Chapter One:

The Invite

"Amazing! A one card turn around with Ojama trio for the win! Jim, what do you think of this Guys luck, and skill?"
"Well, if I didn't think he would have made it, I wouldn't be his sponsor would I? I think his deck is a complete turn around of where Yu-Gi-Oh! was going, down the tubes. Hopefully kids will learn from Him and make original decks for a change besides all this Monarch and Lightsworn crap that is being over used. That is why I sponsored him, because his true strength comes from running his own deck, not a variation of every one else's decks."

"Wow, harsh words to some of the viewers at home, but of course people, that is Mr. Kaimento's opinion and everyone's matters, especially when the kid he sponsors is now your WORLD CHAMPION! I give you Taichi Mokouna!"

Then, the phone rings. Sighing, I pick it up.
"Hello. Oh hi Andrew, you saw the duel I guess? Ya, I did too, and I loved every minute of it. An original deck, a mixed one that kicked Monarch butt! Okay, no problem, I'll bring my deck when I come tomorrow, we going to the tournament tomorrow? Okay, just making sure, I'll bring my cards. See you around noon, bye!"

I turn off the TV and get my deck to insure it was in shape for a tournament tomorrow evening. I couldn't wait, because if you didn't have money to buy a duel disk, this tournament would rent you one for a small fee. I couldn't wait to see my favorite cards in action. Since they came out with the Hologram inducing duel disks last month, Yu-Gi-Oh! took a turn for the better. A lot of people got into it, just because it wasn't a flat card game anymore.
I sit down to start on my deck in the living room, just as someone knocks on the door. I get up, a little annoyed because my Mom, sister, and step-dad went out and let me stay at home so I could do some school work, I finished at one o'clock last night so I could watch the finals, and no one should be calling on the house. Especially since we live in the middle of no where, up a holler.
I open the door to find a FEDEX guy with a box that had Konami on the side of it, with my name on the address. I quickly sign for it and take it inside to open it. Inside is another box, a battle city duel disk box. beside it was a deck box and a DVD. excited I put the DVD in and turn on the TV, just as both my cell phone and the house phone go off. Not wanting to waist minutes, I pick up the house phone first to see it is Andrew. Thinking it can wait, I push the play button on the remote to see a Japanese guy come on the screen.

"Paul, I hope this DVD with complementary, official duel disk and deck box made it safely to your abode. I am sending this to you personally to invite you to our First Annual Fight for the King contest. This is to see if you have what it takes to take on the newest king of games. Under your pro league deck box is the key to it. All you have to do is hold it in front of the box lid to unlock it. I hoped you didn't mind me contacting your class ring provider to get your ring size so your ring key would fit. If it does not, contact us with the number on the card in the box, and we'll be ready to get you a new one when you arrive. Your plane ticket is in there too, Yeager Airport is the one closest to your house if I am not mistaken so we made it out to that one. You still need a passport and a bit of spending money seeing as you are coming first to Japan and then to another foreign country of your liking that is hosting this tournament. We have sent over 500,000 invites in America alone, so please come prepared. Also the ban list being used is included. We will see you in a month. Oh By the way, if your mother does not approve, you can keep the disk for 50 dollars. The deck box is yours to keep. Good Bye."

In shock I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Me, going to Japan for this, there was no way. And if Andrew calls one more time I'll choke the life out of him personally. well, I might as well answer it.

"What Andrew!? Eh, congrats on what? How did you know I made that tournament? Oh, they announced it after the king interview and you made it too? Sweet, I just hope mom will let me go. Oh, wow there are two tickets here. I guess they expected mom to come. well, Andrew I got to fix my deck up before next month. Sorry, but tomorrows tournament is canceled for me. I need to make plans and arrangements. Later.

Sorry that this Chapter isn't that interesting and that it is short, I'll try to do better in future chapters!
