Darkness and Light, Into the Chaos!

Jaden Yuki was a tired man. Why? Because his childhood friend and rival, Sora Cliff, had dragged him out of bed to make sure they weren't late for their Duel Academy entrance exams. "You'll thank me for this later, Jaden. And I know your girlfriend is thanking me now." the redheaded boy sighed, glancing back at the demonic figure he was sure only he and his companion could see.

"Yeah, maybe so, but it still doesn't change the fact I'm tired." Jaden replied with a yawn as the pair entered the park. Of course, as he wasn't looking where he was going as he yawned, Jaden ended up walking right into a passerby. "Woops, sorry." he apologized quickly.

"It's quite alright." the man replied, glancing down at the ground. "You're a duelist?" he asked.

Jaden looked down to see his deck scattered across the sidewalk. With a scream, he quickly gathered his cards while replying, "Yeah, I'm actually headed to take my entrance exam to Duel Academy."

"I see," the man chuckled, reaching for the deck holder on his belt and withdrawing a card. "Here. I think this card will help." he offered.

"Are you sure?" Jaden asked.

"Yes, something tells me it belongs with you." the man replied, and it was about then Sora came back around the corner.

"Jaden, we're going to be late!" he called, taking notice of the man. Wolf whistling, he turned and started walking again.

"You had best get going." the man chuckled, continuing his walk.

"Thanks! I'll make you proud!" Jaden promised. Yugi looked back with a small thumbs up.

...

"So these are the duel exams." Sora muttered, looking around. I'm sure I can win, and Jaden isn't even an issue, but I wonder just how much of a challenge it will be?

"Knowing you? Not enough of one." came a soft voice beside him. "I just hope I don't hold you back."

Sora looked to his left to see a translucent green-haired girl wearing a beige coat, a white shirt, and a dark green skirt. "When have you ever held me back, Wynn?" he asked dryly.

"SORA CLIFF, PLEASE REPORT TO DUEL ARENA THREE." the intercom requested.

"I'm off. Make sure you don't fuck up your duel." Sora chuckled, waving to Jaden as he left.

"You too, ya wind-obsessed doofus." Jaden shot back with a grin.

Sora fiddled with the controls on his duel disk as he entered the arena, glancing up to see what he guessed was a second or third year Ra holding his disk at the ready. "Alright, now here's how it works." The Ra began "You don't have to beat me, you just have to get me under 2000 life points. Placement will be decided depending on how well you perform."

"Got it. Now let's get started." Sora replied, loading his deck.

"Duel!"

Ra:4000

Sora:4000

"The first turn is mine." The Ra declared, drawing a card. "I play Reinforcement of the Army. Now I can add a level 4 or lower Warrior monster to my hand. I choose Marauding Captain(ATK:1200), which I'm summoning now. Next, with his ability, I can summon my Dark Blade(ATK: 1800). I end my turn with a facedown."

Looks like a basic Warrior deck. Nothing to fear. Sora determined. "My move." he declared, drawing. "First, since I have no monsters in my graveyard, I can summon Guardian Eatos from my hand(ATK:2500)." Eatos took form on the field, and the Ra paled. "Next, I equip Eatos with my Lucky Iron Axe, raising his attack points by 500."

"Not if I play my Mystical Space Typhoon!" the Ra countered, activating his spell.

"Works for me, now I get to draw a new card." Sora shrugged. "I activate the field spell I just drew. Divine Wind of Mist Valley. Now every time a wind monster returns to my hand, I can special summon a level 4 or below wind monster from my deck." The Ra it his lip in frustration. "Now for my normal summon. I summon Winda, Priestess of Gusto from my hand(ATK:1000). Now Winda, take out Marauding Captain."

"But Winda has less attack points!" The Ra pointed out.

"Not after I play my Rush Recklessly, giving her 700 extra attack points(ATK:1700)." Sora smirked. "Winda, take him out!" a wind burst from the green-haired monster's staff shattered the blonde warrior.

Ra:4000-3500

"Eatos, take out Dark Blade. Guardian Fist!" Sora ordered, one of his strongest monsters snapping to action and delivering a deadly punch to the black armored knight.

Ra:3500-2800

"I end my turn with a facedown. Your move." Sora finished, watching Winda's attack drop back to 1000.

"My turn." Ra declared, drawing. "I play The Warrior Returning Alive. This lets me get back the Dark Blade you destroyed. Next I play Polymerization!"

"Dark Blade the Dragon Knight." Sora muttered.

"Good guess. Come my beauty!" The Ra called, the black armored knight on an equally black scaled dragon appeared(ATK:2200).

"Still weaker than Eatos!" Sora pointed out.

"Maybe so, but I can still do some damage." The Ra replied. "Dark Blade, take out his Priestess of Gusto!" he ordered, the dragon rider throwing one of his swords, cutting the girl in half.

Sora:4000-2800

"I special summon Gusto Egul(DEF:400) with my Winda's ability, which triggered when you destroyed her!" Sora hissed, the small green bird appearing.

"I end my turn. Now make your move." The Ra declared.

Noticing the slightly beat-up card on the top of his deck, Sora smiled as he drew. Sure enough, it was his personal favorite. "I summon Familiar Possessed-Wynn(ATK:1850)." The girl Sora had been talking to earlier appeared, glancing around rather nervously. "Calm down, everything's fine." he comforted.

"Are you seriously comforting a hologram?" The Ra asked, disbelieving.

"Okay, now I'm gonna make it hurt." Sora decided, wind swirling around him as he glared at his opponent. "These are more than just cards, they're my comrades and I won't allow anyone to say otherwise. Time to learn what happens when you try to match the wind. I activate the trap card Icarus Attack. By sacrificing a Winged-Beast monster, like my Gusto Egul, I can destroy two cards on the field. I choose my Divine Wind and your Dark Blade the Dragon Knight." Egul turned into a ball of light, flying into the trap card. Two beams of energy shot out a second later, one striking the field, destroying it, and the other destroying the dragon rider.

"Oh no!" The Ra gasped. If I hadn't destroyed Winda, I could've lasted another turn. he realized.

"Eatos, you're up first! Attack directly!" Sora ordered, the wind surrounding him seeming to increase Eatos' speed as he struck the Ra.

Ra:2800-300

"Wynn, if you would?" Sora requested, glancing at his other monster. The nervous spellcaster nodded, leaping into action. "Go Storm Caller Strike!" Wynn's staff swirled like a hurricane, knocking the Ra off his feet.

Ra:300-0

"Game over." he declared, stepping up to Wynn. "Wonderful as always, my dear." he praised, taking her hand with a smile before she and Eatos faded.

...

Sora came to see Jaden's duel, and he noticed his friend was in a tough spot. Looking to his opponent, Sora saw why. Though he couldn't determine the other duelist's gender, he knew the monster in play well. "Ancient Gear Golem. If Jaden doesn't play his field spell, he's not gonna win." he muttered.

"Field Spell? What Field Spell?" a high-pitch voice beside him asked. Sora glanced to his side to see a rather short boy with blue hair and glasses looking at him curiously.

"I play Skyscraper!" Jaden called.

"That field spell." Sora replied. "It raises his Elemental Hero's attack by 1000 if he's attacking a monster stronger than him. The other duelist just lost." True to his word, Jaden finished the duel with a win.

"Alright! Looks like I'm in!" Jaden cheered. "Didya see that, Sy?" the brunette asked, running back up to where he had left his new friend.

"Way to play, Jay!" "Sy" replied.

Jaden noticed Sora. "Oh, hey Sora. This is Syrus." he introduced. "And Bastion was here a second ago."

"I imagine I'll meet him soon." Sora shrugged. "Looks like we both won our duels, which means we are headed out."

"Let's all do our best!" Jaden suggested, the other two boys cheering along.

And done! So, a couple things I want to cover. First off is this IS a Soulshipping(that is the JadenxYubel one, right?) and that's where it ends for Jaden. Sora is an OC who's name I came up with to match his WIND Deck, and he's being shipped with his favorite monster, Wynn. He does not have a Wynn the Wind Charmer card, because I built this deck with card I have at home, and I can't seem to get my hands on one. And finally, Jaden does have Yubel's cards in his deck, as well as a Mystic Tomato, Limit Reverse, and Black Ptera. These are the ONLY changes to his deck that don't include cannon. If you don't like anything I said here, save yourself an me some grief and stop reading now.

If you're okay with what I've said, I hope to see you in the next chapter, whenever that will come in. This is one of my "on a whim" stories, so don't expect me to pay too much attention at once. So, I guess leave a review and I'll see you all next time!
