Based on a story I found earlier on I decided to make my own.
Double-Dee sat in his room, adjusting his stuff neatly, like he always did. Then suddenly, Ed and Eddy stormed in, Ed kicking Double-Dee's door in, and Eddy saying "There are door knobs, Ed." Ed replied to this with a "That joke's already been used, Eddy." "Whatever. Hey, Sockhead! You won't guess what's big today!" Double-Dee thought for a while, before replying "Well, there is a new card series called Yu-Gi-Oh that everyone is talking about. About everyone in the Cul-de-Sac has assembled themselves a deck. Even Kevin!" Eddy gaped. He was JUST going to say that. But, sadly enough, Ed and Eddy didn't have enough money to get any decks at all. "I have also assembled myself a deck," Double-Dee continued, "and have made several spare decks just in case." Eddy's eyes glistened with the sound of this. "Say, Double-Dee, you don't mind lending me and Lumpy here a few decks, huh?"
"Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt. Wait here." Double-Dee then sped to his drawer and found two decks, which he gave to the duo. "Oh! Oh! Oh! What do I get? What do I get?" Ed said, hopping up and down like a child waiting for his birthday presents. "Well, Ed, this deck should fall into your liking. It's a combination of an Elemental Hero deck and a Neos deck. And don't forget the fusions; they go into a separate deck than your main deck." Ed was so excited; he couldn't hide it even if his life depended on it. "As for you, Eddy," said Double-Dee, giving the other one to him, "You get a VWXYZ deck." Eddy looked at him with confusion in his eyes. "Why is it called VWXYZ?" Double-Dee smiled. "You'll see if you duel me, Eddy!" "Is that a challenge?" "What if it is?" "Then you got it!" "Good! Take this Duel Disk and meet me outdoors." said Double-Dee, before looking for a deck to use…
Outside…
"Ready, Eddy?" said Double-Dee, ready to duel. "You got it, Sockhead!" They inserted their decks and eyed each other. Their Life Point meters was at 4000. "Let's DUEL!" Eddy drew his card, since it was his turn and eyed his hand.
Eddy's starting hand: X-Head Cannon, Frontline Base, Z-Metal Tank, Y-Dragon Head and Sangan. He drew Limiter Removal.
"Alright," Eddy said, "time to get wild! I summon Sangan in attack mode!" Then, the little monster displayed on the card suddenly showed up on the field that Double-Dee had chosen. "Wha-"Eddy started, but Double-Dee interrupted him. "It's just a hologram, Eddy. The Duel Disk shows exactly what monsters, spells and traps you play. But, when the card is hidden, we only see the back of the card." Eddy took this in, before nodding. "My turn's over, Double-Dee!" Double-Dee smiled, before drawing.
Double-Dee's starting hand: Ancient Gear Golem, Ancient Gear Soldier, Ancient Gear Castle, Ancient Gear and Draining Shield. He drew Ancient Gear Workshop.
"Now I activate Ancient Gear Castle!" Then, behind Double-Dee grew a humongous castle, seemingly from ancient times. Eddy gaped. "This spell card increases all Ancient Gear monsters' attack points with 300. Now I summon Ancient Gear Soldier!" The monster on the card appeared in front of Double-Dee. It seemed to be constructed poorly, yet it somehow managed to stay upright. "Your Sangan is no match for my Soldier, Eddy!" Double-Dee was right. Sangan only had 1000 ATK, while Ancient Gear Soldier had 1300 ATK. Also, with Ancient Gear Castle on the field, it increased to 1600 ATK. "Attack, Soldier!" And with that, the machine attacked Sangan, destroying it. Eddy's life points dropped with 600. "But don't forget Sangan's effect, Double-Dee! Now I get to take a monster card from my deck and add it to my hand, as long as its ATK is 1500 or less!" Eddy searched through his deck and picked one card. Double-Dee smirked. "Now I special summon Ancient Gear, due to its effect!" A tiny little machine appeared besides Soldier. "And I set one card." The back of a card appeared on stage. "Your turn, Eddy."
Eddy drew his card. It was Black Pendant. "Alright, Double-Dee! I summon X-Head Cannon in attack mode!" The blue machine, strapped with cannons over its body, appeared before Eddy. Unlike Double-Dee's Ancient Gear's, his machines was cleaner and better constructed. "I also activate the spell card Frontline Base! It allows me to special summon any union monster with level 4 or less! And I choose Y-Dragon Head!" A red machine with a dragon head appeared. "Let's see how your junk piles take some REAL heavy metal! X-Head, destroy his Soldier!" The machine aimed its cannons at Soldier and fired. "Sorry, Eddy, not gonna happen. I activate Draining Shield!" The shot hit Soldier head on, but it wasn't destroyed. In fact, the fragments of the blast went straight to Double-Dee! "What the?" "Allow me to explain, Eddy. Draining Shield negates one of your attacks and gives me life points equal to your monsters ATK." Double-Dee's life points were at 5800 now. "Oh yeah? Well, tell your Ancient Gear that, cuz my Y-Dragon Head is gonna blow him to Kingdome Come!" The dragon machine blew a stream of destructive flames at Gear, destroying it. Double-Dee's life points were at 4800 now. "Your move."
Double-Dee drew Ancient Gear Beast. "I tribute my Soldier to summon Ancient Gear Beast!" Soldier disappeared, and in its place stood now a poorly constructed beast. "Attack Y-Dragon Head!" It leaped at the machine, tearing it to bits. Eddy's LP 2600. "Your move." said Double-Dee. He had a plan to defeat Eddy on his next turn.
Eddy drew Pot of Greed. "I activate Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw two more cards!" So he did. The cards were Soul Release and Return from the Different Dimension. "Now I summon Z-Metal Tank!" The yellow machine appeared in front of him. "And I set this card as well. Your move."
Double-Dee drew Mystical Space Typhoon. "Now I summon Ancient Gear Golem!" "Huh? That's not possible! You have to tribute two monsters to summon it, right?" "Well observed, Eddy. But, do note that I've summoned two monsters normally while Ancient Gear Castle was on the field. Now, since I've placed two counters on it because of that, I can tribute the castle to summon my most powerful monster!" With that, the castle crumbled into rubble, and from it, a humongous monster of a machine raised itself. "Now, Ancient Gear Golem! Destroy his Z-Metal Tank!" And with that, the Golem punched the tank out of the field. Eddy's LP 1100. "And I'm not done yet, Eddy! Go, my Beast! Tear his final defence apart!" Eddy stared as X-Head Cannon was destroyed. He only had 900 LP left. "Your move."
Eddy drew V-Tiger Jet. Seeing the W-Wing Catapult in his hand, plus his other monsters in the graveyard, he smirked. "Now I get the deck name." he said to himself. "Okay, Double-Dee, I activate Soul Release! It allows me to remove from play up to 5 monsters in each duellist's graveyard! And I choose the X-to-Z series!" Double-Dee raised an eyebrow. What was he planning? "And now I summon V-Tiger Jet! Plus that I activate Frontline Base's effect, letting me special summon W-Wing Catapult!" The monsters appeared in front of him. "And?" Double-Dee asked. "And THIS!" Eddy shouted, activating his trap. "I activate Return from the Different Dimension! By sacrificing half of my life points, I can summon all monsters that are removed from play back to the field! Now, come back X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head and Z-Metal Tank!" The monsters all came back from their prison and were now staring at Double-Dee and his behemoths. Double-Dee wasn't phased. "So what? They don't have enough attack points to defeat ANY of my Ancient Gear monsters." "Not alone, Sockhead!" Double-Dee suddenly realized what Eddy was planning. "I remove V-Tiger Jet and W-Wing Catapult from play to summon the fusion monster VW-Tiger Catapult!" Unlike disappearing, the two monsters joined themselves into one. Double-Dee feared Eddy's possible next move. Even with only 450 life points, he could still win! "And I do the same thing with the X-to-Z series!" Now, the other unfused monsters fused themselves. "Forming the mighty XYZ-Dragon Cannon!" Double-Dee saw the new monsters, yet didn't fret. Eddy was only able to destroy Beast, and Double-Dee had more life points than Eddy. "Well, if that's all you have, then hurry up! It's almost over for you!" "Actually, I have one more trick up my sleeve, Double-Dee!" Double-Dee raised his eyebrow. "How? Don't forget, Eddy, I constructed your deck, and know that the strongest monster you have is XYZ-Dragon Cannon!" "Nuh-uh, Sockhead. You spent so long inside finding a deck, that I decided to take a walk. And on the walk, I found THIS!!!" when Eddy said so, VW-Tiger Catapult AND XYZ-Dragon Cannon detached, only to join together again, forming a colossus about Ancient Gear Golem's size. "Now, say hello to VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon! And I'm not done yet! I put on him Black Pendant, which raises his ATK with 500!" Double-Dee gasped. His Golem had been outdone by Eddy's V-to-Z-Dragon Catapult Cannon. "Now, V-to-Z, destroy his Beast!!!" And with that, the Beast was decimated, leaving Double-Dee with 3300 LP. "HA! In your face, Sockhead! Your turn, smarty!"
Double-Dee drew. He smiled. He had drawn Ancient Gear Tank. "Sorry, Eddy, but this is it for you! I activate Ancient Gear Tank! This card raises one Ancient Gear monster's ATK with 600!" "Then, he smiled devilishly, and thought to himself: "Now, Eddy's done for! When I've attacked his monster, I'll use Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy my tank, thus dealing 600 points of damage to his LP! He'll never survive THAT!" Then, he spoke up: "This is it! Golem, go! Destroy his Catapult Cannon!" Golem rushed at him in its tank, but Eddy still had one trick up his sleeve. "I activate V-to-Z's special effect, to remove from play your Tank!" With that, sparkling lightning shot out from V-to-Zs cannons, hitting Golem's tank, removing it. "What the?" "Allow ME to explain now, Sockhead. Ancient Gear Tank's effect only activates when it's sent to the graveyard, but it ain't doing zilch when removed from play!" Double-Dee gasped. It was too late to stop Golem from attacking now! Golem's fist rushed against V-to-Z's body, yet it managed to jump backwards, before using its cannons to destroy Golem. "NO! My Golem!" Double-Dee's life points were now at 2800. "Grr… Your turn."
Eddy drew Cyber Summon Blaster, yet that didn't really matter now. "VWXYZ-DRAGON CATAPULT CANNON!!! ATTACK DOUBLE-DEE DIRECTLY!!!" Eddy screamed, before the colossus shot its mega cannons at Double-Dee. He was helpless. Double-Dee's LP 0.
"Oh yeah! This is my lucky day! Not only do I get myself a deck, but I managed to win my first duel! Who da man? Who da man?" Eddy kept on doing his victory dance while Double-Dee tried to stand up after the attack had hit him head on. "Ow… Well, Eddy, congratulations on your first victory!" "Yeah, and it ain't gonna be my last, you hear me?" Suddenly, Ed ran towards them. "ED! You should have seen that! It was all BAM! BADDABOOM! KABLOOMIE!!! I'm on a roll! Who's next?!" "Um, Eddy? Haven't you noticed the crowds, mister?" Eddy stopped dancing. All the Cul-de-Sac kids had gathered around to see what was going on. "Woah…" "So athletic!" "Far out, eh, Plank?" "Alright, what are you dorks doing?" Kevin's question caught Eddy's ear. He smiled. It was clear to Ed and Double-Dee: He had a plan. "Well, gather around here, folks! We are happy to pronounce that this duel was but a promo for the Yu-Gi-Oh tournament that's going to be hosted here in a few days! Entrance fee is 50 cents, and the winner will…" He swallowed hard. Saying this would surely put a spot on his reputation, but hey, since when had Eddy had a rep to take care of? "The winner will receive all the cash!" Everyone took this in, before cheering like crazy. Eddy never promised away money, so this was very noble of him! "Thank you, thank you! The tournament starts at Saturday, so start preparing your decks!" Everyone started talking whilst going to prepare their decks. "Double-Dee, I need you to get more of those Duel Disks. We'll need at least 15!" "Eddy, have you forgot? Only nine will participate in the tournament, including us!" "Well, we have to be certain! Ed, make some fliers! We're advertising for this tournament! I'm gonna be rich! BIG TIME!!!"
On Friday, the day before the tournament, a flier got into the hands of three sisters. With menacing grins and super decks, they prepared themselves for the tournament. And they decided to add something more than the cash into their winner prize…
