YU-GI-OH!
The Kingdom Of Shadows
Chapter One
London, England. 12th of July 20th 2014
It was raining heavily in the capital city of England, thankfully the memorial duel stadium had a closable roof.
Inside the stadium, surrounded by a entire crowd were two duellists, one of them was a blond boy, around sixteen with glasses and wearing a black jacket and blue jeans, strapped to his left arm was a duel disk.
In front his were two of his monsters, Amazoness Fighter and Amazoness Sage, he also had two face down cards. He had 1200 lifepoints remaining.
His opponent was a young girl probably no older than him, she had pink hair and was dressed in attire that suggested she was a punk, like her rival she had a duel disk strapped tightly to her arm. she had only one monster but it was a formidable one, A Red Eyes Black Dragon, A rare monster made even more famous for being used by the legendary duellist Joey Wheeler. She had 3000 lifepoints left
The girl had three facedown cards and had equipped her Red Eyes with Black pendant raising it's attack power 2900 and it was still her turn.
The girl laughed. "Sorry Tyler but this is the end for you, Red Eyes attack his Amazoness Sage with Infernal Fire Blast!" The Black Dragon breathed it's intense fire towards the Amazon and it consumed her.
When the smoke cleared the Amazon was gone, and Tyler's life points fell to 450. He slowly started to smirk.
"What!?" Shouted the Girl in disbelief. "But my Red Eyes had 2900 attack points! You should have lost 1500, this duel should be over!"
"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you Kathy, but before your attack hit I activated one of my face down cards. Gift of the Amazoness Tiger! When your attack hit I only took half the damage I should have, and that's not all I also activate my second trap, Pride of Tribe. This allows me to special summon any Amazoness monster from my deck so long as she is four stars or less." Explained Tyler as his second facedown card lifted.
"And so, I will summon my Amazoness Blowpiper to the field!" In a flash of golden light the amazon appeared armed with her trusty blowgun. (800/1500)
Kathy frowned and looked at the two cards, that made up her hand. "I'll end my turn now, but it doesn't matter even if you use blowpiper's effect my dragon will still be stronger than anything you can summon!"
"We will see, won't we?" Said Tyler as he drew a card, he laughed. "I'm sorry Kathy, it was a good game but it's over."
"What do you mean?!" Asked Kathy.
"I just drew the card that will seal your fate!" Shouted Tyler. "I activate monster reborn to bring my Amazoness Queen back from the graveyard in attack mode!"
The holy symbol of Monster Reborn hung over the field and shined sliver and below the symbol in a flash of light the queen of the Amazons appeared in a flash of light. (2400/1800)
"And that's not all!" Tyler continued. "I now sacrifice my Amazoness Blowpiper to summon to the field the Amaoness General!"
The blowpiper faded away and in her place appeared a beautiful woman with long golden hair tied in a braid that went right down to her back and dark skin and she was armed with a curved sword(1700/1000). "And now." Tyler continued. "I'll activate a spell card that can only be used when Amazoness General and Amazoness Queen are on the field together, Royal Return!"
Tyler slid the card into his dick and large holographic version of it appeared on the field. "When this card is activated I can bring forth the true ruler of the Amazons. I summon Hippolyta, True Ruler of the Amazons!"
The monster that appeared stunned everyone into silence with her beauty, if Amazoness Princess was beautiful then Hippolyta was a whole other level, with long dark hair that went down to the small of her back, dark brown eyes and full lips she was a true beauty. She had firm muscles and in her hands were two great swords. (3300/2800)
Kathy gulped before shaking her head. "Fine, attack me if you want."
Tyler chuckled. "I wasn't born yesterday Kathy, and while Hippolyta had some great effects being immune to traps is not one of the them, thankfully I have a way to get around that." Tyler reached for another card slid it in to his disk.
"I activate Heavy Storm." A furious wind storm began to blow and Kathy's facedown cards began to buckle.
"Nice try!" Said Kathy with a victorious grin. She hit a button on her disk and one of her facedown's lifted. "Go Magic Jammer, quell his storm!" She shouted as she discard a card from her hand to fulfil the trap's cost.
The storm died down and Tyler stared evenly at his opponent before a smile broke out on his face. "Thank you."
"What!?" Shouted Kathy in confusion. "Why are you thanking me? I just ruined your strategy!"
"No." Tyler began as he reached for his last card. "You see, I had a feeling that one of those cards was Magic Jammer, so I used heavy storm as a decoy because I didn't want you to stop this!" Tyler slid his card slowly into his disk, savouring the moment.
"I activate, Amazoness Trinity Attack!" The three Amazons on the field crossed their blades and raised them high. "This card sort of works like Des Croaking, only instead of needing three different monsters on the field I need three unique monsters on the field, but the effect is the same I can destroy all cards on your side of the field!"
Kathy gasped in disbelief as her Dragon and her facedown cards all shattered into pixels. Her last card slipped out of her numb fingers.
"And now, Hippolyta, attack directly with fury of the amazons!" Hippolyta ran forward across the field and swung both her great blades down on to Kathy who let out a loud scream of defeat.
Tyler smiled as his duel disk shut down and the announcer crowned him the winner of the tournament. It had been difficult and their had been a few close calls but he had done it.
"Mom? Dad? I'm home!" Tyler shouted as he walked into his dark apartment, his trophy and his check for one thousand pounds in his hands. "And you guys aren't, what a shock!" Tyler sighed and put his trophy down on the side.
Tyler's parents were both famous researchers for a medical company in London, they were now, ironically in the Amazon Rainforest trying to develop new drugs from certain insects and plants. Deep down Tyler know his parents wouldn't be home today, but he could always hope right?
Tyler sighed and decided to try and get his thoughts away from such a depressing place and pulled out his cellphone. He had a thousand pounds and he was all alone with no parents in the house, that only meant one thing.
Pizza!
