Well, I have thought of this for a long while, and now it's here!

...Just enjoy the S&T.

And as a little note, as of this post, many of the cards here are not actual cards.

Prologue
"Welcome to the Graduation Exam Final!" the announcer boomed.
As the moon shone over the stadium, the audience was cheering from the stands.
"Let's give a warm welcome to Zack Dester!" the announcer said.
A spotlight went on, revealing a black-haired boy with a coat, shirt, pants, and shoes that were all black. The crowd happily applauded.
"Zack passed the Apprentice Academy with flying colors, and has defeated every opponent he has faced during this exam." the announcer explained. "Graduation is at his grasp, but he's gonna have to defeat him to get it. You know who: the Academy Headmaster, the Card Master Extraordinare, let's give a hand to...Dan Flame!"
Two flames lit up. As another spotlight revealed a black-haired with a red shirt and blue jeans, the flames floated towards him. When the flames reached his hands, they died out, showing two levitating cards. The crowd roared after this.
The platforms that the two battlers were standing upon approached each other. The two men shook each others' hands.
"Remember Zack, this is your final test," Dan told the boy. "Show me everything you learned!"
Zack nodded as the platforms slid away from each other and then ascended a few feet above the ground.
"Battlers, get ready!" the announcer shouted.
With a wave of his hand, cards came out of Dan's pockets and orbited around him slowly, alternating up and down. Zack attached a katana-like blade to a metallic wrist band as cards began to circle him in a steady pace.
The announcer cried out with finality, "Alright, BATTLE BEGIN!!!"

Dan grabbed a brown levitating card and threw it down to the ground. After a bright flash, a Saichania appeared and bellowed to the sky.
Zack placed a dark-blue card onto his katana blade and from the skies, a Microraptor gently glided onto the stadium ground.
"Quad Wing allows Microraptor to attack four times and use move cards twice in a single turn!" Zack exclaimed. "I activate Metal Wing and Saving Wing!"
Laying two cards on his blade, a trio of Tapejara flew into the stadium. Their wings were glowing, and they slammed their wings into the Saichania
"Saichania, Desert Club!" Dan exclaimed.
"Microraptor, Glide Dive GO!" Zack exclaimed.
The Microraptor was the first to attack. It flew up and then dove down towards the Saichania. It slashed at its armor a couple of times, then returned to its side of the field. The Saichania simply shook around, as if nothing hurt it, and charged towards the small theropod. Before it could crush it with its tail though, a Bradycneme appeared from the shadows and took the Microraptor away from harm.
"Remember Dan?" Zack shouted from his side of the stadium. "Saving Wing retreats a creature when it is attacked, and another creature takes the damage instead!"
A large object began forming where the Microraptor had once been.
"And, if the attack was one that was about to knock it out," Zack continued, "then the newly-summoned creature gets to attack the same turn as Saving Wing was used!"
The mysterious form became a sauropod, and it slammed down in front of the ankylosaur.
"Ampelosaurus, Rumble Charge GO!" Zack shouted. "Take 360 points of damage!"
The sauropod dragged its front feet, gravel flying. Then, it charged at the Saichania, sending the ankylosaur flying. It turned into a card, returning to Dan.
"Nice move my apprentice!" Dan said. "But you'll need more of that to pass your exam!"

The fight raged on. Finally, Zack had his last creature on the field: a Speedspitter. Dan had a floating plant with the head of a Venus fly trap, known as an Aquavenus. The plant spun around and sliced through the Speedspitter, ending the card's life.
"Well that's a wrap folks!" the announcer concluded. "Looks like Zack has not passed his graduation exam."

Meanwhile, Carl was sitting by himself in an empty ballroom. The room was relatively fancy, with classical music playing and a chandelier propped below the ceiling. All of a sudden, the sound of glass breaking was heard, and a blast brought the chandelier down. Carl rolled away before the chandelier broke, creating a fire. A blue-haired man in a black top hat and trench coat appeared from the large, broken window. He wore a white mask that covered his eyes. Along with him, there were three figures in grey cloaks and a large number of grey robots.
"Ah, where is Jess?" the mysterious man asked. "A shame that she isn't here. She would have helped me greatly. But that is of no matter."
"Who are you?" Carl asked harshly. "And what do you want?
"Ah, forgive my manners!" the blue-haired man replied. "I am Dhius Zavanti, and I am here for that meteor fragment."
Carl froze.
"No, you will never get your hands on that!" Carl shouted. "It does not deserve to be in the hands of men!"
"Oh, well then. How about we settle this through a battle?" Dhius asked. "One card each?"
"Like Card Slinger only with abilities," Carl said softly. "Hmph, I accept. It's not like you can defeat me."
Dhius smiled. The two men went to their pockets, preparing to take out something.
"DRAW!" Dhius shouted.
The two men thrust out two orange cards. After a red flash, Carl's creature was first shown, revealing a Minotaur.
Dhius's card collided with the ground. After a red flash, a large wave of smoke blew throughout the room, blowing out the fire. Then, after the smoke cleared up, a Tyrannosaurus could be seen. However, this Tyrannosaurus was strangely different; it was a dark blue in color, with white, slitless eyes.
"Minotaur, Maze and Gore!" Carl shouted.
The mythical beast summoned a labryinth that was about to fall onto the dark T-rex. However, just as it was about to slam on it, the maze dissolved. Carl looked shocked.
"The dark nature of my Tyrannosaurus allows it to be unaffected by the abilities of normal creatures," Dhius explained, sounding satisfied.
When the Minotaur's horns pierced into the dinosaur, the T-rex did not look like it felt pain. When the half-man, half-bull creature stumbled away, the T-rex did not look hurt at all.
"It also cuts attack damage in half," Dhius continued, smiling. "Now, allow me to show you my power. Dark Tyrannosaurus, Doom Inferno!"
The dinosaur opened its mouth, and flames could be seen foaming from it. After a few seconds, the T-rex fired a massive fireball at the Minotaur, easily knocking out the mythical beast. Its card returned to Carl.
"I-Impossible," Carl softly whispered. Then, louder, he said, "OK, you win. Here, take it. I always keep it with me."
He took a glowing red rock from his pocket and tossed it to Dhius.
"Thank you kindly for your services," Dhius said. "We shall be going."
And in a moment, the man and his group were gone, leaving Carl in his ruined ballroom.

Chapter 1
"I gotta hurry to the Apprentice Academy!" a boy shouted as he ran through the grassy park.
The boy had brown hair and a white cap with the letters "CB" on the front. He wore a black shirt under a red light jacket as well as blue jeans.
As he ran, he happened to bump into a tall, bald-headed guy wearing very formal attire, making him drop all sorts of books and papers.
"Will you watch where you are going young sir?" the tall man scowled sourly.
"Sorry!" the boy replied as he continued running.
The boy finally reached his destination: a large white building topped with a dome that the people of Cratalis only know as the Apprentice Academy. He ran towards the entrance, where a metal bar stopped him.
"Please show battler card," a robotic voice droned.
The boy took out a black card with white stripes along one side of the card and shown it to a scanner.
"Scanning..." the voice said. "Ah, Venni Shiro, age 14, correct?"
"Correct!" the boy hummed with a grin. "I'm here to join."
"Yes, you did sign an application, " the voice replied. "Please wait for your Beginner Exam. In the meantime, you will be allowed to enter the Grand Hall."
The metal bar raised, and Venni cheerfully went inside.

Venni looked around. The Grand Hall wasn't called "grand" for nothing. The architecture was very classy, almost like Victorian-style.
"Oh, if it isn't a new guy!" a young voice called.
Venni looked in the direction of the voice. A young boy standing in perfect posture and formal uniform approached him.
The boy in uniform began, "My name is Chuck Dodds. Nice to meet you."
Venni began, "Well, I'm Venni-"
Before he could complete his sentence, he couldn't help but notice the man he bumped into walking with a bundled-up mess of documents muttering to himself.
"Wonder what made him so mad," Chuck said.
"He was a guy who I bumped into by accident," Venni simply retorted.
Chuck's face turned pale. "D-do you know...what you just did?" He shuddered ghastly. However, all Venni did was look at him strangely.
"I better explain," Chuck said, regaining composure. "You see, that man is my father, Mr. Louvear Dodds, part of the headmaster staff here. He has a very quick temper."
The loudspeaker rang, "Venni Shiro, please report to the Academy Dome for your Beginner Exam."
"Well, that's sure one stroke of luck!" Chuck sourly continued. "You better be careful Venni. My father always brings his anger into battle, and it could be devastating if he's the one you face."
"Thanks, I guess," Venni simply replied. He didn't see why he needed to fear Mr. Dodds.

A walk later, Venni arrived at the Academy Dome. He had a slight shock in his face when he saw Louvear Dodds on the other side of the dome.
"Well, well, if it isn't the little runt I ran into," Mr. Dodds grunted.
"Am I going to take my exam or hear some rambling?" Venni asked.
The older man grinned. "Very funny," he answered. "Yes, you will be taking the exam. I hope you know about Card Battling, because you'll need plenty of knowledge if you want to defeat me!"

First of all, epic win, ZD.

Second, Saving Wind has been added to my to-do-list, if you allow it.

Ah yes, sure! :D

With your permission, I'd like to make this S&T take place after Armageddon. It won't be an exact follow-up, but I'd like to include some the characters in that S&T (mainly a minor character that lost to Lieu that I want to make a major character here... :rolleyes:)

Well, I updated. I already typed the prologue and first chapter before the posting of this S&T, so yeah. The only problem is that I'm drawing a blank on what to do next. So, enjoy the update!

Two notes:
1. The main character's name was originally Venis Udo. I don't remember why it was, but I believe it had to do with an anagram of a Latin word.
2. Chuck Dodds and Louvear Dodds are based on two "members" of this site. The latter's name should give a hint...

Nice chapter.
I can't help but say I see some resemblence to Yu-Gi-Oh GX.

Anyways, clearly it is Choco and Dodo, but I should point out that, on here, Choco is the older brother. But, feel free to do as you wish for your S&T as to that.

Ah, well...I forgot that. Well, there isn't really a non-fanciful first name that sounds like Love, so I guess in some part of the thought process, I decided to make Choco (who has a pretty normal name in the form of Chuck) the son of Dodo.

And funnily, I wasn't thinking of GX when thinking of the Apprentice Academy. When this story was in the very first ideas, I wanted to incorporate the apprentice thing that you thought of. That's how I thought of the Academy, and is also why AR will be an important character (well, not too sure about that, but he does have a significant battle)

I was thinking about brains as well. Not sure how we'll fit her in, but I considered maybe having her included latter intio armagedon.

Maybe Dodos' wife, or sister, but hopefully not both.
