Chapter One: Loni
The sky grew dark on Domino City. Everyone had wondered if another tournament or anything would bring the once prestige king of games out of retirement. This was the rumor mill that was constantly heard by 17-year-old Loni. As she walked through the dark streets by herself, dressed in high cut tank top, tight blue jeans, a duel deck belt, and boots, the constant whispers filled her ears. 'Wonder when the king of games is gonna duel again.' This was the most common one. Others were being things like 'He will never come out of retirement. He's too scared.' Or even better being, 'Since he's gotten his grandfathers game shop he doesn't need to duel anymore. Now that girl does his dirty work.'
The girl in reference was Loni. She continued to walk till she came up to Kame Game Shop. A very familiar sight to the young girl. As she walked in, she heard a deep voice call from the counter.
"I'm sorry, we're closed." The tall figure turned around, revealing a calm face, and tri-colored hair, spiked in the shape of a star. Black base with red tint and blonde bangs and highlights hanging around his face. Wearing a blue tang top and blue pants laced with silver. The figure stood in shock and the sight of the girl. "Loni, what a pleasant surprise."
"How have you been?" Loni asked. Before her question could be answered, the phone rang.
"Kame Game Shop this is Yugi." There was a long pause. "No I'm sorry she's directing a Broadway show in New York. Won't be back till October….uh…Thank you." Yugi Hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" Loni asked, still waiting an answer to her other question.
"Just someone looking for Tea. I swear it's been lonely without her here."
"So what am I daddy, chop liver?"
"No, Loni. I miss you too. It's just the fact you still live in town and your mother is in New York, realizing her dream."
"If memory serves me right, you were the one telling her to go for it after her dancing career stopped. And it was also you that said if I was ready I should move out." Yugi nodded to this statement. "By the way I'm still waiting for a answer to my first question."
"I'm sorry. I'm doing great. Now come my Atema. Come fill me in on your life."
Atema. That was a name she hadn't been called in years. Loni was given the middle name Atema after a close friend of her fathers. Well at least the female version of his friends name. Loni was looking on the time of her life. Being born on May 5th of 2017, Loni Atema Moto was born to Yugi and Tea Moto. She was confident like her mother, but kind a sweet like her father. Almost child like. She lived in Domino her whole life, and Graduated Domino High early to pursue her bussiness career. One thing however had always been true about Loni. She was a high-level low-profile duelist. Something her dad had taught her from the young age of 4. To this day she always believed in herself, as well as the heart of the cards. Loni slowly slipped out of her thoughts the second her dad open his mouth.
"Hey you coming, sweet heart?"
"Yeah, dad."
As they talked and caught up over the past few weeks, Loni informed Yugi of the talk she had been hearing around town. Also she caught him up on her life. Her classes in college to become a business administrator, her new cat mojo, and her newest set of cards. As she fell asleep on the couch, Yugi noticed the resemblance she had to Tea. Her big violet eyes with the hint of blue of her mothers, her four toned hair that she inherited from both of them, black and red base with brown and blonde bangs. He also noticed that she had Tea's confident attitude. Something he had feared for years.
Yugi walked upstairs to grab Loni a blanket. As he pulled a blanket from out of his daughters old childhood room, he found an old picture that he and Tea gave her. A picture from 30 years before. Of him, Tea, Joey and Tristan. It had been years since he talked to either guy, but he knew that Joey and Tristan both had sons about Loni's age.
He went downstairs to give his only child the blanket. With it over her body, he let her rest. Yugi grabbed his phone from the counter and looked through the contacts. The first to find was his longtime friend Joey. As he found the number, he clicked the talk button and let it ring. When he heard the click of someone picking up, his heart stopped. 'Even if Joey has the same number, I still have no clue what I would say to him. I haven't kept in touch in over five years.' Yugi thought to himself.
"'Ello?" He heard a male voice with a jersey accent on the other side of the phone. Yugi knew exactly who it was.
"Joey Wheeler?" Yugi asked calmly.
"Yug? Is that you, buddy?"
"Yes, Joey its me. How have you been?"
The next morning Loni woke up in her fathers living room. Lifting herself up, she noticed her childhood blanket laying across her body. She moved the blanket away and went to the kitchen to pour her a cup of coffee. The young girl poured her cup, blew on it and took a drink. After the hot beverage went down her throat, she felt coming up behind her. Loni calmly put the cup down on the counter and got herself ready. She felt a lively aura coming towards her. As the aura got closer, Loni turned around and swung, only to have something catch it.
A blonde haired, blue eyed boy stood in front of her. He was five foot ten to Loni's four foot eleven. He was wearing a white tee shirt, jean jacket, and blue jeans, with white and black sneakers. His hair was a spiky mess, but not as spiky as Yugi's hair. His hair was worst managed than Loni's. To his wild out style, Loni had her brown/blonde bangs wild, but her black/red hair was smooth, straight and in a long ponytail. Also unlike the small young lady, he was a cocky kid.
"Watch it, you little aura physic. You keep using that gift of yours you're going to get yourself in trouble." The cocky blonde informed her."
"Christopher Wheeler, if you ever scare me like that ever again I'll put you so far into the ground your gonna have a T-Rex finger up your nose."
"Calm down Lon-Lon. Your dad invited me and my dad over to chat. Since they haven't spoken in years." Loni felt a sharp wince of anger as she walked past him out of the kitchen.
"I understand that. Oh and one more thing, Chris?" Loni turned around and slapped Chris right in the face. "Don't ever call me 'Lon-Lon' ever again." She lend her hand to help him up as they headed to the living room. 'I hate that name.' Loni thought to herself.
Yugi, Joey, Loni, and Chris all sat in the living room sharing stories and catching up. Joey was telling us how the twins Damion and Vincent were always causing trouble at the college. Even though Vincent was a student at the high school and him and Damion never got along. They were always driving Tristan up the wall. Yugi was telling Tea's story to Joey about Broadway and how shes becoming a success. He mentioned she should be coming to Domino to visit within the next couple of months for a break. Chris and Loni were talking about the Summer Tournament that the college and Kiba Corp was hold after finals.
While on that note, Loni excused herself to grab her deck off of the bookcase. She left her deck at her dads for two reasons. First was because being the daughter of a card shop owner, you would want to leave your cards with someone responsible, and she knew her dad would treat them with care. With that being said it was also cause it wasn't just her deck. Yugi had given Loni that deck when Yugi announced his retirement from duel monsters. And she was ready to show the new combo she found a couple of weeks ago.
As she walked back to the boys having their weird boy conversation in the living room, Loni walked past another photo of her mother and father with their friends. Tea, her mother was wearing a pink and white vest skirt with a blue one underneath with brown boots. Joey, Chris' dad was wearing a white shirt blue jeans and a green jacket with sneakers. Tristan Taylor, Damion and Vincent's dad, was wearing a white shirt, brown trench coat and black pants and brown shoes. Yugi, her father was wearing a standard Domino High school uniform. However, Loni found something odd about her dad in the picture.
'The guy in this picture looks a lot older than how old my dad would have been.' Loni shook out the thought and headed back to the conversation continuing in the living room.
"So, Loni, Chris, do either of you know if Damion or Vincent will be in the tournament?" Joey asked them.
"Damion, more likely. I left him a bitter taste in his mouth the last time we dueled. So possible just for friendly revenge. Vincent, on the other hand, fat chance. You have a better chance pulling Joey and Chris from an all-you-can-eat buffet than get Vincent to pick up a card." Loni exclaimed.
"That's so true. Speaking of the tournament, wasn't there a couple of cards you wanted to show us, Loni?"
"Yep. And I'm only trusting you three cause the Taylor Twins couldn't keep a secret to save their lives."
"Do you still have my deck, Atema?" Yugi asked her. Although Chris looked at Yugi funny, Joey knew exactly what Yugi meant. He also knew that Yugi was the only human in the world that could call Loni by the name of 'Atema.' Even Tea, Loni's own mother, wasn't allowed to call Loni by her middle name. That was a name especially for Yugi and Yugi only.
"Yes, daddy. I do still have your deck. There's no school like the old school. That's what I believe. But even the oldest decks need an update. And the modification I gave this deck will truly make people believe in "The Heart of the Cards."
"So spill! The suspense is killing me!" Chris exclaimed in excitement.
"Ok ok, I'll show you." Loni pulled out her deck. "You guys are going to love this."
