This is my fanfic. Since Twilight Gaming has started over it has allowed me to re-read my chapters and correct small errors that were present that I didnt notice. So anyway, hope you enjoy it! Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Destiny It was a dark, crisp night. A full moon almost as bright as the sun itself was radiating its light down onto a dense forest. Within that forest, footsteps of someone running can be heard as each step planted on the ground crushed leaves or snapped twigs. A young man was revealed; he was slim at average height with light brown hair with blond tips on his fringe. He was breathing heavily and constantly looking back as if he was being chased by something. He had cuts and grazes on his face and body from the stems and branches that hit him as he continued running. Suddenly he stops running and notices in front of him lots of speckles of bright lights which, could only be described as stardust. “No,” said the young man quietly, realising what this meant. He then slowly looked up into the sky and saw two large yellow eyes staring at him. The shocked and scared man began moving backwards before he started running again in the direction he first came. He was breathing heavier in a more panicked state as he desperately tried to escape. He finally made it out of the forest and into a large field but as he looked back up to the sky, he saw the same piercing eyes. This time though, he could make out the body of the creature. He noticed widespread wings and a tail but wasn’t quite sure of the rest as the body was camouflaged within the sky. The creature quietly growled and then flew towards him. The man tried running again but this time he tripped and fell. As he turned round he screamed as the creature soared towards him, with its mouth wide open seemingly about to eat him. A young man rose from his bed breathing heavily and covered in sweat. It was the same man who was running in the forest. He put his hand on his face as an attempt to get himself together and looked to his right at his clock. The time was 3:32am; he got out of bed and opened his window to climb onto the rooftop of the house. As he sat on the rooftop he was looking at the sky thinking about his dream. MAN: (“What is going on? I’ve been having this dream repeatedly for the past month. It must have some meaning but what? Well, I’m gonna have to let it go for now as today is an important day so I better get a few more hours in”). Chapter 1-Welcome to Domino University MAN: “RYUSEI!! RYUSEI!! WAKE UP!!” It was morning with the sun shining brightly, wishing a good day to all. The young man from yesterday was still sleeping to the annoyance of his Uncle Hiro. He was standing at the bottom of the stairs in a red jumper and grey trousers with a shaven beard. He looked to be in his early 40s but his short brown hair was dyed so he looked younger. “I’ve already called him twice and now he’s making me come up there!” he muttered as he stormed up the stairs. Hiro burst into Ryusei’s room and noticed he was still sleeping. “Wake up Ryusei!” Ryusei slightly turned his head and replied back, “Go away; I’ll be up in a few minutes.” Hiro’s started to become angry so he grabbed the duvet covering Ryusei and threw it on the floor. “What the hell did you do that for?!” Ryusei exclaimed. Hiro stood confused from Ryusei’s comment and pointed at his clock which displayed the time as 10:02am. “CRAP!” Ryusei shouted as he jumped out of bed and bolted out of the door, towards the bathroom. Hiro chuckled to himself and walked back downstairs to have breakfast. In a few minutes, Ryusei finished his shower and dried himself quickly. He got dressed into his jeans and blue T-Shirt, stormed out the door and literally jumped down to the bottom of the stairs. “Your bag is already in the car”, Ryusei turned to see Hiro in the kitchen finishing his breakfast, before he could say anything Hiro said, “Since you’re late I’ll drop you off and after you’re done for the day, I’ll pick you up so you can get your bike okay?” “Thanks.” After Hiro finished his breakfast and washed up, they went out of the house, got into the car and drove off heading towards Domino University. About half and hour later Ryusei arrived at the entrance of Domino University. Ryusei looked back and said to Hiro. “I’ll be finished by about four so come by then.” Hiro nodded and he drove off as Ryusei climbed up a few steps to head inside. The front room was large and spacious as well as busy with lots of students walking in different directions. There were doors to his left, right and at the back leading to different corridors and areas. He went to the helpdesk located in the middle of the room and spoke to a woman who was the receptionist on duty. “Hi. I’m here to register myself at the University.” Ryusei said politely. “You know we told everybody to be here at 9:30 sharp so you don’t miss any lectures” the receptionist replied. “But anyway, fill in this form and then you’ll be done.” Ryusei filled in the form and gave it to her, she entered the details in her computer and in return she gave him a small box of items. “Okay.” She said “In here is your Student ID, your login details for our network system and your PDA which is already preloaded with all lectures and tutorials. Also here is your room key. You will be staying at room 42 at Domino East Dorm.” “Domino East?” Ryusei asked nervously. “Go outside and turn right. Keep walking straight for about 15 minutes and you will see it.” The receptionist replied “Thank you.” Ryusei arrived at the dormitory which was large by its own right. He went inside and saw how big the place was. The ground floor seemed to be a common room with a pool table, magazines, snack machines and plenty of chairs and tables. At the back was a kitchen for people who wanted to cook their own food, and a dining area next to it which could seat about 20 people. Ryusei moved on and climbed up two flights of stairs, reaching the second floor. He walked down the corridor, taking note of the room numbers across the doors he was passing. He eventually saw the no. 42 and stopped. He put the key in and opened the door and noticed a spacious room inside. There were two beds, two desks and two chairs (one on either side of the room). Ryusei saw that the bed furthest from him was taken as someone else’s belongings were there. He put his bag and box down the other bed and turned on his PDA. He opened up the timetable and noticed that he has a lecture at 11am. He looked at the clock on the PDA and it displayed 11:11am. Ryusei: (“Crap! I’m late!”) He grabbed his bag and ran out the door, down the stairs and out of the dorm. He ran straight across a soccer field and in about five minutes he reached the entrance of the University Main Building. He went inside not paying attention to anything inside, he was just looking for the lecture room M016. He found the room and gently knocked the door and entered slowly. He noticed a mature woman wearing a grey suit with glasses and tied black hair standing in front of a projector and a class of 20-30 students all seated. “Ah, so kind of you to join us.” The woman said. Ryusei was slightly confused thinking that does she know him and was about to speak but then the woman added, “I’m Ms. Nakijima, and you are late, show up more than 5 minutes late again for my lesson don’t bother coming in.” “I’m sorry.” Ryusei went to the back of the room as the only free chair was at the back with some of the students staring at him. The day went quickly after various lectures and the time finally reached 4pm. Ryusei went to the entrance of the University and saw Hiro arrive. He jumped into the car and they drove back towards home. “Tough day?” Hiro asked noticing that Ryusei was completely silent throughout the journey so far. “You can say that. But don’t worry about it.” Ryusei replied. “If you say so, but just remember no matter what happens, have faith…” “In yourself and in your ability,” Ryusei interrupted Hiro in a tiresome way like he’s heard the phrase a million times before. “You really got to come up with some new sayings.” “Classics are always the best.” Hiro said while smiling. “Anyway, you can stay for dinner tonight if you want, and then go back after.” Ryusei nodded in agreement as they continued their journey home. It was evening, around 8:00pm. The sun was nearly set creating an orange skyline. The town of Domino was busy with many people walking the streets, or in restaurants and bars enjoying themselves. Someone walked out of a card shop with a bag of booster packs. He was wearing his Student ID on the side of his trousers and it said ‘Shinji Endo-Domino East’. He was a short person wearing grey from top to bottom in the form of trousers and a jumper. His brown hair was straight, with the front of his hair just touching the top of his glasses. He was walking through the busy town heading back to the University and cut through the soccer field to make his journey quicker. However, this time he noticed some guys there, about five of them, drinking beer and messing around. Shinji tried to walk past unnoticed but he was spotted. A guy stood up, stood tall and had long blonde hair wearing a denim jacket, white t-shirt and jeans. “Well, well, what do we have here?” the guy said. Shinji froze and saw the rest of the group get up to join him. The blonde guy walked up to Shinji and stared him down; Shinji got a glimpse of his student ID which said “Yuri Nakamura-Domino South”. Shinji was surprised realising who he was as the rest of gang surrounded him. Yuri then grabbed Shinji’s bag looking at the many boosters within. “Give it back!” he shouted. “No can do little guy, this will be payment for passing through” Yuri replied. Meanwhile, Ryusei now with a black jacket on was riding his motorbike (metallic blue Yamaha) back to the University and as he looked to his right he saw the situation that was happening on the field. He parked his bike, took off his helmet and ran to the field. As Yuri was opening a few packs he noticed the cards were useless to him so he threw him onto the ground. Shinji got angry and charged at him but one of Yuri’s gang members punched him in the stomach, winding Shinji as he fell to the ground. “What do you want us to do with him?” one of the guys asked. “Whatever you want” Yuri said ignorantly as he was too busy opening packs. Shinji was grabbed by the shirt and lifted up. The guy who grabbed him clenched his fist ready to knock him out when a punch out of nowhere hit the guy in the mouth, knocking a tooth out. Shinji fell to the floor and noticed someone standing in front of him. The rest of the gang were in shock as their friend was knocked out cold. They looked and saw the man that was standing in front of Shinji, it was Ryusei. Yuri had then just noticed what had happened. “That’s quite a punch you got there,” Yuri complemented as he stepped in front of his crew. Ryusei put his fists up getting ready to fight as he felt that he will have to fight his way out. Yuri was smiling and then he noticed a pouch on Ryusei’s trousers which is where you carry duelling decks. “So you are a duellist eh?” Yuri asked, surprising Ryusei. “Well, I have an idea, how about a friendly game? You win then you both can walk free.” Yuri’s gang were protesting but he wasn’t listening. Ryusei put his hands down and answered, “I don’t have a Duel Disk with me.” “I’m sure someone can lend you one,” Yuri stated. One of his gang members got one from his bag and threw the Duel Disk which Ryusei caught and put on. “So you accept?” Yuri asked. “Yeah I do, but I think I’ll change the terms.” Ryusei replied. “Meaning?” “Meaning if you win I’ll walk away and ignore what has happened here. But if I win, we walk free with the cards and I get to keep the Duel Disk.” The gang were angry that this guy had the nerve to ask that of Yuri but he smirked and gladly accepted. They both put their decks into their Duel Disks, activated the holographic sensors and both shouted “Duel!” LP (Ryusei-4000/Yuri-4000) “My turn!” Ryusei declared. “I summon Magician’s Valkyria (1600/1800) in defense mode!” An orange haired girl appeared on the field, wearing a blue and pink magician’s uniform, wielding a large purple staff. Shinji: (“A Spellcaster Deck? I haven’t seen one of those in a long time!”) “I will end my turn after that”. “Fine,” Yuri said “My turn and I will summon V-Tiger Jet (1600/1800) in attack mode and then play the spell Frontline Base! Due to this spell I can Special Summon a Union monster from my hand like W-Wing Catapult! (1300/1500)” Yuri’s gang started cheering as they know what is coming next. Yuri smiled before he continued. “V-Tiger and W-Wing! Combine together to form VW-Tiger Catapult (2000/2100)!” The two monsters retracted parts of each other and combined together. The end result was a blue jet base with missile pods on each wing. As well as a folded tiger pit, revealing multiple missile launch pads on each arm. “Now I discard one card from my hand (Z-Metal Tank) to switch your Valkyria to attack mode! VW Catapult, attack his monster with Heat Seeking Barrage!” VW launched multiple missiles which exploded in front of Valkyria, shattering it to pieces. LP (3600/4000) “I play one card face-down and end my turn. Now its your move, unless you want to quit?” “Not a chance!” Ryusei stated as he drew a card. “I play Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer (1800/700) in defense mode! “ A young bald man came forth, wearing a purple robe. However, the left side of his face is seemingly scarred from a burn and he was holding prayer beads as he knelt down. “I then play a face-down and end my turn” a large card appeared behind Kycoo. “Your move!” “You’re too kind.” Yuri replied sarcastically “My turn! And I’ll activate Pot of Greed, so I draw two cards and then summon X-Head Cannon (1800/1500) to the field. Plus due to Frontline Base I can summon Y-Dragon Head (1500/1600) as well!” Shinji: (“if he’s gonna do what I think he is, this duel will be over!”) “I then activate my face down card! Roll Out! “No way!” Shinji said in shock but Ryusei stayed completely calm. “This Trap selects a Union Monster in the Graveyard and equips it to a monster to the field so Z-Metal Tank (1500/1300) is hooking up with my X-Head Cannon! But there is no real point of telling you the details of that, as I’m combining them!” X-Head, Y-Dragon and Z-Metal all rose in the air and combined together before descending to the ground “Now XYZ-Dragon Cannon (2800/2600) comes forth!” The machine was now X-Head Cannon on the top, which connected to the back of Y-Dragon head. That monster in turn, was hooked onto the base of Z-Metal Tank. All of which had weapons armed. “Are you done yet?” Ryusei asked. “Aren’t we impatient? Yuri replied “I don’t know why you want to rush to lose but anyway, we all got our preferences. I now combine my VW and XYZ monsters together!” As the machines split apart and combined again, Yuri’s gang was looking in awe and Shinji was looking scared thinking that this duel is over, in just a few short turns. “Now! Meet my greatest machine! VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon! (3000/2800)” At the end a large robot was revealed. It had a tiger’s head, with red wings. Two large cannons were present from its chest as well as claws on either arm. Despite the intimidating presence of the monster, Ryusei still looked calm which annoyed Yuri. “I’ll now use my Cannon’s effect to remove from play one card on your field like your face-down.” Ryusei’s Trap was flipped face-up and revealed it was Negate Attack. After the confirmation the Trap then disintegrated. Yuri smiled as he knows he’s more or less won this duel. “Finally as some icing on the cake I’ll equip my Cannon with Fairy Meteor Crush! So when I attack and my monster’s attack is higher than your monster’s defense, the difference is dealt to you as damage. VWXYZ, attack Kycoo now!” The machine lifted it’s two cannons from it’s side and shot large lasers engulfing Kycoo and blasting Ryusei, who put his arms up to protect himself. LP (1300/4000) Yuri’s gang was laughing and cheering while Shinji had a real look of concern on his face. “You are pathetic! All you have been doing is playing defense and nothing meaningful! Word of advice buddy, before you go and try to save people, make sure you have the skills to back it up!” Shinji was almost in a panicky state. Ryusei noticed this and then said to him, “What’s your name?” Shinji was confused as to how calm he was and cried out, “You are about to lose and have me beaten to a pulp and you want to know my name?!” Ryusei turned around and looked at him, Shinji looked back and noticed a resolve in his eyes and said calmly. “Shinji,” “Shinji, I wouldn’t have made those terms if I know I couldn’t keep them. When I make a promise I never break it. That is my belief, my principle. So when I say we will walk away free, we will walk away free.” This statement gave Shinji a bit of hope while Yuri and his group were laughing hysterically. “Noble speech man, but there is hope and there is delusional. Anyway, it’s your move daydreamer!” Yuri said laughing. Ryusei closed his eyes and prepared to draw his card. Ryusei: (“Listen to me, my Deck, listen to my heart and guide me to victory.”) He drew his card slowly and held it up to his face. As he opened his eyes he smiled which concerned Yuri. Ryusei placed the card in his hand and said, “I summon Apprentice Magician (400/800) in attack mode!” A short blonde haired woman arose onto the field. She wore a purple uniform, red headband and wielded a thin green staff. “Apprentice Magician? What is that gonna do?” Yuri asked. “You’ll see. I activate my Spell Card, Brain Control! I pay 800 Life Points to take control of a monster on your side of the field. So I choose your V-Z Cannon!” LP (500/4000) Yuri couldn’t believe what just happened as a brain with hands grabbed his monster and placed it on Ryusei’s side of the field. “I then activate the Spell, Magical Dimension!” “What’s that?” Yuri asked. “When I have a Spellcaster out, I can tribute a monster to Special Summon a Spellcaster from my hand. So your Cannon goes to the Graveyard.” Yuri expressed a pained face after seeing this event. “So I can summon Cybernetic Magician (2400/1000)!” A blonde haired man ascended to the field, wearing a white uniform, with small parts of blue and red woven. He a tall white hat and wielded a very short but seemingly powerful staff. Yuri and his gang were stunned at the play Ryusei made as Cybernetic Magician emitted a white light from its body. “Next I’ll activate its effect! By discarding a card from my hand I can make a monster’s attack become 2000 like my Apprentice Magician (2000/800)!” As Cybernetic Magician embalmed a white light from his hand on to Apprentice Magician increasing her attack, Yuri realised that in one turn he lost the duel that he was controlling from the very start. “Apprentice Magician and Cybernetic Magician! Attack him directly!” As two beams came at him, one dark and one light, Yuri put his arms to block the attacks and in the aftermath of the attacks he dropped to his knees. (500/0) Yuri’s gang were completely blown away from what happened. Ryusei deactivated his Duel Disk and picked up Shinji’s bag and the cards on the ground to put them back in the bag. “Let’s go.” Shinji got up and followed Ryusei out of the field and onto the road. When they were near out of sight, Yuri punched the ground in anger. Yuri: (“How could I lose to some nobody?! I will find him and crush him next time, and that’s a promise!”) Ryusei gave Shinji his black helmet and rode on his motorbike as a passenger. They eventually reached their Dorm and noticed it was quiet as most of the people were out. They climbed up the stairs which led Ryusei to enquire. “What’s your room number?” “42,” Shinji answered. “So you’re my room mate?” Ryusei said. Shinji was confused until Ryusei grabbed the key from his pocket to open room 42. As they went in, both of them sat on their beds straight away, tired from the evening’s events. Shinji then broke the silence. “Thank you for saving me. Not many people would have done what you did.” “No problem,” Ryusei said. “But I want to know something, how did you remain calm like that? Were you that sure that you were going to win?” Shinji asked. “I always believe in myself and my Deck to get me out of any situation. As someone told me before, have faith in yourself and your ability and then you can do anything.” Shinji was almost awestruck with those words and was starting to think who this guy really is. “I haven’t introduced myself properly,” He cleared his throat and said as he stretched his hand, “I’m Shinji Endo.” “Ryusei Fujiwara.” He replies as the two shook hands. End Of Chapter. Preview: Ryusei is pulling all nighters to catch up on his studies. Unbeknownst to him that Shinji is spreading the story of Ryusei’s triumph of one of Domino South’s elite duellists. A girl called Vanessa, a colleague of Shinji’s gets wind of this story and challenges Ryusei to a duel with her expensive Counter Fairies. Chapter 2-Work Or Play, Mages In The Sky!

Yeah, Im getting around to doing that, hopefully at least 1 a day after a re-check. Anyway the next chapter. Location: Domino South Dormitory This dorm was a similar size if not larger than Domino East. Inside was generally the same but with a few extravagant extras. Silk curtains, leather chairs and sofas, plasma TVs and many more. Up the stairs on the top floor was a young man walking along the corridor. He was at average height with short brown hair, wearing a beige shirt, jeans and trainers. He reached the last door of the corridor and as soon as he was about to knock, the door opened. A beautiful girl with black hair walked out of the room. A man followed to the doorway, wearing black trousers but no shirt. He had long blonde hair dropping just below his shoulder with a fringe which reached over his light blue eyes. “Call me.” The girl said while leaving. As she walked down the stairs the blonde man went back into his room and the other guy followed. The room was immaculate, with expensive items and gadgets around the room. Silk sheets were on the bed, the same material was on the curtains, and a TV showing the latest stock market news. “New girlfriend?” the guy asked. “What do you think?” the blonde man replied smiling. “What’s up anyway?” “Have you heard?” the other guy asked with a serious tone. As the blonde man put on a white T-shirt and black blazer he replied, “Who hasn’t heard?” he fixed his Student ID on the side of his trousers which said ‘Hayate Nakamura-Domino South’. “So what are you going to do about it?” the guy asked Hayate sighed as he picked up couple of text books from his desk. As he was about to walk out of the room he stopped and said, “Leave it to me.” Chapter 2-Work Or Play, Mages In The Sky! Shinji woke up and stretched himself in bed. He looked at his watch and noticed the time was 8.35am. It was a little bit earlier than when he usually wakes up but he had no complaints. As he raised himself from his bed he saw Ryusei on a desk working away with a pile of books on his right and papers to his left. “You worked all night again?” Shinji asked “You’ve done this for the last three days Ryusei, don’t you think you should take a break?” Ryusei just ignored him and carried on with his work. Shinji just sighed, took a towel and headed straight to the bathroom to have a shower. Shinji finished his shower and changed into his clothes. He then noticed Ryusei was still working away as he picked up another text book and started to read it. “Don’t you have lectures today?” Shinji asked. “I have a free day today.” Ryusei answered. “And you’re not going to enjoy it by I don’t know, relaxing, going out or doing something fun?” Shinji asked again. While writing some notes Ryusei answered, “I started late in the semester so I missed over a week’s worth of lectures and tutorials. If I have no distractions today I will have caught up with the timetable, so there won’t be any relaxing until then.” “Fair enough, I will be back after lunch as I have a couple of lectures, so see you later, and take a break sometime, you’re not a machine” Shinji said while closing the door. The time was 1pm. Shinji finished his double lecture on Java Programming and headed to the University’s cafeteria for lunch. As he bought a bowl of chow mein with some rice pudding he heard a girl’s voice from somewhere. “Shinji! Over here!” Shinji looked left and then right until he saw a girl waving. She had long, tied green hair and brown eyes, wearing a pink polo T-shirt and navy blue tracksuit bottoms. Shinji went to her direction and sat at her table with her and a few common friends. “Hi, Vanessa. Guys and girls.” Shinji said. “So where is he?” Vanessa asked straight away before Shinji could even start eating. The rest of the table looked confused from the question. Shinji realised who she was talking about and replied, “He’s still working.” “Again? It’s like the third day in a row now! Doesn’t he have a life? Or maybe it’s what I first thought when I heard the story, you made it up!” “No I didn’t!” Shinji announced. “What are you talking about?” one the girls on the table asked. “You know the story about some random guy beating Yuri Nakamura in a duel?” Vanessa stated. The whole table nodded in understanding of the statement. “Well, Shinji claims that the guy who beat him is not only a student here, but he is his roommate.” “No way!” one of the guys said “That would mean a guy from Domino East would have beaten one of South’s best duellists! He must be really good!” “Yeah but he hasn’t faced me yet.” Vanessa said smiling. “He won’t stand a chance against my Deck.” “You and your ‘expensive fairies’” the girl said. “Well they are. It’s the best deck ever!” “I don’t know.” Shinji interrupted. “Your deck is pretty cool but I’m starting to believe that Ryusei is another level.” This really annoyed Vanessa so she slammed her hands on the table and said in a raised voice, “Fine! If you believe that then I’ll just have to prove that my Deck is the best!” She got up from the table and headed out of the cafeteria. “Where are you going?!” Shinji asked. “To challenge you’re roommate!” Back in room 42, Ryusei was still working away but in a few moments he put his pen down and leaned back on his chair. Ryusei: (“Just two more books and a set of lecture notes and then I’m done. However, Shinji is right. Having a break for a few minutes wouldn’t hurt.”) Ryusei got up and went downstairs. There were a few people around, playing pool and just chatting. He selected some tea from a coffee machine, sat down and then picked up a magazine to read. A few minutes later Vanessa came in the door looking around to see if she can find Ryusei, despite the fact she doesn’t even know what he looks like. Shortly afterwards her friends and Shinji busted in and Shinji noticed Ryusei sitting down reading. “Ryusei?” Shinji said. Ryusei looked up and saw him with a few other people and then a face appeared in front of him. “So you’re Ryusei Fujiwara?” Vanessa asked intriguingly. “Who wants to know?” Ryusei asked back. “I’m Vanessa Rogers, pleased to meet you.” She offered her hand but Ryusei just stared at her which slightly annoyed her. “Vanessa right? Is there something you want?” “Yeah there is actually. A duel!” Vanessa declared. The place fell silent as the people were intrigued to why a duel will happen. Ryusei stared at her before going back to his magazine, saying “No thanks.” Shinji blew a sigh of relief but Vanessa was taking no for an answer. “I heard a story about you so I want to test your strength so let’s go already.” Ryusei turned a page of his magazine. “Again, no thanks, and what story?” “Shinji was saying how you are the one who beat Yuri Nakamura a few days ago.” Vanessa said pointing to Shinji. Ryusei looked at Shinji and Shinji turned away pretending that he didn’t see him. Ryusei looked back at Vanessa and replied, “So? He’s just another duellist.” The people were muttering to each other in surprised fashion as this guy has beaten one of the best duellists in this University. “So it is you?” Vanessa asked. “What is the big deal about it?” Ryusei asked. Vanessa thought she had a plan to trap him so she proclaimed “I’ll happily explain everything to you including why you winning the other day is a big deal IF, you can beat me in a duel.” Ryusei turned another page in his magazine and said, “I’ll take my chances, plus I have no time to waste due to the amount of work I still have to do, so for the last time no and you’re not gonna change my mind.” Vanessa was getting angry so she did what any other person would do. She took a huge deep breath and said “Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me!” Ryusei was ignoring it at first but Vanessa kept on taking deep breaths and repeating the same phrase for a good 5 minutes. Most people were amazed to see the perseverance of Vanessa for continuing and the amount of patience Ryusei had. After another minute Ryusei started to crack as his face was turning into an angry face. “Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! DUUUUEEELLL MEEE!!!” Vanessa shouted Ryusei snapped and shouted “ALL RIGHT!! ALL RIGHT!! I’LL DUEL YOU!!” Vanessa stopped and then said “You didn’t have to shout you know” “Let’s just go” Ryusei said with pure frustration. Outside the dormitory Ryusei and Vanessa shuffled their decks and placed them into their Duel Disks. Everyone who was in the dormitory was now outside watching in anticipation of the coming duel. “Duel!” They both declared. LP (Vanessa-4000/Ryusei-4000) “Ladies first!” Vanessa said as she drew. “I summon Bountiful Artemis (1600/1700) in attack mode! Then I will set 3 face-downs and end my turn.” Ryusei: (“3 face-downs. All Traps I think, this is gonna be difficult.”) “My turn, draw!” Ryusei announced as he drew Apprentice Magician. “I summon Apprentice Magician (400/800) in attack mode. Next I play the Spell, Magical Dimension!” “Stop right there!” Vanessa said, “What?” “I activate my Trap, Magic Drain! When you activate a Spell, my Trap negates it. Unless, you have a Spell Card to discard from your hand.” Ryusei looked at his hand and saw Mind Control but decided against it. “No I don’t.” Magical Dimension exploded in to pieces. “Also due to the effect of my Artemis, I get to draw a card every time a Counter Trap is activated.” Vanessa said and then drew her card. “I play one card face-down and end my turn” “Draw!” Vanessa stated. “I summon Meltiel, Sage of the Sky (1600/1200) in attack mode! Next is the Field Spell, The Sanctuary in the Sky!” Clouds surrounded Ryusei and Vanessa with a tall sanctuary standing behind Vanessa. “As long as my Sanctuary is in play I take no battle damage if Fairy monsters are involved.” Ryusei had an expression that said it didn’t matter so Vanessa went straight into battle. “Artemis! Attack Apprentice Magician!” Vanessa declared “I activate my Trap, Negate Attack!” Ryusei said “So your attack is cancelled and ends the Battle Phase!” “Don’t think so! Go Dark Bribe!” Vanessa replied. Ryusei still kept calm but was aware of the predicament he is under. “Dark Bribe negates your Trap but you get a draw a card.” As Ryusei drew his card his Apprentice Magician exploded and Vanessa’s Life Points went up by 1000. LP (5000/4000) “What the..?” “That’s my Meltiel’s doing there.” Vanessa interrupted. “When I activate a Counter Trap I gain 1000 Life Points and if Sanctuary in the Sky is in play then I can destroy a card. I now draw a card thanks to Artemis. Now back to the original plan. Artemis and Meltiel! Attack Ryusei directly!” Ryusei held his arms up to protect himself from the attacks and went down to one knee in the aftermath. LP (5000/800) The crowd were astounded by the heavy Life Point drop on Ryusei’s side. Vanessa chuckled and took a card from her hand. “I place one card face down and end my turn.” “My turn.” Ryusei said. Ryusei drew Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer. “I summon Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer (1800/700) in attack mode! I’ll attack your Meltiel.” As Meltiel was destroyed by Kycoo’s punch Vanessa just smiled knowing that she is obviously better than this guy and his win was a fluke. “Due to my Sanctuary being on the field, I take no damage” Vanessa said happily. “I’ll set a card face down and end my turn.” “I’ll then activate my Light of Judgement Trap!” Vanessa announced. “By discarding a LIGHT monster from my hand (Layard the Liberator) I can send a card from your field or hand to the Graveyard so I’ll choose your hand!” A white cloud appeared in front of Ryusei’s cards and it formed into a hand which selected his Cybernetic Magician and put it in the Graveyard. Vanessa smiled while Ryusei still look unmoved. Shinji: (“He’s still calm?! How can he be this way when he’s about to lose?!”) “Don’t look so sad. You lost to the better duellist. I draw!” Vanessa smiled as she saw that she drew one of her favourite cards. “I release my Bountiful Artemis to summon Airknight Parshath (1900/1400). Parshath, attack Ryusei directly!” Vanessa: (“if his facedown is a Trap Card, then it’s game over Ryusei.”) “I activate my face down, Enemy Controller!” Ryusei exclaimed which surprised Vanessa. “This card lets me switch your monster to defense mode.” “Whatever. I end my turn.” Vanessa growled in frustration. Ryusei stood still for a while with the crowd anticipating his next move. Ryusei drew his next card. “I play Pot of Greed which allows mw to draw two cards.” As he drew his two cards he realised he can turn this duel around. “I activate Heavy Storm!” “NO!” Vanessa shouted “Awesome! So all Spells and Traps are destroyed!” Shinji said. A strong wind blew onto the field taking Vanessa’s face down and her Field Spell with it. She growled in frustration while Ryusei prepared for his next move. “I’ll activate Monster Reborn so I can special summon a monster from the Graveyard like my Cybernetic Magician (2400/1000)! Cybernetic Magician, attack Airknight Parshath with Light Cyber Blast!” The Magician twirled his staff and fired a blast of white light vaporising Parshath. Vanessa looked in complete shock as her field was wiped out in one move as were the audience. “I play one card face down. You’re move.” Ryusei stated. Vanessa drew her card and got Harvest. Vanessa: (“All right. I can come back next turn but I’m worried about his face downs. I could risk it and equip Bright Castle to my Harvest, taking out his Magician. However, one or both of his face-downs could destroy my monster costing me the duel. It would be better to play it safe.”) “I summon Harvest, the Angel of Wisdom (1800/1200) in defense mode and end my turn.” “Draw.” Ryusei looked at this card and realised he’s won. “I activate my face down Spell Card, Mind Control!” “Mind Control?” Vanessa said in a surprised manner as she thought both his face downs were Traps. “It allows me to take control of one monster on your side of the field but I cannot release it or attack with it.” Ryusei proclaimed. “Then what’s the point of doing that?” Vanessa asked. “I activate United We Stand to equip to my Cybernetic Magician, and he gains 800 ATK for each monster I control.” Ryusei stated. “So that’s why he played Mind Control. With 2 monsters on his side, his monster a 1600 attack point boost!” Shinji said. “Cybernetic Magician (4000/1000) will attack you directly!” “So what if I lose some points. I’ll come back next turn!” Vanessa said angrily “Don’t be so sure” Ryusei replied. Vanessa was confused as was the rest of the crowd. “Go Trap Card, Magician’s Circle! This forces both players to Special Summon a Spellcaster from our Decks in attack mode, as long it has less than 2000 ATK points.” “But I don’t have any Spellcasters in my Deck.” Vanessa said worryingly. “But I do, like my Magician’s Valkyria (1600/1800).” At that point Vanessa sighed as she realised she was about to lose. “Cybernetic Magician and Magician’s Valkyria will wage a double direct attack!” Two beams of lights came from the monsters and hit Vanessa one after the other. She went down to her hands and knees after the attacks went through. LP (0/800) The crowd applauded the duel before dispersing while Shinji went up to Ryusei and said “Great win! That was awesome how you pulled that last turn!” Ryusei walked up to Vanessa who was still down on her hands and knees. “How did I lose this duel?” Vanessa asked herself quietly. “It’s simple” Ryusei answered. Vanessa looked up to see him standing above her with the sun shining on him, depicting him in a heroic manner. “You were duelling for the wrong reasons.” Vanessa looked confused, “The wrong reasons?” she asked. “You were duelling to show off how great your Deck is. Counter Fairies are an expensive deck to create and you were using that as the base of your skill. The fact is that a Deck is only as strong as the duellist who uses it. Having belief in all of the cards you used to make the Deck is what makes you and your Deck strong, whether it is worth thousands or worth nothing.” Vanessa looked down as she was ashamed, due to there being an element of truth to what Ryusei said. Ryusei then offered his hand. Vanessa was surprised but she took his hand and he helped her up. “Good duel Vanessa.” Ryusei said as he stretched his hand. Vanessa smiled and said “Great duel Ryusei!” as she shook his hand. As the three of them were walking back to the dormitory Vanessa was thinking deeply. Vanessa: (“Ryusei. There is something else about this guy, and what did he mean by the right reasons to duel? I guess I won’t find out now but I’ll find out soon enough. Until then, I will get stronger so I can challenge him again and this time, I will win.”) It was evening at the Domino South dormitory and Hayate was in his room making notes on product branding when his cell phone rang. “What’s up?” Hayate answered. “Have you made a decision yet?” “I’ve got no choice but to cut him loose.” Hayate replied “Are you sure? He is you’re cousin?” Hayate sighed and replied “As leader I have to protect the image of our dorm and another screw up like that can severely damage our reputation.” “So what are you suggesting?” “Tell Yuri to come see me tomorrow morning.” Hayate said before hanging up. Preview: Hayate tells Yuri to find the guy who beat him and take vengeance. However if he loses then he will be removed from Hayate’s inner circle. Yuri therefore storms to Domino East to challenge Ryusei to a rematch but Shinji steps in and challenges Yuri to get his pride back. Chapter 3-Prideful Heart Of A Warrior! |

Enjoy Chapter 3 Location: Domino South Dorm It was early morning, around 6.30am. A young man was standing outside the dorm. He had a fearful expression like he was walking towards his execution. Despite feeling daunted the man gulped, walked up the steps and went inside. Nobody was inside the front room as most of the students were sleeping at this time. He walked to the back of the room, turned left past the kitchen and knocked on the door. “Come in” a voice said. The man entered the room and saw a table with five people sitting around it. At the head of the table was Hayate. “Welcome Yuri.” Hayate said. “W-What’s up Hai?” Yuri replied nervously. “Is this a meeting or something?” “You can say that. The main reason you’re here is that I need to talk to you about something.” “What do you need to talk to me about?” Yuri asked. “I think you know” The rest of the table looked sternly at Yuri giving the message that he should know. “Look man.” Yuri said “I screwed up bad, I know that, but it was a fluke win! I controlled the duel from the start…” “Therefore, you should have finished it.” Hayate calmly interrupted. At that point Yuri realised that he’s in more trouble than he thought. Hayate sighed and then got up and walked towards Yuri. “Look, I don’t expect you to win every duel. That’s near impossible. However, when you lose to some random nobody, I have to take action. Our Dorm currently is the best at the moment, I’m the best at the moment and I have to remove anyone who’s a threat to our reputation. So the rest of the people here want you out of the circle.” Yuri was surprised and replied. “You are going to kick me out?! After one mistake! Come on Hai, I know I messed up bad, but I can fix this!” “You should really let me finish.” Hayate said “Sorry” “Even though everyone wants you out, I’m not going to be that hasty. I’m gonna give you another chance.” “You are?” Yuri asked in an astonishing manner while the rest of the table were astounded by the decision. “You are my cousin, Yuri” Hayate said while putting his hand on Yuri’s shoulder. “And I never abandon family; however, you only get one chance and one chance only” “Tell me what I have to do!” Yuri said passionately. “Find the guy who beat you and take vengeance!” Chapter 3-Prideful Heart Of A Warrior Location: Domino East Dorm It was a few days later. At the Domino East Dorm Vanessa was in room 42 with Ryusei and Shinji. They were sitting on the floor in a circle with a map of the different dorms and buildings around the University. “What is this for?” Ryusei asked. “It’s to help with my explanation, the one I promised to give you after our duel remember?” Vanessa answered. “Oh yeah, I forgot about that” Shinji stated. “Okay! To put it in very simple terms there are 5 dorms at the University, Domino North, South, East, West and Central. Each Dorm as someone called a Duel Leader. Now a Duel Leader is someone who is basically the best duellist of the Dorm. They also are the usual suspects you see in university competitions, national tournaments etc. Usually they are 2nd year students, but last year all the Duel Leaders were 1st years, which proves their strength.” “So 5 Dorms and each Dorm, have a Duel Leader right?” Ryusei asked. “Yeah, that’s right” Shinji responded. “So who is ours?” “Truth is we don’t have a Duel Leader, well, we have an unofficial Duel Leader.” Vanessa answered. “An unofficial Duel Leader?” Ryusei asked “What is that?” Shinji followed on with interest. “Well, to be a Duel Leader you have to publicly challenge the current Leader to a match duel, you know, best out of 3 duels and the winner is then announced Duel Leader.” “That doesn’t answer our question.” Ryusei interrupted. “Hold on! I’m getting there!” Vanessa snapped back. “Anyway the current Duel Leader or whatever is Kazuma Oguro.” “Never heard of him” Shinji said. “Well he comes in and out from time to time. It helps when you have your own place to live instead of a dorm. Anyway he’s a nice guy, friendly, quite wise also. But he is very strong, he’ll probably duel circles around you Ryusei” Vanessa said smiling. Ryusei wasn’t amused and had no response. “I swear you have no sense of humour.” Vanessa groaned. “Back on topic, why is Kazuma the unofficial Duel Leader?” Shinji asked. “He was best friends with the previous Duel Leader. They used to Duel all the time but never officially for the title. However, they were more or less evenly matched until he went to study abroad for a year. Since then, no-one challenged Kazuma and it was accepted for him to be Duel Leader.” “Not even one person challenged him?” Ryusei asked. “No. See this dorm; Domino East is not all big on the duelling side of things. Students here would rather focus more on their degrees and other things. So it’s safe to say when it comes to duelling in competitions our dorm is the bottom of the barrel.” Vanessa stated. “This brings me to my next point.” “Ryusei’s victory over Yuri!” Shinji said. “Yep. Domino South’s Leader Hayate, is the current university champion so his dorm is known as the best. The fact that you, someone from ‘East’ have beaten one of Hayate’s elite in ‘South’ as caused a stir in their dorm, and that’s the end of the lesson, any more questions students?” Vanessa joked. “Yeah actually, two more, do you know who the other leaders are, and how do you know all this stuff?” Shinji asked. “I only know Kazuma and Hayate; I have no clue as to who the other Duel Leaders are. As for your 2nd question, I went out a lot during the first week of uni. It’s amazing what you can learn if you just buy people a few drinks.” Vanessa said smiling. “Anyway we should be heading out; the ISD lecture will be on soon.” Ryusei stated. “Yeah your right.” Shinji said. “I’ll walk with you; I got to meet a friend at the main building anyway.” Vanessa said. The trio went out of the room and downstairs. They went out of the dorm and headed towards the University main building. They were walking through the soccer field chatting away when they noticed a group of people looking at them sternly. Shinji recognised immediately that they were the guys from before. Then the group parted ways and Yuri walked through the middle of them to the front and said. “I’ve finally found you!” Ryusei and Yuri eyes were locked in a battle of stares before Ryusei broke the silence. “What do you want?” “I think you know” Yuri said. “Enlighten me.” Yuri got angry and shouted “PAYBACK! Payback for what you did to me that day! Making me lose in front of my friends, to be the laughing stock of the dorm! I want payback for all of it!” “So you want to duel me for revenge, is that it?” Ryusei asked, “If that’s the case then I’m not interested.” Yuri walked up to Ryusei until he was face-to-face with him and said, “You make it sound like I’m giving you a choice.” “So you’re gonna make me duel?” Ryusei replied. “Yeah, Maybe I am.” “Okay, this macho behaviour ain’t really gonna get us anywhere.” Vanessa interrupted. “Stay out of it!” Yuri snapped. “You and me, let’s go, now!” “From your tone it sounds like you want to fight more than a duel.” Ryusei said “Whichever works for you? Mr. Big Shot” As the situation was getting heated Shinji then stepped in between the two saying “Enough already!” “Back off shorty! Leave this conversation to the grown ups!” Yuri said. Ryusei moved forward to defend his friend but Shinji held his hand out signalling Ryusei not to come forward. Shinji then looked at Yuri and said. “I’ll duel you!” Everyone was surprised by Shinji’s statement but Yuri wasn’t impressed. “Look little dude, I don’t even know you so I’m not interested in you.” Shinji became annoyed due to the fact that Yuri doesn’t remember him, especially after the torment he put him through the first time they met. “We are definitely duelling!” Shinji replied. “If I win you lot have to go and never bother us again!” “What’s in it for me?” Yuri said “Well if you win, I’ll let you duel Ryusei of course.” Shinji responded. “Not good enough. I’ll just be wasting my time so how about I’ll take your Deck instead.” “What? Shinji, you can’t accept this!” Vanessa said clearly agitated from the fact that Shinji could lose his Deck as well as himself as a duellist. “I….accept!” Shinji said. Yuri chuckled. “It’s your funeral little man.” Yuri walked to his side and Shinji was about to walk to his until Ryusei stood in front of him. “Are you sure about this Shinji?” “Listen Ryusei, despite me being grateful that you helped me that night. My pride was taking away from me as I was so helpless, so weak, and depended on you to save me. This is an opportunity to get my pride back, to prove to myself that I am more than capable of becoming a good duellist!” “I understand.” Ryusei answered “Just remember what I told you.” Shinji nodded in agreement. He got his Duel Disk out of his bag put it on and inserted his Deck in. “Are you sure you wanna do this?” Yuri asked as he put his Deck in his Duel Disk. “More than anything” Shinji replied as they then both said, “Duel!” (Shinji-4000/Yuri-4000) “You go first little guy” Yuri said mockingly “I have a name and it’s Shinji!” he replied as he drew his first card. “I summon Marauding Captain (1200/400) in attack mode, and when he’s summoned, I can Special Summon another Level 4 or lower monster from my hand like Command Knight (1200/1900) in defense mode!” Yuri looked disinterested which irritated Shinji. So he forcefully continued to get his attention. “Thanks to my Knight’s ability, all Warriors get a 400 ATK point boost! (Marauding: 1600/400, Command: 1600/1900) Finally I’ll equip my Captain with Mage Power to give it another 500 points (2100/400). I end my turn.” “You finished your turn now? About time.” Yuri said sarcastically. He drew his card and said, “First I’ll activate Pot of Greed which let’s me draw two cards and then summon X-Head Cannon (1800/1500). Then by activating the Spell Frontline Base I can use its effect to summon Y-Dragon Head (1500/1600). Now its fusion time as I merge my two machines to form XY-Dragon Cannon (2200/1900)!” Shinji: (“No! it’s stronger than my Captain!”) Yuri smiled and then declared his attack to Marauding Captain destroying it instantly. LP (3900/4000) “Next I play three face-downs and activate Mirage of Nightmare! So in your Standby Phase I get to draw four cards but in my Standby Phase I have to discard four, your turn.” Shinji: (Come on! I can do this!) “My turn” “Before you continue my Mirage allows me to draw 4 cards” Yuri interrupted. “But before you make a fuss about the other effect I’ll activate my face-down Emergency Provisions giving me 1000 Life Points for every Spell or Trap I send to the Graveyard so Mirage says later and I get rewarded.” LP (3900/5000) “Carry on.” Shinji was getting a bit agitated but nevertheless pressed on with his turn. “I equip Command Knight with Fusion Sword Murasame Blade, giving her 800 extra ATK (2400/1900)! I switch it to attack mode and have her attack you’re Dragon Cannon!” Command Knight glided forward about to slash XY but Yuri had something to say. “I activate my face-downs! De-Fusion and Burial From A Different Dimension! Burial takes my two monsters that were removed from play and brings them back to the Graveyard, and then my De-Fusion splits my XY back to its original form!” He smirked. X-Head Cannon (1800/1500) and Y-Dragon Head (1500/1600) appeared on the field both in defense mode which annoyed Shinji. “Command Knight attacks X-Head Cannon!” Shinji shouted. Command Knight slashed X-Head Cannon in half and it exploded. “I’ll play one card face-down and end my turn” “My turn now, first some rebirth action courtesy of Monster Reborn, so X-Head Cannon comes back. Next due to Frontline Base I special summon Z-Metal Tank.” Shinji: (“He’s got all 3 machines now!”) “I think you know what’s coming next.” Yuri smirked. “I fuse my three machines to create XYZ Dragon Cannon (2800/2600)!” The three machines split apart and then joined together once again to create the monster. “I now discard a card (Blue Thunder) to use my XYZ’s effect to destroy a card you control like you’re Knight.” XYZ lifted its lasers and blasted Command Knight to oblivion. “This time you’ve helped me!” Shinji replied “I activate my face-down Soul Rope, so by paying 1000 Life Points I can Special Summon a Level 4 monster from my Deck so come forth Warrior Lady Of The Wasteland (1100/1200) in defense mode!” LP (2900/5000) “Whatever. XYZ attacks your monster!” Yuri declared. The monster raised its cannons and fired beams, instantly shattering the female warrior. “Well now I can use my Lady’s effect. She allows me to Special Summon an EARTH-Warrior monster from my Deck with 1500ATK or less like my Exiled Force (1000/1000)!” “I’m not impressed but anyway, I’ll just play my Spell, Future Fusion.” “Future Fusion?” Shinji questioned. “But XYs can’t be fused by that!” “Maybe you should have considered that I have more than those types of fusions. Barrel Dragon and Blowback Dragon get sent to the Graveyard and in two turns, I get my Gatling Dragon, your turn.” Shinji: (“I have to finish this in two turns!”) “Draw! I will use my Exiled Force’s effect and release it to destroy a monster you control like your Dragon Cannon!” Exiled Force turned bright yellow before disintegrating which then caused XYZ to explode. “I summon my Armed Samurai-Ben Kei (500/800) in attack mode and equip him with my United We Stand. Now my Samurai gains 800 ATK for each monster I control (1300/800). Ben Kei, attack!” Ben Kei threw one of his spears and slashed Yuri but it didn’t bother him. “Is that all?” LP: (2900/3700) “No actually,” Shinji replied. “My Samurai has an effect which allows it to attack a number of times equal to the number of equip cards on him, so he has one more attack!” “What the…” Before Yuri can finish Ben-Kei jumped in the air and threw his 2nd spear which went through Yuji. LP: (2900/2400) “Well done Shinji!” Vanessa shouted, while Yuri looked at him sternly. Ryusei: (“Good work Shinji, but don’t let your guard down.”) “I end my turn.” “Lucky punk!” Yuri said while drawing. “I play Graceful Charity so I draw 3 cards and then discard 2 (Polymerization, W-Wing Catapult) and then play Hammer Shot which destroys your Ben-Kei!” A huge Hammer came from the sky flattening Ben-Kei. Shinji growled at what happened. “Next I play a face-down and end my turn.” Shinji drew his card hoping to get something good but it was Iron Blacksmith Kotesu. “I set a monster face-down and end my turn.” “Is that it? A shame, I expected better from you short stuff.” Yuri mocked. As he drew his card he smiled and his crew actually cheered for the first time, with Vanessa worried and Ryusei unmoved due to what’s coming next. “It’s my 2nd Standby Phase now so that means my Gatling Dragon (2600/1200) can finally appear!” As Yuri’s monster was summoned, Shinji was looking nervous, almost sweating as he knows of Gatling’s capability. “Gatling’s effect allows me to toss a coin 3 times and I can destroy a number of monsters equal to number of heads I get.” Shinji froze, thinking that if Yuri gets 1 head he is wide open. “Let’s find out what fate has in store for you.” Yuri said as he got a coin out of his pocket. 1st toss= Tails, 2nd toss=Heads, 3rd toss=Tails. “1 Head, just what I needed.” Yuri smirked as Gatling Dragon fired bullets which shattered Shinji’s face-down monster. “Oh no.” Vanessa said quietly while Ryusei looked on unconcerned. “Gatling Dragon, direct attack!” This time Gatling Dragon fired dark blue lasers which engulfed Shinji. He dropped to one knee. “Shinji!” Vanessa said worryingly. LP (300/2400) Yuri smiled and his crew were cheering. “I play a card face-down and end my turn.” Shinji was sweating as he was in a major predicament. Vanessa was looking worried for Shinji. Yuri was smiling and said. “I was right in thinking that this was a waste of my time, at least I’ll get a Deck out of it, and then I’m coming for you!” Yuri said pointing at Ryusei. “I won’t let you!” Shinji answered back “What can you do? You tried to be the hero and look at what’s happening now! How can you protect someone if you can’t even protect yourself? If anything you should just surrender now.” Shinji: (Maybe he’s right. How can I win this? I’ve only got Double Summon in my hand, and I’m up against a monster with 2600 ATK and it destroys anything I put down with a single coin toss! I was foolish in thinking I can get my pride back, that I can beat someone like Yuri.”) Ryusei still expressed no emotion but inside he was deeply concerned Ryusei: (“Come on Shinji! You can do this! Just remember what I told you!”) Shinji: (“I wonder what will Ryusei would do in this situation. Wait a sec!”) Flashback SHINJI-“Thank you for saving me. Not many people would have done what you did.” RYUSEI-“No problem” SHINJI-“But I want to know something, how did you remain calm like that? And how did you know you were going to win?” RYUSEI-“I always believe in myself and my deck to get me out of any situation. As someone told me before. Have faith in yourself and your ability and then you can do anything.” Shinji: (“I can do this! I just gotta believe I can! I believe I can!”) With a new found resolve Shinji drew his card. “I play Pot of Greed which allows me to draw 2 cards.” Shinji drew his 2 cards and couldn’t believe his luck as he drew the cards that could at least buy him one more turn. “I can’t believe it worked!” he whispered. “What are you muttering?” Yuri said annoyingly “Err, nothing. I summon Warrior Lady Of The Wasteland (1100/1200) in attack mode and set a card face-down, that’s it.” “That’s it? That’s all?” Vanessa shouted. “Calm down, Vanessa” Ryusei said “Just trust that he knows what he’s doing.” “You don’t know what you’re doing do you?” Yuri said. “Anyway I draw.” Despite his confidence Yuri was slightly concerned about Shinji’s face-down and why he left his Warrior Lady in attack mode like that. So he decided to cover his bases. “I activate my face down, Reckless Greed so I draw two more cards and then activate my Gatling’s ability, time for the triple coin toss.” Shinji was sweating as this coin toss determines the duel. 1st toss=Tails, 2nd toss=Tails, Yuri tossed for the 3rd time. Shinji’s heart was pounding, almost exploding out of his chest. Vanessa looked very worried; Yuri’s crew watched expecting a head while Ryusei was still expressionless. 3rd toss=Tails. Both Vanessa and Shinji breathed a huge sigh of relief. “A shame but it doesn’t really matter as I activate the Spell Scrapyard Shield! By removing two Machine-Type monsters from play (Blue Thunder, W-Wing) my Gatling Dragon is unaffected by all Spells and Traps on your side until the end of the next turn.” Vanessa gasped thinking that Shinji now has no defense. Yuri’s gang were celebrating victory and Yuri just smiled and said. “Don’t feel bad kid, you lost to the better duellist. Gatling Dragon, end this!” the Dragon fired large twin lasers at Shinji’s Warrior Lady. “SHINJI!” Vanessa shouted. “I activate my face-down!” Shinji declared “Spells and Traps don’t affect my Dragon.” “It’s not for you.” Yuri looked confused until he saw the trap that was activated “Ready For Intercepting?!” Yuri shouted. “Yep, now I can select a Warrior monster on the field and flip it to face-down defense!” Shinji said smiling. Yuri’s mouth was wide open, basically speechless as Warrior Lady was flipped face-down and the laser hit it and destroyed it. “Since it was in defense my Life Points are safe and my lady allows me to Special Summon an EARTH-Warrior monster from my Deck with 1500ATK or less such as my D.D. Warrior (1200/1200).” Vanessa cheered while Yuri and his crew were stunned; Ryusei broke a smile for appreciation of the play Shinji made. Yuri growled in frustration “It doesn’t matter; you will still lose! I end my turn!” Shinji: (“Just carry on believing, Shinji, you can win this!”) “My turn and I activate Pot of Avarice! By returning 5 monsters from my Graveyard (Marauding Captain, Command Knight, Exiled Force, Ben-Kei, and Warrior Lady Of The Wasteland) to my Deck, I can shuffle and then draw 2 cards!” Shinji drew his two cards and smiled. “I next summon Mataza the Zapper (1300/800) in attack mode and then play the Spell, Double Summon so I can Normal Summon one more time this turn.” Yuri growled in frustration. “So I release my two monsters so I can summon Gilford the Legend (2600/2000)!” A muscle bound warrior with a black mask and red hair and a cape appeared. “When he’s summoned, I get to take all the Equip Spells out of my Graveyard and equip them to Warrior monsters.” “What?!” Yuri exclaimed as he saw United We Stand, Mage Power and Fusion Sword all going to Gilford’s sword giving him a total of 5700 ATK. “5700?!” “Whoa…” Vanessa said in awe. “GO, Gilford The Legend! Attack Gatling Dragon! Justice Slash!” “NOOOO!” Yuri shouted as Gilford jumped in the air holding his huge sword representing all the power he has within him and slashed Gatling Dragon in half causing a huge explosion. As the smoke cleared Yuri fell to his knees. LP: (300/0) “I won,” Shinji said in disbelief “I WON!” he said again. “Way to go Shinji!” Vanessa celebrated as she ran to him and hugged him. “Thanks.” Shinji said. Ryusei walked up to Shinji and high-fived him. “Good work Shinji” he said smiling “Do you have your pride back now?” “Yeah. I think I do, but I will have to celebrate later because we are late.” Shinji said. Both of them ran off with Vanessa following while Yuri’s crew left him alone on the field. Yuri was still on his knees looking at the ground wondering how, what and why until late evening when he finally got up and walked. In the Domino South Dorm, Hayate was in his room on his laptop searching for something on the internet when he got a phone call. “Yeah,” He answered in an irritated fashion. “Have you heard?” the guy said. “Of course I heard, and he’s been cut loose, well when I see him I will.” Hayate responded. “What are you doing now?” “Now I’m going to do some damage limitation on our rep. When you want a good job done you do it yourself.” “Meaning?” the guy asked. Hayate stopped searching when he found what he was looking for.

Enjoy Chapter 4 Location: Domino East Dorm It was late evening and while Ryusei was lying in bed reading a text book on Software Systems, Shinji was looking through Ryusei’s deck. “You’re Deck is pretty cool Ryusei, but you gotta change a couple of things. It’s a bit outdated.” Shinji said “Like what?” Ryusei asked disinterested as he turned a page. “You should add some Tuners and Synchro Monsters.” “Tuners and what Monsters?” Ryusei asked, sitting up from a bed now taking an interest. “Synchro Monsters, you never heard of them?!” Shinji asked in a surprising manner. Ryusei just looked at him which gave Shinji his answer. Shinji sighed and pulled a box from under his bed. It contained past issues of Duel Monster magazines. He rifled through them and pulled one out from two months ago. He flicked through the pages until he found what he was looking for and showed it to Ryusei. “Tuners and Synchros are the new thing in duelling; nowadays most people have them in their Decks as they add a new dimension to duelling. Even I have some.” Shinji went to his Deck pouch and pulled out copies of Nitro Warrior and Colossal Fighter and showed them to Ryusei. Ryusei took the two cards and studied them. “Hmm. They are pretty handy, for you anyway, but how would you summon them?” “Easy, you take a Tuner monster like this” Shinji showed him Nitro Synchron, “and then when you have a monster or monsters on the field that is an equal level to a Synchro Monster you have, you send them to the Graveyard to summon the Synchro monster. For example Nitro Synchron is level 2, and my Freed The Matchless General is level 5. So I would send them from my field to the Graveyard to do a level 7 Synchro Monster like Nitro Warrior!” “Fair enough” Ryusei said “Would be nice to have a few.” “So you’re gonna get some?” Shinji asked with glee. “Are there any Spellcaster Synchro monsters?” Ryusei asked. “Not that I know of.” Shinji answered quietly. “Then no.” he answered as he gave the cards back and went back to his text book lying in bed. Shinji growled a little in annoyance. Chapter 4-A Duel with Mother Nature! It was mid afternoon on the next day. The day was generally clouded with outbreaks of sunshine here and there. Yuri was walking around the town centre of Domino with his head down. People were barging into him as he wasn’t looking at where he was going. Some apologised, some abused him, and some didn’t care. He walked into a bar and sat down, presenting his ID and ordering a beer. As he was drinking away he didn’t notice that someone sat next to him to his left. “Drinking in the middle of the day? Not exactly healthy is it?” a voice said. Yuri turned to his left and noticed it was Hayate. “Then again, I’m not surprised after you’ve been avoiding me for the last few days.” “Hayate. Look man, I…” “Save it. This time you royally screwed up!” Hayate said clearly annoyed. “It wasn’t even the guy you lost to the first time! But his little friend?!” Yuri hanged his head in shame in realisation of what he has done. Hayate sighed and said, “I know you’re my cousin but this one I can’t let go.” “But…” “No buts about it!” “Screw you man!” Yuri said in anger. Hayate grabbed Yuri’s shirt and brought him closer to his face and said, “Screw me?! I stuck my neck out for you when everyone else wanted you out! I went against my best friend’s advice to kick you out first time because you were family! So don’t tell me to screw myself!” Hayate let go of Yuri who then regretted his earlier actions. “I’m sorry” Yuri said “I really am. I don’t even know what happened that day? I had it…and then I lost it.” Yuri took another swig before Hayate sighed and said calmly. “Look, I’ve got no choice this time. I have to remove you from the circle.” Yuri accepted the decision by nodding his head. Hayate put his arm across Yuri’s back and continued, “This doesn’t mean I’ll leave you behind though. One thing I’ve been taught well is that family is the most important thing you can have so I’ll always be here for you. Plus your mum makes some legendary ramen!” Both chuckled from the last comment Hayate made. “So, we cool?” Yuri nodded his head to answer yes. Hayate patted him on the back and walked out of the bar. He took out his phone and made a call to someone. The man wearing a beige shirt and jeans from before answered the phone. His Student ID read “Tasuku Miyamoto-Domino South” “Yeah?” Tasuku answered. “It’s done now. Where are we in finding this Ryusei kid?” Hayate replied. “The word is out; I’ll let you know when we find him.” “Good.” Hayate answered as he hanged up the phone. At the football field, Vanessa, Shinji and about 10 other guys were having a 6-a-side football match. Ryusei was sitting on the field off the pitch, carrying on the reading he was doing last night. As the ball was down the other end Shinji ran across to Ryusei and asked him, “Aren’t you gonna join in Ryusei?” “I’ll join in when I’ve finished this chapter.” “How many more pages?” “6.” Shinji just groaned and said while running back on the field “You take this too seriously, you gotta relax sometime!” Back to the match Vanessa received the ball at the left wing and sprinted down the line. She jumped over a tackle that came across and looked in the penalty area and saw a team-mate there. She crossed it into the box which the defender only half cleared. The ball bounced on the edge of the box and Shinji came charging forward. Vanessa and her team-mates watched in anticipation as they expected Shinji to smash it in the net but he lent back when shooting and the ball went sky-high over the bar. “SHINJI!” Vanessa shouted as she sprinted towards him and grabbed him “WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THAT?!” Shinji scratched the back of the head and said while chuckling nervously “Erm, miss-timed shot?” Vanessa growled at him before realising that the ball went quite a distance, so she pointed towards the direction of the ball for Shinji to go and get it. “Don’t worry, we’ve got another ball.” one of the players said. “Well someone still has to go and get my one!” Vanessa said looking sternly at Shinji. “I’ll go get it.” Vanessa turned to see it was Ryusei who said that. “I needed to stretch my legs anyway.” Ryusei picked up his bag and went in the direction of where the ball went. Elsewhere there was a greenhouse. It was filled with many different pots of plants and flowers on the shelves and vegetable patches on the ground. A girl was standing in front of the shelves, watering the plants. She was average height with crimson hair down to her shoulder, and wore oval shaped glasses over her crimson eyes. She wore a red dress decorated with different sized pink flowers and red heeled shoes. She was humming a gentle tune when suddenly a football came in the greenhouse. It bounced and was about to land on a vegetable patch when the girl, without looking stuck a hand out and caught the ball. She put it down gently on the ground, away from the patches and continued her watering. A few minutes later Ryusei was walking by when he saw the greenhouse. As he went closer he noticed the ball inside so he went stood in the doorway. He then noticed the girl watering the plants and the ball was behind her. She stopped her watering and turned to see Ryusei at the doorway. “Hey.” The girl said softly. “Hey.” Ryusei replied. “So who are you?” she asked. “Someone, who needs that ball back,” The girl smiled and was intrigued by the way he answered that question. She walked slowly up to him. She then took closer looks at him and circled around him making Ryusei feel a little uncomfortable. “I’ve never seen you before. Why is that?” she asked softly. “I started late this semester.” Ryusei answered. The girl stopped her circling and stood in front of him. “That explains it.” She said “I volunteer to help with the first week for sign-ups, registration, touring, etcetera, etcetera. Anyway where are you from?” “Originally Tokyo, but moved to Osaka and then, Domino.” Ryusei answered cautiously “Why?” “Just curious,” She answered while walking away, picking up her watering can and continued watering the few remaining plants. “Why did you move?” “Long story.” “I’ve got time.” “Yeah, well it’s longer than the time you’ve got.” Ryusei said defensively. The girl realised then she touched a sensitive spot. So she finished watering her plants quickly and walked back to Ryusei, and tried to get the conversation back on track. “I’m Ayaka” the girl said pleasantly while offering her hand. “Ryusei” he responded as he gently shook her hand. “Sorry to be a bit forceful but can I have the ball back please?” “You can…if you duel me first.” She responded. “Come again?” “I have a strange habit of wanting to know as much as I can about a person and duelling is one way I suppose of knowing how a person is.” Ryusei was uncertain by her comment so she continued her persuasion. “Come on, it’s a win-win situation. I get to know you, and you get your ball back over a friendly game of cards.” She said smiling. Ryusei sighed but accepted the request by taking out his Duel Disk from his bag and standing outside. Ayaka then joined him in a minute with her own Duel Disk. Both players inserted their Decks in their Disks and shouted. “Duel!” LP (Ayaka-4000/Ryusei-4000) “Do you mind if I go first?” Ayaka asked. Ryusei kept silent and was instead concentrating on the move she would make. “I’ll take that as a yes” she said as she drew her card. “I play Foolish Burial so I can send a monster from my Deck to the Graveyard (Gigaplant). I next play Swing of Memories. This Spell allows me to Special Summon a Normal Monster from my Graveyard like my Gigaplant (2400/1200) in attack mode.” She gently took the card from the Graveyard and placed it on the Duel Disk in one smooth motion. Ryusei: (“A Gemini monster.”) “Next I Normal Summon my Gigaplant so it now becomes an Effect Monster.” A blue light surrounded Gigaplant and then disappeared displaying the change from Normal to Effect Monster. “I now activate Gigaplant’s effect allowing me to Special Summon a Plant-Type monster from my hand such as Lonefire Blossom (500/1400) in defense mode” Again in a fluid motion she took the card from her hand and placed it gently on her Duel Disk. “Next I use my Blossom’s effect. I can release a Plant monster to Special Summon a Plant monster from my Deck. So I release Gigaplant to summon Regenerating Rose (0/1500) in attack mode. I play a card face-down and end my turn.” Ryusei: (She duels elegantly; taking care of her cards like each one of them was a real plant, a flower. It also seems that her Blossom is a key card despite leaving herself open with her Rose. With 0 ATK she must want me to destroy it, Okay.) “My turn,” Ryusei said while drawing. “I summon Maiden of Macabre (1700/0) in attack mode. My Maiden will attack your Lonefire Blossom!” The Maiden charged at Lonefire Blossom and slashed it with her axe. “When my Maiden destroys a monster by battle it gains a Spell Counter, increasing its attack by 200 per one.” A small yellow ball of light appeared above the Maiden’s head (1900/0). “I play a card face-down and end my turn.” Ayaka: (“He’s quite clever in not taking my bait. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to do it myself.”) Back on the field, Vanessa had the ball and beat three players with her skill. She was one-on-one with the goalkeeper so she faked a shot committing the goalkeeper, went around him and slotted the ball into an empty net. “And that’s game!” she said. The score ended 5-3 in favour of Vanessa’s team. As all the players shook hands and chatted Shinji went up to her and said “You were pretty awesome Vanessa! But I have to ask how come you’re so good?” “I played a lot with my Dad and sometimes I used to come to training when he was managing back home.” She answered. “He’s managing a team here right?” “Yeah, Gamba Osaka, they’re doing okay this season. Anyway, where is Ryusei, he’s been gone ages and I want my ball back!” “He has been gone a long time.” Shinji said while looking at his watch. “He probably got lost or something. Come on, let’s just find him.” Back at the duel Ayaka had just drawn her card to begin her next turn. “I’ll have Regenerating Rose attack you’re Maiden of Macabre.” “What?” Ryusei said as he was taken aback by the command. His maiden slashed the rose which destroyed it. LP (2100/4000) In the aftermath, two monsters which looked like mini Regenerating Roses (1200/1200) appeared. Ryusei then looked serious and realised the plan. “Those are tokens right?” “When Regenerating Rose is destroyed by battle I get 2 Rose tokens on my side of the field. I will then release them to summon Tytannial, Princess of Camellias (2800/2600). I then play Seed of Deception which allows me to Special Summon a Level 2 or lower Plant monster from my hand like Cursed Fig (200/200) in attack mode. End turn.” “My turn and I play Enemy Controller. By releasing a monster on my side of the field I can take control of one of yours like your Tytannial.” A giant joypad appeared and, a combination of buttons was pressed forcing Macabre to be released and Tytannial joining Ryusei’s side. “I didn’t see that one coming.” Ayaka said smiling. “Tytannial attack Cursed Fig!” Ryusei announced. “Unfortunately for you…” Ayaka said as she flipped her Trap. This surprised Ryusei as he thought her face-down was meant to destroy it. “I activate Dimension Wall, which forces you to take the Battle Damage this turn when you declare an attack.” As Tytannial blew Cursed Fig away the wind changed direction and blasted Ryusei. LP (2100/1400) Ayaka smiled, while Ryusei recovered from the attack. “Also I should mention when Cursed Fig is in the Graveyard after being destroyed by battle I can select 2 face-downs on your side and you cannot activate them.” A mini-fig with a mouth appeared on top of Ryusei’s face-down (Negate Attack). “I summon Apprentice Magician (400/800) in defense mode and set a card face-down and end my turn.” Tytannial returned to Ayaka’s side of the field. Ryusei: (“She’s very good. Her style seems to be against the way her opponent’s play. Since I’m aggressive she’s inviting me on for attacks and countering them in a way that hugely benefits her.”) Vanessa and Shinji were walking around when they saw the duel going on nearby. At the same time a group of girls from the other side noticed the duel so all of them ran towards the area. “Ryusei!” Vanessa and Shinji shouted. “Aya!” the girls shouted. As they arrived Ryusei and Ayaka turned to their respective friends and responded. “What’s going on here? I ask you get a ball and you’re duelling?” Vanessa said in an irritated tone. “Aya, Why are you duelling this guy?” one of the girls shouted. “I needed to duel to get the ball back.” Ryusei answered. “Don’t worry girls,” Ayaka said “I challenged him. I know you’re thinking why, and that I shouldn’t duel before you guys but, he was…interesting.” she said smiling. “Who are you anyway?” Shinji asked. “You don’t know?!” one of the girls said angrily “This is the great Ayaka Uchiha, Duel Leader of Domino West!” “A Duel Leader?” Shinji and Vanessa said in unison. “Mina, you’re embarrassing me!” Ayaka said while she slightly blushed. “You’re a Duel Leader then?” Ryusei asked. “Guilty!” She answered while laughing nervously. Ryusei smiled at the fact this duel has become more interesting than he thought it would be. “Anyway, Ayaka, it’s your turn.” “There is no point of continuing. Every time Tytannial is summoned, Ayaka never loses!” One of the girls sneered. Ryusei didn’t pay attention to the comments which annoyed the girls but Ayaka signalled them to calm down. “My turn, I play Pot of Greed which lets me draw 2 cards and then play Monster Reborn on Lonefire Blossom (500/1400) in attack mode. Tytannial attack Apprentice Magician.” The magician shattered to pieces. “When my Apprentice is destroyed I can summon a Level 2 Spellcaster in face-down defense so I choose Old Vindictive Magician (450/600)!” “Lonefire Blossom attack Ryusei’s face-down.” Ayaka declared. “Why would she do that? It has less ATK than Ryusei’s defending monster.” Shinji asked Ryusei’s monster survived the attack and was flipped face-up. LP: (2000/1400) Ryusei then smiled as he announced “When my Old Vindictive Magician is flipped, I can destroy a monster on your side of the field so take out her Princess!” “Sorry but I activate my Tytannial’s effect! When you target a card with an effect I can release a Plant monster (Lonefire Blossom) to negate the effect and destroy the card!” Ayaka announced as Ryusei’s monster was destroyed. “I set a monster face-down and end my turn” “I draw,” Ryusei declared “and I discard a card from my hand (Cybernetic Magician) to Special Summon The Tricky (2000/1200) from my hand! I then summon Magician’s Valkyria (1600/1800). Tricky will attack your face-down monster!” The monster destroyed turned out to be Morphing Jar. “When Morphing Jar is flipped we discard our entire hands and draw five new cards.” Ayaka said. As both players replenished their hands Ryusei declared his turn finished. “My turn then!” Ayaka said while drawing “I summon Vampire Orchis (1700/1000) and when he is summoned I can special summon Des Dendle (300/2000) from my hand in defense. I then play the Spell, Fragrance Storm. By destroying a Plant monster like my Orchis I can draw a card.” Orchis shattered as Ayaka drew her card. “Next up I play Seed of Deception again so I can Special Summon Tuner Monster-Nettles (1200/400) in attack mode.” “Wait a minute!” Ryusei said. Flashback SHINJI- “You should add some Tuners and Synchro Monsters.” RYUSEI- “Tuners and what Monsters?” SHINJI-“Synchro Monsters, you never heard of them?! Tuners and Synchros are the new thing in duelling; nowadays most people have them in their Decks as they add a new dimension to duelling. Even I have some.” Ryusei: (“Is she gonna summon a Synchro Monster?”) “My Princess will attack Magician’s Valkyria!” Tytannial shot out from her palms, thousands of flower petals which sliced through Valkyria, destroying it. LP: (2000/200) “Ryusei!” Vanessa shouted as Ayaka’s friends enjoyed the fact that she was winning. “I play two cards face-down, your move.” Ryusei drew his card and smiled. “Before you do anything, I activate my face-down Battle Mania which forces you to attack this turn!” The trap didn’t bother Ryusei. He figured out that she wants him to attack Nettles, and that her face-down will probably switch it to Tytannial so she will win. So he continued his turn. “I activate Monster Reborn to get Cybernetic Magician (2400/1000) back from the Graveyard. Next I use its ability to discard a card (Magical Marionette) and make one monster’s ATK fixed at 2000! Limited Strength!” His magician shot a beam of light on Ayaka’s Tytannial reducing her attack to 2000. “I then play my Trap, Spell Book of Power! In my Main Phase I can remove 2 Spells from my Graveyard (Monster Reborn and Enemy Controller) to increase one monster’s attack by 1000! (Cybernetic Magician-3400/1000) Cybernetic Magician, attack her Princess with Light Cyber Blast!” A beam of light came from his staff enveloping Tytannial and destroying it. Ayaka put her hands up to protect herself. LP: (600/200) Everyone watching was completely shocked at the destruction of Ayaka’s monster. Ayaka herself was stunned at the play Ryusei made. “Tricky, attack Nettles!” “Ryusei’s won!” Vanessa and Shinji said with happiness. “I don’t think so!” Ayaka proclaimed “as I activate Urgent Tuning!” “Urgent what?” Ryusei asked. “Urgent Tuning, this can only be activated in a Battle Phase. It allows me to Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster. So I tune my level 2 Nettles with my level 4 Des Dendle!” Nettles exploded into two bright stars which formed into two green rings. The rings descended onto Des Dendle which turned into 4 bright stars, and then a large pillar of light appeared behind Ayaka. “Synchro Summon! Fully blossom, Queen of Thorns (2200/1800)!” A woman appeared wearing an outfit of leaves and thorns, with teethed plants as hands. “Great.” Ryusei said sarcastically. “Now your Tricky is forced to attack my Queen due to Battle Mania!” Tricky went to attack but got destroyed by multiple thorns shot out by Queen of Thorns. As Tricky was destroyed, Ryusei hanged his head. LP: (600/0) “Ryusei lost?” Shinji said completely shocked by the outcome. “I told you he would lose!” Mina sneered. Ryusei then lifted his head up and chuckled. “I have to admit you got me there with your Synchro.” He said while smiling. “Well I’ll have to say that move to take down my Tytannial was pretty good.” Ayaka said smiling. As the two were talking about their duel, the girls were confused while Vanessa got frustrated and ran in the greenhouse. “What are you doing?” Shinji called out. “I’ve waited all this time so I’m getting my ball back!” Vanessa replied. Location: Domino South Hayate just left the Dorm to get something to eat. But he got a phone call from Tasuku. “What’s up?” “He’s outside the greenhouse near Domino West.” Tasuku said. “Thanks” “Also, it turns out he was duelling Ayaka and lost so he shouldn’t be too tough.” “We’ll see when we meet him.” Preview: Ryusei, Vanessa and Shinji are walking back to their Dorm after the duel and football match respectively where they bump into Hayate and his circle. Hayate challenges Ryusei to a duel in order to get respect for his Dorm and payback for Yuri. Ryusei reluctantly accepts the duel but struggles against Hayate’s style of play and his Horus monsters.

Enjoy chapter 5 Location: Domino West It was about ten minutes after the duel between Ayaka and Ryusei. The two of them were sitting outside the greenhouse talking about their duel and generally chatting. Vanessa was standing there with Shinji, spinning her ball on her finger. She stared in a confused manner at Ayaka and Ryusei. Shinji continuously looked at Vanessa and the other two before Vanessa stopped her ball spinning and broke the silence. “They have been talking for ages!” Vanessa said in an annoyed fashion. “It’s only been ten minutes.” Shinji replied. “I know, but can you really talk for that long about a duel? I mean, he not like this when he’s with us.” “Maybe he just finds it easy to talk to.” “And we’re not?!” “Well you are over-aggressive sometimes, and why are you so angry? Are you jealous of the two of them?” Vanessa slapped the back of Shinji’s head. When he recovered she slapped the back of his head again. “The first one was for calling me aggressive! I prefer very competitive! The second one is for thinking I’m jealous of plant girl and Mr. Not-so-silent!” she said angrily. “Okay! I’m sorry!” Shinji replied while rubbing the back of his head. “So what have you learnt about me?” Ryusei asked. Ayaka smiled and said cheekily “That’s for me to know.” Ryusei smiled and then stood up. “I’ve gotta go now, my friends are waiting for me” he said. “However I will see you around.” He stretched his hand expecting a handshake but Ayaka got up and then hugged him. “Thanks for a great duel.” Ayaka said. “Err…thanks as well” Ryusei replied, surprised from Ayaka’s actions. As the two finished their embrace Ryusei walked towards his friends and Ayaka was walking to her friends deep in thought. Ayaka: (“Ryusei. I can tell you’re a virtuous person as you stand for what you believe in. It seems that you would protect the bonds you have with others no matter the cost. Hence why you’re Cybernetic Magician is your ace card. His ability is very similar to yours in the protection of others. However, I feel…”) Something struck Ayaka’s mind which disturbed her thoughts. She told her friends she forgot something and she that she will be back. She ran to the greenhouse, went inside and looked around. It seemed everything was normal and she was about to leave. However, she caught her eye on something. On the left shelf was a pot of full bloomed daisies but it was dark in the middle. She went closer to the pot and noticed in the middle was a dark coloured flower. She pulled it out and identified it as a black rose. Ayaka: (“A black rose, this flower apparently is a warning of ill omens, coming to wherever it grows. But black roses don’t grow anywhere near this area! Is something bad going to happen?”) Chapter 5-Newborn Rivalry! Ryusei vs. Hayate! Ryusei and his friends were walking back towards their dorm where Shinji asked Ryusei, “What’s the deal between you and that girl?” “Who, Ayaka?” Ryusei replied. “Yeah, you two were talking for quite a while.” “What’s the problem with that?” “No offence Ryusei, but you are more of a strong, silent type” Vanessa intervened. “Seeing you talk like that was kind of abnormal for us.” A confused Ryusei looked at Vanessa. He was thinking is he really that non-talkative as they are saying he is. So he replied, “I guess…she was easy to talk to.” “What do you mean?” Shinji asked “Well her personality was sort of charismatic.” “Charismatic?” Vanessa asked, “Yeah, she talked in a way that makes you want to talk…if that makes sense.” “Actually no” Shinji answered. “You’ll understand when you talk to her.” The gang continued walking as the day approached early evening and the sun was just starting to set. As they reached the football field before their dorm they noticed a group of guys standing around. “There he is!” one of the guys shouted out. Ryusei and his friends stopped as the other group of guys stared at them in an angry fashion. “Calm down guys, there’s no need for trouble.” A voice said. The group settled and split apart to reveal a person in the middle. It was Hayate. “Ryusei Fujiwara.” Hayate said. Ryusei turned his attention to Hayate as the two stared at each other before Hayate said. “I’ve been looking for you.” “Oh no.” Vanessa whispered. “What is it?” Shinji asked. “That’s Hayate Nakamura, Duel Leader of Domino South!” she proclaimed. “That’s Hayate?” Shinji said nervously. “What do you want?” Ryusei asked, unmoved from the news he just heard. Hayate took a few steps forward and answered. “I used to think that you were some nobody who fluked a win against my cousin.” “Yuri’s you’re cousin?” Shinji asked. Hayate just ignored the question and moved on. “Then I hear talk about some 1st year at Domino East shaking things up, including that victory. So I then thought maybe he’s just got a bit of luck on his side.” Ryusei looked at Hayate in an unconcerned manner. “However, then my cousin loses to your friend here which basically killed his spirit!” Hayate said pointing at Shinji. “So I thought maybe, just maybe, I should do something about him. Then finally I hear you were duelling Ayaka. A Duel Leader like, me, is very skilled. So then at that point I was 100% sure that this person is somebody, somebody I have to deal with myself.” “If this is another duel avenging defeat then don’t bother asking because I won’t duel you…besides, each person is responsible for his own self. If someone loses a battle he shouldn’t run to someone else to fight for him.” The guys were getting annoyed before Tasuku signalled for them to calm down. Hayate smiled at the comment and replied “I agree with you there. However I’m not gonna duel you for revenge, well a small part is revenge but not the main reason.” “Then why are you here?” Ryusei asked. “Simple. I’m here to remove the competition.” Ryusei looked lost from that statement as did Vanessa and Shinji. “What do you mean remove the competition?” Vanessa asked. “Basically, this man has gone and damaged the reputation of our dorm. People don’t see us as the best anymore and I’m here to fix that.” “How is a duel gonna fix that?” A puzzled Shinji asked. “This talk about Ryusei is making him more famous by the day so…” “A victory over me will shut the people up.” Ryusei interrupted. “Then if they find out it was you who beat me your reputation would be repaired somewhat.” “You’re catching on.” Hayate replied. “So what’s it going to be Ryusei? Do you accept? I mean if you win you’ll be a bit more famous. If you lose then people stop talking but it won’t exactly harm you. So you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.” Ryusei was thinking deeply about whether to accept. Bearing in mind he just had a long duel against Ayaka. “I’m wouldn’t be surprised if you don’t accept.” Hayate said “I mean, you narrowly beat Yuri, you lost to Ayaka and I’m stronger than both.” “Really?” Ryusei asked. “I’m guessing you don’t know I’m the current inter-dorm champion. I normally wouldn’t waste my time duelling guys like you. But I want to duel you to prove to everybody that you are nothing more than a fluke.” “Don’t do it Ryusei!” Vanessa exclaimed. “You let you’re girlfriend make the decisions for you?” Hayate asked Ryusei. “I’m not his girlfriend!” Vanessa shouted angrily. Ryusei signalled at Vanessa to calm down. He sighed and then said. “To be honest I’m getting tired of Domino South. You lose a couple of duels and you all come out like you’re avenging a fallen comrade. However, I feel that this isn’t going to end unless this duel takes place, so let’s duel!” “Good luck, as you will need it.” Hayate smirked. The two grabbed their Duel Disks and put them on. As Ryusei shuffled his Deck, Hayate inserted his Deck into his Duel Disk. This automatically shuffled it for him. Ryusei wasn’t bothered as he put his Deck in. both players drew their five cards and shouted “Duel!” LP (Hayate-4000/Ryusei-4000) “I prefer to go second so you’re up East boy.” Hayate sneered. “My turn then!” Ryusei said as he drew his card. Ryusei: (“Not much defense in my hand, but I gotta play it safe until I see what Deck he has.”) “I summon Maiden of Macabre (1700/0) in defense mode! I play a card face-down and end my turn.” “It has no defense points! Why did he play it in defense mode?” an agitated Shinji asked. “He must have a reason, Shinji.” Vanessa said. Hayate smiled. “With moves like that this shouldn’t take long” he said as he drew his card. “I summon Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4 (1600/1000) in attack mode!” Ryusei: (“CRAP! He uses Horus monsters!”) “Horus monsters?!” Shinji said. “This is bad. Horus monsters negate Spells in which Spellcasters thrive on!” Hayate smiled while Ryusei prepared himself for an attack. “Hours LV4 attack Ryusei’s Maiden with Black Mini-Flame!” “Go Trap Card! Magic Cylinder!” Ryusei shouted as two pink cylinders appeared. “This trap negates an attack and inflicts damage equal to the attacking monster’s strength!” Horus’ black fireball went into one cylinder and came out of the other hitting Hayate. LP (2400/4000) “Not bad. I play two face-downs and call it a turn.” Hayate: (“I have to win this!”) “My turn!” Ryusei declared. “I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior (1600/100) in attack mode! When he’s summoned it gets a Spell Counter on it increasing its strength by 300 (1900/1000).” “So?” Hayate replied. “So I’ll activate Breaker’s effect, removing the counter to take out one of you’re face-downs!” Breaker jumped in the air and slashed a face-down in half (Level Down?!). Ryusei: (“I shouldn’t risk attacking because of his other face-down…no, I can’t back down!”) “I switch my Maiden to attack mode! Maiden, attack Horus!” Macabre slashed Horus in half with her axe. LP (2300/4000) Now Breaker! Attack Hayate directly.” Breaker sprinted towards Hayate and slashed him across the chest. LP (700/4000) Vanessa and Shinji cheered but Hayate’s group were unconcerned. Tasuku just smiled and thought to himself that Hayate is deliberately toying with Ryusei. “Anything else?” Hayate asked. “I play a card face-down and end my turn.” “Good” Hayate replied as he drew. “As for me I set a monster face-down and 3 face-downs. You’re turn.” “Ryusei can win this in this turn!” Shinji said excitedly “I’m not sure” Vanessa replied. Shinji looked to Vanessa wondering why. “Look at Hayate’s friends; they are not even bothered he only has a few hundred points left. Something’s up here.” Ryusei: (“This is my opportunity to win!”) “My turn!” Ryusei declared. “Maiden of Macabre attacks you’re face-down monster!” “Sorry but I play my Sakuretsu Armour which destroys you’re monster!” Ryusei growled and then declared Breaker’s attack on Hayate’s monster. As Breaker slashed the monster it turned out to be Morphing Jar (700/600). “Since you hit Morphing Jar our hands are discarded and we draw five new cards” Hayate stated. They both drew their five cards and Ryusei ended his turn. “My turn” Hayate said. “First I play a face-down and activate my face-down Emergency Provisions so I get 1000 life points for each Spell or Trap I send to the Graveyard. So I send the face-down I just set to gain my points.” LP (1700/4000) “Next I summon Phantom of Chaos (0/0) in attack mode!” “0 points?” Ryusei questioned. “What it lacks in strength it makes up in its unique effect. I can remove from play a Monster from my Graveyard and Phantom of Chaos gets all the stats of the monster selected.” “So that means…” Shinji said. “That if I remove Horus LV4 from my Graveyard my Phantom becomes Horus!” The Phantom morphed into a completely black clone of Horus LV4 (1600/1000). “Now I play Rush Recklessly, increasing its attack by 700 (2300/1000). “I’ll also activate a card!” Ryusei interrupted “Spell Book of Power! This trap removes 2 Spells from my Graveyard and can boost my Breaker’s attack by 1000!” “Not happening, Ryusei!” “What?” “I activate my face-down Royal Decree which negates all Traps, and you can’t activate any Traps as long as this card is on the field.” Ryusei gritted his teeth, realising his predicament. Shinji then noticed that Ryusei is not himself in this duel. Throughout the whole duel he seemed to be anxious, therefore Ryusei is rushing his plays. “Phantom of Chaos. Attack Breaker!” Breaker was destroyed but Ryusei didn’t lose any life points which puzzled Vanessa and Shinji. “In case you’re wondering why, Phantom of Chaos doesn’t deal battle damage.” Tasuku said to the others. “I play a face-down and end my turn and when my turn ends Horus gets sent to the Graveyard and Horus LV6 (2300/1600) comes out!” A larger dragon similar to Horus LV4 rose and roared loudly. “Your turn.” Vanessa and Shinji looked very worried as Hayate’s crew was smiling. Ryusei drew his card and said “I play Monster Reborn on Maiden of Macabre and play Magical Dimension, releasing my Maiden to summon Cybernetic Magician (2400/1000)! I then discard a card (Apprentice Magician) to activate is effect of limiting a monster’s strength to 2000!” Hayate wasn’t bothered that Horus was limited to 2000 attack. “Cybernetic Magician attack Horus LV6 with Light Cyber Blast!” Cybernetic Magician twirled his staff before releasing a blast of white light destroying Horus. LP (1300/4000) “I summon Magician’s Valkyria (1600/1800) in defense mode and end my turn.” Hayate: (“You’ll pay for that!”) “My turn then.” Hayate declared as he drew. “First, I’ll play Level Modulation so you get to draw two cards.” Ryusei drew two cards thinking what Hayate is up to. “In return, I get to Special Summon a LV monster from my Graveyard so come back, Horus LV6 (2300/1600)! I play another face-down. You’re turn, Ryusei.” Hayate said smiling despite his annoyance inside. Hayate: (“That is the last time you will destroy my Horus!”) Ryusei drew his card thinking what to do. Shinji: (“Ryusei can’t attack it’s too risky. I shouldn’t be worried about him really but he seems different this time.”) Ryusei: (“I shouldn’t attack because of his face-down. NO! I gotta win this no matter what!”) “I discard a card (Brain Control) to activate my Cyber Mage’s effect one more time decreasing Horus to 2000! Attack Horus now!” This move surprised Shinji and Vanessa while Hayate smiled. “Activate Shrink so your monster’s ATK gets cut in half (Cybernetic Magician-1200/1000)!” Ryusei was shocked and realised what he’s done. “Horus, strike back with Black Flame!” Cybernetic Magician was destroyed. LP (1600/3200) “I end my turn” Ryusei said quietly. “Well in the End Phase two things happen. Firstly I’ll activate my face-down Fires of Doomsday so I get 2 Doomsday tokens (0/0) onto the field.” 2 small black flames with arms appeared, both with one green eye. “Also since Horus destroyed a monster by battle I think you know what’s next.” A drop of sweat came down the side of Ryusei’s face while Vanessa and Shinji looked really worried at the situation. “Horus LV6 says later, and now say hello to Horus The Black Flame Dragon, LV8 (3000/1800)!” Vanessa: (“Ryusei…”) “So now you cannot activate any Spells.” “My turn now Ryusei and just for fun I’ll tribute 1 Doomsday Token to summon Jinzo (2400/1500)! Now time to take control! Jinzo attack Magician’s Valkyria.” Jinzo shot out an electric pulse which caused Valkyria to explode. “Horus attack directly! With Black Mega Flame!” Horus LV8 breathed out an almighty black fireball completely covering Ryusei. “RYUSEI!” Vanessa and Shinji shouted. Ryusei fell to one knee in the aftermath of the attack. LP (1300/200) “Why did I waste my time duelling, this punk?” Hayate asked his friends. They just laughed and smiled at the comment. Despite his calmness outside Hayate’s blood was boiling inside. Hayate: (“That’s it! Crush him! You’ve got to teach this punk a lesson! Wait a minute, calm down Hayate, you have this duel covered. Just chill.”) Ryusei got up from the attack. “It’s your turn now but I don’t see the point. This duel has proven to me that you’re nothing more than a fluke. A fraud!” “No he’s not!” Shinji shouted in Ryusei’s defense “Shut up pipsqueak!” Hayate replied, even you can see that this guy is toast!” Shinji kept silent admitting that Ryusei is not himself for some reason and he won’t win like this. Ryusei was being stared down by Horus and he doubted himself. Ryusei: (“What’s wrong with me? Why am I so anxious in this duel? For some reason I feel like I have to defeat this guy no matter the cost and for what? I need to calm down but I wish I realised earlier. It’s too late to do anything now. I do believe in my Deck, but I feel that this is a stretch too far.”) FLASHBACK-One year ago RYUSEI-“Hiro?” HIRO-“That’s Uncle Hiro!” RYUSEI-“Whatever, you told me that if you believe in yourself and you’re ability you can do anything.” HIRO-“Of course.” RYUSEI-“But what if you begin to doubt yourself?” HIRO-“Then you don’t have enough faith.” RYUSEI-“What?” HIRO-“Look, when you a decision whether in duelling or in life you select each and every option carefully as it has value to you. Therefore, when you have made you’re choices you feel good as you’re instincts tell you you’ve made the right choice. Therefore you should always trust yourself to make those right choices. Ryusei: (“Hiro’s right. I chose every card in this Deck as I felt they were the right choices to make. I must have faith in my Deck to get me out of this! It took me a long time to make it so I know I’ve got something somewhere! Even if it just buys me one more turn I know I have something in there!”) Ryusei took a deep breath and exhaled. A smile then appeared in Ryusei’s face which seemed more relaxed and calm. This caused Shinji and Vanessa to smile also. “What are you smiling at?” Hayate said annoyed. “Call it new found faith. My turn!” Ryusei closed his eyes and gently placed his fingers on his Deck. Ryusei: (“I believe.”) He drew the card sharply with his eyes still closed. He opened his eyes and flipped the card over and smiled, which concerned Hayate. Ryusei: (“It’s risky but I’ll go for it!”) “I summon Jowgen the Spiritualist (200/1300) in attack mode!” “What’s a monster with 200 attack points gonna do?” Hayate asked. “First, I must randomly discard one card from my hand before I can activate its effect.” Ryusei shuffled his hand well and put the cards on top of each other. He picked the top card hoping it is the one he wants to discard. He flipped the card, it was Enemy Controller. He smiled and sent it to the Graveyard and continued. “Now I’ve done that my Jowgen’s effect allows it to destroy all Special Summoned monsters on the field!” “WHAT?!” Hayate shouted. Jowgen held his staff out which shot out rays of purple light destroying Horus LV8 and the remaining Doomsday token. “Damn you!” Hayate said angrily. “Now I can use Spells so I play Magical Dimension which releases my Jowgen to Summon Chaos Command Magician (2400/1900) in attack mode!” Hayate growled as he knew about Magical Dimension’s 2nd effect. “I’m guessing from you’re face that you know my Dimension’s ability also allows me to destroy a monster on the field.” Jinzo exploded into pieces. Hayate couldn’t believe what has happened. Vanessa and Shinji were as shocked as he was, but were happy. “Chaos Command Magician attack Hayate directly with Chaos Burning!” Chaos Command Magician twirled his short staff and fired a dark ray. It engulfed Hayate and he went down to his knees in the aftermath. LP: (0/200) Ryusei fells to his knees afterwards due to exhaustion. Vanessa and Shinji ran over to help him up. “Hayate!” Tasuku shouted as he ran over to him. He offered his hand to help him up but Hayate pushed it to one side. He got himself up and said to Ryusei, “Nicely done.” He then walked away, back towards his dorm with his crew in tow. As Ryusei and the others were leaving the field there was a man watching from a distance. He was tall, with short brown hair and light brown eyes. He was wearing a blue jacket over his red shirt, with blue denim jeans and white trainers. Man: (“Hayate, Hayate, Hayate. I expected better from you. Seems you’re slipping a little bit. But anyway this 1st year is very interesting, especially pulling a victory like that. It looks like I’ve found a worthy opponent.”) Ryusei reached his dorm room and collapsed face-first on to his bed. Shinji and Vanessa followed. “That was an awesome win Ryusei!” Shinji said happily. “It was all right I suppose.” Ryusei tiredly responded “Right now though I need to sleep. Two duels take its toll on you.” “Before I let you sleep there is something you should know.” Vanessa said in a serious tone. “Hayate is a very serious competitor, he hates losing. So it won’t be long before he comes after you seeking vengeance.” Shinji looked a bit concerned. Ryusei just rolled on to his back looking at the ceiling and said, “Let him come.” At Domino South Hayate went into his room with Tasuku behind him. “Are you sure you’re all right?” Tasuku asked. “Stop asking that, I said I’m okay like 20 times!” Hayate responded. “I know. But in all the years I’ve known you; you have never taken a loss this well.” “People change, anyway I’m gonna sleep now, I’m a little tired man.” Hayate stated. “All right cool, the others are going out tonight so I’ll see you tomorrow morning.” Tasuku headed out the door as Hayate lied in bed with his eyes closed and then many thoughts were rushing, echoing in his head. Hayate: (“YOU’RE A LOSER! A DISGRACE! HOW CAN YOU LOSE TO A NOBODY! ALWAYS A FAILURE! DISGUSTING! YOU MUST HAVE VENGEANCE!”) Hayate then suddenly opened his eyes. Preview: Ryusei, Vanessa and Shinji go to Osaka on the weekend to watch her Dad’s team play. After the match an unfortunate accident causes a heated argument between Vanessa and a group of girls.

Location: University Main Building It had just gone past midday and Tasuku was walking back to his dorm from the main building. He had a concerned look on his face for two reasons. Firstly, he and his friends have not seen Hayate since the evening after his duel with Ryusei (2 days ago). Secondly was that Hayate missed all his lectures this morning. As he reached the dorm he went straight upstairs to the top floor. He went to the end of the corridor and faced Hayate’s door. As he knocked the door it slightly moved. Realising it was open; Tasuku gently went inside and noticed what happened. The room was completely trashed. The television was smashed, lying on the floor. Most of the gadgets he had were broken or smashed. The laptop was broken, the curtains were ripped, and textbooks, clothes and drawers were on the floor. Tasuku crept around carefully, hoping he wouldn’t step on anything that would cause him injury. He then looked to his right and saw Hayate sleeping roughly in bed. Tasuku sighed and said to himself, “I guess some people never change.” He grabbed his phone and was dialling a number until Hayate said, “It’s already been taking care of.” Tasuku turned to him and noticed that he was awake and sitting up. “You really let loose this time didn’t you?” Tasuku asked. Hayate didn’t answer his question but instead continued from what he said before. “Replacements will be here in a couple of days.” Hayate then got out of bed looking a bit messy. Tasuku noticed from Hayate’s body language that he has taken this defeat pretty hard, harder than usual. So he tried to get him to talk about it. “Look, Hayate…about yesterday, it was…” “Shut up!” Hayate interrupted “I don’t want to talk about it! Or anything related to that scumbag!” Tasuku sighed, deciding to leave the subject for now. “Are you at least coming to the tutorial at 2?” “I will.” Hayate responded “And thanks…for checking up on me.” Tasuku just went out of the room without saying a word. Hayate went into the bathroom and just stared at the mirror. He turned on the tap and splashed some water on his face to refresh himself. As he raised his head he stared in the mirror again. Suddenly a flash of a red and black dragon with tri-horns on its head flew across the mirror. Hayate shook his head and looked back at the mirror. This time he just saw himself again. Chapter 6-Rumble in Osaka! Conflict with Daedalus! Location: Domino East Dorm (1 week later) Ryusei was in the cafeteria reading a book and eating a sandwich. Sitting across him was Vanessa who was staring at him with one hand on her cheek. Ryusei ignored her for a while but then it started to annoy him. He took another bite of his sandwich and said, “What do you want?” “It’s rude to talk with your mouth full.” Vanessa replied. “It’s rude to stare at people while they’re eating.” “Come on! It’s Friday today! We should do something fun today!” Ryusei swallowed his bite and replied “Got extra reading to do for Monday’s tutorial.” Vanessa groaned in frustration. “Look Ryusei, we all came here to get degrees but that doesn’t mean you have to be so anti-social! You’re all study, study, study! University is supposed to be fun as well you know!” “I’m having fun.” He replied. “I’m sure it’s been fun fighting on you’re first day, and becoming public enemy no. 1 with Domino South. How about some enjoyment without too much drama! Is that too much to ask of you Ryusei? Is it?” “All right, fine.” Ryusei closed his book, put it on the table and said bluntly “Tomorrow afternoon Gamba Osaka is playing FC Tokyo at home. Do you want to go?” This took Vanessa by surprise at first, but then a smile appeared on her face. “Now that’s what I’m talking about!” “Is that a yes then?” “Of course it is! I love watching my team play! Ask Shinji if he wants to come also. Will call you later.” Vanessa ran out of the cafeteria and out of the dorm. Ryusei just went back to his textbook and sandwich. Location: Domino Train Station It was the next day, late in the morning. The sun was shining brightly on a warm day. Ryusei was at the train station waiting for Shinji and Vanessa. He firstly looked at his watch (11:45am) and then he looked at his left and saw Shinji. Shinji waved as he walked towards Ryusei. “Hi. Have you been waiting long?” Shinji asked. “Not really, just have to wait for Vanessa now.” Ryusei replied. “Oh. She didn’t tell you?” “Tell me what?” “That’ she caught an earlier train and that she wanted to meet her Dad before the game. So she said she will meet us at the stadium.” “Fair enough” Ryusei replied. The time was 2.15pm. Ryusei and Shinji just arrived at the stadium. The place was crowded with football fans from both teams, creating a vibrant atmosphere. As the two were looking around a voice shouted, “Welcome to the Osaka Expo 70’ Stadium!” Ryusei and Shinji turned to see Vanessa wearing a Gamba Osaka football shirt (navy blue with numerous diagonal black stripes). “I see you’re already getting into this match.” Shinji said. “Well of course, they are my team after all.” “Did you get to see your Dad?” Ryusei asked. “Nah, I thought I should leave him to do his thing and will try to catch him after the match. Anyway shouldn’t we go inside? The match will start soon.” Location: Domino University Library Tasuku was on a PC looking for information for his current assignment. While doing this his mind kept on drifting to this morning. Tasuku: (“Hayate really took this defeat hard, harder than usual that is. Knowing him he will want a rematch for revenge but also knowing him, it would be more important to him to figure out a way to reassert his position as number one. However, I don’t really know how he’s gonna be able to do that.”) As Tasuku was drifting in his thoughts, a new message appeared on his University mail inbox. Tasuku opened the message. It was directed to all students, basically advertising a small duelling tournament being hold within the University. The tournament was just for fun with no serious prizes available. Tasuku studied the message and then a smile appeared on his face. Tasuku: (“Perfect.”) Location: Osaka Expo Stadium The time was after 5pm. The sky was still bright as the day was slowly creeping towards evening. With the match ending 2-1 to Gamba Osaka, Ryusei, Vanessa and Shinji were heading towards a park nearby, after the match. “Why are we hanging around here?” Shinji asked. “I already told you. My Dad is still busy with the team players, plus he takes part in the warm down. So I’m waiting until after that’s done before I see him.” Vanessa responded. As they arrived at the park Vanessa put her bag down and rustled through it. “While we are waiting, do you fancy a kick about?” She asked pulling a football from her bag. As the guys were passing the ball around a group of three girls were just walking into the park. The one in the middle seemed to be the leader of the three. She was average height with short dark blue, wavy hair. She wore a blue designer shirt and skirt, and a white leather jacket on top. All three had drinks in their hands and were chatting away. Ryusei passed the ball to Shinji. Shinji then tried to be fancy and chipped the ball to Vanessa. However he put too much height on the ball. Vanessa was back peddling to try and control the ball. The girl with blue hair noticed the ball in the air. As she looked back down, she noticed Vanessa peddling back a bit too close. As Vanessa realised the ball will go over her head she turned around, seeing he girl, unfortunately she was too late to react. She crashed into the girl and both fell to the ground. As they recovered from the crash both girls gasped at what happened. Both of them had purple stains from the blackcurrant drink the girl was carrying on their clothes. In anger they both faced each other and shouted. “THIS IS YOUR FAULT!” “You should have looked where you were going!” the girl shouted. “You noticed the ball in the air! If anything you should have got out of the way!” Vanessa replied. As tensions were rising, Ryusei and Shinji ran over to find out what’s going on. “What happened?” Shinji asked. “This bitch here didn’t look where she was going and ruined my clothes!” The girl said pointing at Vanessa. Vanessa growled at that statement and replied “You should have moved when you noticed the ball heading in your direction! Plus this shirt is brand new so hand some over!” “Hand what over?” “Hand money over! To replace the shirt!” Vanessa stated. “What?! If anything you should pay for my jacket! Not only was it your fault but this jacket alone costs 30,000 yen!” “30,000 yen?” Shinji said surprised. “And I think that outweighs the value of your shirt!” the girl continued. “There’s no way I’m paying for that! Especially since it’s your fault!” Vanessa argued. As the argument continued the other girls went over and started chatting to Ryusei and Shinji. “Is she always like this?” Shinji asked. “Mitsuko is generally argumentative. Especially when she feels she is in the right.” One of the girls said “Is you’re friend the same as well?” “You could say that.” Ryusei replied “At this rate though, this argument isn’t gonna end any time soon.” “Fine! Let’s settle this argument with a duel!” Vanessa shouted which got everyone else’s attention. “A duel?” Mitsuko asked. “That’s right! Winner has to pay the cost for the other person’s clothes!” “But why? This favours Mitsuko more!” Shinji asked. “Trust her Shinji.” Ryusei said. “So what do you say?” Vanessa asked glaring at Mitsuko. “The fact that you have challenged me is laughable enough. However I want my jacket paid for and I can spare a few minutes.” Mitsuko smirked. Vanessa got annoyed and went to her bag and grabbed her Duel Disk. Mitsuko put hers on and both players inserted their Decks and shouted “Duel!” LP: (Mitsuko-4000/Vanessa-4000) Ryusei: (“Hopefully Vanessa has changed from our last duel.”) “My turn!” Vanessa said as she drew her card. “I summon Layard the Liberator (1400/1500) in defense mode! I play a card face-down and end my turn.” “Great opening move!” Mitsuko said sarcastically. She drew her card and said, “I discard Warrior of Atlantis (1900/1200) from my hand to the Graveyard to get ‘A Legendary Ocean’ to my hand and then I will activate it.” The duel field was surrounded with deep water reaching up to each player’s waist. “Firstly this Field Spell is also treated as the name ‘Umi’” “I already know that!” Vanessa answered sharply. “Then you already know that all WATER monsters have a 200 increase in ATK and DEF and that they’re levels are downgraded by one.” “So…” “So now I can summon Giga Gagagigo (2450/1500) without a release and have it boosted to 2650! My monster will attack your Layard!” Mitsuko announced. “Don’t think so, thanks to my Negate Attack, which stops your attack and end the Battle phase!” “Whatever, I end my turn.” Vanessa declared her turn. “I summon Radiant Jeral (1000/2000) in defense mode and end my turn.” “That’s all. You really do suck don’t you?” Mitsuko sneered. Vanessa was clearly angry by that statement but kept her focus for this turn. “I summon Mermaid Knight (1500/700) in attack mode and her points go up by 200 (1700/900). Also my Knight can attack twice while ‘Umi’ is on the field.” Vanessa look concerned as instead of being protected, she is going to lose Life Points. “Giga Gagagigo will attack Radiant Jeral!” Jeral was instantly overwhelmed by Giga’s power. “Then Mermaid Knight will attack your Layard!” The mermaid swam underwater towards Layard and dived up slashing Layard in half. She then dived forward and slashed Vanessa who flinched. LP (4000/2300) “End turn.” Mitsuko said smiling. “This is bad!” Shinji stated. “The duel is far from over Shinji.” Ryusei replied “Have faith in Vanessa. I believe she knows what she is doing.” Shinji sighed and turned his attention back to the duel where Vanessa has just drawn her card. “Perfect.” She said quietly. “I remove from play my Layard and Jeral so I can summon my Soul of Purity and Light (2000/1700)!” a young man appeared, who seemed to be carrying a blonde woman on his back with wings. “Still not strong enough.” Mitsuko sneered. “I know but I also activate, my Cestus of Dagla Equip Spell. This increases my Soul’s ATK by 500 points (2500/1700)! Soul of Purity and Light, attack Mermaid Knight!” Mitsuko flinched from the destruction of her monster. LP (3200/3100) “Why did you’re Life Points go up?!” Mitsuko asked angrily. “Simple. My Cestus has another effect where my Life Points go up equal to the damage I deal.” Vanessa smiled. “Anyway I end my turn.” Mitsuko was cross with herself with letting Vanessa take Life Points of her. Due to this, she rushed through her move without thinking. “I draw! Giga, crush that Light monster!” Giga went to attack but Mitsuko noticed very late that her monster’s attack had decreased to 2350. “What happened?” “That’s my Soul’s doing there.” Vanessa replied. “When my opponent conducts they’re Battle Phase, my Soul cuts all they’re monsters attack by 300.” LP (3050/3250) “She’s winning now!” Shinji said excitedly. Ryusei and the other girls was unmoved by the situation. They knew that there’s still a while to go. “I play 2 face-downs and end my turn.” Mitsuko muttered. “My turn then.” Vanessa said in a cocky fashion. Thinking she has the duel in the bag. “I will play…Harvest, the Angel of Wisdom (1800/1200) in attack mode! Unfortunately for you it’s game over. Soul, attack her directly!” As Vanessa’s monster moved to attack, Mitsuko smiled. “I activate Tornado Wall!” a mini tornado appeared blowing Soul back to Vanessa’s field. “As long as ‘Umi’ is on the field this Trap lets me take no battle damage.” Vanessa growled at the situation. “I end my t…” “During your End Phase I activate my face-down Reload.” Mitsuko interrupted. “This lets me add my entire hand to my Deck, shuffle and draw the same cards.” Mitsuko added three cards, shuffled and drew three cards. She smiled as she drew Star Boy, Big Wave Small Wave and Levia. “Time to take control!” Mitsuko said as she drew Terraforming. “Firstly I’ll summon Star Boy (550/500) in attack mode.” “Why?” Vanessa questioned. “Despite its effect of a 500 point power up, and your Field Spell, it’s still too weak to pose a threat (Star Boy-1250/700).” “I know, but amateurs like you don’t see the bigger picture, so I now play Big Wave Small Wave. Basically I destroy all WATER monsters I control to Special Summon the same number of WATER monsters from my hand.” A small tidal wave came from the ocean destroying Star Boy. “I now Special Summon Levia-Dragon – Daedalus (2600/1500)!” A large tidal wave came and when it broke it revealed a large, blue dragon-like serpent. “Great!” Vanessa said sarcastically. “I’m guessing from your response you know its effect. By sending ‘Umi’ to the Graveyard I can destroy all cards on the field except itself!” Levia took a deep breath and fired a huge gush of water which washed away the entire field. “Levia, attack her directly!” Levia repeated the same attack engulfing Vanessa, dropping her to her knees. “Vanessa!” Shinji shouted in concern. LP (3050/650) “I now play Terraforming which adds a Field Spell to my hand and I will now activate A Legendary Ocean!” “Again?” Vanessa asked. “Levia now gets a 200 point boost (2800/1700). End turn.” Vanessa got up very slowly with her head looking downwards. “What’s the matter? You wanna quit and run away?” Mitsuko sneered. “Ha! Is that all you got! To be honest I expected something a bit better than that!” Mitsuko growled at that statement. “As for that ugly thing, I’m sorry but I’m taking it down!” Vanessa said pointing at Levia. Ryusei smiled slightly from that last statement while Shinji had some renewed belief in Vanessa. She drew her card and saw a Spell. Vanessa: (“Hmm…This play relies on a lot of luck. It all depends on whether I am right in guessing what Mitsuko is going to do. Well, here goes nothing.”) “I play Nova Summoner (1400/800) in defense mode; set 2 cards face-down and that’s it.” “Is that all? Then this duel is finished!” Mitsuko proclaimed. “I play Pot of Greed so I draw 2 cards. Next I send my Levia to the Graveyard to Special Summon Ocean Dragon Lord – Neo-Daedalus (2900/1600)!” a larger and sleeker version of Levia appeared with 2 heads. “I was hoping you would do that and here’s why! I activate my face-down Demise of the Land! So I can activate a Field Spell when you Special Summon a monster.” “No!” Mitsuko replied, shocked from the play. “So I activate The Sanctuary In The Sky!” the field dried up and formed clouds with a bright temple appearing behind Vanessa. “Doesn’t matter. Neo-Daedalus attack Nova Summoner.” “When Nova Summoner is destroyed by battle and my Sanctuary is in play I can special summon Airknight Parshath (1900/1400)!” “That won’t make a difference. I end my turn.” “Unfortunately in your End Phase I’ll activate my other face-down, Parshath Explosion! If I have my Sanctuary out, I can release one Airknight Parshath to destroy up to 2 cards on the field.” “NO WAY!” Mitsuko screamed as Airknight turned a bright yellow before creating a huge explosion destroying Neo-Daedalus. “MY BEST MONSTER!” Mitsuko shouted. “Sorry but I have to move on!” Vanessa drew her card. “I play Pot of Greed so I can draw 2 cards; I then play Valhalla of the Fallen. This basically lets me Special Summon a Fairy from my hand if I have no monsters so…” She flipped the card to show Mitsuko who was unhappy with what she saw. “Meet Guardian Angel Joan (2800/2000)!” The girls were unhappy while Ryusei and Shinji were smiling. “Attack Mitsuko, Guardian Angel with Angel Blast!” Joan created a ball of white light and fired at Mitsuko. LP (250/650) “I end my turn.” Mitsuko couldn’t contain her anger any longer. “I’ll get you back for that, you bitch! YOU’RE ANGEL IS HISTORY!” Mitsuko drew viciously from her Deck. “I play Monster Reborn to bring back my Neo-Daedalus (2900/1600)! I then equip it with Big Bang Shot increasing its attack by 400 (3400/1600). Daedalus, crush that fairy with Deadly Ocean Surge!” LP (250/650) “I end my turn!” Mitsuko said vigorously. “What’s Vanessa gonna do? She doesn’t have a monster with more than 3400 points!” Shinji said nervously. “Then she’s done.” One of the girls said. “Have faith Shinji. Every card has the potential to bring victory in any duel.” Ryusei said answered “But…” “But nothing. If she believes she can do it then she will do it.” “Here goes!” Vanessa said as she drew. She stared at her card for a while and then finally said “I play a monster face-down and end my turn.” “You do realise that my Daedalus can inflict battle damage from the difference of ATK and DEF, but I’m not complaining. Just hand over the money for my jacket after this turn.” Mitsuko said with a wry grin on her face. “Anyway Neo Daedalus! End this duel!” Daedalus fired a high pressured water ray but Vanessa didn’t look bothered. As it hit the monster it flipped face up and a pink blob appeared with eyes and a mouth. “What the hell is that?!” “That is my good friend Marshmallon (300/500). It can’t be destroyed in battle.” “But you’re Life Points!” “Well, my Sanctuary prevents me from taking damage from battle involving Fairies. Didn’t you notice after you destroyed my Joan my Life Points didn’t change?” Mitsuko gritted her teeth in anger. “Oh yeah, one more thing I forgot to mention. If you attack Marshy while it’s face-down, you take 1000 points of damage after the battle.” “No…way.” Mitsuko whispered as she dropped to her knees. LP (0/650) “She won!” Shinji said happily. Ryusei smiled and the girls just looked away. Vanessa walked over to Mitsuko and offered her hand to help her up. “I guess I owe you for the shirt.” Mitsuko said quietly. “Don’t worry about it. I had a good time duelling so I actually forgot about it. However, I’m sorry about the jacket.” Vanessa said. “It’s okay I guess. I had a good time also despite my little anger trips.” “What was the deal with that anyway?” Vanessa asked intriguingly “I don’t mind losing now and again. It’s just happens when I feel I should be in control. When I’m not, I get more annoyed with myself and take it out on my opponent. That’s just me I’m afraid.” “Well I would like to duel you again sometime, without the anger though.” “Likewise.” Mitsuko said as the pair shook hands. “How about that? Started as enemies and ended with friendship.” Ryusei said. “I’m just glad that Kasumi didn’t get to see this.” One of the girls said. “Looks like you spoke too soon.” The other girl replied in a concerned manner. “What’s going on here?” a voice said. Everyone turned to look as it came from behind Mitsuko. It was a girl. “She’s pretty!” Shinji said in awe. Ryusei looked also in amazement of her beauty. She had a tall, slender figure with long tied black hair reaching her lower back. She was wearing a blue jacket over her white tank top and blue denim jeans. However as she opened her dark brown eyes they seemed to emit pure coldness. Shinji backed off slightly from that moment. “Kasumi!” Mitsuko said surprised. She let go of Vanessa’s hand and turned to Kasumi’s attention. “You haven’t answered my question.” She continued. “Well we had a duel after a disagreement…” Vanessa started “I wasn’t talking to you.” Kasumi interrupted. “It’s rude to interrupt people when they’re speaking!” Vanessa said in an annoyed fashion. Kasumi didn’t pay attention to her at all still looking at Mitsuko. “Looking at you two idiots I’m not even gonna bother guessing.” “Hey! You can’t just come here and say stuff like that!” Vanessa said angrily. “Don’t speak to me unless you have something worth saying.” Kasumi said looking sharply at Vanessa. Vanessa gritted her teeth in anger. “However, I will say that you lost to this weakling. Am I right?” Mitsuko nodded her head, almost ashamed by this. “Weakling?!” Vanessa shouted. Shinji manage to restrain her before she went after Kasumi. Kasumi sighed and said, “Disappointing.” And she turned and walked away. “Wait Kasumi!” Mitsuko said as she and the other girls followed her. Vanessa shook Shinji loose and shouted. “HEY! LET’S GO! YOU AND ME RIGHT NOW!” Kasumi just turned around and said “There’s no point. You wouldn’t even last 2 turns against me.” She walked off with the others. “Why you!” “Calm down Vanessa!” Shinji said struggling to restrain her. She got free but Ryusei stood in front of her. “Get out of my way Ryusei! I’m going…” “To do what? You will just charge over there, where she will reject you again. And even if she did accept you’re request you’re too angry, you won’t concentrate and will probably lose in 2 turns.” Vanessa calmed down realising he’s right. “Besides shouldn’t we go and see your Dad now?” Ryusei asked. Vanessa realised that and nodded. She took of her Duel Disk and put it in her bag with her ball and then the three walked back towards the stadium. Location: Domino South It was 11pm. Hayate was in his room, still the same mess from this morning looking through his Deck. As he was going through it flashes of the duel with Ryusei ran through his head. He got angry, knocked his cards over and put his hands on his head. Hayate: (“What’s wrong with me? I can’t get this duel out of my mind!”) Tasuku then came in the door with something behind his back. “What’s up?” Hayate said calmly “I noticed this loss has hit you hard, and I know that you always try to get even after every loss in a special way. But more importantly you would want to save this dorm’s reputation. So I have an idea.” He showed Hayate a flyer that was behind his back advertising the tournament in the University that was announced earlier. “A low-level tournament?! What the hell is wrong with you?! Why would I enter a tournament that is meant for amateurs?!” Hayate angrily said, scrunching up the paper and throwing it on the floor. “Just here me out, Hayate. If you don’t like my idea, then I’ll forget the whole thing. However, when you hear it, I think you’ll like it. Hayate sighed and offered Tasuku a chair as he sat on his bed. “So what do you have in mind?” End of Chapter Preview: Hayate announces an exclusive tournament for Duel Leaders where his status as University Champion is the grand prize. Vanessa realises this is a ploy to reassert Hayate’s position as the best. Therefore, she tries to persuade Ryusei to challenge Kazuma for Duel Leader status of Domino East to enter the tournament.

Enjoy Chapter 7! Location: Domino East It was 6pm in room 42. Ryusei was making notes on today’s lectures while Shinji was reading a textbook on Java programming. As soon as Shinji turned the page over, his phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and answered the call. “Hello?” “Have you seen the news on the intranet?” “Hey Vanessa and no I haven’t” Shinji answered. “Look now!” She said excitedly “All right, call back in a minute.” He hanged up his phone and turned on his laptop. Ryusei while continuing writing asked, “What did she want?” “Don’t know. She said there is something on our intranet that we should look at.” “Coursework maybe?” “Don’t think so. She sounded too excited about it.” As he was just about to connect to the Internet the phone rang again. Shinji answered knowing it was Vanessa. “Have you seen it yet?” She asked. “I’m getting there. Hold on a minute!” he replied. He signed on to the intranet and saw some news about a tournament that was posted nearly two weeks ago. “Is it the duel tournament you are talking about?” “No! Look above that!” Vanessa replied. Shinji noticed above it was a news item titled ‘Worthy people only!’ he clicked on the news item and it read. This is a message to all Duel Leaders. I am holding an exclusive tournament for us Duel Leaders within the University. The prize is my title as University Champion. The tournament will be held at the Kaiba Dome which has been pre-booked for 3 days, two weeks from today. If you want to take part please email or personal message Tasuku Miyamoto confirming your attendance. This tournament is for Duel Leaders ONLY. If you cannot attend then you can submit a representative if you wish. I look forward to hearing from you soon. For those who don’t fit the bill and ignored the ‘Worthy’ message to read this anyway. Tickets will be on sale shortly for the event if you wish to watch it. From Hayate Nakamura “Wow, Hayate is putting his title on the line? But why would he do that?” Shinji asked. “Don’t know, don’t care but I’m SO gonna enter!” “I don’t know…” Ryusei signalled Shinji to pass over the phone. “Vanessa.” “Ryusei, are you going to enter to?” she asked. “You’ve forgotten two important details.” “What?” “Firstly we can’t enter as it’s for Duel Leaders only. Secondly the only way you will get to go is if our Leader can’t go and chooses you to be the rep.” Vanessa was silent realising Ryusei was right after reading it again. “Later.” Ryusei hanged up the phone and passed it back to Shinji. “You know you could be in this tournament Ryusei.” Shinji said. “How do you figure that?” “Well you said it yourself; if our Leader doesn’t enter and has heard about your duels, then you never know. He may see you as a good enough rep for us.” Ryusei sighed and went back to his notes. Chapter 7-Birth of a New Leader?! It was a bright sunny morning. Ayaka was walking across a field filled with many flowers and plants, plus a few trees here and there. She was extremely happy and seemed to be dancing around absorbing the loving warmth of nature. She kneeled down to smell a lily. However, afterwards the lily started to wilt and then disintegrated. Ayaka looked confused and then stood up. As she did this, the sun became covered by dark menacing clouds and the whole field started to wilt and die out into a barren wasteland. She looked to her left and saw a city in the horizon. However, she noticed that the skyscrapers of the city were being destroyed, crumbling into pieces. A sudden gust of wind came about, and Ayaka noticed that the wind was carrying black rose petals. The petals tried in vain to restore the field and the city back to its natural beauty, but to no avail. Ayaka was feeling scared to what was happening and then she heard a voice whispering something in the wind. She couldn’t hear it clearly until she focused on it and it whispered, “The world needs to be saved…you must…embrace your destiny.” She turned around to see where the voice was coming from and she was face-to face with a purple dragon. She screamed loudly, and then gasped as she woke up. She rose slowly from her bed of cream sheets and a cream quilt with red and green flowers on it and looked to her left to see the time. It was 7.13am. Ayaka’s room was tidy with a flowery theme but simple. She had many posters of differing flowers on her wall but apart from that there was nothing extravagant about the place. She got out of bed and put on her white dressing gown. She then went to open the curtains and noticed it was raining. She was thinking about her dream but she then heard a knock on her door. Wondering who it was at this time she went over and opened the door. It was a girl, similar height to Ayaka. She had long, tied, plaited orange hair and blue eyes. She wore an orange jumper, white trousers and white shoes. “Mina? What are you doing here?” Ayaka said tiredly. Mina handed her a piece of paper with some writing on it. Ayaka went inside and picked up her glasses from her dressing mirror. She sat on her bed reading the paper as Mina walked in. “So you up for it?” Mina asked. Ayaka finished reading which turned out to be Hayate’s tournament announcement. “I’m not sure at the moment, I will think about it.” “What’s there to think about? This is a chance for us to be known as the best!” Mina said happily. Ayaka was just looking down, her mind wandering elsewhere. Mina noticed this and asked, “Are you okay?” “Hmm?” Ayaka despondently answered. She quickly reacted and said “Yeah, I’m fine, just…a little tired, I didn’t get much sleep last night due to an assignment. As for this tournament I’ll talk to you later about it, okay?” She handed back the piece of paper to Mina who took it from her. “Okay” Mina responded knowing there is more to it than that. She went out of the room and closed the door. Ayaka laid back on her bed with images of her dream flashing through her head desperately trying to figure out what it means. Location: University Main Building It was lunchtime and Ryusei, Vanessa and Shinji were having lunch with other friends in the cafeteria. “Why do the order the same thing?” Vanessa asked. Ryusei was eating King Prawn Chow Mein and replied back, “Why do you always ask so many questions?” “I don’t know…I just do, I guess it’s in my nature.” “That’s my answer to your question.” Ryusei said as he took another mouthful. “Anyway I’m looking forward to this tournament. The best duellists of this University going head-to-head. It should be great!” Shinji said. The rest of the table agreed except Vanessa. “I personally don’t think so.” “Why?” One of the guys said, “Simple. This tournament is just to boost Hayate’s ego. I think he’s just doing this to save face so if he wins he will still be known as the best. Despite his loss.” Vanessa was about to continue but then she saw someone. She caught Kasumi buying a drink at the corner of her eye and glared at her. Kasumi didn’t even notice her as she walked out. “Still thinking about that girl huh?” Ryusei asked, “No!” Vanessa answered in an angry fashion. “Anyway, as I was saying, this tournament is a farce and that in my opinion. It would only be good if Ryusei entered it.” The table were surprised with Vanessa’s comment and they all turned to Ryusei to see his response. “I can’t enter, and even if I could I don’t want to enter. I’ve got better things to do than getting involved in contests.” “Also Kazuma will take the spot in the tournament anyway.” A girl said. Vanessa had a eureka moment jumped up from her seat and shouted, “I GOT IT!” Everyone in the canteen fell silent and looked at Vanessa who laughed nervously “Ignore me, carry on”. The rest of the place went back to eating and chatting. Vanessa jumped out of the table and grabbed Ryusei’s arm. “What are you doing?” he asked. “Come on, we have to go somewhere!” she answered as she pulled him out of the table. “Go where?!” Ryusei said. “You’ll see!” Vanessa pulled Ryusei out of the cafeteria, as Shinji sighed and the rest of the table looked confused. Location: Domino Town Ryusei was riding his bike with Vanessa as a passenger. Ryusei still had no idea where they were going so Vanessa was giving directions. “Which way?” Ryusei asked as he approached a junction. “Turn right, and at the next one turn left!” Vanessa announced. Ryusei followed the instructions and after travelling on a straight road for a while Vanessa smiled. “Here we are!” Ryusei slowed down on this road which had many houses on either side of the road, some detached, some terraced and a few semi-detached. “Where are we?” “This is usually where students with private accommodation live. Convenient as its only 10 minutes by bike from the uni. Go to that house!” Vanessa said pointing at no. 112. Ryusei parked his bike on the road outside the house. The two got off the bike with their bags and quickly headed to the house as it was still raining. Vanessa knocked on the door. A guy opened the door. He was tall, with short brown hair and light brown eyes. He was wearing a blue jacket over his red t-shirt, with blue denim jeans and white trainers. “Vanessa?” he asked surprisingly, “Hi Kazuma!” she replied happily. Before she could say something Kazuma then asked. “Who’s this guy?” pointing at Ryusei. “That is my friend Ryusei. Ryusei, meet Kazuma Oguro, our Duel Leader.” “Nice to meet you.” Ryusei said smiling. He out stretched his hand which Kazuma grabbed to shake hands. “Likewise, anyway come on in.” The pair went inside the house which was of average size. The front room was average size with 2 sofas and 1 armchair around the television. A long table was in the middle of the room for serving. “Can I get you something to eat or drink?” Kazuma asked. Before Vanessa could say yes Ryusei stepped in by saying, “No thanks, we are not staying here long.” Kazuma offered them a seat on the sofa as he sat down on the armchair and said, “So what brings you here?” “It’s about the tournament that Hayate announced” Vanessa said. “Oh that, what about it?” he replied. “Are you going to enter?” “Maybe, why do you ask?” “Because if not my friend Ryusei would like to be the representative for Domino East” “He does?” Kazuma asked surprisingly. “I don’t.” Ryusei answered seriously. “Yes, he does. See in case you didn’t know Hayate lost to Ryusei a while ago.” “I know, as I watched the duel.” Both Ryusei and Vanessa both were astonished as they thought they were the only people who were involved in that duel. “You saw it?” Vanessa asked, still surprised by the revelation. “Yeah I did. It was a good duel also. I was impressed by the way you took down Horus. But knowing Hayate, he is not the kind of person to let that go.” Kazuma said. “How would you know that?” Ryusei asked. “Because we used to be best friends.” Kazuma responded. “Really?! How could you be friends with that guy?” Vanessa asked “He wasn’t always like the way he is. He used to be a good person you know. He was more chilled back then than he is these days.” “So what happened?” Kazuma paused a little thinking about how to answer the question. He then said, “People changed, and he changed quite a bit so in the end we just drifted apart…anyway you were saying.” “Right, I personally think that he’s doing this whole tournament thing to get no.1 status without facing Ryusei in a rematch, which is cowardly in my opinion so for justice to be served, Ryusei needs to enter so Hayate can prove properly whether he is better or not.” “I don’t need to enter a contest for that.” Ryusei said. “If Hayate is doing this for those reasons then that’s his business, not mine. If he’s too scared to face me, that’s also his business so it doesn’t bother me.” “What Ryusei says is very true.” Kazuma stated “If he doesn’t want to get involved then that’s the end of it.” Vanessa gritted her teeth in annoyance and then stood up saying, “Fine! Then Ryusei will challenge you to a duel to become Duel School Leader!” “What?!” Both men said. “You heard me! Ryusei should be in this tournament as it’s the right thing to do so if you won’t let him go in, I’ll make sure he forces his way in!” Kazuma just smiled and said, “I’m up for it if you are Ryusei.” Ryusei was surprised but then smiled. “Sure, why not?” Vanessa couldn’t contain her happiness “So it’s REALLY happening?!” “It looks that way.” Kazuma replied. Vanessa celebrated as her plan worked. “Tomorrow, outside the dorm at 1pm.” Kazuma stated. Ryusei nodded his head in agreement before heading out of the place with a gleeful Vanessa, despite the rain. Location: Domino North Dormitory The time was 10pm; it was a crisp, blustery evening. The dormitory is exactly the same size as Domino South and looks exactly the same inside. On the top floor Mitsuko was walking along the corridor to the end. She knocked on the last door gently. Inside the room was Kasumi sitting on her dressing mirror, brushing her hair, getting ready to go out. “Enter” she said. Mitsuko entered the room slowly. The room itself was generally blue. Blue walls, blue bed, blue lighting. Even her bathroom had blue tiles. Mitsuko walked a bit closer and said, “Umm…Kasumi?” “What do you want?” she replied coldly. Mitsuko cleared her throat to gain a little more confidence and walked up next to Kasumi saying, “You should take a look at this.” Handing her a print out of Hayate’s message. Kasumi skimmed through the message and handed back the print out. “Usually I don’t have time for silly contests for weaklings and amateurs.” She said as she got up. She put on her blue jacket and before she walked out the door she said to Mitsuko, “However, it should be interesting since it’s just us Duel Leaders, remind me to apply tomorrow in case I forget.” Location: University Main Library Ryusei was typing up some notes from a chapter in his Project Management book when an email alert appeared. He looked closer to notice the message came from Kazuma, with the subject regarding ‘Tomorrow’s Duel’. He opened it and read what was said and gave a little smile. Ryusei: (“Fair enough Kazuma, fair enough.”) Location: Domino East Dorm The time was 1pm sharp on a dry clear day. Kazuma was waiting outside the dorm. A large crowd of students were present also, some eating their lunch, anticipating today’s duel. As Ryusei arrived with Vanessa and Shinji in tow, he saw the large crowd. “What the hell are all these people doing here?” “They’re here to watch the duel of course. I guess news travels fast.” Vanessa responded. “Yeah, from your mouth.” “That was uncalled for!” Ryusei walked towards Kazuma while Vanessa and Shinji walked to the front of the crowd. “You ready?” Kazuma asked Ryusei. “You bet.” They walked past each other until there was enough space. They inserted their Decks to their Duel Disks and activated them, while both players shouted “Duel!” LP (Kazuma-4000/Ryusei-4000) “First move to the challenger.” Kazuma said. Ryusei drew his card and examined his hand. “I summon Maiden of Macabre (1700/0) in attack mode! I’ll then play a face-down and end my turn.” “What kind of Deck does Kazuma use anyway?” Shinji asked. “You’ll see” Vanessa answered. “My turn then” Kazuma said. He drew his card calmly and liked the look of his hand. “I will first play Polymerization, fusing Elemental Heroes Burstinatrix and Clayman to form Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster (2000/2500) in defense mode.” A black haired woman in red uniform and a large boulder-looking monster swirled together in a vortex. Then a large clay type monster appeared with a shield on its left arm and a missile launcher as its right arm. “Elemental Heroes?!” Shinji said in shock. Vanessa nodded answering Shinji’s question. Ryusei looked unconcerned but Shinji knew about Rampart Blaster’s effect. “Rampart Blaster, attack Ryusei directly.” Kazuma said calmly “What?!” Ryusei exclaimed. “For those who don’t know, when my Blaster is in defense mode, by cutting it’s ATK in half I can hit you directly.” Ryusei gritted his teeth as he was trapped. “Go Rampart Barrage!” the Hero fired multiple missiles which slipped past Macabre and exploded in front of Ryusei. LP (4000/3000) “Your turn.” The crowd applauded the last move by Kazuma. Ryusei: (“A monster that hits directly and has 2500 defense is hard to take down. I shouldn’t be surprised because it seems that’s how Duel Leaders are.”) “My turn. I activate my face-down Enemy Controller to shift your Rampart Blaster to attack mode. Then I summon Defense Wizard (400/1700) in defense mode.” An old, short, chubby magician with a long white beard appeared in a dark blue magician uniform and cape. “I then play the Spell, Spellcaster’s Aid. This allows me to select one Spellcaster monster and reduce it’s ATK to 0. I can then add those points to another Monster until the end of this turn.” The Wizard’s ATK dropped to 0 while Maiden increased by 400 (2100/0). “Maiden attacks Rampart Blaster!” LP (3900/3000) “My Maiden gets a Spell Counter for destroying a monster, therefore increasing its strength by 200 (2300/0). I play a card face-down and end my turn and in my End Phase, my Spell forces me to destroy one of the selected monsters so I destroy Defense Wizard.” (Maiden of Macabre 1900/0). “Not a bad move at all!” Vanessa said, pleased with Ryusei’s comeback. “Not bad Ryusei.” Kazuma said smiling as he drew his card. “I play Monster Reincarnation so I can discard a card (E Hero Sparkman) to return Burstinatrix to my hand. I then play the Spell, Miracle Fusion.” “This isn’t good.” Vanessa said quietly. “Now I can remove from play Hero monsters on my field or in my Graveyard that are materials for an Elemental Hero Fusion Monster and Special Summon that Fusion Monster.” “Great.” Ryusei said sarcastically. “So Sparkman and Clayman are removed from play to summon Elemental Hero Thunder Giant (2400/1500). Thunder Giant, attack Ryusei’s Maiden!” “Go Trap Card, Mirror Force! This Trap activates when you declare an attack and allows me to destroy all monsters in attack mode on your side!” “Hmm…I play a face-down monster and end my turn.” Kazuma said, not bothered about losing his monster. Ryusei: (“Okay! It seems Elemental Heroes are heavily Fusion based which burns the hand easily. Therefore, his face-down has to be Morphing Jar to replenish his hand. In that case!”) Ryusei drew his card and announced “I play a card face-down and then summon Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer (1800/700) in attack mode!” “Nicely done. Kycoo prevents players from removing monsters from play!” Shinji said. “So Kazuma can’t play Miracle Fusion anymore!” Vanessa said excitedly. “Maiden of Macabre will attack your face-down!” When Ryusei’s Maiden attacked, the monster flipped up which, was a metallic orb with a blue circular window as an eye. “Crap! It’s Cyber Jar!” “Yep. So all monsters are destroyed.” Kazuma said. All the monsters on the field exploded one by one. “Then we both pick up five cards, show them to each other and Special Summon all Level 4’s face-up or face-down.” Ryusei picked up his five cards and showed them (Cybernetic Magician, Magician’s Valkyria, Spell Book of Power, Monster Reborn, and Double Spell). “I summon Magician’s Valkyria (1600/1800) in face-down defense!” Kazuma picked up his five cards and revealed them (E Hero Avian, Fusion Recovery, Polymerization, E Hero Bubbleman and Skyscraper) “I summon Avian (1000/1000) and Bubbleman (800/1200) in attack mode!” “I play a card face-down and end my turn.” Ryusei said. “My turn then and I play Polymerization fusing Avian, Bubbleman and King of the Swamp as a substitute for Sparkman to form Elemental Hero Tempest (2800/2800)!” The crowd were in awe of the monster that was just summoned; Ryusei however, wasn’t bothered as usual. “Tempest will attack your face-down Valkyria.” Tempest shot a blue energy ray from his gun which destroyed Valkyria. “I end my turn.” “My turn!” Ryusei drew his card and glanced at it. “I play Monster Reborn on Magician Valkyria and release it to summon Cybernetic Magician (2400/1000)! I then discard a card (Double Spell) to limit your Tempest’s ATK to 2000!” Cybernetic Magician shot a blast of light at Tempest cutting its ATK. “Next I play my Trap, Spell Book of Power! I remove Spellcaster’s Aid and Enemy Controller from play to increase my Mage’s attack by 1000!” (Cybernetic Magician-3400/1000) “Yes!” Shinji cheered. “Cybernetic Magician, attack Tempest with Light Cyber Blast!” LP (2500/3000) “I end my turn.” Kazuma drew his card and smiled. “It’s been fun Ryusei, you have some good skills but unfortunately for you I’m ending this duel on this turn! I play Heavy Storm which destroys all Spells and Traps on the field!” Ryusei was unconcerned despite his face-down being destroyed but he was wary of what Kazuma was up to. “I play Fusion Recovery which allows me to add 1 Polymerization and a Monster that was used for a Fusion Summon like Elemental Hero Avian from my Graveyard.” “Then I’ll activate Polymerization, fusing Avian and Burstinatrix to create Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (2100/1200)!” “Nice monster but still too weak.” Vanessa said. “Not after I play the Field Spell, Skyscraper!” Tall large buildings appeared on the field which didn’t bother Ryusei. “When an Elemental Hero attacks a monster stronger than itself, Skyscraper gives it a 1000 point boost.” “So Flame Wingman will have 3100!” Shinji said astonished. Ryusei was unmoved from the news. “It seems you like to play it cool Ryusei so maybe you want to think about this next bit of news. When Flame Wingman destroys a monster by battle, it inflicts damage equal to the attack of the destroyed monster.” Ryusei was taken aback from the statement, realising that Kazuma was right in about winning on this turn. “Flame Wingman attack, Cybernetic Magician!” Flame Wingman flew towards Cybernetic Magician but before it attacked, he flew up high into the air above the skyscrapers. Ryusei looked up, very tense at the situation as Wingman gained its 1000 ATK points (3100/1200). “Go Sky Dive Scorcher!” Flame Wingman dived downwards and turned flaming red. “RYUSEI!” Vanessa and Shinji shouted. Ryusei looked straight in Wingman’s eyes and braced for the attack. To be continued. ORIGINAL CARDS Spellcaster’s Aid Normal Spell Select 1 face-up Spellcaster-Type Monster you control. Reduce its ATK to 0 and add the ATK points to another Monster on your side of the field. Destroy one of the selected monsters during the End Phase of this turn. Spell Book of Power Normal Trap Activate only during the Main Phase of a turn. Remove from play 2 Spell cards form your Graveyard to increase the ATK of one monster on your side of the field by 1000.a |

“Flame Wingman, attack Cybernetic Magician!” Flame Wingman flew towards Cybernetic Magician but before it attacked, he flew up into the air above the skyscrapers. Ryusei looked up, very tense at the situation as Wingman gained its 1000 ATK points from Skyscraper (3100/1200). “Go Sky Dive Scorcher!” Flame Wingman dived downwards and turned flaming red. “RYUSEI!” Vanessa and Shinji shouted. Ryusei looked straight in Wingman’s eyes and braced for the attack. Flame Wingman clashed with Cybernetic Magician causing a huge explosion. A large smoke cloud appeared covering everything on Ryusei’s side of the field. Kazuma smiled and said “Now you have to take damage equal to you’re Magician’s attack!” Flame Wingman prepared to fire a shot at Ryusei but as the smoke cleared, Cybernetic Magician was still on the field. The audience was impressed by how Ryusei manage to escape Kazuma’s attack. Kazuma looked at Ryusei, waiting for an explanation. “I didn’t really want to use it but I had no choice.” Ryusei said. “What do you mean?” Kazuma asked. Ryusei went to his Deck pouch and pulled out a card to show to Kazuma, it was Defense Wizard (400/1700). “See this card? When it’s in my Graveyard I can remove it from play to prevent a Spellcaster from being destroyed by battle. However I still take damage from the attack.” LP (2500/2300) “Nicely done” Kazuma said. Vanessa and Shinji both breathed a huge sigh of relief. Ryusei put the card back in his pouch and continued. “I must admit, that was a pretty swift move you pulled on me. However I don’t buckle that easy. There is still a long way to go in this duel and I plan on giving my all to the end!” “I wouldn’t have it any other way. I end my turn.” Ryusei put his fingers on his deck and drew his card. “My turn!” Chapter 8-Birth of a New Leader?! Part 2 “I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior (1600/1000) in attack mode! When he’s summoned he gains a Spell Counter increasing its attack by 300 points (Breaker-1900/1000)! Next I discard my Apprentice Magician to limit your Wingman’s attack to 2000, courtesy of Cybernetic Magician!” The crowd cheered the move by Ryusei. “Cybernetic Magician, attack Flame Wingman (2000/1200!)” The Magician fired a blast of white light which engulfed Flame Wingman, shattering it to pieces. LP (2100/2300) “Breaker will now attack directly!” Kazuma flinched from the attack but kept his balance from falling over. (200/2300) “Finally I’ll use Breaker’s effect to remove its Spell Counter to destroy a Spell or Trap on the field like Skyscraper!” the crowd cheered Ryusei’s excellent move. “I end my turn.” “All right! Ryusei!” Shinji yelled. “Good job!” Vanessa cheered. As the crowd continued cheering Kazuma was just about to start his turn. “I thought you guys were on my side!” He joked. “Anyway I play Fifth Hope. By returning 5 Heroes from my Graveyard to the Deck I can shuffle and draw 2 cards. However, since it’s the only card on my hand and field I can draw another on top.” Avian, Bubbleman, Tempest, Thunder Giant and Rampart Blaster returned to the Deck and Extra Deck respectively. Kazuma shuffled and drew his 3 cards. “I summon Elemental Hero Stratos (1800/300) in defense mode. When he’s summoned I can add a Hero from my Deck to my hand like Necroshade (1600/1800). I play two cards face-down and end my turn.” Ryusei: (“He must have a lot of faith to keep using up his hand. But anyway...”) Ryusei drew his card on his turn and moved straight onto the Battle Phase. “Breaker will attack your Stratos!” As Breaker slashed Stratos in half, Kazuma smiled. “I activate Hero Signal so I get to summon a Hero from my Deck when you destroy one of my monsters like Bubbleman (800/1200) in defense!” “Cybernetic Magician attack Bubbleman!” As Bubbleman was destroyed Kazuma shook his head in disappointment. “You should really be careful Ryusei because you never know what trap you’re going to fall into.” He said as he activated his Trap. “That’s Hero Counterattack!” Shinji exclaimed. “This Trap can activate when you take out a Hero by battle. You select a random card and if it’s a Hero I get to destroy a monster of yours and then summon it. But since I’m only holding one card you have to choose it.” Kazuma revealed Elemental Hero Necroshade. Ryusei: (“Clever play.”) “So I’ll destroy your Cybernetic Magician and summon Necroshade (1600/1800) in attack mode!” “I end my turn.” Ryusei muttered. “Good.” Kazuma said as he drew his card. “Necroshade will attack Breaker!” Ryusei was surprised by Kazuma’s command but Shinji and Vanessa were not, already figuring out what Kazuma was up to. The two monsters destroyed each other and Kazuma revealed his plan. “Now since Necroshade is in the Graveyard its effect allows me to summon a Hero without a release for one time only.” “Crap.” Ryusei muttered. Kazuma smiled at the response, “Anyway, come out Elemental Hero Bladedge (2600/1800)!” A gold bull headed, muscle-bound monster appeared. “Your turn Ryusei.” Ryusei drew his card and hoped for the best. “I summon Apprentice Magician (400/800) in defense mode and end my turn.” “Fair enough. I draw and have Bladedge attack your monster.” Bladedge charged forward and slashed Apprentice Magician with his arm. (LP: 200/500) “Great. Battle difference.” Ryusei said sarcastically. “You’re catching on.” “Well my Apprentice Magician allows me to special summon a Level 2 Spellcaster from my Deck to the field in face-down defense, so I choose Old Vindictive Magician (450/600)!” Kazuma growled a little knowing about Old Vindictive’s effect. “I play a card face-down and end my turn.” “My turn then!” Ryusei declared. Vanessa: (“If things go right, Ryusei can win this turn and take the lead in this match!”) “I flip my Old Vindictive Magician to attack mode, thus triggering its effect. It destroys a monster on your side of the field!” The mage twirled its staff and fired a purple shot causing Bladedge to explode. Kazuma still remained calm about the situation. “Old Vindictive Magician attack Kazuma directly!” Vanessa and Shinji were looking in amazement of Ryusei’s victory while the crowd was in awe of the duel coming to an end. “Sorry Ryusei but I activate Hero Blast!” “Hero Blast?” “It’s a handy Trap which allows me to add a Normal Elemental Hero from my Graveyard to my hand like Burstinatrix, and as a bonus, I can destroy a monster that has equal or less ATK than Burstinatrix.” Old Vindictive shattered. “I set a monster face-down and end my turn.” “Draw. I summon Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (1200/800) and it will attack your face-down monster!” The monster flipped was Crystal Seer (100/100). “When Crystal Seer is flipped I can pick up two cards from my Deck and add one to my hand and return one to the bottom of my Deck.” The two cards were Jowgen the Spiritualist and Magical Marionette. Ryusei added Marionette to his hand and put Jowgen to the bottom. “I set a card and end my turn.” “This duel has been so awesome!” Vanessa said gleefully. “You’re right! It’s been non-stop action! I just hope Ryusei can keep on battling to win.” Shinji replied. Location: Domino South Dorm Hayate was in his room with Tasuku. The room was back in its clean state. All the replacement items were present with the room looking like it was never damaged. Tasuku was on his laptop working away when he received an email. It was sent from Kasumi Fujia. Tasuku opened it and the message was entailing her acceptance of the invitation. “Okay. Kasumi is in too.” Hayate got up from his bed to read the email himself and asked, “What’s the status of everybody?” “Well, almost everybody is in. Kasumi, Yuji and Ayaka have accepted their invitations. All is left is Kazuma.” “Typical.” Hayate responded. “You want me to send him a reminder?” “No, leave it to me. It’s been a while since I’ve seen him anyway.” Location: Domino East Dorm The duel continued and it was Ryusei’s turn. “I summon the Unhappy Maiden (0/100) in defense mode and end my turn.” “Is that it? I expected better Ryusei.” Kazuma said as he drew his card. “I summon Elemental Hero Wildheart (1500/1600) in attack mode. Sorry Ryusei but this duel is over. Wildheart, attack his Maiden!” As the maiden was destroyed Kazuma was about to declare an attack with Burstinatrix but noticed something strange. “That weird feeling you have, that’s your Battle Phase ending courtesy of my Maiden.” Ryusei proclaimed. “Hmm…I shift Burstinatrix to defense mode and end my turn.” “My turn.” He smiled at what he saw. “I summon my Magician’s Valkyria (1600/1800) in attack mode. Magician’s Valkyria will take out your Wildheart!” LP: (100/500) Ryusei: (“His face-down didn't destroy my monster or stop my attack. In that case!”) Ryusei then looked at Magical Dimension and Magical Marionette in his hand. “I now play Magical Dimension! By releasing a Spellcaster monster I can Special Summon a Spellcaster from my hand and then destroy a monster on the field. So I release Valkyria to summon Magical Marionette (2000/1000) and take out you’re Burstinatrix!” Ryusei: (“Hopefully this should be it.”) “Since its still his Battle Phase Ryusei can now attack with Marionette!” Vanessa said in celebration. “Magical Marionette attack Kazuma directly!” Ryusei declared. Marionette sent her puppet forward, which was holding two knives. It went and slashed Kazuma twice but he had no reaction. LP (100/500) “What happened?” Shinji asked, completely lost at the situation. Ryusei looked and saw Kazuma had activated a Trap card. “Took you long enough to notice my Hero Spirit Trap. When a Hero is destroyed by battle I can reduce one monster’s Battle Damage to 0 in the same turn.” Kazuma explained. “When Valkyria destroyed Wildheart.” “Correct.” “I end my turn.” “My turn then.” Kazuma looked at his card for a moment. “Ryusei, I must thank you for an excellent duel. It’s been a while since I’ve been pushed to my limits. You are a very good duelist.” “Same thing goes for you.” “However, unfortunately for you, you’re skills hasn’t been good enough to win today.” “You said something like that earlier and look what happened.” “True, but this time there is nothing you can do to stop this. I activate Miracle Fusion! This time I will remove from play my Flame Wingman and my King of the Swamp as a substitute for Sparkman to summon my favourite monster!” A new armoured plated warrior appeared emitting a very bright light from its body. “Whoa…” Vanessa said quietly in awe. The crowd was amazed at the new monster that was summoned. “Ryusei, meet Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman (2500/2100)!” “That’s a nice monster, but since you played a Spell my Marionette gets a Counter and 200 extra points (2200/1000) so victory won’t be happening this turn.” “You would think that but my Wingman has a very unique effect. For every Elemental Hero in my graveyard it gets 300 extra ATK.” “Wait, what?” “So since I have six Heroes in my Graveyard my Wingman gets 1800 more ATK points (4300/2100). Shining Flare Wingman, attack Ryusei’s Marionette with Solar Flare!” Wingman created a luminous green flame in his hands and threw it at Marionette instantly destroying it. LP (100/0) The crowd applauded as thanks to a fantastic duel. Both players deactivated their Duel Disks and walked to shake hands. “Great duel Ryusei.” Kazuma said. “Likewise.” Ryusei responded. This action then caused a small amount of confusion with the crowd. “What happened to the match?” someone shouted. “What match?” Kazuma responded. “We heard this is a match duel to become Duel Leader.” “First time I’ve heard of that. I just wanted to duel Ryusei to test his skills. There were no plans of a Duel Leader match. Someone’s been pulling your leg. Unless you knew about this Ryusei?” The crowd eagerly anticipated Ryusei's answer. “No. I heard he was the best so I wanted to see how I rate with the best. Where did you hear this from?” This caused some commotion as the crowd was then looking for Vanessa. That was when Shinji then noticed that Vanessa disappeared from the crowd, and couldn’t be found. Kazuma and Ryusei just smiled at each other as the crowd dissipated in disappointment. “Vanessa is not going to be too happy with us selling her out like that.” Ryusei said. “Well she should learn not to get involved with everything. Some things need to be left alone with the people in question.” Kazuma replied. “Anyway Kazuma, I was thinking that you should enter the tournament.” “Why?” “Well why not? It’s just a few duels. Plus with what I’ve been hearing about reputations of dorms and all that it would be nice for Domino East to lose the tag it has right now. If you don’t do great, it stays the same so you don’t really lose anything.” “Don’t you want to enter? It’s an opportunity to face Hayate again.” “I couldn’t care less if I never duel him again. Plus I think you’re the better person to represent us in this. After all you are the Duel Leader.” “True. Though I prefer ‘Unofficial Duel Leader.’” “Anyway I’m gonna head back to the dorm so see you around.” The pair shook hands again. As Ryusei walked towards the dorm, Kazuma walked towards the main building. Location: University Car Park Kazuma was walking to his car (blue convertible) and he was about to get in to go home and then he heard a voice he recognised saying. “I was just about to swing by you’re place.” Kazuma turned to see it was Hayate on his black Kawasaki motorbike. “But since you’re here, you’ve saved me a journey.” “Can I help you with something?” Kazuma asked sternly. Hayate got off his bike and walked up to Kazuma. “I was wondering whether you are entering my tournament, that’s all.” “I’m thinking about it.” “What’s there to think about? This is a chance for you to become a legend here.” “I’m a realist Hayate, for the years we’ve known each other you should know that. So I think you’re claims are a little over exaggerated.” “How can I forget? Kazuma the realist!” Hayate said sarcastically. “That has always been your problem. You don’t take chances, everything has to be played safe with you, you analyse too much. You assume you have no chance because you know the strength of the other Duel Leaders despite the fact that anything can happen!” Kazuma just stared at Hayate sternly as he continued. “My father told me that risks bring great rewards, maybe you should learn from that.” “What you say about me may be true, but what about you?” “What about me?” “This tournament may be a fancy way to determine the best duelist here, but we both know this is a farce.” “What are you talking about?!” “You’re problem is that you cannot accept the fact that no matter how good you are at something, there may be somebody who is better than you! That’s why you are doing this event. You don’t want the people to think that Ryusei, a 1st year from Domino East is better than the Duel Leader of Domino South!” “That’s bulls***!” “You know it’s true! If it bothers you so much why don’t you do the simple thing and have a rematch?” “I’m the University Champion! I’m the best duelist here! Why should I have a rematch with scum like him?!” “I know why, you’re too scared.” “What the hell did you just say?!” “You heard me! You’re scared in case Ryusei’s win wasn’t a fluke and he beats you again! So instead of facing him head-on you’re doing all this crap!” “I’m not doing this for myself! All this crap is for the students! When something happens you need to do something to restore faith to the public!” “Another thing you’re Dad taught you?” Kazuma said sarcastically. “Yeah it was actually, and it’s that kind of advice that will make me a success and people like you will stay a failure!” Kazuma looked furiously at Hayate as he turned and walked away and got on his bike. “Up to you if you enter the tournament or not. I don’t honestly care. But if you do enter I would really like you to make it to the final so I can humiliate you in front of the whole university. But as you said yourself, you’re a realist so it will probably not happen.” Hayate put his helmet on and started his bike, he prepared to ride off but Kazuma had something to say. “There is still one question I want to ask?” “What?” “What happened? I mean, what happened to us?” Hayate kept silent looking away. An image of a pretty girl flashed in his eyes. She was average height and had long wavy dark brown hair reaching her lower back. She had innocent brown eyes and was wearing a purple jumper and brown jeans. Hayate broke the silence and said. “18, 11, 06.” He rode off on to the main road and out of the University. Kazuma was thinking about the numbers, confused at what Hayate said. Kazuma: (“November 18th 2006. What’s the deal with that? We were back in high school then and were best friends also. But I can’t remember anything that happened that caused us to fall out. If anything it’s his Dad that caused it. But for me to know for sure I really have to check things out to find the answer. In the meantime, Hayate, you’ve got to learn to face things head-on. You’ll thank me for this.”) Kazuma got in his car, started the engine and drove out of the University. He reached the junction and slowly turned right at the junction to head back to his place. Location: Domino East Dorm It was early evening. Around about 6pm. Ryusei and Shinji were in their room just chilling when they heard a knock on the door. Since Ryusei didn’t move from his chair Shinji got up from his bed to answer it. As he opened the door he saw Vanessa standing outside. “I see the crowd didn’t get to you then.” Shinji joked. In response, Vanessa slapped the back of Shinji’s head. “Not funny!” she answered back while Shinji rubbed the back of his head. As she walked into the room Ryusei noticed Vanessa entering the room. “Hey Va…” Vanessa slapped him on the back of his head before Ryusei could finish his sentence. “What was that for?” Ryusei asked whilst rubbing his head. “That’s for selling me down the river!” Vanessa said loudly. “What do you mean?” “You know what I mean!” “If you’re talking about the match Duel with Kazuma it was your own fault.” “How is it my fault?!” “Look Vanessa, I know you had good intentions and what you did earlier was thoughtful. Not many people would do that for their friends.” Vanessa calmed down after hearing this. “I feel a ‘but’ coming though.” “But this thing with Hayate is my problem to deal with, not yours. What he’s doing may seem unfair but it doesn’t bother me so I choose it ignore it and him. That’s my choice and hopefully you’ll accept that decision.” Vanessa sighed in acceptance of Ryusei’s statement. “Okay, I do. But I still think you’re wrong though.” She said stubbornly. Ryusei just smiled and then the guys heard a little beep. “It came from your PDA Ryusei.” Shinji said. As Ryusei picked it up he noticed he had 2 email messages, both from Kazuma. The first one had the subject “READ FIRST!” and the second one “University Tournament”. Ryusei clicked on the first one and the message read. After thinking about it I realised that you’re the man. Enjoy! “What the hell?” Ryusei said. “What does that even mean?” Shinji asked. “Go to the other message!” an agitated Vanessa said. As Ryusei clicked on the second message (University Tournament) the three of them read silently and when they finished they all shouted in unison “WHAAAAT?!” Location: Domino South Dorm Tasuku was still in Hayate’s room working on his laptop. A few seconds later Hayate walked into the room with some food, their dinner for the evening. Tasuku then got an email alert. He went to check his email and got a message from Kazuma with the subject “University Tournament”. “Finally got an email form Kazuma” Tasuku said. “Hmm. Decided to enter has he? Looking forward to it.” Hayate smirked. As Tasuku opened the message he lost his smile. “What the hell?!” Tasuku said loudly. Hayate went over to his laptop to read the message himself. After reading this Hayate clenched his fist in anger and punched his desk shouting. “Kazuma! You son of a bitch!” On the laptop screen Kazuma’s email read. Hayate I am writing to let you know that I cannot make the tournament this time around. I got a call from my Dad and he needs an extra pair of hands for some big party his restaurant has been booked for in a few weeks. So I have to go to Sapporo in a couple of weeks to help out (obviously the tourney is at the same time). Anyway for me not to be a nuisance and disturb the format of this tournament I’ve decided to take your offer of naming a representative for Domino East to take my place. I think you will agree that he is suitable. Anyway take care man. Kazuma Representative Details Student No: 05628392 Student Name: Ryusei Fujiwara End of chapter Preview: Hayate is clearly unhappy of Ryusei’s entry to the tournament. So Tasuku, behind Hayate’s back challenges Ryusei to a duel with his place in the tournament on the line. Ryusei declines as he has coursework due for the next day. Seeing this as an opportunity to pay him back for what he did on the first day Shinji duels against Tasuku in Ryusei’s place. Chapter 9-Returning The Favour, Shinji’s Thanks! (title tbc) ORIGINAL CARDS Defense Wizard DARK/Spellcaster/3/400/1700 During damage calculation, you can remove from play this card from your Graveyard to prevent a Spellcaster-Type monster you control from being destroyed by this battle.

Enjoy Chapter 9! Location: Domino University Main Library It was mid-afternoon on a dry blustery day. Inside the Main Library on the top floor of the 3-floor library was Tasuku. He was printing out flyers advertising the upcoming tournament. His mind wandered as flyer, after flyer, after flyer came out of the printer. Eventually someone grabbed one from the printer. Tasuku focused to see who it was and it turned out to be Yuri. “Hmm…” he said to himself as he read the flyer from top to bottom. “Looks good, all the important information is there and it’s nicely presented. Not sure about the colour scheme though so will only give it a seven out of ten.” “What do you want?” Tasuku asked sternly, snatching the flyer back from Yuri. “Nothing man! Just doing my own thing now, but more importantly, how’s Hai doing?” “Why are you asking?” “Well I imagine he would be pretty pissed that Ryusei is in his great tournament.” Hearing that name Ryusei made Tasuku’s blood boil. His face turned into a very serious look as he started crushing the flyer he took form Yuri. “So it is true.” Yuri said intriguingly. “Unfortunately it is” Tasuku replied in a low tone “But how did you know that? It wasn’t supposed to be revealed so we can find a way to sort it out.” “Seems to be the talk going around these days, It’s hard to keep secrets in this uni.” Hayate joked. Tasuku however, wasn’t in a laughing mood. “Anyway from what you just said I’m assuming you’re gonna do something about it?” “I’m gonna find a way to remove him from the event.” “Really? Why?” “Because Hai said himself that he would rather take the final place in the early rounds instead of that scumbag being there.” “Huh. Well all the best with that, I’m out of here.” “Wait a minute!” Tasuku called out as Yuri started walking away, earning himself a call of silence from nearby students. Yuri turned round and said, “Look man, I’m not part of your little group anymore so it’s not my problem. Catch you later.” As Yuri continued walking away, Tasuku sighed at the situation. Yuri then stopped and said, “However if I was still there, I would suggest you should look closer to home as to how this information got out so quickly.” He continued to walk and left the library. As Tasuku collected the last flyer from the printer he stared at it, thinking whether Yuri means what he thinks he means. Chapter 9-Returning the Favour, Shinji’s Thanks. Location: Domino East Dorm, Room 42 It was early afternoon the next day, with the winds not easing off from the previous day. Ryusei was sitting at his desk, working on a diagram of sorts. Shinji was revising for an in-class test at his desk and Vanessa was working on her own assignment on the floor. Ryusei thought he finished the diagram, but after he looked over it he realised he made a mistake, which led onto other mistakes. Therefore, he scrunched up the paper and threw it in the bin. “That’s like the 6th time you’ve done that! What are you doing that’s so difficult?” Vanessa asked. “Data flow diagrams.” Ryusei answered. “That doesn’t sound too difficult.” “It can be.” Shinji said. “Really?” she sarcastically asked. Ryusei then flicked through his textbook and showed a page to Vanessa and said, “Well if you can understand this then you are more than welcome to help me.” Vanessa looked at the page and her eyes widened. Vanessa: (“What the hell?!”) All she saw was lots of boxes, arrows and circles randomly fitted together to some weird diagram. “Umm…What is that?” “That is a Level 3 data flow diagram. I’m guessing from your face that you can’t help so if you don’t mind.” Ryusei closed the textbook and put it on his desk and carried on working on his new diagram. “I take back what I said, but don’t worry about that too much as you’ll get it soon.” “Hopefully as it’s in for tomorrow” “I just said you will get it, and after that, you should then be focusing on the tournament.” “Is there ever gonna be a day where you don’t mention that thing?” Ryusei asked, weary of the constant talk around the university about it. “Maybe when it ends?” Ryusei put his pencil down and just sighed at the response. “Come on, don’t be like that! It’s gonna be great and you’re gonna be great.” “I’m more concerned with Kazuma throwing me into the deep end.” “I’m sure he has his reasons.” “But why me? There are so many other students he could have chosen.” “Umm, No there weren’t. Kazuma said himself it’s been a while since he’s been tested so therefore at this moment, you’re the next best duellist. YOU fit the bill.” “Yeah but…” “But nothing! Just accept that you’re in this already!” Vanessa snapped. “It’s true Ryusei.” Shinji said “Whether you like it or not, you are the best duellist in our dorm after Kazuma. So it is more or less you’re duty to enter if the best person can’t.” “True.” “Plus it’s just a tournament, nothing major, and there is not really any pressure on you compared to the others, so just go there and do your best.” “Exactly! Just deal with it head on! Just like you do with any problems you happen to come across!” Vanessa said smiling. “Fine. I won’t complain anymore. I’ll just accept it and do my best.” Ryusei muttered. Vanessa and Shinji smiled at the response, which made Ryusei also smile. But then Ryusei’s stomach growled loudly to break the moment. “That’s one way to kill a moment.” Vanessa joked. “Come to think of it I haven’t eaten all day. I need to go to the café.” “I’ll come with you. I gotta go to the library anyway to get another book for revision.” Shinji said as he packed his work into his bag. Vanessa deep in thought over her own comments on about dealing with problems head on then replied. “I’m gonna go back to my room. There’s something I’ve got to take care of.” The three went out of the room with Ryusei and Shinji heading out of the dorm. Vanessa went into her room, put on her Duel Disk and grabbed her Deck and headed out of the dorm also. Location: Domino South Dorm Hayate was busy working on an essay on market auditing on his laptop in his room. Tasuku then knocked on the door and walked in. “What’s up?” he asked. “I’m just putting the finishing touches on my essay. Afterwards I will set up the little draw for who faces who in the opening round.” Hayate responded. “Are you including…?” “I’m thinking about it. Kazuma is a right bastard for doing that.” “Well if not, why don’t you enter? You said it yourself that you would rather be in it yourself. So then do it.” “I would if the news didn’t spread like wildfire.” “About that…I met Yuri yesterday” Tasuku said tentatively. “How’s he doing?” “Well he heard the news also and says we should take a look closer to home.” “Meaning?” “I think he means that it must have come from here, possibly within the circle.” “What did you say?!” “I know, I know, I don’t believe it either, but at the same time there would be no harm in checking it out just in case.” Hayate paused, thinking for a moment before saying “All right. I’ll BRIEFLY look into it. But that still doesn’t solve the other problem.” “Leave that with me and hopefully I’ll have something by later today.” Tasuku grabbed his bag and went out of the room. Location: University Main Building It was 2pm, and Ryusei and Shinji were heading back to the dorm after lunch. “I feel much better now.” Ryusei said. “I imagine you would, doing work on an empty stomach is not exactly smart.” Shinji replied. “You’re telling me, but I got a few new ideas now. So with no distractions I should be able to do this diagram by tonight.” As they continued chatting cutting through the football fields as usual, a voice from behind them said “I’ve finally caught up with you.” Both of them turned round as they saw it was Tasuku who spoke earlier. “Ryusei Fujiwara.” He said “What do you want?” Ryusei replied sternly, recognising him as a Domino South member. “We never actually met, but I’m Tasuku Miyamoto.” “Aren’t you organising this tournament with Hayate?” Shinji asked. “That’s correct, which is why I’m here on official tournament business.” “Meaning what?” Ryusei asked seriously. “Meaning that I know you don’t really want to enter this tournament and Hayate doesn’t want you there either, so I’m offering you the chance to drop out.” “Is Hayate really that much of a coward to let someone else do his dirty work?” “He doesn’t know I’m here doing this. So what do you say?” Ryusei paused for a while thinking about his decision and then he said “No thanks.” “No?” “That’s right. Even if I wanted to Kazuma chose me to be the rep and is counting on me, so I won’t let him down, you’ll be seeing me at the tournament.” “Hm. Fine, then how about this? We duel.” “Come again?” “Simple, we duel. With you’re spot as the prize and me representing Hayate, the winner gets the final tournament spot.” “What if I refuse?” “You’ll forfeit your entry.” “That’s not fair!” Shinji exclaimed. “Nothing’s fair in business! So what’s it going to be Ryusei?” Ryusei gritted his teeth as he’s between a rock and a hard place. Ryusei (“This is a real pain. If I duel I jeopardise my assignment, a low grade will put me at a disadvantage for the next coursework. But if I don’t duel then I’m out of the tournament, and I’ve just promised to my friends that I’ll do it.”) Shinji noticed that Ryusei was struggling with his decision. He then remembered what happened in the first week in University, when Ryusei saved him from Yuri and his gang. At that point he realised that he’s never had the chance to pay him back for what he did that day and then saw an opportunity. “Tasuku” He said. As Tasuku turned to Shinji he carried on saying “I’ll duel you, as a rep for Ryusei.” “What?” Ryusei asked. “Not gonna happen.” Tasuku answered seriously. “Why not? If you’re a rep for Hayate, Ryusei should be allowed a rep also if needed.” Shinji replied back with a determined look on his face. “Fine, I’ll let you decide Ryusei as to who duels, yourself or your friend here?” Ryusei turned to Shinji but before he could say anything Shinji said to him. “Look Ryusei. You don’t have the time to be hanging around here, you got work to do. Plus this is my way of paying you back, so I’m going to do this. Nothing you will say will make me change my mind.” Ryusei then replied “I was actually going to say thank you for helping me out. You’re a true friend Shinji; I’ll see you later and all the best.” Ryusei patted Shinji’s shoulder before heading back to the dorm. Both players then got their Duel Disks and put them on. They shuffled their Decks, inserted them and activated their Duel Disks shouting “Duel!” LP (Tasuku-4000/Shinji-4000) “I’ll start” Tasuku said as he drew his card. “I first summon Batteryman D (0/1900) in defense mode.” A large yellow and black battery with green and silver head, arms and legs appeared on the field. “I’ll play a card face-down and end my turn.” Shinji: (“Batteryman cards. They’re usually weak but very strong when together. I have to stop him from getting too many monsters out.”) “My turn then!” Shinji declared. “I summon Command Knight (1200/1900) in attack mode and when she’s summoned she boosts all Warriors by 400 ATK points (1600/1900). Next I equip her with Malevolent Nuzzler, giving her another 700 ATK (2300/1900). Command Knight will attack your Batteryman!” Tasuku was not bothered by the destruction of his monster. “I play a card face-down and end my…” “In your End Phase,” Tasuku interrupted “I activate my face down Limit Reverse, which Special Summons a monster from my Graveyard with less than 1000ATK in attack mode so Batteryman D (0/1900) comes back.” Shinji: (“He’s obviously going to release that Batteryman D for something better.”) “As I said, I end my turn” Tasuku declared his turn by drawing. “I release Batteryman D to summon Batteryman Charger (1800/1200). When he’s summoned I can special summon a Batteryman monster from my hand or Deck such as Batteryman AA (0/0)! When Batteryman AA is in attack mode it gains 1000 ATK (1000/0).” “Despite all this, nether of them are strong enough to take out Command Knight.” “True, but Charger gets 300 more ATK and DEF for each Thunder-Type monster I got.” Charger created an electric current with AA to gain his points (2400/1800) “Charger attack Command Knight!” “I activate Ready for Intercepting which flips my Command Knight to face-down defense! So I take no damage.” Shinji declared as his monster was destroyed. “True but now you’re open for a direct attack. Go AA!” AA fired a shot of electricity at Shinji causing him to flinch. LP (4000/3000) “I end my turn.” “My turn and I’ll summon Marauding Captain (1200/400) and when he’s summoned I can summon another Level 4 monster like my Exiled Force (1000/1000)! Marauding Captain attacks your Batteryman AA!” He charged forward in a heroic manner, drawing his sword and slashing the monster, causing it to shatter. LP (3800/3000) “Next I use my Exiled Force’s effect. By releasing it I can destroy a monster of yours so Batteryman Charger is destroyed!” Tasuku still didn’t look too fussed about the situation. “I end my turn.” “Hm. My turn.” Tasuku drew his card and smiled “I remove from play my Charger and D from play so that I can then summon Batteryman Industrial Strength (2600/0)!” “Whoa.” Shinji said in awe of the monster. “Industrial Strength, attack his Captain!” The monster put the two connecting leads it was holding together, above its head. It then shot a current at Shinji, who fell on the ground from the impact of the attack. LP (3800/1600) As he started to get up, Tasuku chuckled slightly “Are you sure you want to continue?” Shinji just looked sternly at Tasuku giving his answer from his determined eyes. “I play Card Destruction so we discard our hands and draw the same number we discarded (Tasuku-3, Shinji-2). I’ll end my turn with a monster face-down and two face-down cards. Your turn now Shinji and you better make it count, after all, Ryusei is counting on you.” Shinji was slightly nervous but clenched his fist believing he can get through this. Location: University Main Building Elsewhere Vanessa watched two girls leaving the cafeteria. Instead of leaving through the usual front entrance they went through the back entrance of the cafeteria. This is because it is slightly closer to the route towards the Domino North Dormitory. Vanessa quickly followed the two girls and caught up with them on their way to their dorm (a wide pathway with a field of grass on either side). “Hey!” She called out to the girls. As they both turned round on the left was Kasumi and Mitsuko was on the right. “Vanessa!” Mitsuko surprisingly said. Kasumi just looked at Vanessa and said “Am I supposed to know you from somewhere?” she asked coldly. “Yeah you do. Osaka if you don’t remember!” Vanessa said with venom. “I don’t.” Vanessa gritted her teeth in annoyance to Kasumi’s response. “Well then I will just have to refresh her memory.” She replied as she put her Deck into her Duel Disk and activated it. “You… are challenging me?” “Damn straight! What you said in Osaka pissed me off! You can’t just treat people like that! Plus that comment about a two-turn win? What the hell was that about?! Do you think you’re so great that you can just mouth off to anybody?!” Kasumi just continued staring at Vanessa, not saying a word. “I guess not. Maybe you’re just all talk. Maybe you just say things like that to sound cool, but you’re nothing more than a silly little girl trying to mix with the big leagues.” she smirked. “Vanessa, don’t!” Mitsuko said worryingly. “That’s right! You’re just a little girl who tries to sound great but probably couldn’t win a duel against a little kid, let alone a student in this uni!” Vanessa: (“If that doesn’t get her to duel then I don’t know what will.”) “Lend me you’re Duel Disk Mitsuko.” Kasumi said calmly. Mitsuko took it out of her bag slowly, reluctant to give it to her. Kasumi put on her Duel Disk, pulled her Deck out of her pouch and shuffled, with her eyes fixed on Vanessa the whole time. “Word of advice. You should really learn when to shut your mouth because one day, it’s gonna get you into a hole you won’t be able to dig yourself out of.” “You’re accepting then?” “Only because you’ve given me a chance for a warm up before the tournament.” “Wait a minute! You’re in the tournament?!” Vanessa asked shocked at the reply “So that means you’re…” “Kasumi Fujia, Duel Leader of Domino North.” “Oh crap…” Vanessa muttered under her breath “It doesn’t matter who you are, I’ll still take you down!” The pair drew their five cards and said “Duel!” LP (Kasumi-4000/Vanessa-4000) The wind picked up slightly blowing both players’ hair before settling down again. “Since I challenged, I’ll…” “My turn.” Kasumi interrupted Vanessa “I set a monster face-down and two cards face-down. Turn end.” “YOU CAN’T DO THAT! I WAS GOING FIRST!” Vanessa shouted. “You were too slow.” Kasumi replied calmly. Vanessa growled angrily as her hatred for Kasumi grew more and more. “Since this is the first time you’ve faced me there is something you should know. I’m straight to the point. If you waste my time I get pissed, if you slow down the pace, I get pissed, if you try and chat, I get pissed. So you really have to work hard so that you don’t piss me off.” “Whatever. My turn.” Vanessa declared as she studied her hand (Marshmallon, Divine Wrath, Dark Bribe, Neo Parshath, Airknight Parshath, Layard the Liberator). Vanessa: (“I wish I had a Solemn Judgement early but anyway, the good thing is I can get my best monster in my second turn, so lets see how she would deal with that.”) “Right now, you are officially wasting my time” Kasumi coldly said. “Shut up! I set a monster face-down and two cards face-down. Now let’s see what you can do.” Kasumi drew her card silently. “I flip my face-down monster Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter (200/100)” A vicious snow-white wolf appeared with gold and white armour around its hind legs and stomach. Vanessa: (“Lightsworns?!”) “Its effect allows me to take out a card on the field so I choose your monster.” “Don’t think so as I’ll activate Divine Wrath! By discarding a card (Layard the Liberator) I can negate the effect and destroy the monster!” A lightning strike hit and shattered Ryko. Kasumi unfazed continued with her move “I activate Monster Reborn.” “Sorry but my Dark Bribe negates that and forces you to draw again!” As her spell disintegrated Kasumi drew her card, glanced at it and played it straight away. “I activate Solar Recharge so by discarding a Lightsworn monster (Lumina) I get to draw two cards and then send the top two cards of my Deck to the Graveyard (Wulf, Brain Control). Since Wulf, Lightsworn Beast (2100/400) was sent from the Deck to the Graveyard I can Special Summon it in attack mode.” Vanessa: (“Don’t panic, Marshmallon can’t be destroyed by battle so it’s all good”) “I next release my Wulf to summon Celestia, Lightsworn Angel (2300/200). When Celestia is summoned I can send the top four cards of my Deck to the Graveyard (Garoth, Beckoning Light, Jain, and Pot of Avarice) to destroy up to two cards on the field.” “What?” Vanessa said in disbelief, but before she could grasp what is going on, a blast of light from Celestia destroyed her monster. “Oh no.” she whispered. “Next is my Trap card Glorious Illusion, which allows me to Special Summon a Lightsworn monster from my Grave like Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner (1000/1000). Her effect discards a card form my hand (Aurkus) to summon a Lightsworn from my Graveyard like Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior (1850/1300).” Vanessa was in complete amazement of what just happened. Vanessa: (“What…just…happened?”) “Lightsworns, triple attack!” All three monsters rushed forward and one by one, attacked Vanessa who fell to the ground in the aftermath. LP (4000/0) Kasumi sighed and said “Shame. I thought you would actually be a decent warm-up. Turns out you were the one who was all talk, so thanks for wasting five minutes of my life.” She deactivated the Duel Disk and walked away. As Vanessa sat up Mitsuko looked at her sadly and then turned to follow Kasumi. Vanessa got up, dusted herself off and walked back to her dorm with her head down. Back at the football fields the other duel continued. Shinji just drew his card to start his turn. “I play Pot of Greed to draw two cards and then activate Swords of Revealing Light so you can’t attack for three turns.” “That card flips my Batteryman Micro-Cell (100/100) and when he’s flipped I can summon another level 4 Batteryman from my Deck such as AA (1000/0) in attack mode.” Tasuku declared. “I’ll set a monster, a face-down and end my turn.” Shinji said quietly. “My turn then and I use my Industrial Strength's effect. I remove Batteryman C from my Graveyard to destroy a Monster and a Spell or Trap on the field.” “What?!” “So your Swords and your monster are destroyed and now you’re wide open.” “Go Threatening Roar! So you can’t declare an attack this turn!” “Lucky. I set a card face-down. I end my turn.” Shinji: (“This is probably my last turn so I gotta make it count!”) As he drew his card he hoped for the best and he got Monster Reborn. As he saw the cards in his hand he smiled, thinking how he can turn this duel around. “I play Monster Reborn bringing back my Freed the Matchless General (2300/1700)!” “So?” “So now, I summon a Tuner monster, Nitro Synchron (300/100)!” “A Tuner?” “I tune my level 2 Nitro Synchron with my level 5 Freed!” Nitro Synchron exploded into 2 stars which formed into green rings. The rings then descended on Freed morphing him into 5 single stars, and then a large pillar of green light appeared. “Synchro Summon! Blaze on, Nitro Warrior (2800/1800)!” A green muscle bound creature with black armour flew into the air with the jet pack on his back. It then descended down to an almighty landing. “Crap.” Tasuku said. “When Nitro Synchron is sent to the graveyard for a Synchro Summon of a Nitro monster I can draw a card.” Shinji drew his card and noticed he can win. “I equip my Nitro Warrior with Junk Barrage!” “What’s that?” “You’ll find out soon enough. Nitro Warrior attacks Industrial Strength!” Nitro Warrior prepared himself to attack. "Also, since I activated a Spell Card. My Warrior gains 1000ATK at the Damage Step (3800/1800)! Go, Dynamite Knuckle!" Nitro Warrior flew forward with two fists punching the Batteryman, causing it to explode. LP (2600/1600) “Next Junk Barrage takes effect. When I destroy a monster by battle, you take damage equal to half the attack of the destroyed monster!” Tasuku put his arms up in defense as a mini meteor shower landed on his side of the field. LP (1300/1600) “That all you got?!” Tasuku demanded. “No actually as my monster has another effect. Since I destroyed a monster I can shift a monster on your side from defense to attack mode and then attack that monster!” “No way!” “Even though he loses its ATK bonus (2800/1800) it still has enough to take you out! So I switch Micro-Cell (100/100) into attack mode! Nitro Warrior, attack!” As Nitro Warrior prepared to attack by pulling back his fist Tasuku had something to say. “I activate my face-down Return from the Different Dimension so I pay half my Life Points to bring back Batteryman Charger (1800/1200) and Batteryman D (0/1900) in defense and Batteryman D prevents Thunder monsters from being attacked except itself!” LP (650/1600) Nitro changed his attack to Batteryman D which was then destroyed. Shinji growled in annoyance but was slightly confident about victory. “I end my turn and you’re and Charger is now removed from play.” Tasuku drew his card and then smirked. “For a member of Domino East you’re not that bad, but not good enough. I activate my first face-down Burial of the Different Dimension. Now I can put 3 of my removed monsters such as AA, Charger and C back into the Graveyard.” Shinji: (“Is he summoning another Industrial Strength?”) “Next is my other face-down, Portable Battery Pack. This Trap allows me to summon two Batteryman from my Graveyard in attack mode so I choose Batteryman AA (0/0) and Batteryman C. Plus since 2 AA’s are in attack they get 1000ATK for each one (Both AA’s 2000/0).” Shinji was looking slightly concerned about his plan. “Now to win, I activate from my hand, Short Circuit.” “Short Circuit?” “Yes, Short Circuit. It’s a handy Spell that I can use when I have three Batteryman monsters on the field. It lets me destroy all your cards.” “No! It can’t be!” Shinji exclaimed as all his cards exploded. “Batteryman AA, attack him directly!” LP (650/0) Shinji went down on his knees and punched the ground in anger. Tasuku just smiled and said “I’ll leave you to tell Ryusei the good news.” As he walked away. Shinji: (“Ryusei, I’m sorry.”) Location: Domino South Dorm It was mid evening, nearing to 7pm, with calmer winds compared to earlier. Hayate was at his desk working on his Deck with lots of cards on the table. Tasuku just knocked on Hayate’s door and entered with a smile on his face. “You all right?” Tasuku asked. “Not really.” Hayate replied seriously. “Why, what happened?” “I’ve disbanded my circle.” “What?! Why?” “After a quick investigation it turns out it did come from inside. So Yuri was right.” “So what did you do?” “I called a meeting to find out the truth, they covered it up so it was obvious. But they did admit they lost faith in me after my duel. So I disbanded it. I only need people I can trust like you and like Yuri, so don’t worry about it.” “Okay man. If you think that’s for the best then fine, I agree with you. But more importantly, about Ryusei.” “He’s staying in.” Hayate interrupted. “What?!” “Kazuma was right, if he makes it to the final which I doubt he will anyway but if he does, it is an opportunity to settle the score. I need to deal with him head on and by myself.” “Fair enough.” Tasuku said quietly, annoyed at the fact he just wasted his afternoon. As he turned his head he noticed Hayate’s deck and a load of cards on the table, he then noticed a couple of Jinzo cards on the desk. “You took Jinzo out of your deck?!” “Just for now. The Deck I had wasn’t good enough for victory last time so I’ve changed it. This Deck will retain my title for me. More importantly I’ve found a little program which would automatically do the draw for the first round.” Tasuku: (“What’s going on here? The circle, the tournament and leaving out Jinzo? I’ve never seen him make that many snap decisions in a short space of time.”) They both went to Hayate’s laptop as he ran the program. It was cycling threw the selections at super speed and randomly stopped after 30 seconds and the matches were revealed. They looked at the draw and they both said, “Interesting.” Location: Domino East Dorm Ryusei just finished his data flow diagram and gave a huge sigh of relief. Like a weight has been removed off his shoulders. As he got up from his chair Shinji just entered the room. “Don’t worry about it.” Ryusei said. Shinji looked up at Ryusei and said “How did…” “I figured if you won you would have came here straight away. But as I said don’t worry about it.” “But…” “You helped me out when I needed it, and that means a lot more to me than whether I can take part in some event, so again I thank you for bailing me out.” Shinji gave a little smile and then a beep came from Ryusei’s PDA which turned out to be an email alert. “It’s from Hayate!” Ryusei said surprisingly. “What’s it say?” Ryusei opened the email and it read Fellow Competitors The draw of the first round of the University-Inter-Dorm Tournament has been completed. The following matches will take place in 8 days time: Ayaka Uchiha vs. Kasumi Fujia Yuji Nakata vs. Ryusei Fujiwara “You’re still in!” Shinji said happily. “Yuji Nakata is who I’m duelling. You have any idea who he is?” “Nope but more importantly is that you’re still in!” As Shinji celebrated Ryusei was thinking about this Yuji person, the only Duel Leader that he hasn’t met. End of Chapter Preview: Everyone heads to the Kaiba Dome for the start of the tournament. With Vanessa and Shinji struggling to make it in time. Hayate and Ryusei clash again just before the start of the first match between Ayaka and Kasumi in a fierce battle for supremacy. Chapter 10-Inter-dorm Tournament Start!

Location: Domino Town Centre It was a late crisp evening, with a half moon and many stars filling the night sky. As usual, the town was busy with many people either doing late night shopping or heading into bars and restaurants. Ryusei and Shinji were walking up the well-lit town, just generally hanging out. “Do you ALWAYS buy so many booster packs?” Ryusei asked as Shinji was carrying a bag full of booster packs. “No! Only when a new set comes out” Shinji answered defensively. Ryusei quietly chuckled as the pair continued walking. In a short while Shinji then noticed the laces of his trainers were undone. He stopped and started doing them up as Ryusei kept on walking. After about 15 seconds Ryusei stopped and said “Come on man it doesn’t take that long to do your…shoelace.” As he turned round he noticed that Shinji was gone, nowhere to be seen. Furthermore, he saw no-one in sight. Everyone had vanished. “What’s going on?” He asked himself, agitated as he was walking through the deserted town. “Shinji!” he called out. There was no response. He called the name louder and still nothing. He was about to shout out his name again but suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew. As he put his hands up to protect himself he noticed something in the wind, speckles of stardust. “Not again.” he whispered as he suddenly heard a low-tone, eerie growl. That was when Ryusei turned and started running. He sprinted up the main street of the town but darted into an alleyway. He kept darting into numerous alleyways in an attempt to lose the creature. He always felt the creature was close but every time he looked back, he couldn’t see it. After leaving another alleyway he ended up on one of the main streets. He continued running but then something caught his eye. In an alleyway to his left he saw the shadow of a person watching him. Ryusei was about to run over to that place, but then for some reason, he started ascending. As he was rapidly rising in the air he noticed a large sky-blue foot with long sharp claws on his right shoulder. He figured out that the creature has got him. In a panicked state Ryusei started shaking violently, desperately trying to break free from the creature’s hold. When that didn’t work he started punching the creature’s foot with his left hand. The creature struggled with its grip on Ryusei due to his actions and eventually let go. Ryusei screamed as he was free-falling to certain death and just as he was about to hit the ground, he suddenly woke up screaming from his bed. “Ryusei!” Shinji called out worryingly. Ryusei was a little disorientated when he woke up, breathing heavily. He then realised he was in his room and Shinji was standing next to him. “Shinji.” he responded quietly “Are you all right?” Ryusei ran his hands down his face and answered calmly, “Yeah I’m fine. It was just a dream.” “Are you sure? Do you want to talk about it?” “I’m okay. Sorry for worrying you but you can go back to bed.” As Shinji went back to bed Ryusei lied on his bed, wide awake, staring at the ceiling. As he tried to close his eyes, he constantly sees images of his dream, especially the image of the person’s shadow. As Ryusei opened his eyes again he started to wonder who that person was. Chapter 10-Inter-Dorm Tournament Start! Warm Heart vs. Iced Judgment! “Come on! We’re gonna miss it!” Vanessa shouted impatiently. It was Saturday afternoon, just gone after 1pm. It was a mild but cloudy day with small breaks of sunshine. Vanessa was outside the Domino East Dorm, waiting for Shinji who had just rushed out. The pair then started running towards the fields. “How could you forget you’re ticket?!” Vanessa asked with a stern look at Shinji. “I’m sorry, but I also had to get something to give to Ryusei.” He replied “Why didn’t you give it to him BEFORE he left?” “He left the place real early. I know competitors need to be there earlier but he was gone by morning.” “Doesn’t matter now, what matters is that we hurry up!” They continued running past the fields and the University Main Building. They headed out of the entrance of the University grounds and turned left. Up further ahead was a bus stop but unfortunately for them, they saw the bus already parked there. As they upped their pace the last person got on the bus and it pulled away heading towards the city. Both stopped to catch their breath and then Vanessa gave Shinji a hard slap on the back of his head, knocking off his glasses. “This is you’re fault!” “How is it my fault?!” “Because you wasted time by forgetting you’re ticket!” “But if we left earlier like I said, this wouldn’t have happened!” he picked up his glasses, wiped them on his grey jumper and put them back on. As Shinji looked at the timetable he added “Looking at this the next bus won’t come for another 40 minutes.” “40 MINUTES?! We’ll miss the first match!” Vanessa groaned with frustration. “Well there’s not much we can do.” Vanessa composed herself and then answered confidently “Yes there is!” “What?” “We’re gonna run there!” “Are you insane?! It will take over an hour to walk to the Kaiba Dome!” “That’s why we are going to run there! I’m not missing a single minute of this tournament so come ON!” She grabbed Shinji’s arm and started sprinting the same way the bus went with Shinji in tow. After a few minutes of running Vanessa and Shinji approached a junction. Vanessa foolishly crossed the road without a second’s hesitation. Shinji called out as a car was coming at the same time. Vanessa noticed it too late and braced for impact but luckily the car grinded to a halt, inches away from Vanessa. “What the hell are you doing?!” an angry voice said. Vanessa opened her eyes and realised she was okay and she looked at the driver and was surprised. “Kazuma?” “Vanessa? What are you doing? Do you have a death wish or something?” Kazuma asked angrily. “Forget about that!” She snapped as she put her hands on the bonnet of the car “I need a favour from you.” “Can it wait? I gotta be somewhere now!” “No it can’t! I need you to give me and Shinji a lift to the Kaiba Dome.” “Forget it.” “But we’re gonna miss the first match!” she whined “Well you should have left earlier. Besides, the Kaiba Dome is the opposite way of where I’m headed.” “Where are you going?” Shinji asked in a prying manner. “I’m heading to the airport. I’m flying to Sapporo to help out with my Dad’s restaurant.” “What time is you’re flight?” Vanessa jumped in. “At four” “You can still drop us off and make it there with plenty of time for your flight.” “Look Vanessa…” “Listen Kazuma! I am not missing this tournament! If you don’t take us now I swear, I will throw you out of this car and drive it myself!” She announced as she folded her arms and stared with serious eyes. Kazuma just sighed and muttered reluctantly “Get in.” Vanessa gasped which turned into a huge smile across her face “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” Shinji and Vanessa rushed into the car as Kazuma turned left at the junction heading towards the city. The time was 1:20pm. At the southern part of Domino City there was a long queue of about sixty people, most of them were students. They were all outside a very large blue dome building with the dome itself shaped as the head of a Blue Eyes White Dragon. This was the Kaiba Dome. Inside there were thousands of people. Some were hanging out; others were queuing for food or buying tickets at the door, but most of them already took to their seats in the stadium. At the very back of the dome was an area where the duellists prepare for their matches. One of the rooms was called the ‘Viewing Room’. It was generally a blue room, sky-blue walls, navy blue carpet and glass tables at each sofa. There were 3 navy blue sofas, one left, one right and one centrally in front of a huge plasma screen on a wall, stretching from one end of the wall to the other. Sitting on the central sofa was Ryusei with his head down and his hands clasped together. His mind was elsewhere, still thinking about the vivid dream he had last night. As images of it continued rushing through his head a voice said, “You won’t win if you don’t focus.” This caught Ryusei’s attention as he turned to his right to see Hayate relaxing against the wall with his arms folded. “I don’t need your advice.” he replied in a serious fashion. “It wasn’t advice. It’s the truth.” “Well you shouldn’t be worrying about me.” “I’m not. I was hoping to chill out here but there seems to be a smell of low class scum around.” This statement annoyed Ryusei. “So I’m off elsewhere.” Hayate finished as he started to leave. Still annoyed by what Hayate said, Ryusei then retaliated to by saying to purposely anger Hayate. “You still can’t stand the fact that someone like me is better than you, can’t you?” Hayate stopped and turned round. As he walked towards him, Ryusei got up from his chair as they stood face-to-face. “Let’s get one thing straight. You’re win was a fluke, a FLUKE! And this tournament is gonna prove that you’re nothing more than a lucky son of a bitch!” “You know, this is the first time that you’ve actually managed to piss me off. So I’m looking forward to beating you and taking you’re title.” Hayate grabbed Ryusei’s shirt with hatred in his eyes “Now listen here you piece of s…” “Hey!” a female voice called out. As both men looked at the doorway they noticed Ayaka has just walked in. “Ayaka!” Ryusei said in surprise “Ms. Uchiha” Hayate said pleasantly as he slowly let go of Ryusei’s shirt. “Hayate you should really cut down on your swearing. Profanities are not necessary.” “Shouldn’t you be preparing for your match?” Ryusei asked. “I am. But I wish the match will just start already but I have to wait for another half hour.” She said, irritated at the waiting time. “You’re actually that excited to have your match now?” “Please. I would rather be tending to a garden then duelling in this.” She said smiling, which slightly irritated Hayate. “Anyway I’m gonna head out, check my Deck one more time or something.” “All right, well good luck Ayaka.” Ryusei smiled. “Same to you Ryusei.” She then hugged him. When they finished their embrace she headed out of the room. “Where’s mine?” Hayate enquired. “You told me last time that luck is for people who don’t have a sound strategy, so I’m assuming you don’t need it.” She quietly chuckled before she left. “She’s such a pain that girl.” He said quietly “I’m out of here!” He glared at Ryusei and walked off, leaving Ryusei alone in the room with his thoughts. Outside the Kaiba Dome the time was 1:40pm. The queue had shrunk greatly due to the extensive efforts of the staff indoors. Kazuma had just arrived and parked with Vanessa and Shinji jumping out of the car. “I can’t thank you enough Kazuma.” Vanessa said gleefully. “No worries. Now enjoy yourself, and let me know what happens.” He replied as he was about to drive off. “Wait a minute! Aren’t you gonna watch?” “He already said that he has to go to the airport.” Shinji answered “You should at least stay to watch Ryusei’s first match.” “Why?” Kazuma asked, thinking there is no need. “It’s a way of saying thank you to Ryusei. After all you did throw him in the deep end. So the least you could do is to watch his match.” “Even if I wanted to stay I’ll be cutting it too close with my flight.” “Come on Kazuma!” Kazuma deeply thought about it and did realise Vanessa is right. He does owe Ryusei something for this. “I suppose I could call my Dad and sort out a later flight.” Vanessa smiled at Kazuma’s answer. “You can really be a pain Vanessa.” Kazuma said as he got out of the car, dialled a number on his cell phone and went with Vanessa and Shinji to the queue. It was just before 2pm. As the trio headed into the stadium the place was almost full, most of them being fellow students. Since the stadium seating was set up in an oval shape, each half of the oval was divided into three further sections. On the right half were Domino South (1st section), Domino Central (2nd section) and Domino North (3rd section) supporters. On the left half was Domino East (1st section), neutral fans (2nd section) and Domino West fans (3rd section). “Wow! Look at all the people here!” Shinji said in excitement. “I know, I think Domino East is over there.” Vanessa said pointing towards their section. As they headed there to take a seat an announcer came out from the centre of the duelling field. He was a man who stood at medium height, wearing a black suit, sunglasses and had short spiked blonde hair. A huge smile appeared on his face as he grabbed the microphone and shouted with passion. “All Righty then! Let’s get this show on the road!” this caused the crowd to cheer loudly. In the “Viewing Room” Ryusei was sitting on the central sofa, watching the announcer on the screen. He heard the door open and a young man walked in, appearing to be a student. He was tall, with blue eyes and short black hair, with a fringe at the front, and became pointed at the back of his neck. He wore a long-sleeved black shirt, black trousers and black suede shoes. “I didn’t realise anyone was in here.” The man said. “It’s no problem.” Ryusei replied not bothered by his presence. The man went and sat down on the sofa on the right. He looked at Ryusei and asked. “You’re Ryusei right? Ryusei Fujiwara?” “Yeah” “That’s so cool! So you’re in this tournament! You’re gonna be duelling after this match! You’re facing…erm…” “Yuji Nakata.” “That’s it! Yuji! He’s a very good duellist you know.” “You seem to know something about him. Care to fill me in?” Ryusei asked curiously. The man just chuckled and said. “I don’t know that much about him, but I watched him in last year’s tournament and he is really good! He reached the final and everything.” As they continued watching Ryusei saw that the stadium was full of people. “Hmm, it seems a lot of people came to this tournament.” “Of course! It’s because you’re in it.” “Because of me?” “Yeah man, rumours about you been flying around in this uni. This is the people’s chance to see whether what’s been said is true.” “And what have they been saying?” “Don’t worry about that.” “Doesn’t bother me anyway, but I have to ask though why are you watching the duel here and not at the stadium?” The man scratched the back of his head as he said nervously “I kind of lost my ticket. Plus I didn’t have enough money to buy a spare so I snuck in through the crowd past security…” “Don’t worry about it.” Ryusei chuckled “I won’t say anything.” “Thanks man.” He breathed a sigh of relief and settled down to watch the match. Back at the stadium the announcer said “All righty! Let’s meet today’s duellists! First, representing Domino West is the Nature Queen, Ayaka Uchiha!” A big cheer came from the West section as a part of the duel field opened up, then Ayaka ascended through the gap. “And her opponent, representing Domino North is the Ice-Sworn Princess, Kasumi Fujia!” Cheers came from the North section as she ascended up the platform. Most of the boys from the other dorms were in awe of her beauty. So they all started cheering for Kasumi. “So pathetic…” Vanessa muttered. The two duellists walked up to each other and swapped Decks to be shuffled. No words were exchanged during the process, just stares between the two girls. They got their Decks back and walked to their ends of the duelling field. Ayaka: (“Kasumi...her style of duelling is to hit hard and fast. If I want to beat her I’m gonna have to match her tempo.”) “ALL RIGHTY THEN! LET THE DUEL COMMENCE!” the announcer shouted as he left the stage. Both players activated their Duel Disks and shouted “Duel!” LP (Ayaka-4000/Kasumi-4000) “My turn!” Ayaka declared as she drew her card. “I summon Des Dendle (300/2000) in defense mode! Next I play the spell Seed of Deception, so I can summon a Plant monster who’s level 2 or lower, like Nettles (1200/400)!” a small group of tall grass with vicious eyes and mouths entered the playing field. Kasumi showed now emotion to the play. “I tune my level 2 Nettles with my level 4 Des Dendle!” The grasses exploded into stars and then, 2 green rings which descended onto Des Dendle and created a bright pillar of light. “Synchro Summon! Fully blossom, Queen of Thorns (2200/1800)! I end my turn.” “That’s a pretty fast start!” Shinji said excitedly. “I hope Ayaka beats that stuck up bitch!” Vanessa muttered under her teeth. “My turn, I’ll activate Charge of the Light Brigade. By sending the top three cards to the graveyard (Wulf, Brain Control and Vanquishing Light) I can add a level 4 or lower Lightsworn to my hand such as Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter.” Ayaka looked slightly concerned knowing of Ryko’s effect. “Since Wulf, Lightsworn Beast (2100/300) was sent from the Deck to the Graveyard he is automatically Special Summoned.” A giant wolf-looking beast appeared on the field with white/gold armour and wielded a giant golden axe. “I set a monster face-down and a card face-down. Turn end.” “Seems Ayaka has the advantage” The man said. “I would like to think that too, but there is a long way to go” Ryusei replied. “My turn, I summon Lord Poison (1500/1000) in attack mode!” A deformed tree trunk appeared with branches as arms and razor sharp claws. “Queen of Thorns attacks Wulf with Royal Grip!” the monster flew forward and grabbed Wulf with its claw and crushed it until it shattered. LP (4000/3900) “Lord Poison attacks your face-down!” “Activate Trap. Light Spiral. So when cards are sent from my Deck to the Grave by a Lightsworn effect I can remove from play the top card of you’re Deck.” Lord Poison continued its attack destroying the monster which turned out to be Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter (200/100). “Since Ryko was flipped I can take out your Queen and send the top three cards to the Graveyard.” Ayaka’s monster shattered and Jenis, Celestia and Solar Recharge were sent to the Graveyard. “Now you must remove from play you’re top card.” Ayaka picked it up and noticed it was Regenerating Rose and placed it in her pouch. “I end my turn” Ayaka declared. “My turn and I summon Jain, Lightsworn Paladin (1800/1200).” A short white haired woman appeared. Wearing white/gold armour with a cape, equipped with a shield and sword. “Jain attacks your monster and when she attacks, she gains 300 more attack points (2100/1200).” She darted forward and sliced Ayaka’s monster which caused it to shatter. LP (3400/3900) “Lord Poison’s effect activates. When it’s destroyed and sent to the Graveyard I can summon a Plant monster from my Graveyard like Queen of Thorns (2200/1800)!” “I set a face-down and in my End Phase, Jain sends my top two cards to the Graveyard, causing Light Spiral to remove from play you’re top card.” Ayaka picked up The World Tree and removed it. “You’re turn.” Ayaka: (“I have to find a way to get rid of that Light Spiral. The longer it stays the more damage it will cause.”) “My turn!” She looked at her card in a little disappointment, but carried on. “I summon Gigantic Cephalotus (1850/700) in attack mode! Then I play the spell Vine Whip! If I control a Plant-Type monster I can destroy a face-down Spell or Trap and inflict 300 points of damage to you!” A long vine appeared from the card and whipped the face-down with lightning speed destroying Widespread Ruin. LP (3400/3600) “Yes! Take it to her Ayaka!” Vanessa cheered. “Gigantic Cephalotus attacks now!” The monster leaped forward, opened its mouth and swallowed Jain whole. LP (3400/3550) “Queen of Thorns, attack directly!” Thousands of thorn pellets were shot at Kasumi who didn’t even flinch at the onslaught. LP (3400/1350) “I end my turn.” Most of the male fans groaned at the state of the duel, while Domino West fans were celebrating. “Looks like Ayaka has got this duel won!” Shinji said happily “I’m not so sure. I know Kasumi, and it’s never easy to win against her. Ayaka still has a lot of work to do.” Kazuma replied, which gave Vanessa a small look of worry. “Draw. Due to the effect of your queen I must pay 1000 Life Points to summon a non-Plant monster from my hand.” LP (3400/350) “I summon Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner (1000/1000).” A woman was summoned, with short blonde hair wearing a white/gold dress. “I next play Solar Recharge, discarding Wulf to draw two cards and then, send two cards from my Deck to the Graveyard (Lyla, Lightsworn Sabre). Lightsworn Sabre was sent to the grave so its effect allows it to automatically equip itself onto a Lightsworn monster giving it 700ATK (Lumina-1700/1000).” “I next play Sworn Ascension. This card allows me to Special Summon a Lightsworn monster from my Graveyard like Gragonith, Lightsworn Dragon (2000/1600).” A sleek white dragon appeared with long blonde hair and widespread wings, wearing the armour across the chest and legs. “Gragonith’s effect allows it to gain 300ATK and DEF for every different Lightsworn in my Graveyard, so six Lightsworns makes it 1800 extra points.” (Gragontih-3800/3400) “No way!” Shinji said in disbelief. “I told you she wasn’t easy.” Kazuma said, unmoved by the play just made. “Gragonith, attack Queen of Thorns. Justice Breath” she said coldly. The monster took a huge breath and fired out an almighty beam of white light, vaporising Ayaka’s queen. LP (1800/350) “My Cephalotus’ effect activates. Every time a Plant monster is sent to the graveyard it gains 200ATK (2050/700).” “I set two cards face-down and end my turn. Both Lumina and Gragonith must send the top three cards to the Graveyard so Light Spiral activates twice.” As Ayaka picked up her first card to remove, it was Botanical Girl. When she picked the second card her eyes widened in shock as to what it was. “Crap” Ryusei said. “What?” the man with him asked. “She’s lost something important.” “Has she?” “Yeah, I can tell.” Ayaka reluctantly put the card in her pouch which turned out to be Tytannial, Princess of Carmelias. “Since Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior and Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid are now in the Graveyard, Gragonith’s ATK and DEF goes up by another 600 (4400/4000).” Ayaka looked at Kasumi sternly. Kasumi stayed silent, expecting Ayaka to make her move. Ayaka: (“Even though she’s running out of cards she is technically getting stronger. I have to try and finish it this turn!”) “My turn!” She drew her card and liked what she saw. “I play Pot of Greed so I draw two cards. I next play Heavy Storm which destroys all Spells and Traps.” As the North fans complained Ayaka continued her comeback plan. “I then summon Lonefire Blossom (500/1400) and play the spell Fragrance Storm. So I can destroy a Plant monster to draw a card so Gigantic Cephalotus is gone and I draw.” The audience were confused as to why she would destroy her best monster at that moment. Ryusei however smiled at the play. Ryusei: (“With the right draw she can pull out a win here.”) As Ayaka drew her card a she gave a little smile. “I play the spell Hammer Shot! This destroys the monster with the highest attack on the field!” An enormous brown hammer came from the top and squashed Gragonith, shattering it. “Next, is Lonefire’s turn, by releasing it, I can special summon a Plant monster from my Deck, so I choose Gigaplant (2400/1200)!” As the new monster appeared on the field, Domino West supporters were celebrating greatly. “She’s gonna win!” Shinji said ecstatically. “Gigaplant! End this duel by attacking Lumina!” Gigaplant shot out a claw aiming at Lumina. “YES!” Vanessa shouted, ecstatic with Ayaka’s move. The West fans continued their celebration, the North fans and most of the males were in shock, and Ryusei smiled at Ayaka’s the play. “She did it” he said. “Not quite” the man replied. “I activate…” Kasumi announced “What?!” Ayaka said in disbelief. “Necro Guardna’s effect, When it’s in the Graveyard I can remove it from play to negate the attack of one monster.” The spirit of the monster appeared absorbing all the thorns so Kasumi took no damage. “Damn it!” Vanessa said in frustration. The North fans had relief all over their faces, while West fans were disappointed and quieted down. “Ayaka still has the advantage in this duel though.” Kazuma replied in an attempt to cheer Vanessa up “That’s right. I think Ayaka has this one.” Shinji said which made Vanessa smile. “Hmm” The man said “What are you thinking?” Ryusei asked “That the duel is over.” “Even though Kasumi still has a chance, it will be very hard for her to win.” “I’m actually thinking the other way around.” “Really? You think Kasumi will win?” “Trust me she will.” “What makes you so confident?” “She has one turn left and if I know Kasumi like I think I know her, she always will come up with something.” “I end my turn with a face-down.” Ayaka declared and assessed the situation. LP (1200/350) Ayaka: (“Okay. Looking at it first glance, it seems the duel is done. She has Lumina on the field and one card in her hand. Plus she would need a monster with 2500 to defeat my Gigaplant. She could use Lumina to get back Gragonith. However my face-down is Dimension Wall, so she will take the damage, which ends the duel. Everything seems covered but what is this unsettling feeling I’m having?”) Kasumi drew her card silently and looked at it. Kasumi: (“To think that I would actually have to use this card to win. However, she has proven herself to be a worthy opponent.”) “I first activate, Solar Recovery. By removing from play 3 LIGHT Monsters (Aurkus, Jenis and Jain) I gain 1000 Life Points.” LP (1800/1350) “Since I have four differently named Lightsworn monsters in my Graveyard, I can Special Summon this monster from my hand. Come forth Judgment Dragon (3000/2600).” “Judgment Dragon?” Ayaka said in a worrying manner. As Kasumi placed the card on the Duel Disk, a wind was generated and a blinding white light came from Kasumi’s field. In the epicentre was a creature that out spread its wings and gave a loud vicious roar. As the light disappeared it revealed a large, white scaled dragon, with feather-like wings and intimidating red-eyes, to go with the red claws on its feet. “No way!” Vanessa said, in amazement of the monster. “I’ve never seen a creature like that before!” Shinji exclaimed. The Domino North fans and the male audience were cheering to see such a powerful monster on Kasumi’s side. Kasumi just stared at Ayaka causing an eerie silence. Ayaka: (“What is she waiting for? Is she deciding whether to attack or something?”) She finally broke the silence by saying “Judgment Dragon’s effect activates. By paying 1000 Life Points I can destroy all cards on the field except itself.” Ayaka gasped in shock as Kasumi has now won this match. LP (1200/350) “Activate, Storm of Justice.” The dragon flew up into the air and flapped its wings creating strong winds. Ayaka put up her hands to protect herself as all the cards was blown off the field, destroying them. “No way!” Vanessa said in shock. Most of the crowd were stunned by the awesome power of Kasumi’s monster. “No.” Ayaka whispered. “Judgment Dragon, direct attack!” The monster took a huge breath and fired out an almighty blast of white fire instantly engulfing Ayaka. In the aftermath she was down on one knee. LP (0/350) “No way…” Vanessa whispered. There was a stunned silence, which then turned into cheers from most of the fans for a great duel. “The Duel is over! The winner is Kasumi Fujia!” the announcer shouted. Ayaka got up and walked over to Kasumi “Great Duel” she said as she offered her hand. Kasumi just looked at her and walked away, surprising Ayaka. “I swear she is the most arrogant, self-centred bitch I’ve ever seen!” Vanessa said in frustration. “The next Duel will commence in 30 minutes!” it was announced. “All right I’m gonna find Ryusei.” Shinji said as he got up. “We’ll come with, to wish him luck.” Vanessa said as she and Kazuma joined Shinji to leave the stadium. Back at the viewing room, Ryusei and the other guy were talking about the duel they just watched. “How did you know that would happen, are you student from her dorm or something?” Ryusei asked. “Haha, no I’m not. I just know how she duels that’s all, despite her poker face, she fights hard in every duel and never gives up.” Ryusei: (“Kasumi Fujia, probably the favourite I would say. I bet even Hayate would admit she would be the most difficult opponent here. But there is something about her also…”) “What are you thinking about?” the man asked intriguingly. “Nothing much. Anyway, I’m gonna head out and prepare for my match, but hopefully I’ll see you around.” “Likewise.” They both got up but before they left, they shook hands. “Good luck in you’re duel Ryusei.” “Thanks.” The man opened the door and was about to leave when Ryusei called out “Hey, I realised that I don’t even know you’re name.” “Yuji Nakata. See you later.” He answered as he went out of the door. He instantly realised who he was “Yuji…wait a minute!” Ryusei called out as he rushed out of the room and looked but Yuji was already gone, nowhere to be seen. End of chapter. Preview: Shinji and the others catch up with Ryusei to wish him luck. Shinji gives Ryusei the gift he was meant to give him earlier which was a few booster packs. Ryusei prepares himself for a stern test of his credentials. As the duel is about to the start a mysterious girl appears to watch.

Location: Kaiba Dome It was about ten minutes after the duel between Ayaka and Kasumi. Ryusei was sitting down in the ‘Viewing Room’ looking lost as to what happened a few minutes ago. FLASHBACK RYUSEI-“Hey, I realised I don’t even know you’re name.” MAN-“Yuji Nakata, see you later.” Ryusei: (“What the hell was that about? All this time he was pretending to be someone else but for what reason? Was he trying to psyche me out of the duel? Did he want to know what kind of person I am? It doesn’t make any sense at all.”) He looked to his right to see what the time on the clock was (2:26pm). He noticed he had about 20 minutes left before his duel starts so he decided to leave the room to do final preparations, and try to ignore his earlier thoughts. As he left the ‘Viewing Room’ he noticed Ayaka walking towards him. She saw him and gave a little smile. “Hey” she said softly. “Hey, how are you doing?” he replied with a similar tone. “I’m okay I guess, I mean, I know I wasn’t all for this tournament but when you’re so close to victory…” “It kind of stings, I know. Well if it’s any consolation you fought very hard, you did you’re best out there and that’s all you can ask from yourself.” “Thanks Ryusei.” “So what are you doing now?” “Well, I’m gonna watch your match of course!” she answered in a happy tone. “Then I will probably go home for the rest of the weekend. Mina will stay and fill me in on everything that happens here.” “Fair enough, I hope to give you a good show.” Both of them smiled and then Ryusei noticed someone walking towards them. It was Kasumi. As she approached them Ryusei then said, “You’re Kasumi right? Congratulations on…” Kasumi just completely ignored him and walked straight past them. Ryusei was very surprised and just looked at her as she was walking away, thinking how she can be this way. “Don’t worry about her.” Ayaka said in a low tone “She’s always been like that.” “Why?” “You have to ask her.” Chapter 11-Fight Against The People’s Champion! Inside the main stadium people were again starting to take their seats in anticipation of the next match. On the upper terrace entrance, there was a girl relaxing on the wall; arms folded looking at the duel field. She looked like she was a student from the University despite having no student ID card on her person. She was slim, at average height with brown skin. She had long silky black hair reaching her middle back and soft hazelnut eyes. She was wearing pure white trousers, white shoes and a t-shirt made of the rainbow colours melding with each other going diagonally across from left to right. As she waited there, Yuri came from the same entrance behind her. Instantly attracted to her, he approached her without hesitation. “Hey there.” “Hi.” the girl replied softly without looking at him. “You’re enjoying the event so far?” “Don’t know as I just got here.” “Aren’t you gonna sit down?” “Maybe.” “Well if you want to watch this match I can hook you up with a nice spot.” “Really?” the girl asked in a completely disinterested manner. “Yeah, see that press-box over there?” she looked to where Yuri was pointing, a VIP area where important guests can watch the duels from. “Well my cousin is running this thing so with a word I can definitely get you in there. We can chill out, have some drinks, you know, and then maybe afterwards we can go out or something.” Yuri said thinking that he’s reeled her in. “So what do you say?” “I’m fine here thanks.” She replied back, still not looking at him. Realising that it’s not going to happen, he scowled a little but then just shrugged his shoulders and said “Fair enough, you’re loss.” and started to walk away. “However, I do want to know…” The girl said. Yuri turned around smiling thinking maybe the girl changed his mind. “When is Ryusei Fujiwara duelling?” “What?! Why do want to know about that punk?” he said with a little anger in his voice. “He’s the reason why I’m here.” Yuri growled a little and muttered “He’s up next. However, why are you interested in him? My cousin is ten times the duellist he is! Even I’m better than him!” “Really?” the girl said with interest, looking at Yuri for the first time “Then maybe we should have a match sometime to see whether that’s true.” Yuri chuckled slightly “Yeah maybe, I gotta take care of a few things but my offer still stands, just come up when you’re ready.” Yuri left the girl behind as she continued looking at the duel field. Girl: (“Ryusei, let’s see how strong you are.”) Elsewhere inside the Dome, Ryusei had just arrived into the main area and saw many people around, buying food, merchandise, cards or just hanging out before the next match. By chance he looked to his right and saw Shinji, Vanessa and Kazuma approaching. “Ryusei!” Shinji called out. “Hey guys, shouldn’t you be in the stadium by now?” he asked “Yeah but we wanted to wish you good luck before you go.” Vanessa answered “But I have to ask, have you seen Yuji yet?” she asked curiously. “I have actually.” “Have you? What’s he like?” “I have no idea.” Vanessa and Shinji were confused “What do you mean?” Shinji asked. “Well I was watching the duel with him but he pretended to be a different person, saying these weird things and stuff.” Kazuma chuckled lightly at Ryusei’s comment “Looks like some things never change.” “What do you mean? Do you know something Kazuma?” Vanessa asked. “Yuji has a funny side to him, he likes having a laugh and playing jokes on people and stuff, so don’t worry about it. It’s kind of a thing he does to make him relax. Last year he did it on Hayate but a much cruder joke, he wasn’t impressed.” “I bet he wasn’t.” “Oh yeah! Before I forget I wanted to give you this in the morning but you left early.” Shinji handed Ryusei a very small bag which contained 3 booster packs. “I bought these for you to give you’re Deck a tune-up in-case.” “Shinji! Are you crazy? It’s like 10 minutes before his match starts! He can’t change his Deck now, what…” “Calm down Vanessa” Ryusei interrupted “It’s okay. Thank you Shinji.” “No problem but we should better get going, good luck again Ryusei!” As the trio started to leave Ryusei remembered something and called for Kazuma. “Kazuma” He turned around and asked “What’s up?” “Yuji, what is he like?” “As a duellist or as a person?” “Both.” “As a person he’s almost the perfect role model. Good grades, great personality. He gets on with everyone and likes to help people in any way possible.” “So a real person of the people is he?” “You could say that, as a duellist, he’s highly skilled of course, but what makes him different is that he makes you…repetitive.” “What do you mean?” “You will know when you duel him, all the best man.” Kazuma replied as he walked to join Vanessa and Shinji in the stadium. Before Ryusei left he opened the 3 packs that he got from Shinji. As he examined all the cards he picked out 3 cards and read them carefully as an idea went through his head. Ryusei: (“Interesting.”) Inside the stadium the announcer took the field with the microphone and shouted “All Righty! Are you all ready for the next match?!” The crowd made a huge cheer in response. Elsewhere Yuri was going up some stairs and entered the VIP area. It was a large, immaculate room, with beige walls and four brown leather sofas in the room. There was a plasma screen TV at the front to watch the duel and a minibar at the back. He noticed Tasuku and Hayate sitting at different sofas, both with a bottle of beer in front of them on their respective tables. “Is the match about to start?” Yuri asked as he went to the minibar to get something for himself. “Yeah, so hurry up if you don’t wanna miss anything.” Tasuku said. Yuri got his drink and sat down on another sofa. “What happened to that girl?” Hayate said as he took a swig of his beer. “What girl?” Yuri said pretending to not know what he’s talking about. “I saw you talking to that girl and pointing here, so I’m assuming you were inviting her here.” “Maybe, maybe not.” “He got rejected.” Tasuku declared. “Piss off!” Yuri snapped back while Tasuku and Hayate laughed at him. “Anyway, looks like it’s gonna start, and will end with a Yuji victory.” Hayate smirked. On the duel field the announcer had just announced both duellists as they both ascended onto the field. Due to the status of Yuji most of the crowd were supporting him, Cheers from Domino East for Ryusei was easily stifled by the support for Yuji. “I never knew Yuji was so popular here” Vanessa said in surprise. “Well he’s a fan favourite, he has a lot of respect among his peers, compared to Ryusei who is a complete unknown.” Kazuma replied. The two walked to each other and gave their Decks to be shuffled. “Sorry about before, it’s kind of a ritual of mine to have a little fun before a big duel.” Yuji said. “Yeah, so I’ve heard, but no worries, all the best out there.” Ryusei replied smiling. “You too.” The pair got their Decks back, shook hands and went to their respective places. As they inserted their Decks into their Duel Disks the announcer shouted, “ALL RIGHTY THEN! LET THE DUEL COMMENCE!” Both players then activated their Duel Disks and shouted “Duel!” LP (Yuji-4000/Ryusei-4000) “My turn!” Ryusei declared as he drew his card and examined his hand (Magician’s Valkyria, Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer, Maiden of Macabre, Magic Cylinder, Chaos Command Magician and Enemy Controller). Ryusei: (“Not too bad I guess.”) “I summon Magician’s Valkyria (1600/1800) in defense mode! I set a card face-down and end my turn.” Ryusei: (“Now, let’s see what kind of Deck Yuji uses.”) “My turn” Yuji declared. “I summon Elemental Hero Prisma (1700/1100) in attack mode!” A crystalline human-shaped monster appeared with wings and every part of its body seemed to be a mirror reflecting faces of the crowd. Ryusei: (“Heroes, again?”) “Does Yuji also use Heroes?” Shinji asked. Kazuma just chuckled and said “Not quite.” “Now I’ll use Prisma’s ability so listen up as it’s a bit long. First, I reveal to you a Fusion Monster of mine” Yuji then showed Ryusei, Black Skull Dragon (3200/2500). “Then I can send one of the Fusion Material Monsters form my Deck to the Graveyard.” Yuji selected Red Eyes Black Dragon and sent it to the Graveyard. “Finally my Prisma gets the same name as the monster I just sent until the end of this turn.” The monster started to glow rainbow colours before morphing into a large black dragon with vicious red eyes. “Hmm, Red Eyes Black Dragon, that’s quite the monster.” Ryusei said. “That it is, it’s also my favourite monster.” Yuji said smiling “However, it seems Prisma keeps its original ATK despite its effect, so it’s still not strong enough to destroy my Valkyria.” “I don’t need to as I play Inferno Fire Blast!” “And that does what?” “It’s simple really. If I have a Red Eyes Black Dragon on the field, I can force it not to attack, and in return, you take damage equal to its original attack points.” “Crap.” Ryusei muttered as the dragon to a deep breath and fired a dark red ball of fire which engulfed Ryusei. LP (4000/2300) “He nearly lost half his Life Points on the first turn!” Vanessa said in shock. “I play a face-down and that’s it.” Yuji declared as Prisma returned to its original state. As most of the fans cheered, Ryusei started to realise the extent of Yuji’s status in the university but decided to press on anyway. “My turn then and I’ll release my Valkyria to summon my Chaos Command Magician (2400/1900)! Chaos Command Magician will attack you’re Prisma!” The magician fired a ray of dark energy shattering Prisma. LP (3300/2300) “I end my turn.” “My turn then” Yuji looked at the card and smiled. “I summon Red Eyes Tombkeeper (300/500).” A skeleton warrior appeared with a cape, wielding a spear and wore a mask of a Red Eyes Black Dragon. “I now use it’s effect, By removing this monster from play I’m allowed to Special Summon my Red Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000) back to the field!” the skeleton disintegrated into dust which then swirled into the shape of the dragon and revealed its true form. “I next play Stamping Destruction! If I have a dragon on the field I can destroy a Spell or Trap and deal 500 points of damage!” A large orange dragon’s foot came down and crushed Ryusei’s face-down (Magic Cylinder). LP (3300/1800) “Now Red Eyes, attack his Magician!” “Huh?” Ryusei said in surprised “They just gonna take each other out!” Both monsters were destroyed. “I end my turn with a face-down.” Ryusei: (“There must be an ulterior motive to destroy both monsters like that. Maybe he’s going to try and bring it back. In that case!”) “My turn! I summon Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer (1800/700) in attack mode! Kycoo, attack Yuji directly!” Ryusei’s monster dived forward but Yuji just smiled. “I activate my face-down Call of the Haunted to bring back my Red Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000)!” as the dragon appeared again, Ryusei didn’t react to the play. “I call off my attack. I set a face-down and end my turn.” “Ryusei’s struggling out there.” Shinji said with worry. “I know” Vanessa replied quietly. In the Domino West section Ayaka looked was looking on with unease. Ayaka: (“Come on, Ryusei.”) “My turn then Ryusei, and I’ll activate my other face-down Metalmorph and equip it to my Red Eyes giving it a 300 point boost (2700/2300). Red Eyes attacks Kycoo!” “I activate Enemy Controller to shift you’re Red Eyes into defense mode!” “Hmm, good move, well then I’ll send my Red Eyes with Metalmorph to the Graveyard.” “Why?” Ryusei asked, thinking what his plan is. “So then I can summon Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon (2800/2400) from my Deck!” Another dragon appeared. It was very similar to the original Red Eyes but it had a metallic body and robotic red eyes. “Turn end.” Ryusei: (“I gotta get back into this somehow!”) He drew his card silently and noticed this is his way back in. “I play Magical Dimension so if I have a Spellcaster I can release a monster to summon a Spellcaster from my hand so I release Kycoo to summon Maiden of Macabre (1700/0)! Also as a bonus I can destroy a monster on the field so your Red Eyes is history!” Yuji’s monster exploded from the blast received from Ryusei’s spell. “Maiden, direct attack!” She charged forward and slashed Yuji forcing him backwards. LP (1600/1800) “I end my turn.” Domino East fans started cheering for Ryusei but the rest of the crowd got jealous. So chanting for Yuji started again quickly stifling the Domino East supporters. “Not bad Ryusei.” Yuji said as he drew his card. “I’ll play Exploder Dragon (1000/0)!” A blue dragon with appeared, holding a black/orange spiked cannonball. “Attack his Maiden with Cannonball Crash!” “Why is he attacking?!” Shinji exclaimed “If anything it helps Ryusei’s Maiden!” The dragon flew towards the Maiden who slashed it with her axe. As the dragon exploded the cannonball landed on the Maiden and exploded, destroying Ryusei’s monster. “What the hell?” Ryusei shouted as he held his arms up to protect himself from the blast. “Exploder Dragon takes no Battle Damage when it attacks and if it’s destroyed by battle, the monster responsible for it gets destroyed also.” “Nicely done.” “I end my turn.” “It seems Ryusei is hanging on.” Tasuku said as he had a drink. “Yeah but for how much longer?” Yuri replied. “Not much longer, especially if Yuji gets his best monster out.” Hayate gloated as he took a sip of his beer. Up on the higher terrace the girl was still standing at the entrance watching the duel. Her eyes remaining focused on Ryusei. “My turn, I set a monster face-down and end my turn.” “Is that it? Ryusei had an open field!” Vanessa said in frustration “There may be more to it than that, Vanessa” Kazuma replied. “All right then, I summon Masked Dragon (1400/1100) in attack mode and use it to attack your monster!” The monster breathed some fire which burned Ryusei’s monster. “Unfortunately, you attacked my Old Vindictive Magician, and when he’s flipped he destroys a monster on your side!” The magician fired a purple ray shattering the dragon before it was destroyed. “I play a face-down and end my turn.” “My turn and I play Pot of Greed, drawing two cards.” He saw one of the cards that came from Shinji’s pack. Ryusei: (“I’ll save this for later”) I discard a card (Double Spell) to the graveyard to Special Summon The Tricky (2000/1200)! Attack him directly!” “I activate Compulsory Evacuation Device which returns the monster to your hand!” Ryusei wasn’t bothered with the play and continued “I set a face-down monster and end my turn.” “My turn and I play Summoner’s Art which allows me to add a Level 5 or higher Normal Monster from my Deck to my hand; I think you can guess which one right?” Yuji asked. “Red Eyes Black Dragon” Ryusei said coldly. “No need to be that like that man! Anyway I play Graceful Charity drawing three cards and discarding two (Red Eyes Black Dragon and Dark Hex Sealed Fusion) and then activate Dragon’s Mirror!” “Great!” Ryusei said sarcastically. “By removing from play my Red Eyes Black Dragon and Dark Hex Sealed Fusion as a substitute for Summoned Skull I can now summon Black Skull Dragon (3200/2500)!” A large blue dragon appeared, wearing skeleton armour on parts of his body. It gave a large roar as Ryusei looked up to it. “Black Skull Dragon attacks your monster!” it fired multiple balls of fire destroying Apprentice Magician. “My Apprentice allows me to Special Summon a level 2 or lower, Spellcaster from my Deck to the field in face-down defense, so I choose Crystal Seer (100/100)!” “I set a face-down and end my turn.” “Come on, Ryusei, don’t give up” Vanessa said quietly, with real concern in her voice as the chants for Yuji grew louder and louder. Ryusei drew his card and didn’t get what he hoped but he decided to take a risk. “I flip my Crystal Seer, allowing me to pick the top two cards from my Deck. I can then add one to my hand and put the other to the bottom.” He picked his two cards and got Defense Wizard and Cybernetic Magician. He smiled at his Cybernetic Magician as it always comes when he needs him. He continued by returning Defense Wizard to the Deck. “I release my monster to summon Cybernetic Magician (2400/1000)!” As it descended onto the field, Yuji looked at it with intrigue. “Cybernetic Magician, so this is your ace card.” Yuji said intriguingly. “Indeed it is and I’ll activate its effect of discarding a card (The Tricky) to make a monster’s attack fixed at 2000, I choose your Black Skull Dragon (2000/2500)! Cybernetic Magician attack Black Skull Dragon, Light Cyber Blast!” The magician fired a blast of bright light causing the dragon to explode. Yuji put his arms up to protect himself. (1200/1800) “All right, Ryusei!” Shinji cheered, as Kazuma smiled. “I set a card face-down and end my turn.” In the ‘Viewing Room’ Kasumi was sitting on her own watching the duel silently with her arms folded. Kasumi: (“Yuji. Stop messing around and win this match already.”) “Well played, I must admit I didn’t expect you to take out my monster like that but anyway.” Yuji drew his card “I play Pot of Greed allowing me to draw two cards and then I activate Swing of Memories allowing me to summon a Normal Monster from the Graveyard like my Red Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000)!” Ryusei: (“This must be what Kazuma meant by repetitive, no matter how many times I take it down it keeps coming back. It feels like a never-ending cycle, but one I have to break if I want to win!”) The two monsters gave each other serious glares as they prepared to clash. “How about that, our two aces going head-to-head.” “Very true” Ryusei smiled. “Now unfortunately my Swing will destroy my Red Eyes this turn but I don’t want it to go alone so Red Eyes, attack Cybernetic Magician with Inferno Fire Blast!” As Red Eyes fired its shot, Cybernetic retaliated with its own attack and both monsters were destroyed in a huge explosion. “Seems now they are both gone.” Ryusei said as the smoke cleared. “Not exactly, I activate my face-down, Birthright! This allows me to Special Summon a Normal Monster from my Graveyard to the field so come back Red Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000)!” “Why am I not surprised?” Ryusei asked in a tiresome manner. “Don’t worry Ryusei it seems this will be the last time as you’re open now.” “That’s where you’re wrong. Because of your Trap Card I can activate my face-down, Magical Starsign!” “What’s that?” “When you Special Summon a Monster I can remove from play a monster from my Graveyard to Special Summon a Spellcaster from my Graveyard so be reborn, Cybernetic Magician (2400/1000)!” Crystal Seer disintegrated and many stars appeared on the field swirling to form the shape of Cybernetic Magician. Ryusei: (“Thanks for that one Shinji.”) “Huh. Nice move, I end my turn with a face-down.” Ryusei: (“This is my chance to get rid of Red Eyes!”) “My turn” Ryusei drew his card and noticed it was another card that came from the booster packs. Since he couldn’t use the card now, he decided to press on with his original plan. “I discard a card to make your Red Eyes attack limited to 2000! Cybernetic Magician attack!” “Sorry Ryusei but I can’t have you destroying my Red Eyes so I reveal my face-down Dimensional Prison, which removes the attacking monster from play!” “What?!” Ryusei said in complete shock as he saw his Magician get warped from the field. “That’s…pretty bad actually.” Kazuma said. “How’s he gonna win without his best monster?” Vanessa asked. “I have absolutely no idea.” Shinji answered in a very quiet manner. Ayaka looked on with more concern on her face while in the VIP room Hayate just smiled. “So long Ryusei.” Ryusei remained calm and said “I’ll play a face-down monster and end my turn.” “Unlucky Ryusei, but it’s my turn and I’ll play Dragon’s Gunfire! This inflicts 800 points of damage to you!” (1200/1000) “Next I will release my Red Eyes Black Dragon to summon Red Eyes Darkness Dragon (2400/2000)!” A larger Red Eyes monster appeared with a spikier body, two more sets of wings and burning eyes of hatred. “My Darkness Dragon likes to take revenge for its fallen comrades. So it gets 300 extra ATK for each Dragon in my Graveyard.” “Wait a minute…” “With four dragons in my Graveyard my Darkness gains an extra 1200 points (3600/2000)!” Ryusei just looked sternly at Yuji, thinking he is in major trouble. “Red Eyes Darkness Dragon, Inferno Darkfire!” The dragon fired an almighty blast of black and red fire vaporising Ryusei’s Unhappy Maiden (0/100). “I end my turn.” Ryusei just looked at the dragon as it stared back deeply into his eyes. As most of the crowd was cheering for Yuji’s victory, the Domino East fans started turning against Ryusei and booing him, to the dismay of Kazuma and Shinji. “This is not fair, he’s doing his best!” Shinji said. “I know Shinji, but looking at the field, Ryusei has an empty field and no hand, this duel seems to be over.” She said with a hint of sorrow. “I’m surprised at you Vanessa; I thought you would have more faith.” Kazuma announced which startled Vanessa. “I faced Ryusei myself and I know he’s not the kind of guy that will give up even if the odds are stacked against him. Even if he knows he can’t win he will go down fighting.” This cheered up Vanessa a little but she was still filled with worry, doubting herself in whether she did the right thing by forcing him into this tournament. Elsewhere in the VIP room the people up there were smiling at Ryusei’s demise. While the girl watching still had her eyes fixed on Ryusei, wondering how is he going to get out of this. “Something wrong?” Yuji asked as it seemed Ryusei had completely zoned out. “No,” Ryusei replied “I’m just thinking what an excellent duel it’s been; you really are one hell of an opponent.” “I try I guess, but I have to say that you’re a lot better than I heard you were. But what’s with all this talk, are you giving up or something?” Ryusei put his fingers on his Deck ready to draw his card “Does this answer you’re question?” Ryusei: (“This is my final move, so I better make this count!”) “My turn!” Ryusei drew his card and got Pot of Avarice. “I play Pot of Avarice! By returning 5 Monsters (Kycoo, Maiden of Macabre, Chaos Command, Cybernetic Magician and Magician’s Valkyria) from my Graveyard to the Deck I can then draw two cards!” Ryusei shuffled his deck, paused for a moment and drew his two cards. As he looked at the cards he remembered one of the cards he discarded previously was one of Shinji’s cards. So he had an idea. Ryusei: (“Looks like you helped me again. Thanks Shinji.”) “I summon Magical Exemplar (1700/1400) in attack mode!” A black haired woman with a green robe, with incantation symbols appeared, wearing jewellery on head, neck and hands. “Next I activate Premature Burial. By paying 800 points I can summon a monster from my Graveyard in attack mode so I choose The Unhappy Maiden (0/100).” LP (1200/200) “Is he nuts?” Yuri said while laughing while Hayate was wondering what his plan was. “Since I played a spell my Exempler gains two Spell Counters. Next I activate my Exemplar’s effect. I can remove counters off her to Special Summon a Spellcaster from my hand or Graveyard whose level is equal to the counters removed. So I remove both counters to summon from my Graveyard, Tuner monster Frequency Magician (800/400)!” A man appeared dress is white with a blue cape. He wore a tall white hat and had devices attached to his hands emitting radio waves. The summoning of this monster caused surprise and murmurs from the crowd. “A Tuner? No way!” Vanessa said in astonishment. “Does Ryusei even have any Synchro Monsters?” Kazuma asked. “Not do I know of!” Shinji said still in shock “What the hell?” Hayate said to himself. “Let’s go!” Ryusei announced. The tuner increased the frequency which caused the monster to glow and turn into 2 green rings. “I tune my Frequency Magician, with my Magical Exempler and my Unhappy Maiden!” The rings descended on Ryusei’s remaining monsters changing them into five bright stars. A bright pillar of light descended onto the field afterwards. “Synchro Summon! Show yourself, Arcanite Magician (400/1800)!” A magician wearing a white hat and uniform with a Dark Magician style staff came on to the field. As it descended on to the field the crowd were surprised and confused at the monster’s points. “What a waste!” Hayate declared “He went through all that just to summon a weakling!” “That’s a pretty cool monster Ryusei, has it got any tricks?” Yuji asked jokingly. “When my monster is successfully Synchro Summoned it receives two Spell Counters and it gains 1000ATK for each counter!” Two bright yellow balls went inside of the magician giving it more power (Arcanite-2400/1800). “Even though that’s a powerful effect, it’s still not enough to beat Yuji’s monster.” Vanessa said. “Unless…” Shinji said excitedly. Ryusei gave a little smile “I activate Arcanite’s second effect! By removing one Spell Counter on the field, I can destroy a card you control!” “No way!” Tasuku said in disbelief. A yellow ball left Arcanite and went into its staff, which in turn, fired a blue energy blast destroying Darkness Dragon. Yuji just gently closed his eyes after the destruction of his dragon. “Arcanite Magician (1400/800)! Attack Yuji directly!” Arcanite charged forward and swiped Yuji with his staff who went down to one knee. LP (0/200) The crowd were silent in amazement of what just happened. Everyone just looked with their mouths open in disbelief. The announcer ran onto the field and shouted to break the silence. “The match is over! Your winner is Ryusei Fujiwara!” Hayate got up and kicked the wall in frustration, and then the Domino East fans started to cheer. “Yeah, Way to go Ryusei!” Vanessa shouted. “All right Ryusei!” Shinji followed. Girl: (“Well done Ryusei, an impressive win.”) The girl then turned and left the stadium. At the same time Yuji got up and went over to Ryusei to shake his hand. “That was an awesome duel Ryusei!” “Right back at you,” “I wish you luck for you’re next match, take care.” Yuji left the field as the Domino East fans started chanting Ryusei’s name. In the viewing room Kasumi was watching the duel. Her eyes were widened as she could not believe Yuji lost. However when the screen showed Ryusei’s face her eyes then turned very serious and focused on him. Kasumi: (“Ryusei. So you’re my next opponent. Unfortunately for you you’re run ends here.”) End Of Chapter. Preview: Approaching the duel of the next round Kasumi prepares for her match with Ryusei. As Yuji talks to Kasumi about how she is today, she remembers the past she tried to block out, and the day which shaped her to become the person she is today. She starts her duel with Ryusei who senses something different compared to the first match. Chapter 12-Origins of a Black Heart!

Enjoy Chapter 12! Location: Domino Town Centre The time was 6:56pm. The sun was close to setting, turning the horizon to a dull orange, merging into the darkness of the night sky. Inside one of the many restaurants in the town was Kasumi. The restaurant was quite small with a contemporary look to it. There were about eight tables for two set around the main floor, with wooden chairs at each table. At the service counter were four stools for people to eat, just in case the other tables were full. Kasumi was sitting on one of the stools eating her meal with her sea blue jacket lying on the stool next to her. She ate the last of her fried rice and wiped her mouth with a serviette. She then got up, picked up her jacket and went for her purse. She took some money out and left it on the counter in front of the owner as payment. The owner smiled and said goodbye to her as she walked out of the restaurant. As she went outside she felt a sharp wind blow so she decided to put her jacket on. While doing this a generally attractive guy noticed Kasumi and walked up to her. He was about to say something but Kasumi gave him an ice cold glare scaring the guy off. She gently shook her head and was about to walk off but she then felt a gentle tap on her right shoulder. She looked sharply to her right and saw no-one nearby. Starting to feel frustrated she looked sharply to her left. This time she saw Yuji there, hands in his pockets looking at the orange skyline. She calmed down after seeing him and said. “Oh, it’s you.” “I thought you would be back in your dorm, not hanging around here.” Yuji replied. “I didn’t feel like going back, plus the next match will be on soon.” “Ah yes, the next match, are you looking forward to it?” Yuji asked leaning closer and closer to Kasumi. She then put her hand on Yuji’s face and pushed it away saying, “I don’t look forward to duels.” “Well you should, there is no harm in enjoying a duel you know.” “Did you enjoy losing today?” Kasumi asked coldly. She glared at him, expecting an answer to what happened earlier on. Yuji just shrugged his shoulders. “What can I say? It happens I guess.” Kasumi gently shook her head in disappointment to the response “You’re too soft Yuji, how can you get to where you want to be when you keep holding back?” “What do you mean by that?” “It means exactly what I said. You hold back and let other people walk over you to reach their goals, and then you end up going nowhere.” Yuji’s face then turned slightly serious in reaction to what Kasumi said. “You probably have a reason for letting this happen, but you need to ask yourself is what you’re doing really worth sacrificing your own ambitions.” She continued and then started to walk away. “Where are you going?” Yuji asked surprisingly. “Somewhere” “Come and have a drink with me first. It’s been a while since we had the chance to catch up.” “Yuji…” “Come on!” Yuji interrupted “I’m interested to hear more of your analysis of me. Unless you’re worried you will hurt my feelings.” “I’m not worried about that.” “Well then you have no reason to object.” Kasumi turned around, almost hesitant to accept Yuji’s request but answered “One drink.” Chapter 12-Origins Of A Black Heart! Location: Kaiba Dome Outside the Kaiba Dome Hayate was on his cell phone, finishing a conversation he was having with someone. “Yeah okay” he chuckled “Well I have to go now so take care of yourself and I’ll see you next weekend okay? I love you too Mum, bye.” As he hanged up the phone he heard a girl’s voice saying “So you do have a nice side after all.” Hayate turned to his left in frustration to see it was Ayaka who said that. “Were you listening?!” Hayate asked angrily. “Of course not! Eavesdropping is very rude you know.” She answered in an innocent manner despite being far from it. Hayate just ignored her and started texting on his phone. During the whole time of him texting, Ayaka didn’t take her eyes off Hayate. She stared at him, puzzled, yet curious. Hayate could feel Ayaka’s eyes burning on his person so when he finished sending his message he snapped. “What is it?!” “Hmm?” she responded calmly. “Why do you keep staring at me like that?!” “I’m just surprised that’s all.” “Surprised at what?” he asked, irritated by Ayaka’s roundabout responses. “At you.” “Why?” “Well, I’ve known you for over a year now and I’ve never heard you speak so nicely to another person.” “Really?” he said in a tone which was sarcastic and yet disinterested. “It’s true, it’s never happened. Of course sweet talking girls don’t count as you’re getting something at the end of it. So I’m wondering who you were talking to that deserves to hear that nice, sweet Hayate that I didn’t know existed.” “None of your business!” Hayate snapped, but it did not deter Ayaka who pressed on. “Is it a girlfriend perhaps? Best friend? Or maybe family like a sister? Or you’re mother?” Hayate eyes slightly widened when Ayaka mentioned mother. She realised that she got her answer at that point. “I see.” She said intriguingly. “So are you close to you’re Mum?” “Maybe.” Hayate answered in a stubborn fashion, folding his arms at the same time. “I’ll take that as a yes then.” “Isn’t there someone else you can interrogate?” “No. My taxi is picking me up from here so I guess you will have to do.” She answered smiling. Soon after, the sun finished setting and it was night. The temperature suddenly dropped a little. As the chill began to set in Ayaka folded her arms into her body, in an attempt to stave off the cold. “You really should have brought a jacket” Hayate smirked. “Thanks for stating the obvious.” She started to rub her arms in a feeble attempt to stay warm. Hayate sighed and reluctantly took off his blazer and held it out to her. Ayaka looked at him in surprise of the gesture. “Take it before I change my mind.” He warned. She took the blazer from him and put it on, “Thank you” she softly said. “Don’t mention it.” Location: Domino Town Centre Kasumi and Yuji walked into a quiet bar. As they approached the counter Yuji asked Kasumi what she wanted to drink. “Water” she answered. “Water? Why do you have to be so boring?” Kasumi scowled at him so Yuji put his arms up in apologetic fashion. “Fine! Whatever you say, a water and a coke please?” Yuji asked the barman. “And you’re saying that I’m boring?” Kasumi questioned, due to Yuji’s choice. “Have to take a little ride on my bike later, so nothing strong tonight.” They received their drinks as Yuji paid for them. They went to a table at the right corner of the bar and sat down, sitting across each other. Kasumi folded her arms looking at Yuji as he sipped his drink. “What do you want Yuji?” she asked callously. “What do you mean?” “Why are you doing this?” “Do you really have to ask?” Kasumi continued to stare at Yuji, which basically answered the question. So Yuji continued. “Well it’s like I said earlier. It’s been ages since we hanged out due to whatever reason. So I thought this was a chance I should take to just spend some time together you know, even if it’s for a little while. That’s all.” Kasumi sighed and relaxed a little more. “I apologise” she said softly as she took a sip of her water. “Don’t worry about it. Besides, I’m used to it now.” “Used to what?” “You being like this.” “I’m not being like anything.” “Yeah right!” Yuji chuckled. “You’ve always been like this!” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “Come on Kasumi, you must know. The cold stares, the harsh comments, the brutal duelling.” “So?” she said as she was about to take another sip of her drink. “So…you act like you hate the world or something.” “I don’t. I just hate some of the things in it.” “Who doesn’t? But with you…it feels like that you’ve been permanently scorned by something.” Kasumi then suddenly froze as an image of a woman flashed in front of her eyes, just when the glass was about to reach her lips. Yuji realised at this point that maybe he was on the right track. “Or maybe by someone…” “Yuji.” Kasumi said in a tone saying to leave the subject alone. “Therefore, you take it out on the rest of us as a way of dealing with it…” “Yuji please.” she said again putting her glass down in annoyance of his persistence. “But it doesn’t have to be that way; I can help if you tell me…” “Just stop!” she snapped. Yuji then stopped, surprised by her reaction. “Just stop Yuji.” She then got up and was about to leave until Yuji grabbed her arm. She turned to face Yuji as he got up. He said in a gentle tone. “I’m sorry…I was just trying to help…I didn’t mean to hurt you.” As he said this, Yuji placed his other hand on Kasumi’s cheek. For a brief moment Kasumi liked the warm feeling of Yuji’s hand and she placed her hand on top of Yuji’s hand on the cheek, but then replied. “I know…I have to go.” She took Yuji’s hand off her cheek. She then proceeded to walk out of the bar as Yuji let go of her arm. As she left the bar she walked around for a while before arriving at a small park. She sat down on the park bench with her head down and hands clasped together. Kasumi: (“Yuji, you idiot. I had almost forgotten about my past but you had to go and drag it all back up again. So yes, I was permanently scorned by someone and it’s someone who I will hate for the rest of my life.”) As she raised her head and looked up to the stars of the night sky, she started to recall memories of her past. FLASHBACK-8 years ago It was a mild but cloudy day in the morning in East Tokyo. Walking on her way to school was a young girl, who was about 11 years old. She had soft, caring brown eyes and long, tied, silky black hair reaching her middle back. She was a wearing a school uniform of a white t-shirt, grey skirt, grey tights and black shoes. However the uniform itself was not in great condition. There were holes in the skirt and tights and her shoes looked old and worn out. She walked with her head down and a face which expressed pain and sorrow, until she heard a voice. “Kasumi!” a girl called out. She lifted her head up in surprise to her name being called and she saw another girl walking towards her, waving and smiling. She had short wavy orange hair, and had sky blue eyes. She was wearing the same uniform as Kasumi was but her uniform was in pristine condition. As Kasumi saw her she put on a fake smile “Hi Hinata!” she responded. “Hi! Are you ready for school?” she said in a joyful manner. Kasumi smile disappeared and she then looked to one side. “I…guess” “Huh? What’s with that attitude Kasumi? You should be happy!” “I suppose so” She said quietly, unbeknownst to Hinata that she has been having a few problems with a few of the older students. Hinata looked up and down Kasumi, checking out the uniform she was wearing. “You’re Mum still hasn’t got a new uniform for you?” Hinata asked. She gently shook her head to answer the question but continued with a smile “But she promised me that she will get me one soon.” “Okay. Shall we get going?” Kasumi nodded as the two girls started to walk towards school. It was late afternoon with the clouds looking slightly more menacing than earlier. Kasumi was walking back from school after it had finished about half an hour ago. As usual, she took a shortcut to her house by going walking through the local park. As she did this she noticed three girls in the older years from her school. She tried to quickly walk pass them but they saw her and started their taunting. “Well if it isn’t Dirty K.” a girl said. “You’re clothes are literally so…last year.” Another girl sniggered. The third one was about to attempt to steal Kasumi’s bag but one of them said, “Don’t touch her! You may catch something; I heard she sleeps with rats.” Kasumi then quickly ran off, holding back her tears as much as she could as the girls mockingly laughed. A now depressed Kasumi was walking down a street in a residential area. As she was walking past the houses in the area her eyes caught on something. Outside one of the terraced houses was a blue saloon car. As she continued looking she recognised the car and her face beamed with excitement. Kasumi: (“Aunty is here!”) She quickly ran towards the house that the car was parked in front of. She raced up the little steps towards the house and was going to knock on the door but when her hand touched it the door moved slightly, it was unlocked. She opened the door and went inside. The front room was small and bland. It was decorated with brown wallpaper and brown carpets with an equally bland sofa. A small TV was set up in the corner and next to the sofa was a table which had a small number of beer bottles sitting on it, a usual sight for Kasumi. There was no-one currently in the front room but she then heard voices in the kitchen. She crept up to the kitchen door, opened it slightly ajar and peeked in. She saw two women standing inside; they looked very similar in terms of looks and ages, around 30 years or so. Both were attractive with brown eyes and silky black hair but one of the women looked a bit worse for wear. One of them had her hair cut to shoulder length. She was wearing a beige coloured jumper with beige trousers and white shoes. The one who was worse for wear wore her hair down and reached her mid-back. She was wearing a black t-shirt underneath a denim blue jacket, old blue jeans and trainers. The two of them were talking but there was a sense of animosity in the conversation. “I don’t understand Reina, why not?” the woman in beige asked in a frustrating manner. “Because I said so, that’s why.” Reina replied. The other woman shook her head in disgust and disappointment. “What you’re doing is wrong and you know it!” “So you came all this way to lecture me is that it?” “No Reina! You’re spiralling out of control, and you won’t let me help you!” “So you’re way of helping is taking my daughter off me? So you can show me up right? Show to the rest of the family how the great Saika can never do wrong?!” “No! This is not about that at all!” “Really?! Whatever you say Saika, but me and Kasumi are happy with the way things are so just do me a favour and leave!” Saika shook her head in great disappointment. “How you can be happy when you are such a selfish person? You’ve never think about anyone but yourself and it’s killing your daughter!” “Maybe I am selfish, but do you want to know why Saika?! Because I WAS happy! I was so happy until Kasumi came onto the scene!” “She’s your daughter!!” “She was a mistake!” Kasumi’s eyes widened in horror, her body completely frozen from the comment. “What did you say?!” Saika asked angrily. Reina just ignored her and went to the fridge to take out a bottle of beer. Before she could open it Saika snatched the bottle from her. “How can you even say that?! She is your daughter!! Your own flesh and blood!!” Realising what she said Reina then felt a little regret and calmed down. Saika put the bottle down on the kitchen surface and took a few steps closer to Reina. She then placed her arm on her shoulder saying calmly. “I understand the pain you went through when Shiro left. But this is your daughter we are talking about. She doesn’t deserve this. You as her mother should know that.” “I do. But you don’t understand Saika, every time I see her face, I see him, and she’s the reason why he left me.” “But Reina” “But nothing, I do my love my daughter Saika, I do. But not in the way that a mother should.” After that comment the kitchen door was closed shut, both women looked at the door and then heard the front door slam. Saika knew who it was but went to see to make sure. Reina however, just picked up her beer, opened it and started drinking. Saika went out of the front door and saw Kasumi sitting at the bottom of the steps with her head down. She went down the steps and sat next to her. “Kasumi?” she called quietly, she put her hand on her shoulder but she shrugged it off, looking the other direction. “Look Kasumi, your Mum…she didn’t mean those things, you know that right?” she said in a gentle manner. “Mum hates me, she always has done.” Kasumi replied, her voice breaking mid-sentence. “No, she doesn’t. She was just angry at me and said things to upset me, your Mum loves you and will always love you.” Kasumi then turned to face Saika. Saika felt distraught to see her niece so upset with tears flowing like a stream down her face. “Then why Aunty? Why does it feel like she hates me?” a broken Kasumi asked. Saika then hugged her as she broke down crying, while Reina watched them through the window. “Hey.” A male voice said. As Kasumi focused herself and looked ahead she saw Yuji standing in front of her. He went and sat down next to her on the bench. “Are you okay?” he asked, concerned due to what happened earlier. “I’m fine, Yuji” she replied. Yuji moved a little closer and put his arm around Kasumi and said “Look Kasumi, I’m not forcing you or anything, but I can tell you’re upset about something. So if you want to talk about it, then I’m here.” Kasumi was defensive at first, keeping silent despite what Yuji said. But when she looked deeply into his eyes she felt a strong sense of trust in him. Therefore, she opened up and said to him. “A person in my past broke my heart and I’ve never been able to forgive her, to this day.” “Who did?” Yuji asked, almost afraid of the answer. “My mother” Location: Domino Town Centre In the town centre Ryusei, Shinji and Vanessa were in the same small restaurant, sitting on the stools having some ramen. “Has Kazuma gone now?” Ryusei asked. “Yeah, he’s probably be boarding quite soon.” Vanessa answered “But anyway, how about your duel earlier today? That was an impressive last turn!” “It wasn’t too bad I guess.” Ryusei answered as he took another mouthful. “You should really give yourself more credit Ryusei.” Shinji said “Not many people can pull something like that out of the bag.” “Well if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have made it through that duel, so thanks again Shinji.” “That is very true but now you have to deal with Kasumi, which will be very hard.” Vanessa said. “She seems very strong, and her Judgment Dragon is very powerful.” Shinji continued. “I already know how to deal with that card.” Ryusei replied, almost not bothered with their concerns. Shinji and Vanessa’s eyes widened in surprised to Ryusei’s answer. “How?!” they both asked intriguingly. “Wait and see.” Ryusei answered as he continued eating his meal. Location: Kaiba Dome Hayate was still outside talking with Ayaka in a much calmer state than earlier on. “Really?” Ayaka asked. “That’s how it is. Dad is more of a teacher than a parent. Always testing me, advising me and all that. He wants me to be the next big thing in the business world, following his successes and my grandfather’s.” “Is that something you really want?” Hayate deeply sighed, expressing his doubt “To be honest I don’t know. I’ve always seen myself being involved in business one way or another. However, I feel there’s too much pressure on me. I would prefer it if my father backed off and let me make my own mistakes. Instead he scrutinises every decision I make, and always in a negative manner. He even doubted this tournament when I ran the idea past him.” “Why?” “Didn’t think it was practical enough, and that I wouldn’t make a big enough return of profit from the idea so it would be pointless. So I did it anyway, mainly to prove him wrong. If however, I have made a mistake from doing this, then I learn from it.” Ayaka softly smiled at him, and was a little surprised learning about Hayate and his home life. “So what about you?” “Well, I am the youngest of three sisters. The one above me is currently studying abroad in America, the eldest one is a businesswoman in Osaka.” “I’m guessing you don’t get to see them often.” Ayaka nodded to answer Hayate’s statement “I don’t really mind as we always get together in the holidays. However, my eldest sister has been coming less and less.” “Well if she is good at what she does then she won’t get much time off in business.” “I know that, but I feel that there is more to it. For some reason it feels like we have drifted apart, especially this past year.” “Why?” Ayaka paused for a while, desperately thinking for an answer to what possibly could have happened. As she struggled to think she suddenly heard a car horn beep. As she looked up she saw that her taxi was here. “Looks like I have to go.” She was about to take the jacket off and give it back to Hayate but he put his hand up to stop her. “Keep it.” Ayaka gave a little smile as she walked over to her taxi and got in. The taxi drove out of the stadium, heading west. Back at the park, Kasumi and Yuji were still sitting at the bench, talking. “Your mother?” Yuji asked in disbelief. “Yes.” “But why?” Kasumi stayed silent as another memory came into mind. FLASHBACK-5 years ago A slightly older Kasumi now at 14 was standing outside her school. It was just her second week into the new school year and she was already looking depressed and reserved. She took a deep breath and walked towards the school as the bell rang. As she opened her bag to take a few books out a hand came down and slapped the books, causing them to fall on to the floor. A group of girls started laughing as this happened. As Kasumi was picking up her books one of the girls kicked a book down the hall. She and her friends then walked away, laughing, while a tiresome looking Kasumi went down the hall to get her book. It was around 2pm. Kasumi was sitting right in the middle of the classroom, paying dutiful attention to what the teacher was saying. This continued for a short while until there was a knock on the classroom door. An older woman, with short black hair and glasses, wearing a green suit opened the door. She was the headmistress of the school. “Sorry to interrupt, but can I speak to Kasumi for a moment?” she asked. The teacher obliged as Kasumi got up from her seat and went out of the classroom. She followed the headmistress to her office thinking that she may be in trouble over something. As they reached the office the headmistress entered first. It was a medium sized office with a professional look to it. Photos of staff and certificates of excellence were framed and hanging on walls around the place. At the back was a desk full of neatly piled folders, a computer on the left and a large black chair tucked underneath. As she went to her chair Kasumi shortly followed afterwards. She then noticed sitting on the other side if the desk was her Aunty Saika. “Aunty?” Kasumi said, surprised to see her here. Saika turned to look at Kasumi with a brave face on. “Kasumi” she replied. She got up from her chair and asked Kasumi to sit down. Kasumi went and sat down as Saika knelt down so they were eye to eye. “Am I in trouble or something?” Kasumi asked worryingly. “Not at all” The headmistress said, she hesitated slightly but continued in saying “It’s just your aunty has something to tell you.” “What is it?” she asked looking at her aunt. Saika paused for a while, summoning some courage before saying “It’s about your mother.” “What about her?” “She…was unwell today and…had to go to the hospital…and she…” “She’s okay isn’t she? Saika was desperately trying to hold back her tears as she said. “There were complications…and the doctors did everything they could, but…” With tears filling up her eyes, Kasumi shook her head in denial saying “No…no” “I’m sorry.” Saika said while her voice breaking as tears fell down her face. Kasumi was completely distraught and started screaming loudly, which was heard in some of the classrooms. Saika went and hugged Kasumi tightly as she broke down crying. “Kasumi?” Yuji asked, as Kasumi’s mind was elsewhere, she then remembered Yuji’s question and replied with, “Because she wasn’t a mother, the only thing we had together is that we shared the same blood.” “But…” “She was a woman who hated me.” Yuji was really surprised as he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “In my years at school, I was bullied and envied for a while because of my looks and kindness. Maybe they thought I was perfect or something but that was not the case. My mother treated me like crap. She chose alcohol over me and for what? Just because my father couldn’t cope with having a kid at a young age so he left.” Yuji didn’t know how to react to this as he’s never seen Kasumi be so open before. “So because my father left, she blamed me for the break up. Hence, the hatred, name calling, verbal abuse, sometimes physical too. She even said that I was a mistake and that she would never love me as a real mother should. The fact is that she wasn’t capable of love. She didn’t love me when I was born and didn’t love me when she died.” As she was saying this a tear dropped from Kasumi’s right eye down her cheek, despite having a cold, expressionless face. “Kasumi…” “So there Yuji, maybe now you can understand why I’m way I am.” “I can never understand the pain that you went through Kasumi. But you don’t have to be the way you are now. You said you were kind and caring in the past. So despite everything that’s happened you can still be that person.” “I can’t. Even if I wanted to, I hate my mother too much. She caused me too much pain and suffering for me to ever forgive her.” “If you can’t forgive her then you will always carry a burdened heart! You will never be able to move on with your life!” “I don’t care. My heart was already blackened by the scars left by my mother. If it stays that way for the rest of my life, so be it.” She wiped the tear, got up from the bench and started to walk away. Yuji got up straight away and called her. “Kasumi!” She stopped and regained her composure, turned around and said coldly “You can’t help me Yuji. I can’t go back to the person I used to be. That person died a long time ago, so the sooner you accept that the better.” Kasumi then turned her back on Yuji and walked away. Location: Kaiba Dome The time was 7:57pm. Everyone had taken to their seats in the stadium, excited about the next duel which was about to begin. Hayate just entered into the VIP room while Tasuku and Yuri was already there watching. “Has it started yet?” He asked as he was just about to take a seat. “The announcer has just brought them in.” Tasuku answered. “Good.” He replied as he sat down and relaxed watching the plasma TV. At the stadium Ryusei and Kasumi just ascended onto the playing field and walked towards each other. They gave each other their Decks and shuffled them. As Kasumi was shuffling the deck, images were going through her head of her past, especially moments when her Mum verbally abused her. “All the best out there.” Ryusei said as he was about to hand Kasumi’s Deck back to her. Instead she snatched it from him and dumped Ryusei’s deck onto his hand. Ryusei just shrugged off what happened and walked to his end of the field. As both duellists reached their spot they inserted their Decks and activated their Duel Disks. “ALL RIGHTY THEN! LET THE DUEL COMMENCE!” the announcer shouted “Duel!” Ryusei and Kasumi shouted to declare the start of the match. LP (Ryusei-4000/Kasumi-4000) “My turn, draw!” Ryusei declared. “I summon Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer (1800/700) in attack mode! I play a card face down and end my turn.” “My turn.” Kasumi said as she drew her card. More images of her past then flooded into her head and she started to grit her teeth in anger. Ryusei noticed this and realised this is a different Kasumi to the one who faced Ayaka. “I summon Jenis, Lightsworn Mender (300/2100) in defense mode.” A red haired woman appeared, wearing a long white and gold dress with a cape, and a gold rod with an emerald top. “Next I play the spell Double Summon, which allows me to summon another monster this turn, so come forth Jain, Lightsworn Paladin (1800/1200)! Jain, attack Kycoo now!” the monster charged forward, shouting in preparation for her attack. “When Jain attacks a monster she gains 300 points in the Damage Step making her attack 2100!” The monster then slashed her sword across Kycoo’s chest causing it to shatter. LP (3700/4000) “I end my turn and in my End Phase, Jain sends the top two cards from my Deck to the Graveyard (Realm of Light, Lyla). But then Jenis’ effect activates. When a Lightsworn monster’s effect sends cards to the Graveyard I can inflict 500 points of damage to you and I gain 500 life points.” Jenis raised her rod above her head as it glowed, and shot out two rays in different directions. One hit Ryusei causing him to flinch and the other softly embalmed Kasumi. LP (3200/4500) “Your turn.” As Ryusei looked at Kasumi he was puzzled. Ryusei: (“It seems she is a lot more aggressive than the previous duel. But something doesn’t feel right either.”) “Ryusei, you cannot win today.” she coldly stated, “Why not?” “Because you lack an emotion that is required if you want to defeat anyone that stands in your way.” Ryusei looked back sternly at Kasumi and asked “And what emotion is that?” As Kasumi looked at Ryusei she could see the image of her mother standing in his place. “Hate.” To be continued. Preview: The duel continues between Ryusei and Kasumi with the winner facing Hayate in the final. Kasumi continues her aggressive play but more memories, especially her life changing day also hinder her performance. Ryusei then tries to get Kasumi to open up so that he can try and help her. Kasumi ignores him and summons Judgment Dragon to represent her fury. Chapter 13-Semi Final Match! Fury of Judgment Dragon! |
