Chapter 1: It's Time to Duel!
It was a regular sunny day at the infamous Peach Creek Jr. High School in the season of spring. Inside was a classroom with a total of thirty desks with a teacher's desk near the chalkboard along with education-related posters of math, history, science and literature all around the room. There were two desks that turned to each other along showing two card mats on both tables along with a crowd of students around two boys playing a card game that looked to be a game of "Duel Monsters"; a card playing game that originally released in Japan then released in America so kids can play the game as well. For about a week since it came, Duel Monsters was the most popular card-trading game in America; it's been two years since its release.
"Yo, Lumpy. Earth to Ed! Hey, man. Are you there? It's your turn." said a young fourteen year old boy with black-colored hair with three spikes at the front, wearing a yellow shirt with a red stripe on the right side of the shirt, purple ends on both sleeves and collar, light blue pants, a wallet chain the left side, red shoes, and has a strange pyramid-like necklace around his neck with an eye on the front. That boy was Eddy Anderson.
On a another side of the desk was a fourteen year old boy named Edward Robertson, he had short orange hair and a thick monobrow, wearing a green jacket with two white small stripes on both sleeves, a red-and-white striped shirt under the jacket, dark blue pants and black shoes. Ed seems to be having trouble picking a card to play.
"Okay, let's see here. I got it! I'll play this guy." Ed said as he placed an Indian-like monster card on the mat with an attack number of 800 and a defense number of 400. Ed felt confident that he summoned a monster on the field that could beat Eddy, "That's a good one. Right, Eddy?"
Eddy nodded and smiled at his seeing he had confidence in himself, "Yes, Ed. That's a good one. But really, it's not good enough." Eddy said as he placed a green dragon monster card with an attack number of 1500 and a defense number of 800, thus destroying Ed's monster and ending the game. This shocked Ed big time, seeing that he lost... again.
"Aw, man! I lost again! How do you do that, Eddy?" Ed asked.
"I guess it's just luck." Eddy chuckled.
"Actually, it's more likely to be strategy in this game." answered a fourteen year old boy named Eddward Young.
Most people more likely call him "Double D" because of the two d's in his name. He wears a black sock with two white stripes on the left side as a hat, wears a red-orange colored t-shirt, purple shorts, long red socks to the length of his thighs and light blue shoes. He's been friends with Ed and Eddy for a long time.
"Hey, Double D. What's up?" Ed asked.
"I am well, Ed. Thank you for asking. It appears you have lost again." Edd said.
"Yeah. Eddy's real good at this game. I don't know how he does it."
"Well, it's like as Double D said; this card game has a lot of strategy and takes a lot of practice." Eddy answered.
"And speaking of strategy— how come you never show this type of intelligence in school, Eddy?" Edd asked.
"Hey, I can't do both, Sock-head! The reason is that I bring the strategy in this game is because it's fun. I don't do that smart mumbo-jumbo stuff in school, it's just too boring."
"Why am I not surprised?" Edd asked himself.
For Eddy, he's not that much of a fan of school. As much as he loves money, he loves playing the game of Duel Monsters the most. He's always the best at it, even though it's a strategy game. Truthfully, he's actually more focused on the game than scams and money combined.
"Well, anyway, Ed, if you really want to help out your deck, you can start at my granddad's game shop. He's got all the types of cards you can get. Even the rarest cards of all time." Eddy said.
Ed then excitedly got up from his seat and says, "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go, you guys!"
"Hang on, Ed. It's not time to go. We still only got five minutes until the bell." Edd said.
"Aw, man! Hey, Eddy, want to play again?"
"Sure. Why not? After this, we'll go straight to my granddad's shop and look at a special rare card he's got." Eddy said.
"Ooh! Can't wait to found out what it is!"
There was only one student sitting down his desk with a bored expression on his face, but yet was hearing out the entire conversation from the Eds. This student was wearing a red hat that was backwards covering his short orange hair, wearing a long sleeve yellow-green shirt, black shorts and black shoes. This student was Kevin Smith.
'A rare card? Could it be the card that I was searching for?' Kevin thought.
Near the game shop...
The Eds are now headed to the game shop to help Ed out with his strategy deck. Ed was so excited, he hopped around happily like a bunny.
"Oh, man. I wonder what kind of cards your grandpa's got, Eddy!" Ed said.
"To be honest, Ed. I agree with you. My granddad's always getting the best cards from around the world." Eddy replied.
"Speaking of card games, we have arrived, gentlemen." Edd pointed at the store.
"Yay! Let's go, guys!" Ed said, running to the store.
"Can't stop the big lump's eagerness for card games. Right, Sock-head?" Eddy asked.
"That's true, Eddy." Edd agreed.
Before they went inside the building, "Hey, guys!"
Ed, Edd and Eddy turned to see a young girl at the age of thirteen, she has long purple hair that covers her forehead and reaches at shoulder-length along with big, beautiful, violet eyes that matches her hair and light pale skin. She wears a pink t-shirt, two bracelets on both wrists, a short, light-blue skirt that's an inch above the knee, and brown cowboy boots. She had a face that all boys would fall for, except for the Eds because they already got one for Nazz. Her name was Clarissa Rivera. She and the Eds had been friends since she moved to the Cul-de-Sac neighborhood a year ago. She didn't care what anyone said about the three boys or her— all that matters to her was their friendship.
"Hey, Clarissa. How's it going?" Eddy greeted.
"I'm fine, Eddy. Thanks for asking." Clarissa smiled.
"Clarissa!" Ed yelled as he ran to her and hugged her very tightly, "I missed you, Clarissa!"
"Ed! It's only been... an hour since... sixth period...!" Clarissa breathed.
"Oh. Sorry." Ed said, letting her go.
"It's okay. So, what are you guys doing here?"
"We're trying to help Ed out to become better with his deck and strategy." Edd answered.
"And we're also going to see a special rare card that my granddad's got." Eddy finished.
"A special rare card? What is it?" she asked.
"I don't know. But let's go in and find out."
The game shop wasn't really a big fancy shop. but it wasn't a small dirty one either. This shop was a twenty-foot tall building with the symbol of games above the door. Inside the store, there were posters of Duel Monsters everywhere on the walls, along with displays of duel monsters cards on each stack and video games as well. At the very end of the other side of the store, there stands an old man sweeping the floor who looked to be at an age of sixty, he was the same size as Eddy, had the same hairstyle as him, but shorter, also wears a red shirt with khaki pants and regular boots.
"Hey, Granddad." Eddy greeted.
The old man turned to see Eddy and his friends at the door, "Eddy. Hey, how's it going?"
"It's good, Granddad. It's just that my friend, Ed, needs help with his deck."
"Oh, your friend needs help?"
"Not just that, though. I told my friends that you have a special rare card. So can you show it to us?"
"Rare card? My special card? Hm..."
Eddy's grandfather grasps his chin, thinking about showing his rare card to his grandson's friends.
"Come on, Granddad. Please! Please!" Eddy begged as he clapped his hands together in plead.
"Pretty Please?" Ed said doing the same thing.
"Hm... Ah, How can I refuse? I don't usually take this out, but you kids are going to be the first to see this." Eddy's grandpa said before he pulled out a small box containing the rare card.
The kids were eager to see what the card was. The elderly man opened the box, pulled out the card and revealed it to them. They were absolutely shocked to see what the card was.
"No way!" both Ed and Clarissa said.
"Is that...?" Edd questioned.
"It is. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon." Eddy answered.
The legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The most powerful dragons of all in Duel Monsters with an attack power of 3000 and defense power of 2500. It is said that no one has been able to defeat this great and mighty beast in battle and no monster has been able to survive against it.
"Yes, kids. This is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. So rare, so powerful, I never let it leave my hands. There are only four in the world." he stated as the kids still looked in amazement.
The card was then taken away by Ed trying to look at how shiny it is, "Pretty card... Ha-ha..."
The elderly man quickly took the card back from him, "Don't mess with it, Ed! This card is absolutely priceless."
"Hey, Gramps. What's so special about that card anyway?" Eddy asked.
"Well, Eddy, the reason that it's really special to me is not of how rare it is, it's actually because—"
He was interrupted by the sounds of a bell coming from the front door.
"Hello, can I help you?" Eddy's granddad asked as the kids turned to see who it was.
"If you can't, I wouldn't be surprised." answered a young man with a red hat, green shirt, black shorts, and is holding a large suitcase.
"Kevin?" the kids asked in unison.
"What are you doing here, Shovel-chin?" asked Eddy, annoyed.
"Not that it concerns you dorks, but I came to see the rare card that you were talking about earlier." Kevin answered.
"Please, why would you be interested in this card anyway?"
Kevin only smirked to this, "The reason is that if I hear that there's a rare card in any place, I come to seize it."
"You would, Shovel-chin. I bet you couldn't even duel me without trying to get a rare card."
Kevin walks into the store, "Please, like I would duel a loser like you. I have a better chance of playing Solitaire. I am the number one top ranked duelist of all in the country and the favorite to win the Duel Monsters Championship Tournament. Hmph, you dorks wouldn't last two minutes against me."
Eddy just wanted to punch Kevin in the face real badly, but Clarissa stopped him, showing that violence is never the answer. It is true what Kevin said; he is the top ranking Duelist of all time and is the undefeated champion for the past two years since the release of the game.
"Now, does this shop have any worthwhile cards or not?" Kevin asked before he looked down at the register table and sees the rare Blue-Eyes White Dragon; he was surprised, so he quickly went to the card to see it closely, "Can it be? The Blue-Eyes White Dragon in a dump like this?"
'It is! The card that I've been searching for...!' He thought.
"Well, enough window shopping. Is there anything else that I can help you with?" the grandfather said as he closed the box and pulled it to him.
Kevin then pulled out his suitcase on the table, surprising Eddy's grandfather, and opened it. The grandfather was amazed by what was in the case.
"Listen, old man. Give me your Blue-Eyes White Dragon and I'll trade you all of these."
In the case, there was a whole bunch of Duel Monsters cards that looked to be the rarest of all. This amazed the kids, even Eddy.
"Impressive, but no thanks." the elderly man replied.
This shocked the kids even more, that mouths dropped to the floor. (1)
Kevin looked a little frustrated, "Hmph. Fine, then. If you won't trade, maybe I'll buy it off of you. Name your price, money's no object. I can pay anything you ask."
For Kevin, he actually happens to be the richest kid in school since he is the son of the former owner of a company called "Smith Corporations;" a company that develops new technology for all types. Kevin now owns the company in place since his father mysteriously departed from the company. No one knows why though, not even Kevin.
"I'm sure you could. But this card means more than anything to me, not because of how rare or powerful it is, because of what it means to me." the elder stated, "It was given to me by a dear friend of mine from long ago. I treasure this card every day in remembrance of that friend. So, parting with this card is completely out of the question."
This answer shocked and angered Kevin, big time, 'No...!'
Eddy actually knew what his grandfather was doing, thinking at first he was wasting an opportunity of a lifetime. But he realized that card is special, not because it was rare, it is because of the friendship between him and his old friend. It reminded him the close friendship between him and his friends. From what Eddy's learning, he sees that money doesn't always bring happiness.
"So you would feel the same for it, even if it were a common card. Right, Granddad?" Eddy asked.
"Exactly, my grandson." he replied, "You see, this precious card has bonded with my heart."
Kevin slammed the suitcase and said, "Fine! I've had enough of your nonsense! Senile old fool...!"
He walked out of the store in anger and sat in his black limousine. The vehicle drives off and he thinks of what happened in frustration.
'Cards with a heart... Ridiculous! These cards are all about power and one way or another; his Blue-Eyes White Dragon card will be mine...' Kevin thought.
Later...
Outside was a large, glass-plated, five-story-tall building with the letters of SC standing for "Smith Corporations." Inside the building were Kevin and his men.
"Gentlemen, there's a little something I like for you to pick up at a certain place." Kevin said.
a raspy voice replied, "Gladly, master Kevin."
The next day, at the game shop...
Eddy's grandfather was cleaning up around the shop to keep it tidy. As he did, the sounds of a bell ringing came in.
"Good morning." he greeted turning to see three men at the door.
Three of them were wearing sunglasses and black suits, but only two were the tallest and one was short in the middle and bald-headed. The old man was suspicious about this.
"My master, Kevin Smith, would like to challenge you to a Duel. You will come with us now." the short man requested.
"And if I were to decline?" the old man questioned.
The sun gleamed in the short man's glasses, showing a threat was coming.
"I'm afraid I must... insist." he answered when the two tall men from behind took a step, showing that they will force him to come with them.
'Young Kevin just doesn't understand, but I'll teach him a lesson about the Heart of the Cards.' he thought.
Later, after school...
The Eds and Clarissa walking down the sidewalk from a long day of school.
"Man, what a day!" Ed said.
"I'll say." Clarissa agreed. (2)
"Hey, let's head down to the shop to see what other cards my granddad's got." Eddy suggested.
Everyone agrees to go to the shop. The kids arrived and went inside to see the shop was empty, no one was here.
"Mr. Anderson?" Edd called.
"Hello?" Ed called.
"Hey, Granddad. It's me, Eddy. Granddad?" Eddy called.
"Maybe he left?" Clarissa assumed.
"Maybe. But why would he leave the door open?" Eddy asked before the phone ranged; Eddy answers it, "Hello. Game-shop."
*How's it going, dork?*
Eddy was shocked to hear that familiar voice on the other line, "Kevin?!"
"Hey, Eddy. Your grandfather's here with me and he's not feeling too well. So, do me a favor and come pick him up." Kevin said with a sinister grin and chuckling.
"Kevin! What did you do to him, you jerk?!"
Sunset, at Smith Corporations...
The kids arrived at the building and ran into the elevator going up. As the elevator door opens, the kids see Eddy's grandfather on the floor.
Eddy runs to him, "Granddad! Granddad, are you all right?"
"Eddy, I tried to teach that boy, Kevin, a lesson about the Heart of the Cards, but I failed." the grandfather said in pain.
From behind, Kevin was standing there with a smirk on his face, "How's the old man doing?"
"Kevin, you delinquent! What did you do to him?" Edd said.
"We had a little duel, that's all. We each putted up a card as the grand prize. But since he was against a champion like me, there's was no chance for an old fool like him. Heh-heh." Kevin chuckled.
"Kevin, you should be ashamed of yourself!" Clarissa stated.
"Why should I, Clarissa? I played fair and look at the sweet prize I've won." he replied as he pulled out the Blue-Eyes card and ripped it in half.
This upsets the kids and Eddy's grandfather the most.
"My granddad's most precious card...!" said Eddy, shocked.
"Yes, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a very rare and powerful card. And this one will never be used against me." Kevin smirked.
"My Blue-Eyes White Dragon... My-My treasure..." the elderly man groaned.
"Granddad! Kevin, you slime-ball...! How could you do this to him?" Eddy said.
Eddy now just wanted to knock his lights out for this, but his grandfather stops him to tell him something.
"Eddy...! Here, take this." he holds a deck of cards out, "This is the deck that I used against him. I put my soul into these cards. Please use it."
Eddy looked to his injured elder, "Granddad, are you sure about this?"
"Yes, I'm sure. I've trained you all about this game and you know it better than I do. So please, take this deck and teach him respect about the Heart of the Cards."
"But Gramps, I got to get you to a doctor."
"Sounds like an excuse. Your friends can care for your pathetic grandfather... while you and I duel. How about it, dork? Are you up for it or are you just afraid of losing?" Kevin smiled evilly.
Eddy looked like he was about to have tears in his eyes from the frustration of Kevin's decision. But, a dopey voice came out.
"Take him, Eddy!"
Eddy turned to see Ed, Edd and Clarissa behind him, "Ed?"
"Eddy, you can take this guy on. I want you to teach that big jerk a lesson about what a real Duelist is all about!"
"Ed's right, Eddy. You have to do this for your grandfather!" Edd said.
"We're all right behind you, Eddy!" Clarissa said.
Eddy looked surprised, "Ed... Double D... Clarissa... Do you guys really think I can do this?"
"Eddy, we know you can do this. You're the best Duelist I've ever seen. We believe in you, buddy." Ed said.
"Don't worry about your grandfather, Eddy. We'll take care of him while you take care of Kevin." Edd said.
"You can do it!" Clarissa said.
"Guys..." his shock turned into a smile, "Thanks, you guys. Okay, granddad. I'll do it." Eddy said as he took the deck from his grandfather.
"I know you can do it, Eddy." the grandfather replied.
"Everyone, put your hands together and I'll mark us with a special sign." Clarissa said as she pulled out a marker and wrote on the Eds' and her hands.
The special mark looked to be a smiley face. The Eds were confused by what was on their hands.
"Huh? What's this, Clarissa?" Ed asked.
"It's a symbol of our friendship. So when Eddy is alone, he'll always remember we're on his side, no matter what." she answered.
Eddy nodded in agreement. Outside, Clarissa and the other two Eds were helping Eddy's grandpa into the ambulance van.
"Hey, Double D. Ed and I will help Eddy's grandpa get to the hospital. Why don't you go in there and cheer Eddy on?" Clarissa asked.
"Ok. Take care of him, Clarissa." Edd replied.
Inside a stadium...
The arena was a large room with two duel pods across each other and shows Kevin and Eddy on both sides of the pods.
"I designed this virtual stadium myself. Impressive, hmm? I think you'll agree. It adds a bit more life to the game." when he said that, the pods began to move toward each other, "We each start with 2000 Life Points; first player to hit zero loses. Are you ready to play, dork?"
"Playtime is over, Kevin!" Eddy said.
When Eddy said that, his pyramid necklace started to glow around him. Along with a word that can be heard loudly throughout the stadium.
"YU-GI-OOHHH!"
A huge beam came around him and started to disappear. Eddy was seen again, but had a whole new different look. His black hair was spikier, his eyes were sharper, he had a look of confidence, grew a few more feet taller, and was smiling.
Kevin was surprised by this transformation, "Huh? What the heck?"
"Now, Kevin. Prepare yourself. Because it's time to duel!" said the new man with a mature voice.
'What the heck happened to him? One minute, he looked like a wimpy kid who couldn't defend himself and now he looks like a totally new different person. Well, it doesn't matter to me anyway. He's still going to lose this match!' Kevin thought.
Kevin's LP: 2000
Eddy's LP: 2000
"Virtual systems ready. So, let's begin." Kevin puts his card down, "I'll start off first with the Hitotsu-Me Giant. Brace yourself, Eddy. You've never dueled like this before."
Soon, a light circle came in the middle part of the square zone and formed into a giant green cyclops with sharp teeth and a red eye.
Hitotsu-Me Giant - ATK: 1200/DEF: 1000
This took Yami Eddy by surprise, "What the? He just brought that monster from the card to life."
"Exactly, dorky. This is a dueling simulator. With each monster we summon, the simulator activates and brings the monster to life." Kevin explained.
"So, this is how you beat my grandfather. Well, I'm not going fall for it. I call upon the Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress!" Yami Eddy said as he laid his dragon card in Attack Mode.
A light circle came in his side of the field and brought to life the monster he summoned.
Winged Dragon - ATK: 1400/DEF: 1200
Edd came out to the arena in time, but only to see Eddy and Kevin dueling with enormous monsters.
"What in the world? How did those monsters come to life?" he asked himself.
The cyclops charges at the dragon, but Eddy stops it, "Fireball attack!"
The dragon did so. He launches an unbelievable fireball from his mouth and destroys the monster.
Kevin's LP: 1800
From the other side of the stands was a boy at an age of ten, he looks similar to Kevin— except for the "Shovel-chin." He is wearing small green jacket with a black t-shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes.
"Kevin! Are you ok?" the young boy asked.
Edd smiles to Eddy beating the monster, "Yes! Nice shot, Eddy!"
Kevin looked a little struggled from that attack, even though it was a virtual one.
"That was impressive, Eddy. For a beginner. But how will you deal with this?" Kevin said as he laid his clown monster in Attack Mode.
The light came and brought the monster to life.
Saggi the Dark Clown - ATK: 600/DEF: 1500
"Saggi the Dark Clown? But that monster hardly has any attack strength." Yami Eddy stated.
"True, your dragon has the attack power of 1400 while my dark clown has only 600, but if I combine it with this card..." Kevin replied as he placed a card down.
Yami realized what his opponent putted in, "A Magic Card!"
"That's right, Eddy. The Negative Energy Generator. It increases my monster's attack power by three." Kevin said.
He was right, the card increased his clown's power from 600 to 1800.
"Now Dark Clown, attack with Dark Light!" he commanded.
The clown created some kind of dark energy ball and launched it at Eddy's dragon, thus destroying the beast.
Eddy's LP: 1600
"As you can see, combining cards can be very well effective. Your move, loser." Kevin said.
Yami Eddy looked a little frustrated from the monster's attack.
'I'll admit, he's good. He knows every aspect of this game. But my grandfather put his whole knowledge, his whole heart, into this deck. I have to believe that it holds some secret strategy...' Yami drew his next card and looked disappointed that it was a piece of a monster, 'This card is useless. I have to beat the Dark Clown with something else. Maybe I can use a different monster, in Defense Mode. My monster will be destroyed, but at least my Life Points will be safe.' Eddy thought as he placed a different monster face-down.
'Hmph. The dork thinks he can just defend his Life Points just by placing his monster face-down. Well, it won't work against me!' Kevin thought.
"Dark Light Attack!"
The clown unleashed another dark energy attack at Eddy's defensive monster.
"Hang in there, Eddy!" Edd rooted to his friend.
During Eddy's next two turns, the clown kept attacking every Defense-Position monster Eddy places. Kevin smirked and chuckled while Eddy looked to be frustrated, thinking the situation wasn't looking good.
"You're not doing fair than the old man did, Eddy. Your deck is just as weak and pitiful as your gramps." Kevin said.
"My grandfather is a great man and a better duelist than you'll ever be! He entrusted me with his deck and I can feel his heart within it. I doubt that you have that kind of faith in your cards, Kevin." Yami Eddy stated.
Kevin looked confused by what he meant by that.
"But I believe in my grandfather's deck..." Yami said as he drew his card to see what it was and had a grin on his face, "...and my faith has rewarded me with Gaia, the Fierce Knight— with a destructive power of 2300!"
A large beam came into the field and it revealed to be a large knight sitting on a horse with two battle swords.
Gaia, the Fierce Knight – ATK: 2300/DEF: 2100
Kevin looked worried of what was going to happen. The knight came charging at the clown and attacked it with its large sword, thus destroying Kevin's monster.
Kevin's LP: 1300
"Way to go, Eddy!" Edd cheered.
"All right, Smith, your move." Yami said.
"Ha! This will be over sooner then you think, dork!" he drew his card and smirked, "I summon my Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
The beam grew large and revealed it to be the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Eddy and Edd couldn't believe it at all, but Eddy was shocked the most.
"What the?!" Yami said.
"Impossible! We all watched Kevin tear the card in half!" said Edd, shocked.
"Surprised? Did you think that your grandpa was the only one to possess a Blue-Eyes White Dragon?" Kevin asked, "Blue-Eyes, attack with White Lighting!"
The dragon launched a white beam from its mouth and destroyed Eddy's knight. It caused Eddy's Life Points to go down badly.
Eddy's LP: 900
"Your fierce knight is destroyed. Faith or no faith, this duel will fall to my superior. Power is what's all about in this game, you loser. Faith is for weaklings, like your pathetic grandfather. No matter what card you play, my Blue-Eyes will destroy every last one of them. There's nothing you can do. So, how will you handle against two?" (3) Kevin questioned before a beam came in and showed another dragon in play with its kin, "Why don't you just admit defeat, dork? There's nothing you can do to stop me!"
Yami Eddy sees that the situation was even worse when there were two dragons on the field. It didn't look so good for him.
Meanwhile, at the hospital...
Ed and Clarissa were helping Eddy's granddad into the hospital room. The elder didn't look so well; he had oxygen mask over his mouth to help him breathe better and was lying on the hospital bed.
"Don't give up... Eddy..." the grandfather murmured.
Now, back at the stadium...
'I won't give up! Granddad's counting on me...' Eddy thought before he drew his next card and was relieved to see what it was, 'A Magic Card!'
"Swords of Revealing Light! It stops all monsters on your side of the field for three turns." Yami Eddy stated as three swords came from the sky and landed right in front of the dragons.
"Please. What good would a three-turn-delay do for you?" Kevin scoffed.
'He's right. I can't do anything with these cards. They're just a bunch of... pieces! How can I use these against an expert like Kevin?' Eddy thought.
Then, a voice of an elderly man came into his head, "For someone whose using faith, you're giving up too easily, Eddy..."
Eddy turned to see his granddad behind him in his spiritual mind.
"Listen, some cards are like a puzzle... You have to put all the pieces in the proper place..."
"So, you mean like my Millennium Puzzle...?" Eddy asked.
"Exactly, Eddy... Every item has a piece to solve..."
His grandfather started to disappear into the darkness.
"Granddad...!" Eddy called reaching his hand into the darkness.
"Like the pieces of a puzzle, Eddy... Remember...!" the elder echoed.
'Puzzle! Every card has a piece to solve... Wait! Granddad once said...' Eddy thought as he memorized what his grandfather had said before.
Flashback...
"Duel Monsters have only one unstoppable monster: Exodia. But he can only be summoned by five special cards. A summon that no one has ever accomplished to this day."
End flashback...
'A summon that no one has ever accomplished...'
"Quit your stalling, dork or you will forfeit the match!" Kevin said.
"I never forfeit!" Yami Eddy said back.
He drew his next to see what it was, 'Another piece of the puzzle!'
"Draw any card you like, dork! It won't change a thing. My dragons may be stopped for three turns, but my next monster is under no such spell!" Kevin said as he laid his monster in attack mode. It was a very large man-like monster with two sharp teeth and had two large, sphere-shaped gavels with spikes.
Judge Man – ATK: 2200/DEF: 1500
"The Judge Man— with an attack power of 2200! Now my monster, attack his face-down!"
The fiend assaulted Eddy's face-down monster and destroyed it. Luckily for Eddy, he didn't lose any Life Points.
Eddy drew his next card, 'I can attack with Dark Magician, but he won't stand a chance once Kevin's dragons are free of my spell. Oh, well. Here goes nothing...'
He played his Dark Magician in attack mode. His monster looked human, but was wearing a purple spell-caster suit and holds a long scepter with an orb inside.
Dark Magician – ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000
"Dark Magician, attack!" Yami Eddy commanded.
The magician holds his palm out and used a spell to destroy Kevin's monster.
"Your Judge Man falls!"
Kevin's LP: 1000
Kevin doesn't seem to worry at all, "Hmph... A sacrifice that doesn't even faze me. Though my dragons are still stopped... for one more turn. My next card is... the third Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"What?!"
A beam came out and showed to be the final Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
"Now my dragon, attack!"
The dragon unleashed a white beam and destroyed the Dark Magician completely. Now, it really doesn't look good for Eddy as his Life Points went down bad.
Eddy's LP: 400
"How's your faith now, dorky?" Kevin mocked, "For my next turn, all of my dragons will be free to attack you. This game is over, no matter what card you draw. I mean, honestly, you were never a match for me."
"Don't listen to him, Eddy! You still have a chance to beat him!" Edd rooted.
'I know that, Edd! But still, I can't believe it. Kevin had three Blue-Eyes this entire time. He only wanted my granddad's card so it won't be used against him. The only chance I have now is to put all the pieces of Exodia together. It's the only chance I got. But... I don't think I can do this...' Eddy thought in doubt.
When Eddy thought this, his deck started to drift away from him.
"The deck! It senses my doubt!" Yami Eddy said.
Then an echo of Eddy's real voice comes out, "Ah...!"
"Don't lose focus, Eddy! Don't lose faith! Concentrate!"
He sees and remembers what was on his hand, 'Our friendship symbol!'
Soon, four hands came on to the deck and revealed to be Ed, Edd and Clarissa's hands on his deck.
"Eddy, no matter what happens; we're all right here with you..." Clarissa said.
"Eddy, you got to believe in yourself..." Edd said.
"You can do it, Eddy... Kick Kevin's butt...!" Ed said.
Eddy smiled to them, knowing there all right there with him.
"They're right! I have to believe in my cards, like my friends believe in me..." Yami Eddy said as he drew his card and smiled.
"Draw your last pathetic card so I can end this, Eddy." Kevin smirked.
"My grandfather's deck has no pathetic cards, Smith. But it does contain..." he then showed the card he drew, "...the unstoppable Exodia!"
Kevin was now in fear, real fear. He never thought Eddy would even have Exodia in his deck.
"Ah! No way, man!" yelled Kevin, in fear.
"I assemble all five special cards! All five pieces of the puzzle!"
A large circle with mysterious signs and a star in the middle came in to the field. One arm from the left came out first, then another from the right came out next, and a head started to show through the circle. It was a large Egyptian-like monster with chains on its hands and legs along a cobra on is head. The monster was even larger than the dragons.
"E-Exodia! T-There's no way, man! No one's been able to call out him!" Kevin said, cowering in fear.
"Exodia... obliterate!" Yami Eddy commanded.
The large monster unleashed a large, yellow-orange beam from its hands and destroyed all of Kevin's dragons completely. The game has ended and Eddy has won the Duel.

"Yes! You did it, Eddy! You won!" Edd cheered.
"No way! My brother never loses!" said the boy who is said to be the brother of Kevin.
"You only play for power, Kevin and that is why you lost. But if you put your heart in the game, there is nothing you can't do." Yami Eddy said.
Kevin looked frustrated, "But how? How can I have lost to him?!"
"Kevin, if you truly want to know..." a glowing eye then suddenly appeared on Eddy's forehead, "OPEN YOUR MIND!"
He held his right hand towards Kevin and used a Mind Crush on him, Kevin looked into eye and glass broke everywhere in his head. Kevin looked to be stunned and went down on his knees.
"There, Kevin. Maybe now you'll begin to see."
Back at the hospital...
Eddy's grandpa was in the hospital lying in bed with a heart sensor and mask breather over his mouth, while Ed and Clarissa were watching over him. He started to wake up and the kids were relived to see him awake.
"He's awake!" Clarissa said.
"Eddy won..." the grandfather said quietly.
Meanwhile...
There inside a dark room with an open light and an open door showing a man at the door.
"Mr. Pegasus. Kevin Smith, our uncontested champion, he's been defeated in a duel, sir. By someone named Eddy Anderson..." said the mysterious man.
Inside the room was a man sitting down on his chair with a red wine in his hand. He was wearing a red business suit with white shoes, along with white long hair.
"Hm..." Pegasus said with a strange left eye that looked similar to Eddy's puzzle, shining in the dark; telling that more trouble is coming and it's worse.
Woo! That was kind of awesome, wasn't it? I came up with the idea of this story when I read a bunch of Yu-Gi-Oh!/EEnE crossovers. Not really that much there. Kind of disappointed me when there was only three stories. So I made the idea of Yu-Gi-Oh! Ed, Edd n Eddy style. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Thanks for readings! I would really appreciate the reviews on this story.
(1) I made a rhyme!
(2) I did it again!
(3) I'm a roll, b*tch!
