Yu Gi Oh GX A time to change. Takes place after Bonds of Time.

"So it looks like our work is done here," Jaden said

"Looks that way," Yugi said.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye then. It's been great meeting you both. Do you think we will meet each other again?" Jaden asked. Jaden, Yusei, and Yugi were overlooking the duel tournament that Yugi had won.

"Yes but let's hope that when we do the whole world of duel monsters won't be on the line again," Yusei said.

"You said it Yusei. Maybe we could duel each other? Whatever happens, I know that the bonds we formed here today are ones that will stand the test of time." Yugi said.

"All of time," Jaden said putting his hand in the center.

"Absolutely," Yusei said as he and Yugi put their hands in the center.

"Jaden let's go. It's nice meeting you Yugi." Yusei sad walking back to his duel runner.

"I already meet you before but it's nice to meet you again," Jaden said walking over to Yusei's duel runner. Yugi left to meet up with his grandfather as Yusei had some very bad news.

"Jaden the Crimson Dragon doesn't have the strength to drop us both off. So it is either in your time or my time." Yusei asked.

"I will just jump out. I love the thrill of not knowing where you are going to add to the thrill of adventuring." Jaden said grabbing pharaoh and putting him into his bag.

"Ok, Jaden let's leave it up," Yusei said as both he and Jaden were consumed by the Crimson Dragon.

Meanwhile on the timeline with the Crimson Dragon.

"Jaden are you ready to jump?" Yusei asked.

"I am as ready as I will ever be. After all when was the last time you jumped through a time portal with no return. It thrilling." Jaden said getting to the outside of the duel runner.

"I want you to have these to remind you of our friendship that we made here today," Yusei said handing Jaden something.

Next thing Jaden knew it was a bright light surrounded him and he got caught up in it.

Then Jaden woke up in his bed. He was sleeping on his bed out of the apartment he rented before he enrolled in duel academy. "What the heck happened? Was that all a big dream?" Jaden said checking the clock that he had five hours to get to his test.

"No Jaden it wasn't." came Yubel's voice from behind him scaring him. "We are in the past and the only reason I am still with you is that I am bonded into your soul. The teacher and cat weren't. I think that they still have their memories as they both resumed the bodies that they were in." Yubel explained her theory. "As sad as it makes me think but there is now my duplicate who is blind in anger to get to you." She said feeling her own presence.

"She is right you know." Came a white alien with a blue orb as his core and red lines around his body. It was Neos. "I and the other Neospacians have joined you earlier than usual. And you still have what Yusei gave you. Regardless this is our chance to change the future for the better."

"He is right. If you can adapt to the supreme king's power than you can control his monsters, who have special abilities themselves in the real world." Yubel said explaining her plan to have Jaden control his powers.

"Fine we will start training after my test, there is someone I need to meet. Someone, we have all meet?" Jaden said rushing out in his old black school uniform. Jaden ran to the park, waiting for someone to bump into. There he was, Jaden walked up to the man with the multi-colored hair.

"Yo Yugi. What's up?" Jaden said. Yugi was confused on who Jaden was. "Maybe this will jog your memory," Jaden said flashing Neos at Yugi.

"That is Elemental Hero Neos. I remember now. Jaden was that right? You look younger than I remember." Yugi said noticing the difference.

"That's because I jumped off Yusei's Duel runner and didn't go back to my original time but ended up back in this body," Jaden said. "Oh I have to go otherwise I will be late."

"Good luck Jaden but it already looks like you know what you are doing so try not to fail this time," Yugi said remembering a bit about what Jaden had said during the time duel.

"I will make you proud then come challenge you for your title," Jaden said.

"Duel like how you did back then and I will promise we will have an excellent duel," Yugi said. "And here I feel like this belongs to you." He said handing over a copy of winged kuriboh that Jaden gave Yugi to remember him by.

"Thanks. I got to go now don't want to be late." Jaden said keeping to the fact that he was already going to be late.

Later at the Kiba dome. "Well ladies, Mark all of the no shows as absent." Said a man with the suit. "Wait I am here." Came a voice from the wall. It was Jaden.

"You can mark Jaden Yuki as here," Jaden said. Jaden walked inside. He walked up to a blue haired kid.

"Wow look at them go," Jaden said looking at bastion. Bastion has 3200 LP and his opponent has 1900.

"So applicant do you A throw in the towel, B Cry you heart out or C go home to your mama?" the proctor said.

"I will choose D none of the above. I activate ring of destruction. With this, I can destroy one monster in attack mode and both of us take damage equal to the monster's attack points." Bastion said activating the trap and equipping it to his monster that has 1900 LP.

"Clever move kid. Welcome to the academy." The proctor said. Bastion bowed thanking him.

"Wow, that kid is pretty good don't you think Chazz?" "Guess the rumors of him being some kind of wiz kid are true. Huh, Chazz huh?" Said the two obelisk blues.

"He is a punk. We went to duel prep school for the past three years. We are ready for the academy. These kids don't know what they are getting into. They will learn the hard way. The Chazz Princeton way" Chazz said. Jaden had heard due to his better hearing thanks to the bonding with Yubel.

"Sweet duel. They really tore it up." Jaden said.

"Yeah, Bastion Misawa. They said he got the highest score on the written exam than all of the applicants." The Bluenete said.

"Wow, I just barely scraped by," Jaden said. 'well, I am sure that if I retook it I would get 100.'

"Yeah me too. I am Cyrus by the way. Nice to meet you. I kinda have a thing for test anxiety. I don't know how I won my match" Cyrus said.

"Syrus like the villain from the fifth gen of Pokémon? I am Jaden by the way. Congratulations I will be in once I will win my duel." Jaden said.

"Wait I thought that was the last duel?" Syrus said.

"Don't worry. I know some high up people." Jaden said patting Syrus's head.

Meanwhile.

"Looks like we have a good batch this year" "Yes indeedy. (A/N He actually did say indeedy)" Said some of the teachers who were watching the duels.

"I am sorry to interrupt but we have one last applicant who would like to take his exam Mr. Crowler." The man in the suit said to the obelisk blue dorm manager.

"Did you just call me Mr. Crowler?" The teacher said.

"I am sorry Ms. I am new here." Suit said.

"I have a Ph.D. in dueling. I have earned the title Professor. Thank you. Now tell the little truant that he will have to come back next year." Crowler said.

"Oh come on we should at least give him a shot." One teacher said having the others nod in agreement.

"He is late and late I rude. I have no time for slackers" Crowler said as his phone started ringing. "Hello?"

"It's shepherd I am calling to make sure that you give everyone a shot. Remember what happened last year when you dismissed 1/3 of the applicants just because they called you Ms. Just because of the way you keep your hair. Just give everyone a fair chance." Shepherd said.

"Absolutely." Crowler hangs up the phone. "Furry chinned windbag." 'Doesn't he realize we have enough talentless flunkies at the academy already? But he is the boss so I have to give this scrim shake a duel I will give him a duel.' "Pardon me, gentlemen. I will be right back."

"But who should be the boy's duel proctor and what deck should he use?" Asked one of the teachers.

"Oh don't worry leave everything to me," Crowler said leaving the teachers area.

Back with Jaden.

"Tight duel Bastion," Jaden said.

"Thank you," he said.

"From the looks of it, you might be the second best duelist around here?" Jaden said.

[Jaden Yuki report to exam field four. Jaden Yuki please report to exam field four.]

"It's time to duel," Jaden said motivated.

"Wait if I am second then who is first?"

"Why it is yours truly. It is what I am best at." Jaden said leaving for the duel arena.

"Wow, he seems so sure of himself," Syrus said.

"Looks like he is going to need it. Look at who he is dueling." Bastion said pointing to Dr. Crowler.

Jaden got onto the lift and saw Dr. Crowler. "I am Doctor Vellian Crowler. Department chair and professor of techniques at Duel Acadamy."

"Wow, a department chair. I thought you were some weird academy mascot with how you were dressed. Don't get mad if you lose this." Jaden said as Yubel appeared behind him laughing at what Jaden had said. "Why don't you do the honors teach and take this first duel off."

In the stands

"Hey, you know now that he mentions it he is right you know." "This kid has some lip huh Chazz?" Chazz was getting mad at Jaden.

Back in the duel.

Crowler drew his cards. "I place two cards face down and then play heavy storm." A strong wind blew on the field destroying the two face downs.

"Let me guess the two cards you had were some kind of token monster that will allow you to now summon a level 8 monster. Judging from your looks I will guess it. It is Ancient Gear Golem." Jaden said scarring Crowler.

Back in the stands.

"Can someone tell me what just happened?" Syrus asked.

"Those two face downs were a statue of the wicked. When they are destroyed they make tokens. Which is why he played heavy storm." Bastion said.

"A card that strong couldn't possibly be in one of the test decks. Crowler must be using his own" "Then this is over. No one could beat an expert like the doctor."

"I think I am going to enjoy watching Crowler mop the floor with our friend down there. I only wish he treated the other second rate duelists who applied to the academy the same." Chazz said.

"What an elitist snob bullying an amateur with his best cards," Alexis said.

"You are too soft Alexis or are you already captivated by his bravery to still fight?" Zane said making Alexis blush. "Maybe we will finally get to see that monster that Crawler has stashed in his deck."

"It's not that Zane. Something about him makes me feel a certain way. I don't know what it is but I want to find out. I feel like he can help me find Atti." Alexis said looking at Jaden.

Zane didn't respond but he too felt like Jaden was some kind of key to helping them find his friend.

Back in the duel.

"How did you know my card?" Crowler said as Jaden had guessed correctly.

"Well judging from looks you look like you would like that kind of cards. Looks like my guess is right. So play the card."

"Fine. I sacrifice my two tokens and summon ancient gear golem." Crowler said as a big robot of rock came from the earth and towered over him. Ancient gear golem had 3000 attack points. "Since I can't attack, I will end my turn."

"My turn," Jaden said drawing a card. "Looks like this is game over. I play the spell card polymerisation and fuse my Elemental Hero Sparkman and Elemental Hero Neos from my hand to summon Neos knight. Now Neos knight has a sweet effect. I add the amount of half of monster that I fused with Neos gets added to Neos knight. Making his attack 3750."

"3750!" Crowler said.

"Yep, the only downside is that you don't take battle damage. Before I attack I set one card face down then I attack go Neos knight slash away that monster." Jaden said as Neos knight slashed out at the golem making it disappear into shreds. "Now I activate my face down Defusion. Now I get my Neos and Sparkman back on the field with 2500 attack and 1600. Now attack my heroes." Jaden said as Neos and Sparkman attacked making Jaden the winner of the duel.

"So teach did I pass?" Jaden said doing a celebratory dance. Yubel just laughed at Jaden.

"Yubel do you know how long it has been since I could duel for the fun of it? That duel was a way of relieving myself. Let's go home and start my training." Jaden said walking away with Yubel hovering behind him.

Back in the stands.

Everyone was shocked. No one has heard of Neos or Neos knight. Chazz was mad. 'I can't believe that that slacker has a rare card. I never heard of Neos before but I will get that card from him. He will learn that he is nothing compared to Chazz Princeton.' Chazz thought snidely.

"He has a future here," Alexis said.

"Maybe he can help us considering that he just got an OTK to a professor," Zane said.

"As weird as it sounds to hear from you Zane I can agree," Alexis said. 'Not to forget he does look cool, but what was that thing behind him. Zane didn't seem to see it or maybe I am hallucinating. Either way, I have to keep my eye on Jaden from here on out.' She thought as she followed Zane.

Back with Jaden at his apartment.

"Now Jaden we start your training. First, we will start on making storage area's using your power." Yubel said.

"Not homework again," Jaden complained.

"Look Jaden because of Paradox we have the chance to make things better so his 'the destroyed world was our future' thing cannot even exist. Think of it like this you will not have to see your friends sacrificed again but can beat me back." Yubel said.

"Ok, I get it let's get started," Jaden said stretching his legs out after sitting down for two long.

Later on that night.

"Wow, Jaden you progressed fast," Yubel said looking at a sleeping Jaden. "You have already mastered changing your form back to when we fought Paradox, can make portable dimension, and lastly you have mastered making all of your monsters solid. I was shocked when Burst jumped on you. She kissed your lips. All that you have left to do is use HIS minions." Yubel said raking her hand trough Jaden's hair smiling.

"Snore." Jaden snored loudly. Yubel smiled. It had been a long time that she was traveling with Jaden. It has been awhile since he has been able to sleep this soundly.

"Good night my king," Yubel said planting a kiss on his lips before falling asleep on him.
