Episode 001 ~ Enter Lex and Thomas

"All right, its my turn," Thomas said as he drew the top card from his deck. He looked at, then glanced at his cards. A brief strategy quickly materialized in his eyes, making Lex nervous. Lex had just started to get the upper hand, stopping Thomas' Summoned Skulls, ATK/2500 DEF/1200, and now had his Harpie's Brother, ATK 1800 DEF 600, out in attack mode. Thomas had 1300 life points remaining, while Lex only had 600. "Well, looks like this match is mine."

As quick as he had devised his plan, Thomas set it into action.

"Seeing as how I still have my flipped Magician of Faith, I'll tribute her to summon, my second Summoned Skull!" Thomas sent his Magician of Faith to the graveyard, and played his Summoned Skull. He set the card face up in attack mode. Instinctively, Lex looked at his set magic or trap cards, trying to see if he could counter the summon. Unfortunately, he couldn't.

"No..." Lex mumbled, "No! I lost again!"

"Hey, look on the bright side, you did bring me down to 1300 life points," said Thomas, trying to comfort Lex.

"Dammit, Tom! You always win! I swear, I will win one day!"

"Hey, quiet down! This is a library!" Said the old librarian, which was always telling them to stay quiet. The old lady slowly made her way back to her seat, keeping one eye peeled on them.

Lex and Thomas got up from their seats, gathering their cards, and putting them back in their card holsters or cases. They put their cards and calculators inside their backpacks, and walked out of the knowledge filled room. Outside, the bright sun blinded their eyes. Lex and Thomas looked almost exactly the same, they were both about the same height, near the height of six feet, with Thomas being about an inch taller. In fact, as children, they were usually confused as brothers. Lex was built sturdy and hard, working out every day. Thomas was a little less built, but could still hold his own when pushed to the extreme. Thomas although had short dusty brown hair, while Lex had dark brown eye level hair.

They had started playing Yu Gi Oh since it was first released, becoming instant fans. And now, they had grown to master it.

"Well, my dad should be here soon, I got to go. See ya!" Said Lex, as he waved good-bye to his friend.

"All right, I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yes, I want a rematch!"
