The DGA Chronicles Season 1: Beginnings - Chapter 21: Aftermath

Well, I wasn't going to at first, but i decided to try my hand at fanfiction after all. I may not have time to update as frequently as I would like, so please do not nag me about it. Although I'm technically the main character, will try to include as many people as i can in the story, but keep in mind that DGA didn't start in DGA, so i may be a while if you're new. Hope you guys like it!!!!


Hey, my name is Harper7000, but call
me Harper. My life has been... Nuts, to say the least. I'm not even sure where to begin. Well... I guess the beginning is a good a place as any to start.

The year is 2510. Over the last 500 years, much has changed. In 2460, there was an excavation of Seto Kaiba's original mansion in New Domino City, and while doing so they discovered Kaiba's original virtual video game technology, the one that the Big 5 tried to trap him in. But after a few years of enjoying the video game, people theorized that if their entire minds could be uploaded to a video game, what's to stop them from uploading it to some sort of virtual universe where they could live forever? As a result of this idea, most people of the world now spend most of their lives in the vast virtual world known as Pseudospace, instead of the real world. Here, anyone can do basically anything he or she ever wanted (for a small monthly fee paid to Kaiba Corporation of course). Kaiba Corporation (KC) was of course te richest company in both worlds, and Seto Kaiba II (the descendant of the original Seto) was considered by most to be President of Pseudospace. No one cared who ruled the real world. People only stay in the real world long enough to eat, sleep, and other such things. Also, for some reason, people in Pseudospace insist on being called by odd-sounding nicknames instead of their real names . 
But a shift to the true "digital age" could not stop the shadow games... The game dubbed "Duel Monsters" by Maximillion Pegasus was still popular in Pseudospace, and still played an important part in significant events, if not more so than before. Seto encouraged dueling to solve problems instead of actual wars. But, since there are no actual countries anymore, and a universal language is used in Pseudospace, wars are almost non-existent. Instead, Dueling Schools have became more and more popular, and there are many, many of them. But the ones who truly dominate the dueling world are Turbo Duel Academy (TDA), Dark Armed Dragon (DAD), Advanced Duel Academy (ADA), New Duel Academy (NDA), Seto Kaiba I's original Duel Academy (DA), and the academy founded and still run by Pegasus's descendants, Toon World Academy (TWA). These academies constantly battle each other in friendly (or unfriendly) wars to see which of them is the greatest. Nations were at peace, and people did things they had only dreaamed of before Pseudospace.

However... Not all was well in the universe. Back in the real world in Los Angeles California, a world away from everyone else, two cloaked men stood talking on top of a deserted building. They wore black hoods and capes that obscured their faces and zform.

Cloaked man 1: "why do we have to meet here anyway? It's a dump, no one even likes the real world anymore!"
Cloaked man 2: "that's exactly the point, no one will overhear us."
CM 1: "true, but it doesn't mean I have to like it..."

They stand silently for a while, cloaks flapping in the cold wind. Soon, other cloaked men joined them, and they all went inside the building. Inside, there was a vast room containing 20 or so Pseudopods, the sleeping pods where a person's mind was uploaded into Pseudospace. A man awaited them there. He wore the same cloak as the others, but his hood was thrown back. However, a black mask with red markings obscured his entire face. One of the cloaked
men who had entered addressed him.

CM 1: "so, when will we finally be able to take the revenge that you promised us on our enemies?"
Masked man: (smiling) "in a way, now. Haha, I have found a way to make our opponent's lives a living hell and they will have no idea how to stop it. However... We must wait for now on killing them. It is said that there will come a duelist who has the power over light AND darkness, the master of all decks, the one who is prophesied to be the greatest duelist of them all. For my plan to reach it's peak, I need him first."
CM 2: "ha! I don't even think he exists! He's just a legend."
MM: "oh, he exists all right, but even HE does not realize who he truly is yet. The day he is at his full potential will be THE LAST day for our enemies... But enough of that, we have to proceed with our plan, there are ways to torture our enemies until that day. Turn on that Psedopod."

The pod he had indicated had been hooked up to some sort of machine with a metal ring wide enough for 2 people to walk through

MM: "this, my friends, is a gate to a different dimension. If all goes well, it will open a portal to the spirit world."
CM 3: "oh yeah? what if all DOESN'T go well?"

The masked man turned to face him menacingly
MM: "that's a risk we'll have to take... Turn it on."

Next time: Chapter 1: "A Fateful Duel Pt. 1, Assault of The Ancient Gear Dragon!" 

:O O.O :O nice beginning for the story. Keep it up

yea it was preety cool good job

WTF !!! thats one hell of an introduntion man, i hope you wil upload the next chapeter soon, cant with to read it `

Thanks guys . The next chapter should be up by Friday, but then I'll be gone for a week after that .

Here's the next chapter guys (yes it's a different location than the intro)

Harper glanced back and forth several times between the cards in his hand and the cards on the field. His opponent had a stardust dragon on the field, and he conrolled only a gateway of the six samurai with 2 counters on it and a facedown call of the haunted.
(Lp. Harper:1000, Opponent:6000)
 
Harper: (thinking) "ugh, if only it wasn't stardust, then i could use lightning vortex and..."

Suddenly he smiled, and a plan began to form in his mind.

Harper: "I activate lightning vortex, and by discarding great shogun shien, I can destroy your stardust dragon!"
Opponent: "ha! You fool, I tribute stardust dragon to negate your pathetic spell card!"
Harper: (smiles). Now I activate call of the haunted, bringing back my six samurai - zanji! Next, I special summon grandmaster of the six samurai with his effect!"
Opponent: "still not enough."
Harper: "I'm not done, since i summoned 2 six samurai, that's 4 more counters for my gateway, which means I can remove them all to summon forth a "shien" effect monster from my grave! And I choose, Great Shogun Shien!!! Now! (flourishes hand dramatically) My monsters, attack!

(Lp. Harper:1000, Opponent:0)

Opponent: "aaagh!!!!! Gr, I'll get you next time Harper..."

Harper nodded and smiled as the people watching around cheered... But when the other duelists left, he gave a big sigh. His opponent hadn't really been that good... He had only summoned stardust dragon because he was lucky and because Harper had been going easy on him. Just another noob, and he was the 5th one he'd dueled today.
They were dueling in the KC hub, a place where duelists could congregate in the virtual world of Pseudospace and duel each other. It was a great idea in theory, dueling people that would normally be on the other side of the world from you, but Harper had yet to find a decent duelist in the entire hub, and he'd dutifully visited every day for the past month and a half. 
A guy who appeared to be in his late teens approached him. He seemed a few years older than Harper, perhaps 18 or 19. He wore a white button-up shirt and black pants, had a black backpack on and had spiky brown hair.

Teenager: "hey dude, do you want to duel? I'm trying out this new deck..."
Harper: (sighs, and then looks at the clock) "ah... sure, why not?"

It was getting late, and he had to be in the real world pretty soon, but a quick duel couldn't hurt.

Teenager: "thanks, the name's LNoir"
Harper: (shakes hand) "my name is Harper, nice to meet you."

LNoir pulled off his backpack, unzipped it, and rummaged furiously through it. Several deck boxes tumbled out as he searched, and he picked one up and replaced the others.

LNoir: "ah, here it is, now let's do this! (he places the deck in and activates duel disk)
Harper: (activates duel disk)
Both: "duel!"

(Lp: Harper:8000, LNoir:8000)

LNoir: "I'll go first if you don't mind. I draw! Hm, interesting hand. Well, i'll activate gold sarchophagus, and remove heavy storm from play, but i get it back after 2 of my standbye phases. Next I'll set one monster face down and one card face down and end my turn."
Harper: "that's all? (looks at hand). This is how to start off a duel! I summon the six samurai - yaichi. Next, I special summon grandmaster of the six samurai with his effect, and..."
Lnoir: "not so fast, I activate bottomless trap hole"
Harper: "heh, fine, I special summon a second grandmaster from my hand then! Next, I special summon great shogun shien with his effect! Now... Attack, grandmaster! (sangan explodes)
LNoir: "I activate sangan's effect, and add dandylion to my hand"
Harper: "whatever, I attack with shien and yaichi! Next I'll set a facedown and end my turn"

(Lp. Harper: 8000, LNoir:4200)

LNoir: (still calm) "that's the first standbye phase. I set one card face-down in my field spell card zone"
Harper: "why face-down?"
LNoir: "you'll see, next I activate lightning vortex, and discard dandylion to destroy all of your monsters! Also, because of dandylion's effect, I special summon 2 fluff tokens."
Harper: "wha-NO! Arg, i add grandmaster back to my hand with his effect. You're lucky..."
LNoir: "not really, and that's not all I'm afraid, I tribute my tokens to summon earthbound immortal ascilla piscu!"
Harper: "whoa... That thing is huge! And it can attack me directly even if I had monsters!"
LNoir: "correct, but that's still not the end. I set a field spell face-down, which destroys my old field spell. The old one was geartown, and when it's destroyed I get to special summon an ancient gear monster from my deck! (searches through deck). I choose ancient gear gajiltron dragon!"
Harper: "... Uh, I activate threatening roar"
LNoir: "very well, I end my turn"
Harper: "I draw! Ugh, I set a monster and activate six samurai united. I end my turn."
LNoir: "draw. Nowtha it's been 2 standbye phases, I add heavy storm to my hand. I attack directly with ascilla piscu! Next, I attack your facedown monster with gadjiltron dragon.
Harper: "you destroyed my shien's footsoldier. I get to special summon a level 3 six samurai, and I choose yariza, which adds a counter on my six samurai united!"
LNoir: "that may be so, but my dragon does damage to you despite your little footsoldier being in defense mode.

(Lp. Harper:3200, LNoir:4200)

Harper: (thinking) "man oh man, what do I do now? He has 2 really powerful monsters, one i can't attack but can attack me directly, and one I can't use traps on when he attacks! And if I destroy the field spell, he'll just summon another dragon!"

Next time: Chapter 2: "A Fateful Duel Pt. 2, Academy Invitation!" 

Nice but it would be better without the mistakes I made xD

NICEEEEE oohhh add me in the story too!!!

:O Lol nice still some mistakes xO Anywayz,great job of greatness harper Pls continue this I totally look forward to seeing how it turns out xO

@vongola: well, you shouldn't have been so trigger-happy on bth, and you could have gold sarced something better than heavy I think... But otherwise you're destroying me, I didn't notice any other mistakes. Were there any? But to e honest, this is the beginning, we both get better... And it's just a story anyway, I probably won't go for perfection every time
@frost: thanks, and sure thing... But it actually may be a while, I'm starting at the beginning, which means we travel from DUA to FADA and finally rest at DGA. When we get to DGA you'll be there
@shock: haha thanks, I'll update when I can

Awesome start to what will be an awesome story, Harper. Can't wait to see if you get outta this one.

The DGA Chronicles Season 1: Beginnings - Chapter 2: A Fateful Duel Pt. 2, Academy Invitation!
*Dueling update*
(Lp. Harper:3200, LNoir:4200)

Harper: "my turn, I draw! Hm, I summon the six samurai - kamon in defense mode, which puts another counter on su samurai united. I now send it to the graveyard to draw two cards!" (thinking) "it all comes down to this, I need to draw something good...  Come on!" (out loud) "yes! I Activate yariza's special ability: when I control another six samurai monster, he can attack you directly! Go, yariza! Now, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn."

(Lp. Harper:3200, LNoir:3200)

LNoir: "very well, my move! I attack your yariza with ancient gear dragon!"

Harper: "wrong! I reveal my facedown, gravity bind! Now no monsters level 4 or higher can attack!"
LNoir: "you've locked your own monsters as well."
Harper: "that may be, but yariza is level 3, so he can keep attacking you directly until I win!"
LNoir: "we'll see. I set a facedown and end my turn."
Harper: "I draw! And I..."
LNoir: not so fast! I chain dust tornado to your draw and destroy gravity bind. Too bad for you."
Harper: "ugh, no way!! (looks at what he drew) heh, never mind, this duel is over! I activate brain control, to take control of your ascilla piscu! Ascilla piscu and yariza! Attack him directly!"

(Lp. Harper:2400, LNoir:0)

For the first time since the duel had started, LNoir actually showed emotion and looked genuinely shocked. 

LNoir: "you... Beat me? But, how?"
Harper: "I don't know, I'm just good I guess. And lucky."
LNoir: "EXTREMELY lucky."
Harper: "heh, I guess you're right. Well, (looks at watch) I better get back to the real world, it was good dueling with you."
LNoir: "same to you... But hold up for a second. You may have been lucky, but I can tell you have skill. How would you like to join a duel academy? I think you may reach the top rank even. I'm a tester in the academy, would you like to join?"
Harper: "really? um, well... What academy is it? And what do you guys do really? I've heard very little about academies, except that... well, heh heh, some people think their members are stuck up."
LNoir: "hahaha, no, we're not stuck up, I can assure you. Our academy exists to help our members become better duelists in a variety of ways. We have tournaments, classes, and many other duelists of you skill level, however skilled you are. We all try to be friends."
Harper: "that sounds great!! I think I'll join, but we'll have to do it tomorrow because I have to leave Pseudospace soon."
LNoir: "very well. Our academy is Dueling Universe Academy, or DUA. We have a large plot space on the other side of the city from the KC hub. We are a newer academy, but our members are skilled, and we're on our way to becoming stronger."
Harper: "oh! I've seen that building before. Well, I'll see you tomorrow!"
LNoir: "see you then!"

After Harper left, LNoir returned to DUA. He walked down a stone path with statues of duel monsters lining the path on either side, and it lead to the pair of huge double doors of DUA. As he walked, LNoir saw another man leaning against a statue of dark magician. He was dressed basically the same as LNoir, with a white button-up shirt and black pants, but this man has longish black hair and his shirt was unbuttoned 2 or 3 buttons at the top. He was one of those guys who looked like he was perpetually grinning.

LNoir: "evening Scorpion, how was everything here?"
Scorpion: "oh, fine, a little slow today though, half day for classes, not many duels. So, how many people did you manage to destroy today haha?"
LNoir: "enough... But there was one who beat me." (scorpion's rogueish smile dissapeared)
Scorpion: "uh... WHAT? I thought you were just dueling random people at the KC hub, how did you lose?"
LNoir: "apparently there are still good people there, here's what happened"
 
(Lnoir relates the duel to Scorpion)

Scorpion: "oh I see, you were just testing a deck... And why didn't you win? Wait, you know you could have won right?"
LNoir: "yes, if I had used heavy storm on my last turn. I would indeed have won. Maybe i got careless, maybe I just wanted to see what he would do. But the point is the guy can think on his feet, that's for sure, and I'm interested how good he'll be once we train him."

As Scorpion and LNoir walk back inside the school, a cloaked figure walks out from behind a statue of Red Eyes B. Dragon where he had been eavesdropping, and dials a number on his cell phone.


Next time: Chapter 3: "A Duel In DUA, The Identity of LNoir!"
 

OMG !!! this chapter IS SO COOL !!!!!!!!! i cant waith to see the rest. The academy looks mysterious and vongola and I are looking like we are ploting something. Damn your story is AMAZING Harper !!! you need to keep this up :O

Nice Chapter Harper!!!I can't wait to kick in the story.I hope i am not the bad guy Upload the next quick plz

Thanks guys ^^, it's worth the effort since you enjoy it so
much.
@legendary frost: I feel bad that you won't be in the story for a while, so your character will be really epic
here's the next chapter:

   Harper woke up early the next morning, which was a bit surprising seeing as he hadn't slept much the previous night. A member of an actual duel academy! Him! And LNoir had said he might even make it to the top dorm . Harper had spent much of the night improving his Six Samurai deck to be at least twice as good as it had before. He had also researched DUA over Pseudospace's information network, so he knew pretty well what he was getting into. DUA was not in the Top Ten Academies yet, but it had a huge property and at least 80 students enrolled so far in the first 3 months. It seemed pretty promising to Harper, but then again, besides LNoir, he had no idea how good at dueling they really were. Why wait to find out though?
   He put on his standard silver and light blue KC duel disk on his arm, and got inside his Pseudopod, ready to enter Pseudospace. The great thing about Pseudospace was that you can appear anywhere you please in the entire virtual world when you first enter. After that though, you're on your own.

Harper: "Wow! It's even bigger than I remembered!"

Despite the academy being just on the outskirts of Pseudospace's version of Neo Domino City, it was situated in a valley close to some nearby mountains, making it seem close to nature, while not being far away from civilization. DUA indeed had gone the extra mile as far as housing, because while the Blackrose Dorm was one building, Archfiend Red had a number of little houses dotting the valley, and there were several impressive-looking Stardust Blue mansions as well. Not to mention the main headquarters of DUA, which was pretty big in and of itself. 

Harper: (thinking) "With any luck, this will be home"

Meanwhile...
*there is a knock at the door*

LNoir: "Come in dredor."

A young muscular teen with a violet blazer walked into LNoir's room. He had brown hair that stood straight up and wore a red bandana tied across his forehead. He wore an entirely violet duel disk and carried a golden one in his hand. He handed it to LNoir.

dredor: "Here's your duel disk sir."
*dredor looks around* 
"Is there some reason all the blinds are shut and the light is off?"
LNoir: *shrugs* 
"I can think better in the dark."
dredor: *rolls eyes* 
"Well anyway, are you testing any new members today?" 
LNoir: "Just one."
dredor: "Cool! Is he good?!"
LNoir: "Yes, he is."
dredor: *looking a little less excited* 
"I see. Well, I'm sure he wouldn't be interested in being friends with me then..."
LNoir: "Don't be so hard on your dueling skills dredor, and besides, he's a nice guy, I'm sure you'll be good friends."
dredor: "If you say so..."

LNoir grabbed a heavily faded black button-up shirt that was hanging from his four-poster bed. It was frayed heavily at the bottom as well, as if LNoir had got into dozens of fistfights, and been in several rainstorms while wearing it. And perhaps maybe it had been stepped on it a few time also. With dirty cleats.

dredor: "Good luck sir."
LNoir: "Thanks, but I don't need luck."

LNoir walked out of his room and descended the spiral staircase and out through the huge double doors leading to the courtyard behind DUA's main building, where there was a duel arena with 4 dueling areas. The seating was similar to a Roman coliseum's. As LNoir walked through the archway leading to the duel arena, he saw Scorpion leaning against the exit.

Scorpion: "Don't obliterate him before we get a chance to see what he's got now!"

Scorpion wagged his finger at him as he said that, but LNoir didn't slow his pace.

LNoir: "We'll see."

Meanwhile...
Harper was waiting in the duel arena for LNoir to arrive. A stardust blue student was the only one watching on the stands, so Harper decided to talk to him.
Harper: "Hey, I'm Harper, who are you?"
Stardust Blue: "Hey, my name's Fallen King! Nice to meet you Harper, I'm kind of new here too, I just tested last week and made it to Stardust Dorm. 
Harper: "Cool! Are the Stardust Dorms really nice?"
Fallen king: "They sure are! Each dorm building is like a mansion, but there's only 3 students per mansion, so we sure have lots of room. I don't have a roommate yet though, not a lot of people are making Stardust... Oh, here comes Vongola."
Harper: "Um... Isn't that LNoir?"
Fallen king: "Well, that's his name, but he also took the name Vongola Ten, or Vongola-x."
Harper: "Oh! The Vongola family, I've heard of them! Aren't they an Italian-based mafia that try to preserve peace, even by illegal means?"
Fallen king: "Uh... No. What kind of anime have YOU been watching? It is kind of similar to what you've said though. They're a family from Lithuania who are usually the top dueling teams in the world, and 'Vongola' is their leader. Vongola-IX was even the right-hand man to the president.
Harper: "The president? You mean Seto Kaiba?!"
Fallen king: "Yep! But this Vongola is really new at the moment, he's only been Vongola for about half a year. So far he's had an affinity for duel academies and that's about it so far. Maybe some day he'll be the leader of the greatest duel academy in all of Pseudospace or something like that. In any case, I'm interested how far he'll go in the world."
Harper: "Hm, so am I. He seems pretty good from what I've seen him do so far."
Fallen king: "You have no idea... Well good luck! Try to be my new dormmate in Stardust!"

Vongola walked up to his side of the arena and turned on his duel disk.

Vongola/Harper: "Let's duel!"

Next time: Chapter 4: "A Duel In DUA Pt. 2, The Test!"

:O Nice as always but you wrote Lithuania wrong

harper....THIS STORY IS EPIC!! can't wait to see my part in this also scorp seems kinda like gin ichimaru from bleach(doesn't talk much but u can always hear his brain gears moving)
