Duel Monsters
~Duelist Kingdom~
Prelude
The wind, it blew like an angry storm out at sea- yet the ground was as dry as bone. Lightning and thunder blasted through the sky. A swirling mass of clouds seemed to form a portal in the sky. A lightning bolt struck from the portal, and struck the ground. A loud rumble sent shockwaves across the ground. A mystical mist filled the air now. A person crouched on his knees.
Elsewhere, a girl was walking the streets of Domino Town. The town was as quiet as a cemetery. She walked, hoping that the rain would wait to fall until she got home. But, a man came from an alley, and started following her. As she walked down the street, she got an eerie feeling that someone was behind her. As she turned, the man grabbed her, and dragged her into an alley.
Holding a gun to her, he snarled. "Give me all your valuables and your free to go!" he called. He has thick blonde hair and an American flag bandana. The girl gulped in terror.
"No, I don't have anything," she said, backing away, finding that she was trapped.
The guy chuckled. "I guess we'll have to do this the hard way," he said, loading the gun.
Suddenly, a striking voice sliced through the silence. "I wouldn't touch her if I were you," he called. A mysterious guy came from the shadows. He had spiky, dark blue hair that reached to his shoulders. He had a long, black trench coat and black baggy pants. He glared at the thief with his staggering emerald eyes.
"Who the hell are you?" the thief asked. He smirked, and twirled his gun around his index finger.
"Shiro, your worst nightmare. Bandit Keith, you aren't going to hurt her. I will assure that," he said. He drew out a deck of Duel Monsters cards. "You will soon see why people are so afraid of me," he said.
The girl watched through frightened eyes. She gulped as the boy drew a card from his deck.
"Prepare to be sealed," he said. He lifted the card in the air, and suddenly, a strange black creature blasted from the card. A shadow like creature spiraled around Bandit Keith, and chuckled. "Morphing Jar is a truly powerful card, as it can send any opponents monster to the graveyard if attacked while in face down position, but now, it's ready to eat you and send you to the graveyard…"
Bandit Keith screamed. He struggled free from the creature. "Get away from me!" he yelled, running away once he was freed. As Keith escaped, Shiro called the creature back to its card. He helped the girl up, and handed her the bag of groceries.
"Are you okay?" he asked, putting his deck away. The girl backed away from Shiro.
"Yes, I'm, fine. H-how did you do that?" she asked. She was frightened and eased at the same time.
Shiro sighed. "It's a long story. You wouldn't understand," he said, starting to walk away.
Suddenly, a guy laughed out loud, walked into the alley. A guy with green hair, a dark long sleeved pull over, blue jeans, and necklaces and chains. He smiled.
"Nice use of holograms. They really looked real. Now where's the hologram projectors?" he asked.
The girl ran to the guy's side. "Kai! This guy used magic to save me from that bandit!" she called.
Kai smirked. "Magic? No such thing, you just saw illusions of some sort," he said, smiling.
Shiro glared at Kai. "You doubt my power?" he asked, not moving his mouth. Suddenly, Kai's jaw dropped.
"Yes, Kai, I am inside your head. I have power beyond your belief," he said, "I will show you if you wish."
Kai shook his head in disbelief. "Jasmine, did you hear him too?" he asked. He stared at his little sister.
"What? He didn't say any thing," she said, looking oddly at her brother. Kai gulped.
"You, you're not kidding! You are magic!" he called, gasping in disbelief. Suddenly, lightning struck. Rain then began to fall. Shiro looked at Kai.
"You two better get going, before you catch cold," he said, turning away. He started to walk, when Kai stopped him.
"Hey!" he called. He ran up to Shiro. "Shiro, was it? You have a place to keep warm at?" Kai asked.
Shiro shook his head. "No, I just got into town…" he said, turning, continuing to walk.
Kai gulped. "I hope to meet you again. And next time, I want a duel!" he called. He watched as Shiro disappeared into the night.
May It Begin…
