Prologue: The Calling Card
Most people don't see limos that often, so the one that was currently driving down the street drew a lot of attention.
Inside there were two people, the chauffeur and the man that owned the limo.
He was dressed in a suit that was black, with a red undershirt. He didn't wear a tie of any sort. He sat with his eyes closed, a card between his fingers. He did it subconsciously. He was a patient man but even when preparing to set his plans into motion he found it difficult to keep himself from getting bored.
There was a purple flash and the man opened his eyes. The card in his hands was glowing, it was near blinding. The man smirked as he called out, "Stop the car."
The limo came to a screeching halt.
The man got out.
He moved the card around, pointing to his left, then to his right, then behind him. There was no noticeable difference.
But when he pointed the card in front him, towards a small park, the glow intensified.
He started walking.
He heard the sound of a door opening behind him, his chauffer seemed the most likely cause.
"Sir! You need to be at the try outs to give your opening speech!"
"I know. But this is more important." He didn't even stop to respond.
He would stop every now and again to refocus the direction he was walking. Eventually he started to hear voices.
"You think your wimpy cards can beat me, girly-boy?"
As he expected he had walked in on a duel.
His eyes quickly glanced at the duelists then at the field.
They were both kids, probably ten to eleven at most. One had short choppy brown hair, and was dressed from head to toe in black. The other was wearing a white hoodie and blue shorts. His hair was abnormal. Purple and pink.
He looked at the card in his hand. Its glow was blinding, but it seemed to have calmed down somewhat.
He turned his attention back to the field.
The brown hair boy had two monsters on his side of the field.
First of the Dragons – Level 9, Fusion, Attack: 2700/ Defence: 2000
A large blue and white dragon flew above the field, its body covered in spikes. It lacked limbs and had large wings. Its teeth were rather menacing. It was in attack mode.
Vorse Raider – Level 4, Normal, Attack: 1900/ Defence: 1200
He looked like some sort of monster in human form, with yellowy brown skin. He wore blue gauntlets, trousers and a vest jacket. His grin was evil looking, and the axe in his hands looked sharp and dangerous. It was in attack mode.
Brown hair didn't have any spell or trap cards on the field, and only two cards in his hand.
The man nodded his head, it seemed like a pretty good setup for a brute force take down.
He turned his attention to the pink haired boy's field.
Elemental HERO Wildheart – Level 4, Effect, Attack: 1500/ Defence: 1600
He was a large muscular man that looked like he had walked out of a jungle. Sort of like bronze skinned version of Tarzan. He was in attack mode.
Strangely, half his body seemed to be made of smoke.
The man raised a brow, till he noticed an active spell card behind Wildheart.
Mist Body – Spell, Effect: A monster equipped with this card can't be destroyed by battle. (Damage calculation is still done normally.)
The man nodded. He understood what was currently going on, now he just needed to sit back and watch.
The brown haired boy was smirking, "I know your monster can't be destroyed, but that won't stop me from attacking you till you're out of life points."
Brown hair pointed at Wildheart, "Attack both of you!"
The First Dragon roared, then fired a blast of fire at Wildheart. Wildheart exploded, then reformed.
Pink's Life Points: 4000 - 2800
The pink haired boy gritted his teeth as he took damage.
Strands of mist collected back together into Wildheart, only for Vorse Raider to rushed forward and slash through his body.
Pink's Life Points: 2800 – 2400
Wildheart once again reformed.
Brown hair let out a chuckle, "I guess it's your turn, girl."
Pink hair took in a deep breath, then smiled.
"I'm so sorry you can't tell my gender. I guess its cause I'm just so gosh darned pretty, right?" Pink winked at Brown, who scowled back.
"Stop stalling and draw!"
Pink chuckled, and did as he was told. He now had five cards in his hand.
"Well, I guess I should probably get serious, huh?" He picked out two cards in his hand, and showed them to Brown.
"I activate Polymerization, fusing the Elemental HERO Wildheart on the field with the Elemental HERO Bladedge in my hand."
A large spiral of orange and blue light appeared behind Pink.
Wildheart flew up as a golden warrior with sharp blades on his arms appeared to his left. They turned into particles, then fused together.
Pink hair clenched his hands together, a serious look having replaced his playful ness.
"Warrior whose heart is strong like the jungle, combine that heart with a warrior who wields the sharpest blades! FUSION SUMMON!"
In a flash of lightning a new monster appeared.
Elemental HERO Wildedge – Level 8, Fusion, Attack: 2600/ Defence: 2300
The new monster looked a lot like Wildheart, except he was now wearing oddly placed pieces of golden armour. His right leg was completely covered, whereas the left was bare.
His right arm and most of his chest was also bare, but his left arm had a golden shoulder pad as well as a gold gauntlet that had several sharp blades sticking out.
To finish off he wore a golden helmet with a green visor. He also had a giant sword strapped to his back.
Pink summoned him in attack mode.
Brown whistled with a smug luck in his eye, "Pretty good, but your Wildedge is weaker than my First Dragon."
"You're not wrong." Pink was back to smiling childishly, "Which is why I'm going to equip him with the spell card United We Stand." As he spoke he played the card in question.
United We Stand – Spell, Effect: A monster equipped with this card gains 800 attack and defence for every face up monster you control.
Wildedge – Attack: 2600/ Defence: 2300 – Attack: 3400/ Defence: 3100
Brown's eyes widened in shock.
Pink giggled, "I guess it's time to attack, right? Wildedge attack his Vorse Raider!"
Wildedge rushed forward, his blade coat arm running through Vorse Raider, who exploded with a horrifying scream.
Brown's Life Points: 4000 – 2500
Pink hummed happily, "I guess now would be a good time to mention that Wildedge can attack every monster my opponent controls, hmm?"
Brown's eyes widened in shock, "Wait, what?"
Wildedge jumped up into air, and slashed his blades across the First Dragon's face and there was an explosion masking both monsters from sight.
Brown's Life Points: 2500 – 1800
"Well, guess what?" Brown smirked, "First of the Dragons can't be destroyed by battle except by a normal monster, which your Wildedge isn't."
"I know." Pink said as he held out a card, "I activate the quick play spell, De-Fusion."
De-Fusion – Quick play spell, Effect: Target a fusion monster on the field, shuffle it back into the Extra deck, and then if all the fusion materials are in the graveyard special summon all of them.
Brown rolled his eyes, "What good is two puny wimps gonna be?"
Pink laughed, "You misunderstand, I'm not using this card Wildedge. I'm using it on First of the Dragons!"
Brown blinked his eyes, "No."
"Yes."
Brown slowly took the two cards that his duel disk gave him. He summoned them both in attack mode.
Silver Fang – Level 3, Normal, Attack: 1200/ Defence: 800
A snow white wolf appeared. It growled threateningly at Wildedge.
Giant Soldier of Stone – Level 3, Normal, Attack 1300/ Defence 2000
A warrior made of stone appeared, he held a tiny sword in his hand, which was also made of stone.
Pink flicked some hair out of his eyes absently, as if he wasn't paying attention to what was going on.
"And the best part, it's still the battle phase."
Before Brown could speak Wildedge had destroyed both of his monsters.
Brown's Life Points: 1800 – 0
The game was over and Wildedge disappeared.
The man looked down at the card in his hand, it had been glowing bright throughout the duel, but now it grew dim.
"Is it him? Is that who you have chosen?" The man put the card into his jacket pocket.
Pink started jumping in joy, "I won, I won!"
Brown ran up to Pink and punched him in the face.
"I don't care! You cheated, using your cheap tricks!"
"It's not his fault you're bad at duelling." The man said as he walked up to the two kids. Brown was going to start kicking Pink, who had tears running down his face.
Brown stopped for a moment to stare at the man. After all he was a child, and this guy standing in front of him was an adult. He reassured himself on the fact that he had never seen this man before, and regained his nerve.
"It's none of your business, mister! And of course it's this freaks fault, he played that stupid de-fusion card and forced me to give him more shots at my life points!"
"He just got lucky. Besides that, you do realise that you could have put those monsters in defence mode, right?" The man smirked. He honestly found this brown hair boy's rage to be hilarious.
Brown rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Then he would have attack me directly after destroying my monsters."
"I couldn't do that." Pink said though snivels, "Elemental HERO Wildedge can't attack directly on the turn it uses its ability."
Brown was silent for a moment, before turning to kick Pink again. The man stepped forward and pushed him over.
Now he had two sets of eyes looking at him, some in confusion and the rest in shock.
"You can't push me!"
The man quirked a brow, "Why?"
"I'm a kid!" He yelled as if it were obvious,
"Is there a point here? Cause I'm not seeing it."
"You're bigger and stronger than me!"
"I see. Well, I think you'll find I can push you. And your problem? I bloody want to!" The man smirked menacingly at the child.
He gulped, got up and ran away.
The man looked down at the pink haired boy, "You okay?"
"Yes!" He said quickly. He looked embarrassed, "Um, thank you mister."
The man smiled, and dropped to the ground, so now they were looking at each other on equal ground.
"Think nothing of it. You duel pretty well, for a kid."
"Thanks…" He said shyly, pulling his knees up and hugging them to his chest.
"On your turn, what was the last card you drew?"
The child laughed, "You were right, I was lucky. I drew De-Fusion. That and his own lack of knowledge won the duel for me."
The man's eye widened in surprise, "You drew De-Fusion? What kind of luck do you have?"
"Well, I do run 3 copies of De-Fusion, so the odds were in favour, I guess."
There was silence for a moment. The man found himself smiling. He respected this kid for his use of logic.
The man could think of a number of reasons to run multiple copies of De-Fusion given the circumstances. He wondered which ones the kid had thought of.
"What's your name, kid?"
The kid blushed crimson, "Yuri, sir. What's yours?"
The man stared for a moment, then shook his head, "That's an interesting name. I'm Leo Akaba."
Yuri's eyes widened, "You're that rich guy that's opening that duel school aren't you!"
Leo laughed, "That I am. I'm surprised you know me."
"Are you kidding? I applied for your school." Yuri looked away in disgrace, "I got rejected."
Leo smirked. This kid was making things far too easy for him.
"That doesn't make sense." Yuri looked back as Leo shook his head in mock surprise, "I've seen your skills for myself. I could allow you to at least try out. Maybe you just don't test well, and a practical exam would be more your speed."
Yuri jumped up a grin on his face, "Really?"
Leo got up from the ground, "Sure, why not. Follow me back to my limo, we can talk about your duelling, if you want."
With that Leo started walking back to his limo. He wondered vaguely what his chauffeur was thinking at the moment about how long he'd been gone.
Yuri followed behind a giddy grin on his face.
Little would they know that this was the start of a long, twisted, brutal relationship.
If you got this far, thanks for reading this far. It means a lot.
Some things to get out of the way quickly, this story takes place around three years before the series. Yuri's eleven.
Now, why is he using Elemental Heroes? Several reasons, but mainly because we have no idea what kind of deck he uses. We know he has a 'Something something Fusion Dragon' and from that we can guess that he probably has some dragons in his deck.
But I can't write about a deck I don't know, right? So for now Yuri uses a basic Elemental Heroes deck.
So, if you enjoyed it let me know, if you didn't feel free to tell me what went wrong.
And finally, does anyone know how old Dennis and Sora are in the main timeline? I know that Sora's younger that Yuri, but I've no idea by how much. And Dennis seems older to me.
Well, see ya later.
