Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Back To The Past (Yu-Gi-Oh! Watty Awards 2017)

The Deck Thief: Part 1

(Due to complications for the chapter I wanted to do, I have decided to add this chapter first. As the title suggest, you can only guess who this chapter is about. That's right folks, it's time for Jaden to face off against Dimitri to retake Yugi's deck. Can Jaden be able to save his friends deck from a desperate student, or will he fall to Yugi's overwhelming legendary deck?)

Alexis POV

It was yet another boring day, sitting in lesson while listening to Professor Marcus teaching us how to fix our duel disks properly if they happened to get broken in anyway shape of form.

To be fair, I never really paid much attention to this kind of class. I mean, sure it was important to keep your gear safe and fixed. By then again, mechanics weren't really my thing. Plus, I kept on sneaking glances at Jaden and Yusei as they worked together. It was like they knew what the other was thinking and without saying anything, they gave each the other help. Also, they threw tools over their shoulders so one of the other two could grab them without looking and use them. I was impressed by that, because they worked really well in sync.

Just then, my almost barely done duel disk exploded into smaller pieces, which thankfully Professor Marcus didn't notice. Heck, he wasn't even looking at any of us - he had a magazine opened up and was staring intently on it with a pair of headphones on. I shook my head, and started gathering all the fallen pieces on the floor, and placing them on my work table.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I turned to see Jaden behind me. "Having trouble with that?"

My shoulders slumped, and I leaned my elbows on the table. "This isn't my area of expertise," I said miserably.

"Well, why don't me and Jaden help you out?" Yusei said, coming over to us, cleaning his hands from all the dust that was on them after repairing his set of duel disks. "I know it can't be easy for you to do something like this."

"You know what? Thank you!" I said in relief, finishing on grabbing all the essential parts needed for the duel disk. "This not my my kind of thing to do. Plus, it makes my hair bushy. I mean, look!"

I pointed up to my hair, which had grown wild like I was just electrified on the spot.

Jaden hummed, one arm crossed over his chest, while his right hand clutched at his chin. "Well, to be honest, it does seem a little on the wild side." He then winked and clicked his fingers. "But to be fair, I like that style of you. Makes you seem untameable."

I blushed at his comment. But that quickly got replaced by surprise when I saw how fast Yusei was going on fixing the duel disk on the table. His hands were practically flying all over the place, parts and screws and plating going here and there.

"Uh, I'm guessing you've had a lot of experience in mechanical engineering?" I asked.

Yusei briefly looked up before looking back down at the task. "I've spent my entire life working with machinery. It's a hobby I had to get use to. I've lived in a place known as the Satellite, and to be honest it's not the best of places to live in."

"How come?" I asked, my curiosity getting a hold of me. "What's the Satellite?"

Yusei looked to Jaden. "You know the story. I told you all about it."

Jaden nodded, before turning to me. "The Satellite is where Yusei was forced to live in. He was actually born in the future version of Domino City, but that all changed due to a...eh, I don't want to say a major incident, but yeah, a major incident."

"Zero Reverse," Yusei rolled his eyes. "My dad was into planetary particle science. The stuff generated enormous amounts of Ener-D: duel energy that was collected by the Ener-D Reactor, which in return proved to be an endless source of power for New Domino City. But only if it rotated in a positive direction."
