So, this is my attempt of a YuGiOh story. I don't own YuGiOh or any characters that come from it. Also, the "Clockwork" deck is something I made up.

?'s POV:

I thought to myself as I ran, "This is so going to make me look bad. I should've set my alarm clock!" I ran around the corner and bumped into someone causing my extra deck to spill. I apologized, "Sorry. I'm in a hurry to get to school." The girl who I bumped into replied as she picked up her cards, "Same here." After collecting our cards, I continued running to my school. We're suppose to meet up with this other school and have the top duelist duel against each other.

When I reached my school, the janitor explained, "They all left already, assuming that you're already on the bus." I groaned and asked, "Can you give me a ride?" He sighed and stated as he lead me to his car, "Next time, set your alarm clock." I nodded as he drove me to the school. I'm so in trouble.

I looked my extra deck and checked my cards, but my ace wasn't there! Maybe during that run in, my card got switched!

Crud.

Yuma's POV:

Astral stated, "You should've checked for Utopia while you still had the chance!" I complained, "If I did, I would've been late. I didn't expect for us to wait for the top duelist of this school." I looked at my switched card, Number m39: Clockwork Utopia. Just then the doors burst open.

A boy who was at the doors shouted, "Sorry for being late!" The teacher said, "Do set your alarm clock, Shadow." The boy, who I assumed was Shadow, replied, "Yes sir." He held up Utopia as he explained, "It's just, I got my ace switched." I ran up to him and exclaimed, "You're the guy who I bumped into on the way here!" He nodded and gave me Utopia back. "Can I have my Clockwork monster back, now?" I gave it back to him as the teacher of his school stated, "Well, it seems you two don't need to meet the top duelist. You're talking to them, after all!"

Shadow's POV:

So she's the top duelist of this school?! Well, this is awkward. I held out my hand and greeted, "Well, allow me to properly introduce myself. I'm Shadow." She shook it and replied, "Yuma. Nice to meet you."

My teacher, Mr. Smith, then said, "Now, let's begin the duel!" I smirked and said while walking to the duel area, "Just because you're a girl and we just meet, don't expect me to be holding back." She laughed and stated, "That's what I'm talking about! Bring it on!"

We shouted at the same time, "Duel!"

Third person POV:

Shadow: 4000
Yuma: 4000

Shadow shouted as he draw a card, "Time to kick start this thing!" He looked at his cards and continued, "And I think I'll start things off by summoning Clockwork Knight in attack mode!" A knight made of gears appear, wielding a sword and shield.

Clockwork Knight
Level: 4
Attribute: Earth
Type: Warrior/Effect
ATK: 1800

Shadow finished, "I end my turn with two face downs! Your move!"

Yuma looked at his field as she shouted, "I draw!" Astral appeared and said, "Careful, Yuma. Since he has a number, we should be prepared." Yuma nodded and replied, "Then I'll summon Gogogo Golem in defense mode!"

Gogogo Golem
Level: 4
Attribute: Earth
Type: Rock/Effect
DEF: 1500

She concluded, "I place three cards face down and end my turn."

Shadow's POV:

Well, she played it safe. Time to kick this up a notch. I shouted, "I draw!" I looked at the card that I drew and a smile crept onto my face.

Third Person POV:

Shadow then asked, "Now what's a knight doing without his horse? Oh, never mind. It's right here! Come forth, Clockwork Horse!" A mechanical horse gallops next to the knight.

Clockwork Horse
Level: 4
Attribute: Wind
Type: Beast/Effect
ATK: 700

Astral warned, "Here it comes..."

Shadow smirked as he concluded, "I overlay my two level 4 monsters to build the overlay network!" The students from his class chanted, "M39! M39!" Shadow shouted, "Allow me to introduce to you all, my favorite card! Number m39: Clockwork Utopia!"
