Chapter One

Duel of the Past and Future

Sean wandered the unknown city, no destination set, no plan. He was all alone in this world, with no family. Sean had to learn that this world is a cruel and cold place, after his parent's died.

It was dark outside, nothing but the street lamps of the small city and the moon. Sean tried to find a place to stay for the night, as he made his way through the city, he felt like he wasn't alone, he heard something behind him, so he quickly turned around, but nothing. Sean continued to walk with caution.

Sean found himself in an alley where there he would try to figure out what was following him. "Hey kid." someone said from the opening of the alley. Sean reacted as if he was going to be attacked. "Woah man, I'm not gonna hurt ya." The stranger said to him, he had messy multi-brown hair and dark brown eyes and he was wearing a red jacket. "What is your business with me?" Sean asked still untrustworthy of the stranger. "Heh, I just wanted a friendly duel." he explained.

"A duel? Usually I would except stranger, but I'm kinda busy." Sean said.

"I know, you need a place. Come with me." The stranger responded. He started walking, Though Sean hesitated at first, he began to follow him.

He brought Sean to this apartment type place and he took him to the side of it with an opening. "Alright, here we are." He pointed. It wasn't a very big place, but for now, it would do for him. Sean stayed in the garage with the guy. Then he had an idea to pass time. "Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to duel now that you're not busy." He explained. Sean began to ponder the thought, but he never backed down from a challenge, well that's fair.

"Very well, I accept your challenge." Sean told him, activating his duel disk.

"Alright, get your game on!" He said. They went outside to the alley, where there was room to duel.

4000/4000

"I'll start off, by summoning the E-Hero Sparkman in ATK mode (1600/1400), next I'll throw a facedown that's it." He finished.

"My turn...." He drew his card. "I summon,Irou - The Six Samurai (1700/1200)."

"Never seen that card before" He said.

"Not many people would want to, in battle." Sean responded. "Next, I activate the Samurai Coronation spell. With this, I can discard one monster from my hand, and Special Summon a monster from my deck. I summon Yaichi - The Six Samurai (1300/800)."

"Another one?" He wondered.

"That's right. And they're more powerful together, you see, Six Samurai's get hidden abilities when there's another Six Samurai out." He explained. "And here's Yaichi's. Now he can destroy your facedown card!" Yaichi fired the arrow and it pierced the card and destroyed it. "Now let's go for your monster, Irou Attack!" The blind samurai slashed his e-hero in half, causing the strangers LP to go down by 100. "I'm not done yet. Yaichi attack directly!" He once again fired an arrow that pierced him.

4000/2600

"Heh, not bad. I haven't trailed in a duel for a while." He said.

"mmm....I lay one facedown and conclude my turn." Sean concluded.

"My move, time to get back in this game. I play Fake Hero, and with this, I can special summon an E-hero and I choose this one. The E-Hero Neos (2500/2000)."And in a flash of aurora light, the white and multi-colored space warrior appeared on the field.

"Now then, I summon this guy, Go Neospacien Dark Panther (1000/500).And now, Neo's, Panther Contact Fusion to summon E-Hero Dark Neos (2500/2000)." Then the monster's flew up in to the sky and in a flash of light a new black colored warrior with claws on his hands appeared. "And that isn't all, I have this field spell, go Neospace!" Suddenly we were surrounded by an aurora field. "This change of scenery gives Dark Neos a 500 point boost." (3000/2000). "Now Dark Neos attack his Yaichi!" Dark Neos lunged toward the Samurai warrior, wielding the bow and arrow and slashed it to pieces, this lowered Sean's LP by 1700.

2300/2600

Sean didn't bother flinching. "No fear." He thought.

"I end my turn, and thanks to Neospace. Dark Neos sticks around." He said

"My move, now then. Since I have a Six Samurai monster out, I can special summon this." Sean explained. "Go Grandmaster of the Six Samurai!" (2100/800). "And next up, I can still normal summon this turn. Now, I summon Yariza the Six Samurai (1000/500). And now I activate his ability! Yariza can attack you directly!" He declared commanding his warrior to strike.

2300/1600

"Man, you're pretty good. But can you finish me?" he wondered.

Sean set another card down. "Oh, you'll find out."

"Alright...here we go. Now, I equip "Neos force" to Dark Neos, giving him an 800 point bonus (3800/2000). Not only that, but when I destroy a monster, you'll take damage equal to that monster's ATK." He said, Sean remained calm. "Dark Neos attack Grandmaster of the Six Samurai!" A dark aura surrounded Neos as he lunged towards the elder Samurai. "I don't fold that easily, I activate the spell Sakuretsu Armor!" Sean countered, and out of the card came a dark fiendish like soldier with unusual armor on, as lunged at the attacking Dark Neosand they were both destroyed. "This trap not only negates your attack, but destroys the attacking monster." Sean explained. "Alright, plan B. I'll lay one facedown and end my turn." He concluded.

"Good, Now then." Sean began to think..."if I attack, I would win the duel, but if it's a trap, I could be setting myself up for a beatdown." He came out of his thoughts.

"Alright, First off, I summon Zanji the Six Samurai (1800/1300)" The light attribute samurai took the field, it was a swarm of samurai.

"Now I'll have Irou finish this!" The blind swordsman launched his attack towards the wide open unknown duelist.

"Hold on, go trap. Detonation Barrier!" He revealed the trap, and in front of him appeared a large barrier that was projected by a metal box. Irou attacked the box and it exploded. Suddenly

both LP gages dropped by 1000.

1300/600

"Detonation Barrier, not only negates your attack, but it ends your battle phase and we both take 1000 points of damage." He explained.

"Fine, I switch Yariza to Defense Mode. I lay one facedown and end my turn." Sean concluded.

"My move, and what do ya know. I play graceful charity. With this I can draw 3 cards as long as I discard 2. Next up, with Necroshade (1600/1800) Now in the graveyard, I'm allowed to summon an Elemental Hero from my hand without sacrificing. Now I summon an old friend, the Elemental Hero Neos! (2500/2000) Now Neos, attack Zanji!" Neos charged towards the orange armored warrior and punched him square in the torso, causing to blast into tiny pieces, dropping Sean's LP gage by 700.

600/600

"I lay one facedown and end my turn." he finished.

"My turn." He drew staring at the card with a curious look on his face. "Good, Now you see, Since I have more than 2 Six Samurai's out on the field, then I can call out the one and only, Great Shogun Shien! (2500/2400)"

And through a cloud of dark mist came the armor clad leader of the Six Samurai, his face was cold and pale with piercing red eyes coming out of the shadow of his helmet.

Shogun stared down Neos, both monster's had the same ATK. But Sean knew what he was doing. Shogun, drew his katana from it's holster. The sword had a dark aura coming off it. He readied his attack, then suddenly a nearby clocktower sounded, signaling midnight.

"Well looks like, I've gotta get going." He said. Sean looked confused as the holograms disappeared.

"Hold on, the duels not over." Sean argued.

"Relax man, I found out what I needed." He said handing Sean something. "This is for you." It seemed to be an envelope and on the corner was a symbol depicting "DA" on it. "At those docks tomorrow, give this to them and they will let you on. I'm sure that is where you want to go." he said as he walked away. "By the way." he said turning to Sean. "That's game." He said making a hand gesture at Sean.

Sean then opened the envelope and read the letter. "Duel Academy." he said curiously. Along with the letter, was a card. This card had nothing on it, just white and a green bottom, like a spell card.
