For the Definate Card Database of the cards in this story — well the ones which are real and not made up by me
This is my story of how my life changed for the better.
It began in the year 2010, gosh it seems so long ago. But as a part of my acceptance of what happened, I'm writing this so I can cope with it, well that’s what my Therapist says.
Oh I forgot, I should have mentioned my name, oopsie.
My name is Tanya Kaiba, that is not my birth name, but that is what this piece I am writing now is about.
My birth name is Sean Weston. Now you have realized reading this that my current name is female and my birth name is male.
This is where it gets interesting. How I got here; damn I forgot to mention the year, the year is 2995 as I am writing this piece in my holo diary.
Now back to 2010, when I was still male - I was a 24 year old male, average height, build somewhat of a lazy person who doesn’t exercise, ginger-ish hair and blue eyes. I had one passion in life, Yu-Gi-Oh card game/anime. I liked watching it and playing the card game. From time to time I would dream of various duels that happen with me being the main character; sometimes as a male and sometimes as a female - yes at the time I was undecided if I fit in the male gender - had odd thoughts that I would be better if I was female.
Enough about my gender shortcomings, as that would not be a problem for me much longer, as I would soon find out.
It was September 9th, when I decided to leave my house in the evening to go for a stroll around my local town. I walk around for a while, taking in the sights of the old place as it looks during the evening. I get this sudden feeling of dread, I could not place where this feeling was coming from, although I didn’t need to wait for long to find out what was causing this feeling.
For some reason I could see, hovering over the local car park a black cloud - yes a black cloud which was visible in the dark. Yeah, I know, sounds kinda stupid doesn't it. So my investigative nature overwhelmed my flight response to this situation. I went towards the car park and ascended inside the car park; at the time the stairs and lift were shut so I had go up through the car ramps to get to the top floor of the car park where I could see this black cloud.
Well it was more than a black cloud though, it was a 10 meter radius hemisphere of blackness which now I was close enough had purple in it as well. As I inched more closely to the funky dome of blackness, I was feeling waves flowing through me.
Had I known what was going to happen next I would have gotten the hell out of there, but as this is being written as a retrospective, you can kinda guess what happened next. So I got even closer till I could reach out and touch it and as I inched my hand closer to the surface of the hemisphere a tendril reached out from the sphere to touch my hand.
At first I was freaking out, well to be fair I was freaking out the moment I had reached the top of the car park, but by this point of time it became clear to me what was happening was not normal. Then as the tendril of blackness stroked me, it felt like something familiar - kinda like when you see something for the second time and it had been more that a few years between the viewings, then another tendril appears and seems to beckon me into the hemisphere.
That was the last time I remember things for a while - but the next thing I see is another chapter entirely.

Please leave comments and if there are any glaring spelling errors or html coding errors, i promise to have the next chapter of this story up soon - but heres a teaser for the next chapter title -
Well the next bit of this story occurs over 985 years later, although I'm not sure how I got to this time.
The circumstances of my arrival were told to me by my adopted mother - Selina Kaiba. The following is from her point of view - some scenes recorded and transferred to this holo diary are not for the fainthearted.
-Selina Kaiba-
-Log Date- -August 1st 2985- -08:00 UTC-
Well I have managed to perfect the portable Duel Disk system, taking inspiration from the Duel Disk system of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime. I am pleased with the results, although I don't get as much time to duel anymore since becoming the head of Kaiba Corp.
Also, I've been busy setting up Duel Academy. But I feel that my life is incomplete; I'm a 26 year old woman who's very good looking, but is single and unable to have children due to an accident which caused me to become head of Kaiba Corp when my father and mother died in a hovercar accident but I survived.
So I have been getting broody...
"Energy signal detected"
"Computer pause and save recording"
Now what's caused this energy signal?
"EVA, elaborate on the location of the energy signal."
"Energy signal has been detected in Kaiba Corp. Duel Dome."
"What type of energy, EVA."
"Unknown Miss Kaiba, but I am reading intense energy pulses coming from the energy signal and 1 human bio signature."
Hmm, need to get Kaiba Corp. Security and Medical there immediately.
"Miss Kaiba, I have taken measures outlined in the Emergency Response Program, I have already dispatched security and medical personnel to the location."
"Please note I have also have begun lock down procedures."
"Nice thinking EVA, I'll be heading to the Kaiba Dome immediately."
So I head to the lift and down to the basement to my personal hovercar. I activate the autopilot system and head to the Kaiba Dome.
By the time I get to the dome, which takes 10 minutes even in the hovercar - even in this time there is still traffic, I can see that the dome is sealed off by my personal security force and medical personnel are there already.
The Stadium is set up like the old football stadiums of the first decade of the 21st century - able to hold multiple events. Instead of a grass or AstroTurf football pitch, which admittedly it can have put in, it pays to diversify and to have multiple streams of money available to pay for upkeep of stuff and also be able to hold dueling tournaments.
So it has the ability to have 16 duel arenas pop up, like the ones shown in Duelist Kingdom in the anime but also have grandstands like in tennis tournaments. But also I have had the stadium upgraded to be used in conjunction with my new portable Duel Disk system. So the Dueling Field is now laid out like tennis courts and corresponds with the dueling arena.
As I am thinking this, I arrive at the main doors to the stadium. I stop when one of my security addresses me.
"Miss Kaiba, we have secured the stadium and have ascertained that there is no one here accept us and the bio signature in the stadium itself."
"Thank you for the status report."
The guard then leaves me.
As I was talking to the guard waiting for me I put in my earpiece for the remote connection to the EVA system back at Kaiba Corp. HQ.
"EVA, has there been any change to the energy signature in the last 10 minutes?"
"Yes Miss Kaiba, It seems that the energy signature, while not exact, is similar to the Kaiba Corp. Dueling System."
"Wait, are you saying that there could be dueling happening in the energy signature?"
"While I can only be 80% sure Miss Kaiba, it may be similar to what Shadow Games are in the historical anime archives of the Duel Monsters."
Upon this bit of information given by EVA, I grab my prototype Duel Disk and load up my deck. "Miss Kaiba, I have detected that your Duel Disk has gone online."
"Yes it has EVA."
"Are you planning something which can only be explained by human feelings?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Good luck Miss Kaiba."
I then walk up to the doors to the stadium; the doors open due to the built in security regulator in my Duel Disk. As I walk in and go up the stairs into the main stadium it's then I see it.
I could see, over what is the center dueling arena; it was a 10 meter radius hemisphere of blackness which I could see from there that it was purple as well now due to the enhanced lighting in the stadium. As I inched closer to the hemisphere I could hear in my head screaming. So I headed into the sphere with no thought at all.
What happens next is another story. But it shows that there is more to dueling than simple holograms.

Please leave comments and also if there are any glaring spelling errors or html coding errors please comment as well, heres the next chapter title -
As soon as I entered into the blackish, purplish, sphere of screams, I see a large area of the same stuff.
I reach towards my earpiece.
"EVA, Can you read me."
"Yes Miss Kaiba, I cannot be sure how I'm receiving your signal, I am currently reading your location as unknown."
"Hmm, makes sense with what I can see in my current location. That it seems to appear as a separate dimensional space."
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
"EVA, I have to go."
"Yes Miss Kaiba."
I suddenly rush forward towards where I can feel I heard the screaming emanating from.
Then I see what no one should see. I see lying on the floor, a 24 year old male, but I see parts of his body with exposed organs, hell he's missing an eye too.
I approach him, but he seems to be totally out of it. As I touch his shoulder there is a static electricity spark between me and him.
But then I feel a wave of power go though me and get a feeling I am being watched. I rise up and see standing before me, what shouldn't exist — Skull Servant, with blood dripping down its mouth.
"Ah, fresh meat."
"Wait, did you do this, to this poor human being?"
"Yes, he wondered into this place by complete accident."
"And you thought he would be a nice snack."
"Yes."
"If you are what I think you are, then why didn't you allow him to defend himself?"
"Ah, you are very knowledgeable, as he was. Unfortunately he did not have the mediums needed to defend himself — he kept on saying I don't have my cards. Which I believe is your medium to play the game which me and my kind have inspired."
"But I have brought my cards with me." I raise my Duel Disk.
"Ah, then what do you intend to do?"
"Well, I want to duel you for 2 reasons."
"Hmm, you wish to duel me, so I shall. What are the 2 reasons you mentioned?"
"Well the first one is obvious, to get you to go away."
"The second?"
"To allow me and him, to leave this place."
"Agreed. Hmm how to duel you. Ah, that is it. I feel that you are comfortable with the rules of the place that this shadow dimension now resides."
"Yes."
"8000 Life Points, no time limit. Don't Worry he wont die, unique property of this place, time stands still."
"That's comforting."
I activate my duel disk, and a duel disk appears on the arm of the Skull Servant.
"Let's Duel/Lets Duel"
I draw my hand of 5 Cards and so does the Skull Zombie.
Selina Kaiba LP: 8000 — Skull Servant LP: 8000
"I shall go first as the Challenger."
Skull draws one card as he does at the start of the turn.
"I shall set a monster card, face down. I shall also set 2 cards face down. Your turn, mortal."
I draw one card.
"I shall set 3 cards face down."
"I also summon Vorse Raider in attack mode."
[Vorse Raider is a 4 Star, Dark Attribute, Beast-Warrior Monster, with 1900 Attack Points and 1200 Defense Points.]
"Vorse Raider attack his face down card with Wicked Axe Slash."
"You have revealed my monster, Pyramid Turtle." [Pyramid Turtle is a 4 Star, Earth Attribute, Zombie Monster, with 1200 Attack Points and 1400 Defence Points.] "Pyramid Turtle is destroyed by your Vorse Raider's attack, but his effect activates."
[When Pyramid Turtle is destroyed, it allows its controller to go through their deck and find any Zombie monster with 2000 or less Defense Points. The controller is then allowed to Special Summon that monster.]
Skull Servant looks through his deck. "I shall special summon Ryu Kokki in attack mode." [Ryu Kokki is a 6 Star, Dark Attribute, Zombie Monster with 2400 Attack Points and 2000 Defense Points. When Ryu Kokki attacks a Spellcaster or Warrior monster, that monster then is destroyed at the end of the Damage Phase.]
Skull Servant then shuffles his deck.
"I shall end my turn."
Selina Kaiba LP: 8000 — Skull Servant LP: 8000
Skull Servant draws a card.
"I shall activate my face down card, Card of Safe Return." [Card of Safe Return is a Continuous Spell Card. Whenever a monster is special summoned to your side of the field from your graveyard, you may draw 1 card.]
"Ryu Kokki attack her Vorse Raider with Noxious Pounce."
"Sorry, but your attack won't hit my monster. I activate my face down card — Spellbinding Circle."
[Spellbinding Circle is a Continuous Trap Card. When this card is activated, select 1 monster. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, the selected monster cannot attack or change its battle position. When the selected monster is destroyed, this card is also destroyed.]
"So you have negated my attack, well then — I shall play 1 card face down. And end my turn."
"I draw."
"I play the spell card, Change of Heart." [Change of Heart is a Spell Card, which allows you to take control of a opponent's monster for one turn.]
"Now I tribute summon, by tributing Vorse Raider and your Ryu Kokki, to summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon." [Blue-Eyes White Dragon is an 8 Star Light Attribute Dragon Monster with 3000 Attack Points and 2500 Defense Points.]
"You have fallen into my trap; I activate Trap Hole." [Trap Hole is a Trap Card which can be activated when a monster is Normal or Tribute Summoned with 1000 or more Attack Points. The monster is destroyed.]
"Well I shall activate another face down card of mine; I activate Seven Tools of the Bandit." [Seven Tools of the Bandit is a Counter Trap Card which can be activated by spending 1000 Life Points to negate the activation of a trap card, and destroy it.]
Selina Kaiba LP: 7000 — Skull Servant LP: 8000
"Now as I was about to say, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack Skull Servant directly with White Lightning."
Selina Kaiba LP: 7000 — Skull Servant LP: 5000
"I shall end my turn there."
Skull Servant draws a card.
"I shall activate a card from my hand, the spell card, Book of Life." [Book of Life is a Spell Card which allows its controller to Special Summon a Zombie Monster from their Graveyard, by removing an opponent's monster in their graveyard from play.]
"I shall select to revive my Pyramid Turtle in defense mode, and remove your Vorse Raider from play. I also activate the effect of my Card of Safe Return and draw one card."
"Well I shall activate my remaining face down card, Jar of Greed." [Jar of Greed is a Trap Card which allows its controller to Draw 1 Card from there deck.]
"I shall end my turn by placing 1 card face down."
"I draw."
"I shall summon Lord of Dragons in attack mode." [Lord of Dragons is a 4 Star Dark Attribute Spellcaster Monster with 1200 Attack Points and 1100 Defense Points]
[It has the following effect, while this card remains face-up on the field all Dragon-Type Monsters cannot be targeted by Spell Cards, Trap Cards, or the effects of monsters that designate a target.]
"I shall now activate Card of Sanctity." [Card of Sanctity is a Spell card which when activated allows both players to draw up to 6 cards.]
"I will now activate, Flute of Summoning Dragon." [Flute of Summoning Dragon is a Spell card which can only be activated when Lord of Dragons is face-up on the field, it allows the player to Special Summon up to 2 Dragon Monsters from their hand.]
"Wait, you don't mean you can have 2 more dragons without tributing?"
"Yes, and I special summon from my hand 2 more Blue-Eyes White Dragons."
"Well I shall activate Tribute to the Doomed." [Tribute to the Doomed is a spell card which is activated by discarding 1 card from your hand, when this is done Destroy 1 Monster on the field.]
"I discard 1 card from my hand, to use Tribute to the Doomed on your Pyramid Turtle."
"Now I Attack with my 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons, Triple White Lightning."
Selina Kaiba LP: 7000 — Skull Servant LP: 0
Everything disappears involving the duel, and Selina's Duel Disk goes to the standby position.
"Cough, Cough, You have won and as per our rules of engagement, you are free to leave with the male of your species and I shall go."
"But I feel the male will not be able to survive the damage I have done to him."
Skull Servant disappears, then I walk over to the male who is still screaming. I don't know what I need to do, I wish I could help him in any way I can. Then there's a flash of light and the shadowy arena disappears leaving me in the center duel court/arena with what was a 24 year old male who now looks like a 12 year old girl.
Now how do I explain this.

“Oh, boy.”
“EVA, tell security and medical personnel that it is safe to come into the stadium.”
“Yes, Miss Kaiba.”
I slump to the ground, damn that duel felt real. Could it have been a shadow duel, like in the anime?
I turn to look at the girl now laying on the floor who seems to be absolutely naked. She seems to be in a state of sleep and is breathing in and out fine.
Then I realized, looking at the girl, she has similar features to me. It could almost be that she has now become my daughter, although I need EVA to run the appropriate tests.
I take my long cloak off me, and cover the young girl with it. To preserve her dignity.
The medical personnel come in with the security guards flanking them. One of the medics approach me with the rest dealing with the young lady.
“Miss Kaiba, I need to check you for any injuries from your activities today.”
“The girl needs more attention than I do.”
“While I admire the selflessness of that statement, I believe you employ me to do my job.”
The medic gets out a medical scanner and scans me over. She looks at me, then the scanner.
“Miss Kaiba, you appear to have lost half of your total blood supply.”
“How could that happen, I feel fine?”
“Well, while you feel fine Miss Kaiba, you are not. Now would you let me give you the blood packs so I can restore your blood back to normal?”
“Yes, you can.”
I hate needles, I really do.
The medic then inserts enough needles into me to make me look like a hedgehog. Then she attaches blood packs to each one.
While this is going on, the girl whom I had covered up with my long cloak and the medical personnel who are treating her, bring out a hover patient board and place her on there and begin to take her out.
“Guys, you need to take here to my private medical suite at Kaiba Corp. HQ, she needs privacy.”
“Yes Miss Kaiba.”
“EVA, status report on stadium.”
“The stadium has not suffered any adverse effects; only personnel with any injuries are you and the girl you are bringing back home with you.”
“Thank you EVA, can you prep the medical suite?”
“I was already informed by the medical personnel, Miss Kaiba.”
“Ah, just making sure that it was prepared.”
The girl was arriving at the ambulance at this point. I was now completely refilled with blood and was allowed to go to the ambulance unaided.
“Miss Kaiba, I would like to make a suggestion.”
“Yes, EVA. What would this suggestion be?”
“If I was built correctly, I assume what your course of action is going to be in regards to this girl. I believe that you want to assume custody of the girl.”
“EVA, I did build you right and yes I want to have custody of the girl. I just feel that she is my daughter in my heart.”
“I shall get preparations under-way; I assume the name will have to wait.”
“Yes, I have a distinct feeling that she might have a name picked out for herself already. EVA, begin searching for personnel who can help with adjustment of this girl. Also send a request to Maxine Pegasus, for a meeting as soon as possible at Kaiba Corp. HQ.”
“Tasks are underway.”
Before I get into the ambulance, I activate my car's auto-parking feature to drive home and park in my space at Kaiba Corp. HQ. Then I get in the ambulance with the girl and strap myself in; damn I did not realize how much blood I lost. It takes 6 minutes to get back to the HQ.
One unique feature of the HQ is that the medical suite at Kaiba Corp. has a direct vehicle access for hover vehicles, so much faster than those old fashioned lifts. I know we have arrived when the back door is opened and I am beckoned to get out.
Which I do and the girl on the medical hover board is taken directly to the private suite. Well I have medical space for 12 people to be treated and also have a surgical theater and medical diagnosis facilities.
When I reach the suite, the female doctors who are on stand-by are there; they have already taken my long coat off and placed it to the side folded up. I notice one of the doctors is trying to talk to me. I tap my com-piece.
“Yes, Doctor Fanton?”
“Miss Kaiba, I have some good news.”
“What's that?”
“Congrats, it's a girl.”

Please leave comments and also if there are any glaring spelling errors or html coding errors please comment as well, heres the next chapter title -
"You only said that, 'cause it's funny."
"Well yeah I did, but as far as we can tell on a level 1 diagnostic, she's 100% female."
"Well she was male when I found her initially."
"Then what happened?"
"Well after the duel I had, which was a shadow duel and used up some of my own life force in that duel."
"Wait, you mean shadow duels are real?"
"Appears so."
"Back to the young lady."
"Well she had injuries to the chest, abdomen and one of her eyes was ripped out."
"Ouch."
"Yeah, ouch indeed. Then I wished I could do something to help her and a flash of light happened and the 24 year old male I had found initially, became a 12 year old girl also coinciding with the shadow game area dissipating. So I think I had somehow with the power of the shadow realm, repaired her, but for some reason she became a female."
"Hmm, we have read some energies coursing through her, which we have matched to the energy readings which EVA had observed earlier. So without experimenting I would say they could have changed her genetic structure to female."
"Doc, when you have the chance, can you match some of her DNA to mine?"
"Why?"
"Well I have a theory why I lost so much blood. That whatever helped to heal her, took some of my blood to help replace her blood and change her body."
"Well from what we can tell, her body is average for a 12 year old girl on the onset of puberty."
"Damn that's going to be fun; teaching her about the female body. At least she was made an age where puberty had not set in yet."
"Well, good luck to you."
Then the doc went back to the girl. With the rest of the medical team helping they where beginning to conduct the level 2 diagnostic — body imaging, and blood tests.
"Miss Kaiba, I have received the message from Miss Pegasus, she has agreed to the meeting here at Kaiba Corp."
"Thank you, EVA. Oh can you send another message to Maxine, telling her to bring the card database and printing machines with her?"
"Message sent, Miss Kaiba. I am assuming you are asking this so we can give something to this girl when she wakes up and has adjusted."
"You're right there EVA, I have programmed you well."
"Well I am based on a neural print of yourself, Miss Kaiba."
"That's correct."
"Miss Kaiba, do you want me to start the procedures for the girl, to attend Duel Academy."
"Yes, although put it on the system as needing approval first. That way she can refuse this offer. EVA can you get her measurements from the medical database and start manufacturing Kaiba Corp. Duel Disk System no.002."
"Done, Miss Kaiba, time to completion of Duel Disk System — 12 hours."
"Good EVA, prepare a news blackout on the stadium."
"Already in place, Miss Kaiba — as per the Kaiba Dome Emergency Response Program. I assume you want to use the event to give the reason as it was being done as Emergency Response Exercise."
"Yes, that would be suitable."
Dr. Franton comes up to the window again.
"Miss Kaiba, level 2 tests are done. We can confirm that she is 100% female, down to the cellular level."
"Is my hypothesis correct?"
"Yes it is, she is genetically your daughter, it seems her previous male self was the genetic male half of the equation."
"I recommend that we move her to your private room here in the medical suite, so it's somewhere less threatening."
"I concur, I'll meet you there in a couple of minutes, I need to go and get changed and freshened up."
"Meet you in a few then, Miss Kaiba."
I head off to the elevator to my room which is right by the private suite of mine here in the Medical Suite. Then I proceeded once in my penthouse suite, to shed all my clothes — minus underwear - and head to the bathroom. While heading to the bathroom...
"EVA, do you think we need to sort a room out for the girl yet here in my penthouse."
"Maybe, Miss Kaiba — you do have several guest rooms here, I would recommend the one nearest your room, Miss Kaiba."
"Yes that would be a good idea, we can always have the room decorated at a later date, to suite her tastes."
I get to the bathroom, and strip off completely and take a nice shower. Then I get out of the shower and head to my room — there are so many advantages having one way privacy glass, being able to prance around naked.
I get to my room, and pick out bra and knickers, and decide on t-shirt and shorts also trainers to wear. So I can appear to be more approachable to the girl when she wakes up. Once dressed I head back down to the medical suite.
As I can see she had been put into my room, with no medical equipment attached to her. Doc must be sure that she's 100% healthy. So I sit down in the chair in the room, with my Duel Disk next to me — which was moved here from the ambulance. I take out my deck from the duel disk, pull over the swing table to over by the chair, and set my deck on it.
I look through my deck for my 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons and lay them in front of the deck. Damn I have been lucky today. If it wasn’t for these 3 guys turning up at the right time. I don’t know what would have happened. As I think that, I hear 3 Calls of the Blue-Eyes White Dragons. Its almost if they approve of how I used them today.
Then I hear moaning from the bed.
"Damn what happened to me." I look around and see that I am in a private room which could be at a hospital. Then I see a woman sitting in a seat next to my bed, with a Duel Monsters deck in front of her and 3 Blue-eyes White Dragons.
"Who are you."
"I'm the person who found you."
"Oh, the last thing I remember I was being dragged into a sphere of black-purple stuff."
"Ah so you do not remember meeting anything weird."
"No.." she shudders. "Actually now that you said it, I though I met a real-life Duel Monster.... No that didn’t happen did it?"
I get up from my seat and stand next to her, I give her a hug.
"Yes it did happen to you, I found you in such a bad state."
"It started to attack me, the Skull Servant. When I couldn’t defend myself — I didn’t have my dueling deck with me."
"I saved you, from that Skull Servant."
"Thank you, but wait a second, I feel wrong."
"You do?"
"Yeah, I feel something's missing."
"Ah, seeing as you know about Duel Monsters, the area you were in was a Shadow Realm Arena."
"I though I recognized it, but that’s from an anime I watch."
"Oh, what is the year then?"
"Well its September 9th 2010."
"Ah, your not in 2010 any more."
"I'm not?"
"No. You're now in August 1st 2995."
"I have time traveled though the Shadow Realm?"
"Yes, it appears you have."
"Oh, so how am I now feeling fine?"
"Well I sort of wished to help you. But there was a side effect."
"What kind of side effect."
"Well to put it bluntly as possible. You are a 12 year old girl now."
"I'm WHAT?!"

"How can I be a 12 year old girl?"
Not that I mind, it gives me a chance to be a proper girl.
"Well it seems that you transformed when I wanted to help you in the shadow realm."
"Oh."
"Well it seems that to repair you, it took the closet source of complete human to help in the reconstruction process."
"You mean, you."
"Yes, I lost half my blood supply and some bone marrow too as well."
"Ouch, I though 2010 was good on medical technology, it must have improved now that I am in 2995."
"You're taking this 985 year jump rather well."
"Always wanted to see what the future is, plus you have the only thing I have worth living for here, Duel Monsters."
"That can't be the only thing you lived for."
"I was an outcast back in 2010; I was a guy who was not sure that they were a guy or a girl."
"At least you get to be a girl now."
"Yeah, but who is going to be looking after a 12 year old girl, that their only comfort in life is Duel Monsters?"
"Well you know I just told you what happened to me, when I wished to help you in anyway possible?"
"Yeah, my memory is not that bad you know."
"Well it seems with the use of my blood and bone marrow, in rebuilding you, you have become my daughter."
"You sure on that?"
"Well they haven’t done complete workup yet of your blood. But if I'm correct you're now technically your own daughter, with your male DNA being the father."
"That is cool."
"Why are you so cool with that?"
"I am in the body I wanted, I always wanted to be a girl."
"Wait, you mean you're transgender of some form?"
"Yeah."
"Well, seeing as you are my daughter by all rights, do you want to live with me?"
"Yeah, seeing as you play Duel Monsters." I point to her deck and the 3 laid out Blue-Eyes.
"I do dabble in the card game."
"You more than dabble." I point towards the duel disk.
"Ah, I see you noticed that."
"Yeah."
"Well that’s the first duel disk to be created."
"Oh, you only have duel arenas?"
"Yeah, but those were developed by me and a friend of mine."
"Who is this friend of yours?"
"Maxine Pegasus, CEO of Industrial Illusions."
"Wait, you mean someone has become a real-life version of Pegasus from the anime/manga?"
"Well, a female version."
"Wait, is there a version of Seto Kaiba here? And also Kaiba Corp?"
"Yes, there is."
"Wait."
"Yeah, what is on your mind?"
"You have just said to me, your friend is Maxine Pegasus. And the fact you helped in building the duel arena's. Must mean you're the head of Kaiba Corp."
"I am, and to formally introduced myself, I am Selina Kaiba — CEO of Kaiba Corp. Also, it seems, genetically your mother."
"Yeah, well I was Sean Weston, but I think that would not be any use anymore."
"Yeah, so you have a name you want now?"
"Well I think Tanya would suit me."
"Tanya, Tanya Kaiba — nice to meet you."
Doctor Franton turns up in the room.
"Ah, I see she's awake."
"I have chosen a name, doc."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Tanya, Tanya Kaiba — I want Selina to be my adopted mum — I feel getting me as her natural daughter would be difficult to explain."
"Selina, you feel you're ready to be a mum?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Well, the stage 3 tests are done. It's as we thought, Tanya's genetically 100% female and is expected to live a full, natural female life."
"You mean full female bodily functions, Doc?"
"Yes, I expect puberty to start soon."
"Cool, so when can I get out of this place and getting up to speed with 30th Century Technology?"
"Well now, really."
"Well before I get out of here can I get some clothes?"
"Miss Kaiba, I have already gotten some mufti clothes ordered."
"EVA, sometimes it's scary what you do."
"I know."
"Wait, you have AI’s?"
"Yep, this one is unique though."
"Well, Miss Kaiba and Tanya I'll be leaving you to your business, you can both reach me via the Kaiba Corp. communications network."
So Doctor Franton leaves. Then there is a knock at the door.
"Come in."
"Miss Kaiba, package of clothes here for the young girl."
I get up, and go over and get the package from one of the security people and then he leaves.
"Well, you think you'll be able to change your clothes, Tanya?"
"Yeah."
I bring the clothes package over to the bed, pick up all of my deck and duel disk.
"Well I have everything, if you need any help — just say 'call Selina' — and the system will call me up."
"Nice."
I leave the room and head back up to my place.
"Well lets get myself into some stuff then."
I get changed into the clothes which had been ordered by the AI — EVA, they fit rather nicely. No shoes though but there are socks. So once I have gotten everything on:
"EVA?"
"Yes, Tanya."
"Well, I am changed, were do I go now?"
"Well, if you wait a moment I have the lift next to the suite down here ready for you. Have not got all the systems updated with you on there yet."
"Thank You, EVA."
"Pleasure to help, Miss Kaiba."
"Can you call me Tanya, so no confusion happens between me and Selina?"
"Noted, Tanya. The lift is now down and ready for you."
"Okay."
I leave the suite, and head to the elevator which is next door. Then I enter it, and the doors then close.
"Tanya I have activated the elevator to go to the Penthouse — Arrival in 5 Seconds."
It arrives quickly and the doors open, it's a massive penthouse and I see Selina come out of what I suppose to be her room, with one difference — a deck holder on her belt
I step out. Then she gestures to the sofa and we both sit down.
"Tanya, you managed to get up here fine."
"Yeah, I notice you carry your deck with you."
"Yeah, makes me feel safe."
"Cool, so what now?"
"Well I have to get EVA to finish registering you as my adoptive daughter, fit a room here to be yours, get you your duel deck here in 2995 and also get you registered for the first year of Duel Academy which is starting this year."
"Wait, I'll be going to Duel Academy?"
"Yeah, and it's like in the anime, separated into dorms."
"So you want me to go there as a student."
"Yep, and you'll be an Obelisk Blue and you don't have to do the entrance exam seeing as you know duel monsters."
"True, so with you only just building the duel disks, you holding the entrance exams at the Kaiba dome which you own."
"Yeah."
"I still want to do the exam."
"Wait, why?"
"So I know that I am capable of passing."
"So you want it as an exhibition match, but not for the tester to know?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, that works."
"How long before the entrance exam?"
"3 Weeks. That should give me enough time to produce enough duel disks."
"So when will I be getting mine?"
"Well, about 10 hours or so."
"Cool, so it'll be a similar one to yours or what the dual academy ones are going to be?"
"Like mine, in every aspect."
"Cool."
"Miss Kaiba, Miss Pegasus is about 5 minutes away."
"Thank you, EVA."
"Wait, she's coming here Selina?"
"Yeah, I need to get her approval for the duel disks and she's bringing something along for you."
"Cool."
"So you feel up to meeting another CEO?"
"So you want me to meet the head of Industrial Illusions? Oh, yes I do."

"So, you think she'll like me? Miss Pegasus I mean?"
"Well she should, I would like to see the look on her face when you match her on knowledge of the card game though."
"That would be funny to see. So if Miss Pegasus is the head of Industrial Illusions and is based upon the Pegasus I know from the card game — does she have the portable card making machine?"
"She does, and she is bringing it here. That is what I was referring to as something for you — plus some other things too. But I don't know what she could be bringing along with her."
"Okay, I assume she has her deck with her though?"
"Yeah, I think you might know what type, too."
"Toons."
"Yeah, although I don't like the fact she has a Toon version of my Blue-Eyes white dragon." I pout.
"Well, she's gonna have 2 Toon version's of cards in my old deck, Toon Dark Magician Girl and Toon Gemini Elf."
"So you remember what was in your deck?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Miss Kaiba, Miss Pegasus has arrived. She is taking the express elevator up to the penthouse."
"Thank you, EVA."
We turn around to look at the doors, then they open and out steps a 32 year old women , with black hair, wearing a t-shirt and jeans, trainers and carrying 2 cases.
She comes over to the seating area and sits down in the single seat, placing the cases on the table in front of her.
"Ah, Selina. Nice to be invited once more to Kaiba Corp."
"Nice to have you over Maxine."
Maxine turns to face Tanya.
"Ah, who's this young girl, is she one of the employee's daughters who has escaped their parents and has ended up here with the CEO?"
"No, Tanya here is something which requires a bit of explaining but for now I can say she's gonna be my daughter."
"Wait, you decided to adopt this young girl?"
"Yeah, I was getting broody."
"Ah, so Tanya how's your day been?"
"Crazy, but I have met on the same day, the 2 people who are the controlling interests in Duel Monsters."
"Yes, that is true."
Then 3 noises comes out from one of the cases, powerful sounding noises.
"Did anyone hear that noise?"
"Yes/Yes."
"It's different from the Blue-Eyes call I heard earlier."
"Wait, you heard my 3 Blue-Eyes calling out?"
"Yeah I did, Selina."
"Wait, this is unprecedented."
"Well Maxine, the Shadow Realm is real."
"It is?"
"Yeah, I rescued Tanya from there. A Shadow Realm appeared in the Kaiba Dome about 3 hours ago."
"Oh."
"Well I had to do a Shadow game though, luckily," I pick up my duel disk. "I had this with me."
"Ah, you finished the prototype Duel Disk."
"Yeah."
The noise comes out again from one of the boxes.
"Maxine what have you brought along with you?"
"Ah, the extra surprise."
"Well I have managed to create the 3 strongest Duel Monsters in the history of the anime, in reality."
"Wait, Miss Pegasus, you have not made the 3 Egyptian God Cards, have you?"
"You can call me Maxine dear Tanya, and yes I have."
She opens the smaller of the 2 boxes and takes out another box which is big enough to have 3 cards side by side.
"Bear in mind, these are going to be the only 3 in existence."
"Ah, you decided to take the same precaution the anime Pegasus did."
"Yes."
Maxine then puts both of the bigger boxes on the floor and then opens the Egyptian God Card box, then we all hear the 3 cries of the Egyptian God Cards.
"That sounds so beautiful."
"Yeah it does."
"Well, Tanya, what do you think should be done with these 3?"
"Hmm, well if they are going to be like they should be, they should only be used by someone with the right spirit."
"My thoughts exactly. The reason I have brought the god cards with me is that I made a promise to Selina that I would show any new cards to her first."
"But I think Selina is not the right holder of these cards."
"Yes, but what about you?"
"You want someone you only just met to hold the 3 most powerful cards in all Duel Monsters?"
"Yes, I can tell you have the right attitude."
Then I walk over to the cards.
Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor and The Winged Dragon of Ra — the most powerful cards in all of duel monsters, and if I was correct these guys are not just the cards but also focuses for the real versions of these cards.
"I'll take them, but only on one condition."
"What is that Tanya?"
"I only use them when I want to. I don't want to flaunt them."
"Sensible outlook, Tanya — I also have this." she pulls out a necklace with a Duel Monster card holder on it. "This card holder will protect these cards regardless of conditions."
She hands the Necklace over to me, I put it on, but currently leave the cards in the box.
"I take it, I get the box too?"
"Yeah." I pick the box up and close it, and put it on my lap.
"Well Maxine, want to give my daughter her other present?"
"Ah, yes." She brings up the bigger case. "This case here is something which is a close secret of mine and Selina's. Also now yours."
Maxine opens the case and there is what can only be described as a miniature printing press.
"Wait, is that a portable Duel Monster card press?"
"How astute of you, Tanya."
"I was asked to bring this along as a favor to Selina."
"Well Tanya, I wanted you to have the opportunity to rebuild your Duel Monsters deck."
"Oh, cool."
"EVA, link up Holo Interface and Card Database to the IL Mini Press."
"Already done Miss Kaiba."
Then in front of me, 2 holographic screens appear, one which is a card database, the other is a deck window.
"I take it, this works with using my finger movements to move the appropriate card from the card database to the deck window?"
"Yep, and don't forget there are filter windows."
"Well this might take a while guys."
"Take all the time you need Tanya Kaiba, me and your mother Selina will be in her office discussing some important business. Oh, there is no limit on how many cards apart from I only have card stock for 400 cards here."
"Wow, I don't think I'll be building more than 2 decks anyhow."
"Well it's there if you need it. Shall we go into the office, Selina?"
"Yeah, and oh Tanya, I'll leave the door open so you can shout to me."
They get up and go to what looks like a very nice door, with her name on it and enter. At least she doesn't have to go far from home to work. I notice the door is left ajar enough.
"EVA."
"Yes, Tanya."
"Can I get some food I am rather peckish."
"What would you like to eat."
"Hmm, do you have a visual database for the kitchen?"
"We do, Tanya. I'm opening a new holo-screen now."
I look at the holo-screen which has overlaid and put the card/deck screens to the back, that's cool. I look through the database and order a pint of Coke, chips, and spicy breaded chicken.
"Order acknowledged, order will be done in 30 minutes."
"Oh EVA, can you order for Maxine and Mum their normal drinks, I assume you have this on record?"
"Yes I do, should I include a note saying you ordered this for them?"
"Yeah, that would be a good idea."
The food screen disappears and I continue building my deck. When I get to selecting the mainstay monster I imagine it in front of me. Along with the 3 Egyptian God Cards. I get a feeling of approval from their spirits.

Overall it takes me 30 minutes to make my original deck.
Once I'm finished, one of the staff arrives with my lunch.
"Thank you."
"Your welcome, Tanya."
"Wait, did EVA already input me on the system as Tanya Kaiba?"
"Yes, she has."
"Ah, cool. Don't you think you should get the drinks to my Mum and Maxine Pegasus?"
"Oh, I should."
She lays my food and drink down on the table next to the card machine. Then proceeds to take the drinks and note to my Mum's office. She knocks.
"Yes?"
"Miss Kaiba, I have been instructed to deliver these drinks to you."
"Oh. Bring them in."
I see one of the kitchen staff enter, with a tray with 2 drinks and a note. The drinks I noticed are mine and Maxine's regular drinks. She sets down the tray and sets the drinks and note out. Then she leaves.
"Well Selina, who’s got us the drinks this time?"
I pick up the note.
"Well Maxine, it seems." I read the note. "Well well, it seems Tanya got the drinks for us."
"That's thoughtful of her."
"Well." I pop my head out. "Tanya thank you for the drinks you got me and Maxine."
"Yeah, thought I should get some drinks while I ordered food."
"Good thought."
"Well I'll leave you to your discussion." I sit back down.
"Well Maxine, what do you think of the Duel Disk system?"
"It shall bring dueling to the masses."
"Good, so do I have the go ahead for the production of the Duel Disks?"
"Yes."
"That’s good then, I have already started on Tanya's Duel Disk."
"Oh, where's mine?"
"Miss Pegasus, yours is underway."
"EVA, you already started?"
"Yes, Miss Kaiba. I anticipated your actions and started on Miss Pegasus' Duel Disk."
"Well Selina, how long until I get my duel disk?"
"Miss Pegasus, it will be 11 hours."
"That is good."
Meanwhile, back with Tanya...
"Hmm, what to do now?"
I look over at my deck; it will serve me well. Wait a sec, I have the opportunity to build another deck — hmm.
I start using the deck machine to build a deck idea of mine. I do find out that 8 cards I want for this deck have not been issued yet.
A few hours pass, and I'm completely absorbed in building my second deck and checking out what cards are available. The passage of time is brought to bear when I hear coughing.
I look up, and see Maxine and Mum setting down, chatting and looking at me occasionally.
"Oh, how long you been there Mum?"
"Been here for 2 hours."
"Oh, sorry, got a bit absorbed in building my deck."
"Don’t worry, I have had the same thing when building my deck."
"Same thing here as well, Tanya."
"Oh, cool. So anything you want to tell me?"
"Well, Maxine is allowing the duel disks to go ahead, which means duel academy will be getting them."
"Cool, will they be different to the ones me and you have, mum."
"Yes, Maxine is getting one like ours."
"Cool."
"Yes, very much so."
"So you think people will adapt to this way of dueling?"
"Yes."
"So the entrance exams for the Duel Academy are later on this month; will the duel disks be used in the examinations?"
"Yes."
"Cool, I have my 2 decks ready now, Mum."
"Oh?"
"Oh, what decks have you built Tanya?"
"Well, I have built 2 decks inspired by monsters which Yugi Moto has used in the anime."
"You do not mean?"
"Yep, Dark Magician and Exodia."
"Ah, I take you noticed that Exodia has not been released yet?"
"Yeah, but also taking the other 2 Exodia monsters, too."
"Oh, going for theme there then, daughter?"
"Mum, that’s the first time you have called me daughter."
"Oh, sorry dear, I'm getting used to being a mother."
"How touching."
"Shut up, Maxine."
"I was only jesting."
"I know that."
"Well, Mum, Maxine I have decided I'll use an Egyptian god card in the entrance exam I'll be doing, which is an exhibition match — except the examiner won't know it or that I am a Kaiba, either. But the problem is how do we explain how I have them?"
"Well, we could always say that you impressed me with some dueling spark and also card ideas."
"That could work, Maxine."
"Yeah, so which one you going to use then?"
"I’m not sure, either Obelisk, which is my dorm colour and the first god card featured in the anime, or Winged Dragon of Ra and use the chant — well I have to use the chant due it being an actual duel monster."
"Hmm, I would say Obelisk, but I am a Kaiba."
"Yeah, that’s true Mum. But Ra is more impressive."
"Yeah, I would agree with Tanya, Ra would be more impressive — plus it has all its abilities, including secret ability."
"Oh that will be fun to use. I hope using the LP one won't reduce my body at the same time."
"It should not do, considering it has chosen you, and you're summoning it in a non-shadow game."
"True, better say bless our humble game then."
"Yeah/Yeah."
"Cool."
"So, you think you need some duel practice then Tanya?"
"Yeah, but only doing it inside Kaiba Corp."
"Yeah, do not want people to realize you have some powerful cards."
"Yeah, plus I want to see if I can do some freaky shadow magic. You never know, I might be able to summon duel monsters in reality."
"That would be cool, but don’t try to summon the 3 Egyptian god cards or Exodia in any of its forms."
"Yeah, that would be bad juju."
"Yes, I would not want to have to explain that one to my board of directors at Industrial Illusions."
"So the first time you see me dueling will be at Kaiba Corp. Dome."
"Yes, oh Tanya?"
"Yes, Maxine?"
"You can have the card printer, as a present from me to you. But remember you must ask for any cards which haven’t been released yet."
"Thank you Maxine."
I go over and hug her.
"You going to be there Maxine, for the examination duels?"
"Yes I will."
"Cool, so I'll be ready to say in a month: It's time to duel!"

August 29th 2995 — Holo-Diary Entry 2
Well it has been 28 days since I have arrived here in the 30th century.
I am only writing this entry now, cause I have been so busy. I have had to get used to now being in a female body, which includes all the female bodily functions. Yes I have had my first period; now that was a shock but I am used to it now.
Well after I had a good night's sleep after that first day, Mum or Selina Kaiba as she is known, took me shopping the next day. Apparently overnight I have had a new identity constructed and that now makes me Tanya Kaiba, daughter of Selina Kaiba. Damn EVA moves quick.
Well I was spoiled for choice on shopping, Mum took me to around all of the shops, so I now have my own fully kitted out wardrobe. Which is neat; also got my Duel Academy uniform as well in the month which has passed.
Oh, Mum decided to give me a job at Kaiba Corp. She made me VP in Dueling Technology — so I get to give my opinion on any dueling product developed by Kaiba Corp. SO awesome.
Mum took me to meet the head of duel academy — Franton Sheppard. When she found out that Mum now had a daughter, me, she freaked out. Once she had calmed down, we explained the idea for the entrance exam I would be taking, she agreed with the fact I would be dueling as Tanya Weston not Tanya Kaiba.
Also at the same time, we had taken some of the new Duel Disks to the meeting to show Mrs. Sheppard. She was impressed and agreed with what we had already figured out that would make dueling so much better.
After we finished there, nothing much happened over the next few weeks, apart from my first psychologist session. Brr I hate mind shrinks.
But something I did discover over the month, I am connected to the shadow realm now. I can't summon a duel monster yet, but I can summon a shadow realm pocket and also detect the stuff, although poor EVA, still can't figure out the shadow realm.
Oh well, I have to finish here, cause I’m about to go to the Kaiba Dome for the entrance exam for Duel Academy.
Holo-Diary Entry 2 — Ends
I get up from my nice comfy bed, and get dressed in jeans and tank top combo, pick up deck holders and attach them to the belt on my jeans. One on each hip, then I place my Exodia deck in my left deck holder. I pick up my Dark Magician deck, I pick up one of the god cards and put it in the deck, then put the deck in my right deck holder.
Then I take the 2 remaining god cards and put them in the card holder necklace, which I then put on around my neck. Then from the table nearest my bed which now has my duel disk resting on it, I strap it on my left arm.
Then I pick up my communication ear piece, and then head out of my room, to see Mum and Maxine there waiting for me.
"Hi, Mum. Hi Maxine. You giving me a lift to Duel Dome?"
"Yeah."
"Well shall we get there, so I can see my fellow classmates?"
We head over to the lift in the penthouse; I notice now that both Maxine and my Mum are wearing their duel disks. We head down to the parking level.
Then we stride out along the parking level — till we get to one of the Kaiba Corp. hover limos and we all get in the back. If I did not say that I was nervous at this point I would be lying. It takes 10 minutes to reach the Kaiba Dome. It looks more impressive now, with all of the activity for the Duel Academy entrance exams going on, than it did when mum took me to see it last week.
We park in the VIP area, and we all get out. The nice thing is being VIP, is that Mum can have it that there are no cameras covering us getting out and getting to the building. Also the fact is with people under the age of 16, the exams won't be recorded by anyone who isn’t Kaiba Corp. or Duel Academy staff.
Although my exam is going to be filmed, cause it won't be an exam but an ideal opportunity to show what gift I now have. But this gives me the same pressure as if I was doing a proper exam.
We walk towards the building. Mum and Maxine go in the VIP entrance, I wave to them, they wave back. I head to the front entrance to sign up. I knew already I would be last to be examined, so I get in the queue. I begin hearing the conversation in front of me.
"Well I hope I get in this year."
"You should, I think they need the numbers."
"Yeah, I agree with you on that one."
"Well at least we get the duel arenas."
I snigger.
"You have something to contribute girl?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Then what is it?"
"Well I can say that the testing is going to be slightly different."
"Oh, how do you know that?"
I raise my Duel Disk to be across my flattish chest.
"Cause I have been the lucky person testing this piece of kit."
"What is that."
"Kaiba Corp. Duel Disk System Alpha Model, entire dueling functions on your arm."
"COOOOL."
"Yeah."
"So how did you get picked?"
"I sent a letter to Industrial Illusions, saying how I liked the game. Then I got chosen to take part in a joint Industrial Illusions and Kaiba Corp. private testing project."
"You lucky, I notice you have 2 Decks."
"Yeah, only using my main deck though."
"Cool."
We advance in the queue into the main entrance and I enter in as Tanya Weston. Then we are shown by the security, who do give a raised eyebrow look at me, to the main arena and put into the stands.
By the looks of it, they have set nine of the dueling arenas out, with the stands surrounding the nine, so I take up a seat and wait.
A few hours go and its time for my examination. I look up at the VIP box; there I see Mum, Maxine and Principal Sheppard in the box, they all look at me and then I get up and head to the floor so I get to the duel arena.
As I head down, my Kaiba Corp. comm link lights up, I put it in my ear.
"Its Mummy."
"Yes mummy, I am just on my way to the arena."
"Yes, I know, I want to wish you luck. As does Maxine. So I'll see you soon k?"
"Thank you, Mummy."
I put the com-link back in my jeans, and head to the center duel arena. I walk in to the arena, and I feel the glare on me, from all of the people surrounding the arena. I see Mum in the VIP box with Maxine. Where is Principal Sheppard?
Then I turn to see across from my position on the dueling field. It's Principal Sheppard with a Duel Disk on her arm.
"Well, Miss Weston. It seems you are lucky enough to have the Principal of the Duel Academy administer your entrance exam."
"Yes, I'm highly honored."
"Well, shall we?"
We both activate our duel disks. I put in my DM deck into the deck slot, Mrs. Sheppard inserts her deck in her deck slot on her Duel Disk.
"Well, what are the rules for this examination?"
"Well, 8000 LP, no time limit."
The crowd grasps.
"I take it you're using your personal deck then Principal?"
"Yes, I am."
"Then shall we?"
"Yes."
Both Disks light up, and the overhead screens for the old Duel Arenas light up with our names and LP. So there is one final thing to say.
"Duel/Duel."

What is this I feel, I feel a tremendous power coming from the card now setting at the top of my deck.
"I draw."

It's the Winged Dragon of Ra. I feel it's time to win this duel.
"Well Principal Sheppard, I feel the duel is going to be won this turn."
"Oh, let's see this happen."
"Well then, I sacrifice Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl and Gemini Elf in order to summon the following monster."

"Yes, almighty protector of the sun and sky, I beg of thee please heed my cry, transform thyself from orb of light, and bring me victory in this fight, I beseech thee grace our humble game, but first I shall call out thy name."
What is she calling out with that chant?
"Winged Dragon of Ra!"
The arena starts to shake, and clouds start to form above the dueling field. Then a golden orb starts to descend onto the Dueling Arena.
"What is that?"
"It's one of the most powerful Duel Monsters to exist."
"Wait, where did you get that from?"
It begins to transform.
"I got it from the head of Industrial Illusions, Maxine Pegasus."
"Wait ,why did she give you a card?"
"She did not give it to me, it chose me."
"Wait, you're saying the card chose you?"
"Yes."
Winged Dragon of Ra finishes transforming.

"No you could not, Winged Dragon of Ra can not be affected by spell, trap or monster effects."
"Well I believe you win the duel."
Winged Dragon of Ra turns to look at Tanya.
"I know this was not a life or death battle, but I have to had used you before now so I know how to deal with it."
It nods then disappears. Then the Duel Disks shut down.
"Well Miss Weston."
"Well, that’s not true."
"Oh?"
"Well my full name is Tanya Weston Kaiba."
A roar goes out from the crowd.
"Yes I am the adoptive daughter of Miss Kaiba, head of Kaiba Corp."
"Well then, Miss Kaiba. I am proud to announce that you have passed your examination and are to be placed in Obelisk Blue."
The crowd starts to clap.
"Well I accept."

I take in the applause which is still going on around the arena. Then I see my Mum and Maxine appear on the Duel Arena floor with the other exam passers in front of them.
We are gestured to line up. With Principal Sheppard, Maxine and Mum in front of the gathered students. Then the Principal speaks.
"Well Duel Academy entrants, you stand here as the first intake of students into Duel Academy. I need to explain the dorms."
"The dorms are named after the 3 most powerful cards in duel monsters, 1 of which you have seen today. The dorms are Slifer Red, Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue. These dorms are different in how they are laid out."
"The Slifer Red is like dorm rooms of old, has 3 students per dorm room. With a toilet in the room and separate shower block for male and female. Ra Yellow is a singular dorm room with a toilet and also has separate shower block for male and female. Obelisk Blue is a hotel room with toilet and shower/bath."
"You have been placed according to academic and dueling prowess into each of the 3 dorms. There will be opportunity to go from Slifer Red to Ra Yellow, Ra Yellow to Obelisk Blue, but this depends on academic and dueling success. There are exceptions: for instance, some students will be automatically Ra Yellow or Obelisk Blue if they have a medical reason to be not sharing with other students."
"I will confirm now that, Tanya Weston Kaiba is an Obelisk Blue. This is due to her dueling Prowess and the fact she has the personal recommendation of Miss Pegasus. Also the fact she has had the best private tutors, so her academic record is not in doubt."
"I will say this, if you have an objection with this, please make it in writing to me when we get to Duel Academy."
"Dueling at the Academy, will be monitored via the Duel Disks which you all will be issued with." Gestures to the one on her arm. "Although Tanya Kaiba will be keeping her Duel Disk as it's one of the main prototypes and has been given to her by her mother. Duels will be allowed at any time at Duel Academy, but academic work must come first and no duels can be done during class time, unless it's Duel Class."
"Dueling will also be available as a tool to solve disputes at the dueling academy. Another note is that we have an on-site medical facility courtesy of Kaiba Corps. medical division, and also having one of the Kaiba corp. medics joining us."
"Now on to a main point, relationships, as you are 11 to 12 year olds, are to be kept to what 11 to 12 should have as relationships. But I will say this, nothing beyond kissing and holding hands is allowed."
"Now, when you are dismissed, you are to go to changing rooms here so you can get your clothing measurements done. Tanya Kaiba your measurements are already done, I think you know how this was done, but you can be there to support the female students."
"But, Miss Kaiba of Kaiba Corp. and Miss Pegasus would like to say a few words."
Principal Sheppard stands back and both Mum and Maxine step forward, and Maxine speaks first.
"Well Duel Academy students, this is a unique opportunity. You get to shape as the first students how the Duel Academy should work. Also you give the Duel Disk system its real world test."
"As you want to know, the duel academy duel disk is the same for all students with duel disks in dorm colours as edging around the hub of the duel disk. Tanya here will keep her prototype Duel Disk as a favor from me and Miss Kaiba for helping us test the duel disk system when we where still developing it."
"I now yield, to Miss Kaiba here."
Maxine steps back and Mum steps forward.
"Well I hope you liked the duel disks which you used today. I have had a time developing these. But I am pleased with the results. I am announcing today officially that I have appointed someone to be Vice-President of Dueling Technology. This means that they are responsible for the testing of any new dueling products."
"This Duel Academy is an all time school — that all of your time will be spent there during term time. You will be allowed to go back home during holidays, you are allowed to leave the school during term time if there is a sufficient personal reason."
"Now, I expect you all to treat my daughter with respect, not to hound her. You may even be friends with her once you have been to duel academy for a while."
"So let's get you to the changing rooms to get measured."
We then head off to the changing rooms to get fitted for our school clothes. I see that some of the girls have already developed breast tissue, not much mind you but makes me think when I get mine to start growing.
Oh well, can't wait. Ah, I see Doctor Fanton is here and is waiting to administer medical tests, but no girl is going forward, so I go up.
"Doctor Fanton."
"Ah Tanya, how are you feeling today?"
"As well I can expect to be, with the dueling and all."
"So, you come up for medical exam to put the other girls at rest?"
"Yeah."
"Well come up then."
I go up to doctor Franton with her Medical booth. I’m already in my underwear so I step in to the booth, and I am scanned.
It is over in 30 seconds, and I step out.
"So Doc, any problems? Compared to my scan last week?"
"Yes, a bit of iron problem but that is to be expected with what you did today."
"Ah, give me the tablet doc."
She hands me the tablet which she had with her. I pick up the drink on the table and take the tablet and then take it there and then.
I go back to the bench with my clothes on it, and a girl comes up to me.
"Excuse me?"
"Yes?"
"I just wondering what that tablet you took was?"
"An iron tablet, for a medical problem I get some times."
"Oh, I did not introduce myself, I am Saless, Obelisk Blue."
"I am Tanya Weston Kaiba, Obelisk Blue."

"So this medical problem, you have it often?"
"Only after some physical activity."
"Ah, well I see you're a spell caster duelist."
"Yeah, so what kind of duelist are you?"
"Beat-down."
"Ah, monsters with 1600 attack or more, and no tributes to summon them."
"Yes, how'd you know?"
"Dueling expert here."
She laughs.
"Sorry, kinda forgot."
"No problem. So, what do you think of the uniforms?"
"They're okay."
"Yeah, at least mine has already been done."
"Oh?"
"I was going to Duelist Academy anyway."
"Ah. Cause of your mother?"
"Yeah, kinda need to seeing I am being prepared for a job at Kaiba Corp. when I am old enough."
"Ah, how long have you been dueling?"
Now this is a question I have been dreading, how do I answer it?
"Well, not that long really."
"Ah, you must be really good."
"Yeah, still got lots to improve though."
"Yeah, true. Well I have to go and get measured and medical tests done."
"See you, hope we can meet sometime again."
"Yeah, I hope so too."
I see Saless walk off to the measuring area. I decide to leave them to it, due to the fact I have had already completed the necessary steps for entry to duel academy when I woke up in this new body.
I head outside the changing room and put in my Kaiba Corp. comm.
"EVA?"
"Yes Tanya?"
"Current location of my Mum."
"Current location is VIP lounge here at the Kaiba Dome."
"Thanks, EVA."
"You're welcome Tanya."
I head up to the VIP lounge. As I reach the door, I feel a pain, not unlike being burned. It seems to be all-over, I collapse to my knees. I look down and see a field of energy on my hands, which then I look to see to be covering the majority of my front. Then I feel slight breeze which makes me look up and I am not in the hallway outside the VIP lounge any more.
I get up, seeing as the pain has passed. I see surrounding me a vast white expanse, well I am not in Kansas any more.
"Is there anyone there?"
I see in front of me a glimmering shape — a purplish tinge I suppose. It begins to collate into a more solid form. I blink my eyes a couple of times, 'cause what I'm seeing can't be real.
But as the case has been with me lately, it seems to be true more than not.
It's Pharaoh Atem from Yu-Gi-Oh card game and manga.
"Tell me, I am not dreaming?"
"No, you're not."
"So, why am I here?"
"Well, do you know what happened to you when your mother rescued you from that pocket of the shadow realm?"
"Yeah, I have been told."
"Well when she wished to help in anyway she could to save you, I helped."
"In what way."
"I sensed that you have a great power residing in you, one which has not been seen since I was alive."
"Wait, you really exist?"
"Yes."
"But, wait, the manga/anime?"
"Ah, I can explain that. It was a part of a plan on my part to ensure that someone could defend the world vs. the oncoming evils of the shadow realm."
"Oh, so wait, you gave these ideas to the creator of Duel Monsters card game back in my original time, so you could make sure someone could defend the planet? Plus, I think you influenced my Mum and Maxine Pegasus to bring the defenses up to actual holograms and duel disk systems."
"Yes, how astute of you."
"So back on to how you helped."
"Well, I decided that to save you, I had to use all of my power which would not make me dissipate and transform you."
"Am I still human?"
"Yes, well you do now have duel spirit residing in you and you have the ability to control the shadow realm and its magic."
"Oh, what is the shadow realm duel spirit residing in me then?"
Then I see a pinkish aura near Atem appear. It begins to take shape, I begin to recognize it. It's Dark Magician Girl but it's not the card but it's Mana in her duel spirit form.
"Hello, Tanya."
"Hello, Mana."
"Ah, Pharaoh — she is a follower."
"Yes, she is Mana."
"So, I have Mana as my Duel Spirit?"
"Yes, you do, I have grown in power and I am comparable to the Pharaoh."
"Well, more really seeing as you never went into the shadow realm completely."
"Ah, I understand that, but why do the 3 Egyptian Gods allow me to use them?"
"Well, that's due to the fact you are technically my successor as the wielder of the 3 Egyptian Gods. Also the fact my Dark Magician Spirits also become yours as well."
"I am highly honoured, Pharaoh." "I am also glad to serve Pharaoh."
"Well I think it's time for you to wake up, Tanya — I believe that someone is trying to wake you up."
"Ah, talk to you soon Mana. I shall hope we meet again Pharaoh but not if it's life threatening I hope."
"Yes, we shall meet again."
"Tanya I talk to you when you're alone. But if you need my power all you need is to ask mentally."
"I shall."
I begin to wake up, and Saless is standing over me. I seem to be propped up against the wall outside the VIP lounge.
"Welcome back stranger."
"Saless, what are you doing here?"
"I received a call from the Kaiba Corp. security office, it was a female voice and it told me to come here to see if you're okay."
I be dammed, EVA is quite good.
"I know who helped."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, they're kinda looking out for me."
"Cool, you'll be fine now."
"Yeah, had something on my mind."
"Cool, well I need to properly introduce myself, Mira Saless."
"Ah, I am Tanya Weston Kaiba."
"Nice to meet you, so see you later?"
"Yeah."
So Saless leaves, and I get up. I felt as if I was charged. I go and knock on the VIP door.
"Come in."
I enter the room and see Mum, Maxine and Principal Sheppard chatting.
"Well Tanya, you ready to go home?"
"Yeah, I think you know why Mum and Maxine."
"What is the problem with Tanya?"
"Well Principal Sheppard, there are things which we would rather not say at the moment. But don’t worry she only gets like this when she has done certain things."
"Ah, okay."
"Well, we shall meet tomorrow, Miss Sheppard."
"I shall see you once more, Miss Sheppard."
"See you tomorrow, Principal."
Mum and Maxine get up and head up to the door and I exit and they come out after me. We head off to the limo and head back to Kaiba Corp.
"Mum, I think I have found out why I am who I am now."
"Oh?/Oh?"
I tell them what Atem and Mana talked to me about.
"Ah, that would make sense."
"So If you get a report from EVA, that is her just making sure I am okay, plus I think I have made a friend today."
"That's good."
"Yeah, her name is Mira Saless — a Beatdown Duelist."
"Oh, that is good."
"Yeah."
"I think I'm going to make some more friends."

August 30th 2995
Well it's been rather uneventful since I got home last night. I was absolutely shattered when I got home. I had just summoned an Egyptian god card and found out I have a duel spirit as well in the same day, so this has changed my outlook on life if it has not already changed more times than not.
So it's time to get dressed to go to duel academy, but as my mum told me yesterday I am going in a different way to get there. It seems my mum has gone and done another thing Seto Kaiba did in the anime, she has built the one of a kind Blue-Eyes White Dragon jet.
Although this one has a few extras over the one Seto built. It has for some completely weird reason a full functioning duel arena emitters built in it. Did mum foresee the eventual need for this to be built? I would not want to guess.
So I have to wear a flight suit, this one is custom fitting — it has nano fibers which when activated size the suit to my body, so making it comfortable but also providing maximum protection. So with my underwear on, I slip the suit on and the fibers activate in the suit, hugging my teen body.
It is at this point that I realize that I have achieved what I was always wanting back in my old life, to feel complete, but I would never look as good as a genetic girl with my old body. But with what Atem and my mum have done I have the chance to live the life I always wanted.
I know I should never forget where I come from, but I want to have a clean slate.
It is as I start to get the rest of my stuff, I see myself in the mirror in my room. I'm actually filling out up top, or is that my suit showing it? Hmm, it be a while yet before I have to get fitted for a bra, but I will love when that day comes.
So I pick up my duel disk and put it in a travel-bag which mum has designed. The lovely thing about this suit is that it has some external pockets and attachment points, so I load up my decks on the ones on my legs, and put my god card necklace in the left breast pocket.
I get my travel case with Academy uniform and other things for there and head out of my room and see mum in her flight suit and her helmet — yes she has a Blue-Eyes White Dragon helmet.
"Well daughter, you ready to go to duel academy?"
"Yeah, ready as I'll ever be."
Mum looks me over.
"Oh, I just noticed, your chest is beginning to fill out."
"Yeah, I think it might be the suit though."
"Good thought."
"So shall we head up to the roof?"
"Yes."
We head to the elevator, and get in. Of course taking my bags with me.
"Miss Kaiba, the jet is fueled and pre-flight checks have been carried out."
"Thank you, EVA."
"Mum, will I have the link to the Kaiba Corp. network at duel academy?"
"Yes, I'll even have EVA come with you."
"You sure mum?"
"Yeah, I have her here."
She lifts up a phone like device.
"Oh."
"Yeah, she's on an optical crystal drive. And this communication device is secure and fast enough for EVA to do her work. Also I would like to have a part of me there with you just to make myself feel safe."
"Thanks mum. And EVA I hope I do not fail to use you correctly."
"Thank you daughter."
"Thank you Tanya, in a way you are my sister I suppose."
"That’s true."
We arrive at the top of Kaiba Corp. HQ and I see across from the elevator the Blue-Eyes White Dragon jet. It looks like if it were actually a real-life Blue-Eyes White Dragon if not for the avionics needed for flight.
We head up to the jet, and Mum opens the cockpit up and then heads to the belly of the jet to open up the cargo hold for the jet. Mum puts in my Duel Disk and carry case and then reseals the cargo hold.
Then we get into the cockpit but as I have to enter first, mum gives me her deck to put on my flight suit.
"Mum, why are you giving me your deck?"
"I need to not have anything which could snag on the flight controls for the jet, and there’s more room in the front."
"Ah, okay."
So I attach the deck on my right leg, and get into the seat at the front. Mum then gets into her seat and then lowers the cockpit roof.
"Daughter, you know how to put on a five point harness?"
"Yeah, I have seen it done many times."
So I put the flight harness on, to tie me into the ejector seat. Then I look in front of me, and see that it looks like more controls would go here but looks like complete blank canvas, then I remember what mum told me about this jet.
It has Duel Arena technology, plus the fact there is a great viewing angle here in the front seat, must mean that the spaces here are just the storing lids for the duel system which is built into the jet.
I hear mum belt herself in, and put her helmet on
"Well all systems are ready, Tanya there is a helmet there for you."
I see that there is helmet lying on the console, I put it on.
"Its on mum."
"Let's go."
The jet begins to fire up, and we begin lifting off, like the old VTOL planes of old. It takes about 30 seconds to get up to a nice height and we then switch to horizontal flight mode and blast off to Duel Academy.
It's about 40 minutes into the flight I start to think about where Duel Academy is set up. It is set on an island off the main land of Japan. But as I'm dwelling on this, I feel a sense of unease and my newly empowered shadow senses are ticked off immediately.
"Mum, I can sense some shadow magic near us in the air."
"Wait, did I just hear you right?"
"Yeah, you did."
"Oh, is it getting closer?"
I look up through the transparent cockpit which on the outside looks like Blue-Eyes White Dragon scales on its head and I see an insect duel monster in mid air coming towards us. It's Insect Queen.
"Mum, have you got that Duel Arena tech working on here yet?"
"Yes."
"Need to fire it up now. Also I think it's going to be easier if this is going to be a Shadow Game that I use monsters which already have flight in mind."
"Daughter you may use my deck for this duel."
"Wait, you sure mum, would the Blue-Eyes spirits not agree with this?"
It is then I hear Mana.
"Tanya, I have spoken to them, and they agree that they will do anything for their master and they trust you to wield them well. Might I suggest you insert one of the three god cards into the deck for this shadow duel?"
"Hmm, I think I shall."
I hit the button on the console and it transforms in front of me into what can only be described as the dueling layout on a 5D's Duel Runner. I get mums deck from my right leg and proceed to get my god necklace and take out a god card for this duel. I choose Slifer the Sky Dragon and put it into the deck.
I take the deck and put into the duel deck hold and it auto shuffles. Then we hear the Insect Queen speak to us as it pulls up along side us. Mum hits the transparency button for the cockpit, but only for the area I am in.
"Well I see I have found the one I am looking for."
I reply back.
"Well you have, the only way you are getting anything from me is if you win in a shadow duel."
"I agree to these terms."
"Well, let's duel."
