Delinquent Duo is actually the name of a Duel Monsters card. But it also symbolizes two miscreant teenagers in the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. And you know who you are. These two will be joining the new generation of duelists attending Duel Academy. Oh, and by the way, if I have to hear a thing about their ages, I swear to God I'll scream like a little girl! Just enjoy the story ya'll, okay? Ahem. Anyway, here's my disclaimer.
I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, the GX series, or any related characters. Oh, except my OCs. They're mine.
Arrival of the Delinquent Duo
It was an awful day in Domino City. It was raining heavily. Almost everyone was indoors with exception to a pair of teenage boys strolling towards the KaibaCorp building, under a pair of umbrellas. The one on the left had greenish-blue Beatle hair, round yellow glasses, a baseball cap with insect antennae, a striped yellow and black shirt and black shorts. The second (on the right) had wild brown hair with pink streaks in the front and a wool cap with an indecipherable Japanese kanji on the front, as well as a brown vest, blue jeans with the knees worn out and a green t-shirt. They both had circular devices and a deck of cards fixed to their wrists (Duel Disks).
"So, that's where the exam is being held?"
"Yes. And with that, a whole school's worth of budding duelists ripe for the swarm!"
"Let's just get there already. My shoes are starting to fall apart!"
"That's what you get for using duct tape to hold them together!"
The boy with the glasses narrowed his eyes as they started to pick up speed, heading for KaibaCorp.
As soon as we get into Duel Academy, we'll finally become strong enough to defeat the Egyptian Gods!

Chapter 1 – Pass or Fail? Old and New Heroes Arrive!
Inside KaibaCorp was an enormous arena, where several teenagers were battling hard, but not with their fists, but with monsters of several varieties. It was a popular card game that stretched across the globe, called Duel Monsters. In the stands were other teenagers, each wearing a jacket of a different color (red, blue, yellow, and only one student in black).
"How could they hold entrance exams on a horrible day like this?"
Ra Yellow student, Syrus Truesdale griped as he shook the water off his yellow coat, not knowing he was getting the other students soaked.
"You know," Slifer Red student, Jaden Yuki piped in, covering his head, "shaking your coat around like that's only making it worse! You're getting everyone drenched!"
Syrus came to a crashing halt as several soaked students glared at him. He felt a bead of sweat run down the back of his head as their eyes pierced through his heart.
"Um…sorry about that, everyone."
"You'd better be sorry, shrimp," The student in black grumbled, wiping the condensation from his soda. "You messed up my hair. The Chazz needs to look good even off the dueling field."
Syrus put his coat back on and sat down between Jaden and another Ra student, Bastion Misawa.
"So, Bastion," Syrus asked, "what do you think of the new students so far?"
Bastion put his hand to his chin. "Well, each one of them has their own ups and downs, for sure. But my attention is on that tall one over there. He's been completely calm during his entire duel."
Jaden and Syrus looked in the direction of a tall kid with long black hair and piercing teal blue eyes. Right now he was dueling one of the examiners (who shall remain anonymous). The examiner had 1600 Life Points and two monsters on the field, Slot Machine (2000/2300) and Rare Metal Dragon (2400/1200) as well as a trap called "Call of the Haunted." The kid had 800 Life Points, a face down card, and a Koumori Dragon (1500/1200) in Defense mode.
"Well, kid, you put up a good duel, but I'm afraid your winning streak ends here. Slot Machine! Destroy his dragon! Jackpot Barrage!"
Slot Machine wrenched its handle as the slots started to spin, each one stopping on a "7". The Slot Machine stomped forward and fired its cannon on its right arm. The kid shielded himself with his Duel Disk as his dragon was blown to bits. He still remained calm and smiled at the examiner.
"Keep smiling, kid. It'll look good when your Life Points run out. Rare Metal Dragon! Finish him off!"
"Sorry," the kid said as he raised his face down card. "I activate my trap card Enchanted Javelin! See, when one of your monsters attacks, I get to increase my Life Points by your monster's attack points." His Life Points, indeed, did rise to 3200.
"I'll still attack your Life Points! Go, Dragon! Attack with Atomic Heat!"
The Rare Metal Dragon roared as a burst of white fire streamed from its mouth, surrounding the kid who shielded himself again as his Life Points dropped back to 800. The examiner scoffed at him.
"So you saved yourself one more turn. This duel is already done."
"Not if I say so. It's my move!" The kid draws a card from his duel disk. "Nice. I activate the spell card, Dark Hole! Now, all monsters on the field are dead meat! Good thing I didn't summon any yet."
A vortex opens over the playing field, creating a huge wind. The kid's long black hair blew in the wind as Slot Machine and Rare Metal Dragon were sucked into the void. The vortex soon closed.
"No!" The examiner shouted. "My monsters!"
"And now, I summon Harpie's Brother (1800/600) in attack mode!"
And right there stood a tall figure in leather with red wings and a long red wrist claw. The examiner looked on, showing no fear.
"Now, Harpie's Bro, wage a head-on attack! Cyclone Wings!"
Harpie's Brother flapped his wings, making a tornado moving towards the examiner. The examiner shielded himself as he was surrounded by the tornado and his Life Points dropped to 0.
"Well done then. Congratulations. Welcome to Duel Academy, Mr.…what did you say your name was again?"
The kid was about to leave when he turned back around. He smiled sheepishly at the examiner."Oh. It's Mokuba. Mokuba Kaiba."
Chazz spit out his soda. "Did he say Kaiba?!"
"Yes," Bastion answered. "Apparently, that young man is Seto Kaiba's younger brother."
"That's sweet!" Jaden shouted, "I've gotta duel him!"
Syrus put a hand to his head. "There he goes again." Half way through the exams, Jaden wanted to duel at least four of the examinees who passed.
"That's just like you, Jaden," a female voice said. "Zero patience."
The guys turned to their left as a blonde girl in white with blue trim sat down next to them.
"Hey, Ale-MMPH!" Jaden was pushed out of the way by Chazz Princeton, who looked ecstatic to see her.
"Hi, Alexis!"
"You're a worm, Chazz," Alexis snapped. "Sit down."
Chazz's hair drooped a bit as he sat back in his seat. Syrus turned to Alexis. He seemed equally ecstatic to see her (no surprise). "I thought you were sitting with the other Obelisks."
"Yeah, but they never stop criticizing the duelists down there. I got sick of it, so I came to sit in a more friendly area."
"A great idea," Syrus said, grinning widely. "No one's friendlier than us!"
Alexis sweatdropped. "Riiiiight. Anyway, who's up next?"
A gaudy feminine voice sounded on the PA. "Attention. Will…is that really his name? Ugh...Weevil Underwood, please report to the arena for your exam. Weevil Underwood, report to the arena."
"Does that answer your question?" Bastion asked.
"They let Crowler use that thing?!" Jaden asked, in horror.
Yeah. Mokuba's here too. Scream for praise, fangirls! And you should know those two teens at the beginning are, in fact, Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor. I don't need to mention what I said earlier about their ages. Just go with it. ON TO THE PREVIEWS!
Weevil returns to the dueling field after who knows how long and his VERY lovely examiner has a few things planned for him. The next chapter is called Secret Garden: Former Champion VS Beautiful Examiner!
Oh, and don't forget to review!
