YU-GI-OH! ZERO! Prologue

We see Yuco sitting in a diner, possibly waiting for someone. He wears a blue plain shirt, a matching pants and cape. On his neck is a card-like necklace. On his belt was what looks like a deck holder. He is drumming his fingers on the table. Moments later, a man approached him. "Uh... Did I keep you waiting sir?" The man asked.

"Spare me the formalities Dennis, I am not yet your boss. " Yuco said.

"Of course, Yuco. " Dennis bowed. "Your father and brother are waiting for you at the arena. "

"Of course they are. Let's go." Yuco stood as he said this. The both exited the diner and ride in a car. Dennis was driving while Yuco was at the back. After an hour of driving, they finally arrived at a huge building. They got of the car and tool the elevator to the arena. There, an elderly man, Mr. Kagewara, was standing alongside Lorin Kagewara, Yuco's brother.

"I trust you know the reason of your presence here, brother." Lorin said.

"Of course." Yuco said.

"Then let's begin."Lorin said, partially smiling.

"Let's." Yuco replied. Both of them activated their duel disk. Yuco was a standard blue disk, Lorin was black standard.

'DUEL'

"The duel between Lorin Kagewara and Yuco Kagewara is about to begin. The winner will inherit the Kagewara Industries, duelists ready, begin!" A computer program told the little crowd.

"I'll starthings of, brother." Yuco declared. "And I'll do it by summoning Little Archfiend in attack mode(4/1600/Fiend/Dark) [Stats will go in this format lvl/Atk/Def(depending on the position)/Type/Attribute). " A monstrous little creature sprang out from the card. "I shall end my turn by setting two cards."

Hand: 2

"My turn then. Draw! I summon Warlock of the Bloodsong in attack mode (4/1200/Warrior/Fire)." A green skinned creature with skull as a mask appeared on Lorin's field. "Next, I activate Cry of the Bloodsong, this card increases the atk of my 'Bloodsong' monsters by 100 for each Bloodsong monster I control (Warlock: 1300)! Then with the effect of Warlock, I decrease your Archfiend's Atk by 500! Crippling Fear! (Little Archfiend:1100) Go Warlock of the Bloodsong, Black Shadow Bolt!" Warlock launched a black shadowy lightning towards Little Archfiend, who tries to run away but is hitted.

"I activate my trap, Burial Wish, which activates when a monster is destroyed. It negates the damage and allows me to add 1 monster who's lvl is less than or equal to the destroyed monster." Yuco said. (Hand: 3)

"I set a card, turn end " Lorin said.

Hand: 3

"My turn, draw." Yuco shouted as he took the top card of his deck. He grinned. "I send all cards in my hand to the graveyard." He said.

"Is this? " was all Lorin could muster.

"It is." Yuco replied. "And I'll beat you this turn! I activate my facedown Treasure of the Old, which can only be activated by sending all cards in my hand to the graveyard! Now, great explorer of the seven seas, I pray to thee. Grant me strength, allow me to gain victory! Power Summon! Appear, Great Explorer, Shinku (7/2500/Warrior/Light). " a man with sword in one hand gun on the other appeared. "Go, Battle Wrecker!" The man pointed his gun on Warlock, in a blink he shot him. (Lorin's LP: 2800).

"Now, his effect activates, taking your monster and gaining 100 Atk points times its level! (Shinku: 2900). Then he is allowed to attack again. Go, Battle Wrecker!" The man once again points his gun.

"Grr... My trap, Retreat, when I am to take a direct attack, I can avoid it" Lorin said.

"Very well, turn end."

Hand: 0

"Draw! " Lorin said then grinned. "Your in trouble brother, by discarding 3 cards and sacrificing a continuous spell, such as my Cry of the Bloodsong, I can activate Bloodlust, which means, The tides of war is against me, help is needed, heed my plea, Power Summon! Warchief of the Bloodsong." (8/3000/Warrior/Fire)." A green skinned who rides a horse is seen galloping. "Attack Shinku! Blood Slash!" Warchief nodded and charged at Shinku, who tried to shoot him but was destroyed with a swing of a sword. (Yuco: 3900) "And I trust you know his effect."

"Yes." Yuco said. (Yuco: 1400) .

"I end my turn."

"Then I better make this one count! Draw!" As he said it, the top card of his deck glowed. When he looked at the card, he smiled. "I activate, Monster Reborn! Come back Great Explorer, Shinku!" Shinku reappeared beside Yuco. "Now, by banishing Light of Hope from the graveyard while my life points are lower than yours, I can double my monsters atk. Go, Shinku, Barbaric Shot! " Shinku obeyed and shot a couple of bullets hitting Warchief and Lorin. (Lorin: 800 LP). But Warchief is still standing. "Wh-what?"

"I just activated Warchief's effect, by banishing a monster in my graveyard, he can withstand an attack." Lorin explained.

"N-no! I end my turn!" Yuco said.

"My turn, draw! Hmm...Go, Warchief, attack!" Lorin said. (Yuco:1300) "And then use your Effect. " (Yuco:0)

As Yuco sit on the floor, Mr. Kagewara approached him, "You're such a disappointment, Yuco. You're skills are that of a novice, you need to learn alot. " He said. With a teardrop, Yuco ran out of the stadium, followed by Dennis.
