. That is, until he was approached by a group of male teens with blue blazers.

"Step aside slacker, Chazz Princeton is passing by," said one of the Obelisks, who went by the name of Taiyou Torimaki.

"Yeah, Chazz Princeton is passing by," another Obelisk said, and he went by the name of Raizou Mototani. The last Obelisk was the one in the middle, and he stacked out due to his odd hairdo.

"I didn't know there were worse versions of the Dazzlings," Spike retorted.

"Hey, don't insult me you punk!" The central Obelisk said, pointing at Spike. As you would've guessed, the one who just spoke was nothing less than Chazz Princeton, youngest son of the Princeton Brothers.

"Hmm, so you must be Chazz Princeton."

"THE Chazz Princeton."

"Well SO...RRY, Great and Powerful Chazz."

"That's it, I had it!" With this. Chazz walked over to Spike, fists clenched... Only to be interrupted by a female Obelisk Blue student, one who went by the name of Alexis Rhodes.

"Stop it Chazz, the welcoming dinner begins in 10 minutes and you know how Dr. Crowler is with being late," she said, stopping said student in his tracks.

"I'll deal with you later, drop-out," Chazz said, turning around and walking towards the Obelisk Dorms with his lackeys right behind him. Once Chazz was out of sight, Alexis turned to Spike.

"Just ignore him, he can be a bother at times," Alexis said, trying to ease the situation out.

"It's alright, I've met worse," Spike replied, remembering Rainbow Dash and Trixie Lulamoon.

"I see you're checking the academy out, how about I show you around later?"

"Well..." Go for it Spike! Yubel said. You heard her, say "yes"! Mana added.

"I don't see why not," Spike answered, with a smile.

"Great, I'll see you in the classroom in a couple of hours," Alexis said, turning around and heading towards her dorm.

"Well, that went better than expected," Yubel said, once Alexis was gone.

"Yeah, Spike's getting girls on his first day," Burst teased.

"You are quite lucky in love Spike," Mana said.

"Not really," Spike said, remembering his incident with Rarity as he walked back to the Slifer Red dorm. Once they reached the dorm, they proceeded to enter the cafeteria, where a small dish of rice and fish awaited each student.

"Well, compared to nothing, this is alright," he said, digging in, along with several other students. Once they finished, Professor Banner suggested that each student presented themselves and talked a bit about themselves or an anecdote they wanted to share. Several students passed, until it was Spike's turn.

"Hello, I am Spike Solaris, and I began dueling three weeks ago. As odd as it may seem, I ended up quite skilled in this game, and I am still learning. I wish to be your friend, and thank you for listening."

As Spike stood outside of the Slifer Red dorm, he looked at the stars, trying to remember the constellations. Sadly, his memory had been severed here and there due to the disease, affecting his knowledge of the stars. However, the peace would be disturbed with a mad Chazz Princeton who was followed by his lackeys.

"I, the Chazz Princeton, challenge you to an ante duel! Loser gives up his rarest card."

"Listen Chazz, we don't have to do this. We're in front of the dorm, and from what I know those kind of duels are forbidden," Spike replied.

"What's wrong slacker, scared of losing your rarest card?"

"No, I am afraid of doing something I will regret, which is not only losing this card that has a higher sentimental than monetary value."

"Where did you get that ridiculous crap from?"

"A friend of mine told me a little something, it was of an archer who had been yelled at by his leader. The leader then asked why he did it, and the archer who went by the name of Kung Jin said 'Because not all thieves are irredeemable'. Jin's mind went back to the following..."

Sky Temple

Five years before Shinnok's return

Kung Jin entered the altar room where images of the greatest warriors stood. The two main warriors were nothing less than Liu Kang and Kung Lao, who were under the spell of the warlock known as Quan Chi. The young Kung Jin grabbed a jade statue and proceeded to run out of the room, and as he was leaving the Sky Temple, a man in white clothes proceeded to say:

"It has more sentimental than monetary value... nevertheless I'd rather you not steal it," the man, who was known as the Thunder God Raiden, said.

"You know what I mean?" Spike asked.

"Yeah... that is why I will enjoy taking your card away from you!" Chazz exclaimed.

"Not if I can stop it," a calm Alexis said, waking into view.

"What are you doing here?"

"I knew you were going to do this, since I remembered how you got your 'Infernal Incinerator'."

"I won fair and square."

"You bullied a Slifer Red, just as you did earlier."

"This is my duel, not yours Alexis."

"It is now mine," Alexis said, preparing her Duel Disk.

"Alexis, please don't," Spike said, with a worried look.

"I must do this, after all I still owe you that tour."

"I'll have even more fun taking you down than wiping the floor with the drop-out," Chazz said, arrogance in his voice as he prepared his Duel Disk.

"DUEL!!!"

1. Alexis

"Ladies first, and I'll summon Harvest Angel of Wisdom, in Attack Mode (1800 ATK)! I'll end my turn."

1. Chazz

"Let's clean the field. I'll activate Lightning Vortex! I discard a card, and all of your face-up monsters are destroyed!" Chazz said, as the angel was destroyed. Now I'll summon Pandemonium Watchbear in Attack Mode (1300 ATK)! Go Pandemonium Watchbear, attack directly with 'Fiendish Bite'!" The bear charged at the opponent, and attacked.

"Ngh!" Alexis grunted, as part her Life Points dropped a bit.

"Your turn, Alexis."

Chazz: 4000 – Alexis: 2700

1. Alexis

"I'll summon Senju of the Ten Thousand Hands in Attack Mode (1400 ATK)! Whenever I Normal or Flip-Summon this monster, I can add a Ritual Monster from my deck to my hand, and I choose my Cyber Angel Benten! Go Senju, attack that Watchbear with 'Thousand Strike'! I'll end my turn with a face-down."

Chazz: 3900 – Alexis: 2700

1. Chazz

"I play a Spell Card, Monster Reborn! I'll Special Summon your Harvest Angel of Wisdom to use it as a tribute for my monster Helpoemer (2000 ATK)! Helpoemer, attack Senju of the Ten Thousand Hands with 'Hellish Screech'!"

"Ngh!" Was all that was heard from Alexis from the damage.

"Funny to see how I easily beat you, after I win I'll keep your rarest card Alexis."

Chazz: 3900 – Alexis: 2100

1. Alexis

"I'll summon Etoile Cyber in Defense Mode (1600 DEF), and I'll end my turn."

1. Chazz

"I might as well secure this victory. I'll use Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy that set card you have there. Next, I'll summon Armageddon Knight, in Attack Mode (1400 ATK)! When this card is summoned, I can send a DARK monster from my Deck to my Graveyard, which'll be my Mystic Tomato. Helpoemer, attack that ballerina with 'Hellish Screech'. Armaggedon Knight, attack her with 'Armageddon Strike'!

"Ah!" That was the only sound Alexis could emit while she fell a bit.

"One more turn Alexis, and I'll defeat you!" Chazz said, with a laugh.

Chazz: 3900 – Alexis: 700

1. Alexis

"I'll end my turn by summoning-" However, she never ended her turn.

"Hey, who's out there?!" A semi-asleep Banner asked.

"I'll duel you later, drop-out," Chazz said.

"That was unexpected," Spike said, seeing how Chazz ran away from the Slifer Red dorm.

"Yeah, I never expected Banner coming out," Alexis replied.

"Well children, I heard the commotion, so I obviously had to come out and find out the source," Banner said with a smile, as he carried Pharaoh in his arms. In response, the cat merely meowed.

"Sorry for that Professor Banner," Alexis said.

"It is alright, you did what you thought was right, as for Chazz I feel as if something is disturbing him. Now, I heard that you were going to give Spike a tour, so you should go show him the academy."

"Um, Professor Banner, isn't it too late to go around the campus?" Spike asked.

"Yes, you might get expelled, but I'll help you two out. Take Pharaoh for a walk. If they ask, just say 'Banner sent us to take Pharaoh for a walk. The guards will not disturb you, given the fact that it is a task that only I would assign." Pharaoh was immediately handed to Spike, and the Dragon-blood carried the feline.

"Thank you very much Professor Banner."

"Your welcome Spike, now don't be out so late you two, tomorrow you begin your first day of school," the headmaster said, entering his room.

"Shall we begin that tour?" Spike asked, turning towards Alexis.

"With pleasure," she replied, with a smile. With this, the two proceeded to begin the tour that would end with several laughs, a good time, and Spike asking himself if he had found somebody special, but that's for later.
