Disclaimer: I do not own the yugioh franchise, it's character, all that crap and such.
Well, this story is coming early, mostly because i just want to get it out asap and i want to make sure some things that happen in the story make or sense. Before we get into the story, this story will mostly consist of Dan and Serena Being the main character for the first few arcs at least, and there will be some filler arcs as well. Now as for other characters such as Sora, Yuya, Yuzu and etc appearing in the story, i dont know, since this takes place before yuya takes on sledgehammer. I might make one or two arcs if i can come up with anything, but they'll without a doubt be non-canon and considered filler. There will however be some appearances of one of the MC's of the yugi franchise in the future, but i wont say. Overall, this is a prequel to Legendary Kings, and ill be finishing this up first before doing legendary kings, so expect this story to have 70 chapters and over :P Without any more to say, onwards to the story!
It was a normal day in the streets like usual, with people simply walking around, going from shop to shop, restaurant to restaurant. There was a lot of commotion especially since there was an upcoming festival, in representations of duel monsters. But there was also a lot of rumors spreading like crazy that was apart of the commotion. Apparently there had been a duelist on the run that had been dueling other duelist, stealing their decks. What really set the rumor off was the fact that who ever dueled this mystery duelist, whatever damage that was taken or received, wasn't just a hologram, it felt real. Aside from that through, it didn't stop the joy of the citizens that were preparing for the festival. But there was one boy, who had other things to take care of.
To an alley somewhere far away
A young 15 year old man with Red spikey hair, emerald eyes, dark black jeans, and had a red hoodie on, with white and red shoes on, was currently standing straight with his red and green Duel Disk on, as he was staring at his opponent with sharp look in his eyes.

The other young man, Had brown and white hair, violet eyes, with a black scarf around his neck, purple slick jeans. And a blue shirt on. He wore a purple yet black disk on his left waist as he had a nervous yet angry look in his eyes.

The red haired boy simply smirked as he currently look at his Shadow of the six samurai (A: 2500/ D:400) his ace in the hole, and his The Six Samurai- Nisashi (A: 1400/ D: 700) that were both in attack mode. He then slowly look at his opponents field, which had nothing on it but a xyz monster, Abyss Dweller. (A: 1700/ D: 1400)
The Red haired boy simply smirked as he looked at the browned haired boy. "This is your last chance to simply give me the answers i want, and walk away before you embarrass yourself bud. I didn't come here to duel after all, just to talk." He said calmly, even with his little smirk.
The brown haired boy simply snarled. "As if, why do that when i can finish you next turn, as far as i'm concerned you're all talk and no bite."
His smirk grew as he flicked a button on his duel disk revealing his face down "Well hopefully you'll think otherwise after this! I play ring of destruction!" The red haired said.
"What's that?!" Said the brown haired boy in surprise and wonder.
"Now see what this does is it allows me to pick a monster and equip ring of destruction to it, and we both take damage equal to that monsters attack points. And of course, i'll be choosing my Nisashi!" he said as he pointed at Nisashi, watching as Ring Of Destruction equipped itself onto him, exploding in a matter of second taking Nisashi with him, blowing the red hair away but slightly, while blowing the brown haired boy to the ground.

"Ugh….He...beat me….No one beats Senji Alberoni….Just...who in the hell are you?!" The brown haired boy name Senji said in anger and shock, that he'd been beaten.
"The names Dan Akatsuki...remember it!" Dan said, as he slowly walked up to Senji, grabbing him by his collar and pulling him close to him. "Now i'm only gonna ask you once more...what's this rumor about a duelist stealing other duelist decks? And is it true that he has some power or ability to make all damage inflicted real?" He finished off, some anger evidence in his voice.
Senji stayed silent for a moment, before shortly answering "And say that i do know something about this mystery duelist? What's it matter to you?"
Dan looked at him with a softer look. "Because i know what it's like to lose something precious...something you hold dear to you...and i can't just standby and let this guy get away with what he's doing...besides….if you have anyone important to you, friends or family who love to duel, you'd tell me, because there's a chance he could come after them, including you."
Senjis look in shock but calmed down as he thought about it. He sighs and said" i cant help with much but...i do know one thing about the guy...specifically the places he goes to duel and steal decks"
Dan look in hope as he let go off Senji and spoke up. "Really?! Anything will do! Just...tell me what you know!
"He goes to two places in general since these are where the attacks have been happening so far….the nearby park where the festival is suppose to take place at, at night anyway, and the old abandon duel academy building that outside the city, since there are some duelist, particular the smug dirty good for nothing duelist, hang out at. That's all i know through, i swear."
Dan looked at him sharply before Standing up. " i believe you, thank you for the information, and sorry about the duel." He said as he quickly walked off with Senji looking at him in wonder.
It was night time now, as Dan was walking at a slow pace towards his apartment
Dan pulled a card out of his pocket and raise it to the sensor on his doorway. When it went from red to green, giving the sign it was unlocked, he opened his door but was quickly pawned by a worried and concerned Lulu, who was a girl with long, dark purple haired that goes past her lower back,with lilac side tails. She also wears feather like earrings, and a cream vest with an under dress that splits into three, wore out pants, brown boots, two brown belts, and a red sash.
"Dan!" Lulu said, still hugging him tightly.
"Ugh Lulu?! I'm happy to see you too but could you not hug me so tight! You're suffocating me…" Dan said starting to have trouble breathing.
Lulu quickly let go as she stood up and looked somewhat embarrassed. "Sorry….When i heard people saying you were out trying to find and duel this mystery duelist...i couldnt help but worry considering how reckless you can be." She said honestly.
"Hey! I'm hurt you could think of me as helpless when i'm so high and mighty." he said jokingly, earning a short laugh from Lulu. "But really Lulu…i understand you care about me and want to be there for me but…i can handle myself. You don't need to worry so much." Dan said with a ensuring tone.
Lulu chuckles a bit. "Yeah...i suppose you're right. I should have more faith in you. Well, do you want me to make some dinner? I can make us some ramen today." She asked
Heh. What is this suppose to be a date or something?" He said, Lulu rolling her eyes with a small blush on her cheeks. "But sure, why not? I am starving and haven't eaten since breakfast." Dan said with a smile.
"Then it's settled! Come on in" Lulu said as Dan walked in their apartment closing the door behind him.
It had been 7 months since Dan met Lulu, needless to say, she was easily the nicest and kindest person he met since his hellish childhood. She was so caring and thoughtful, it was hard not to be her friend, let alone talk to her. During the 7 months they had formed a very close bond, and easily became best friends with each other, they would take about dueling strategies, occasionally hang out with one another, talk and help each other with any problems they were facing in life, and trusted each other more than anything. People would even often confuse them as a couple or think of them of each others love interest, which isn't true in the slightest. Sure they may joke around like that sometimes, but all in all they were just friends, and he owed her more than anything because She helped saved him from himself, and helped him to let go of the past. Or...somewhat at least. Thinking about it just fueled him with rage...even now it does…especially that day...the day that had changed everything.
"Dan?! Earth to daaann?!" Lulu said waving her hand in his face.
"Huh?!...Oh sorry i...i was just...thinking about something. What was it you were saying?" Dan said, hoping she wouldn't press on the matter.
Lulu gave him a strange look and was tempted to ask what it was he was thinking about exactly, but decided not to press on the subject. "Oh well...i was saying that Yuto and Shay wants to us to meet up for our meeting."
Dan look at her with a serious look. "Lemme guess. Duel Academy?"
Lulu said also seriously "You guessed it."
Dan clenched his fist together. " I swear...what's the point of all this violence?! What is their motive in all this? Do they honestly not care if innocent people get hurt in all this?!
Lulu looked down with a angry yet sad look in her eye, as she slowly goes back to boiling the ramen noodles. " I don't know Dan….i really don't but...i we're gonna stop them and we're gonna do it somehow. I hate fusion summons...i really do, the way it's used it's just...it's not right. They've come close to destroying our hometown and to see all bright faces especially with the festival...to see all that go away...especially if anything happened to you and others...i just…" she paused as he looked down, trying to clear her head of the anger and frustration she felt.
Dan grabbed her shoulder and looked at her gently. "Look...i don't care what happens...i swear i'll protect you no matter what...and i wont die. Same with the others. I promise on my life." He said smiling at her, trying his best to ensure her everything was gonna be alright.
She smile and wiped her tears. "You're right…you always find a way to cheer me up...i need to be stronger…" She said and she she slowly but surely went back to cooking the ramen noodles.
Dan laughed a bit and said. "Honestly...you're fine just the way you are Lulu…besides...if i didn't cheer you up your brother would probably kill me…" He shivered at the thought, as her brother, Shay, had been on his ass when he found out Lulu was gonna be living with him and had nearly punched his lights out, if not for the restraint of Lulu and Yuto that is. Eventually, with some convincing, mostly from Lulu, he had reluctantly agreed to it. If he had been pissed about him living with Lulu, the thought of him knowing he not only failed to keep her happy, let only had been the one who MADE her cry, brought shivers to him as he knew he would be fucked then.
Eventually Dinner had been cooked and prepared as they enjoyed the ramen and had talked about many things. Once they had finished dinner, they quickly got into their PJs and got into their twin bedroom, which had a top bunk and a bottom one, Lulu had slept on the bottom one, while Dan slept on the top one. They both got into their beds and had a few last words as usual before going to bed.
"Hey Dan…" Said Lulu softly.
"Yes Lulu?" Said Dan in a curious voice.
" I just…i just want you to know that...no matter what happens I'm...really glad i met you." She said in a gentle yet kind voice.
Dan simply look at the ceiling above him where Lulu was laying in and smiled, but was also slightly confused. " I'm really glad to have met you too but…where exactly is this coming from?" He asked.
"Um...nothing i just...wanted you to know. Goodnight." Lulu said, a bit to hesitate for Dan's liking.
Dan decided to shake it off and trust Lulu, " Right...Goodnight to you too, Lulu." He said, letting slumber take over him as he drifted off to sleep.
