Chapter 1- The Dark Prophecy
Matt was looking at his hand thinking in his mind the perfect combo to win.
"This duel has gone on far enough.", Matt thought. "I can't believe this amateur didn't know who I was."
"Now I'll activate the spell card mystical space typhoon, to destroy your messenger of peace"
"No, without that your monsters can attack!"
Matt smirked, "Exactly." "Now witch of the black forest attack the face down card."
"Hah you destroyed my needle worm, so the top five cards from your deck goes to the graveyard."
"Does it really matter this duel is over anyway." "Now kycoo and Summoned Skull attack his life points directly!", shouted Matt.
Matt = 7300 ???? = 0
"That is what you get for dueling my good buddy Matt."
"Thanks Zack."
"Geez you really whooped me, sorry for not introducing myself I'm Dan; and I'm kind of new at this school."
"Yeah I know, I'm matt."
"Your not just Matt!", shrieked Zack, "You are one of the best duelist this side of the west coast! You make the best decks anyone has ever seen, and you are unbeatable."
"Wow, no losses?", question Dan
"Yeah no losses.", Matt sighed. After Matt got up from his desk he turned around and punched Zack in the shoulder.
"Oww, what was that for?"
"For the great introduction genius.", barked Matt.
"Sorry if you forgot to mention that your one of the best duelist alive!"
"It's not that it's just I don't have to go around and show off all the time." "Oh well looks like its time for class to start."
Matt and Zack sat down in their assigned desks and waited for the bell to ring. In walked their professor, eager to start class.
"OK class today were going to learn about atoms and their environment, but before we start does any students have any announcements?"
A tall, shot haired student stood up.
"I do, professor."
"Go ahead Jimmy."
"Ok as you know the Battle City tournament ended a couple months ago in Japan, and now American champion, Bandit Keith, is going to start his own tournament in two weeks." "It will be held on some islands south west of here, so everyone needs to sign up now!"
Jimmy took his seat again
Zack leaned over and tapped Matt on the side.
"Dude, you have to enter that tournament to show everyone how good you are!" whispered Zack,
"I don't know man, I think we might be going on vacation then."
"If you don't go to this tournament, I'll hurt you so bad it won't be funny....."
"Zack if you have something to say, would you can say it to the whole class.", said the professor.
The whole class turned around and was starting at Zack and Matt.
"No sir,"
"Good, now to move on." "Zack since you were paying excellent attention please tell me the charge of a proton?"
"Ehhhhhh", moaned Zack
The school day was finally over and Matt lumped up the stairs of his house to his room Matt was considered the average kid. He was about 5'9'', and had brown eyes with light brown hair.
Matt put his books down on his desk, and with a sigh fell on his bed.
"It's not that I can't go to this stupid tournament I just want to be a normal kid." "No more hype, no more being the best, just normal."
Matt picked up his books and started to do his homework. Math, Science, and Reading, it was going to be a long night he thought. After a couple of hours Matt looked at his clock it read 9:14. With a yawn Matt continued his work. His eyes started to get heavy and before he knew Matt was out cold.
He was in a dark room with only a table in the middle; no walls, as the room seemed to last on forever. Suddenly a bright light appeared above the table and voice none that Matt has ever hard boomed a loud message.
"MATT YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HELP."
"Who what, who are you and were am I?
"MATT YOU MUST JOIN THE TOURNYMENT THE WHOLE WORLD DEPENDS ON IT."
"The tournament what does this have to do with anything?"
"YOU MUST JOIN."
"And what if I don't huh?"
"JOIN THE TOURYMENT, AND REMEMBER THE WAY TO STOP THE DARKNESS AND THE WAY TO OPEN THE DARKNESS ARE THE SAME."
"What?", Matt let out.
"BEAT THE CHAMPION."
Suddenly Matt jumped up in his bed. His eyes looked around the room, stunned it felt as if has been traveling for days.
"Was that just for real?", Matt thought
There was something different, Matt felt different. It was getting late an almost time for school. Matt went to get changed when something struck his eye. On Matt's desk laid one of his decks, the one deck that Matt has spent months trying to get the cards for.
"How did that deck get out there, I don't remember even taking out my duel cards?", Matt spurted out.
Matt was looking at the deck for some time, and suddenly remember the dream he had that night.
"Maybe this is a sign... I don't know."
With a sigh Matt let out, "Fine I'll join the stupid tournament."
