Chapter 1
The Fated Duel
He had lived in a backwater town with plenty of friends. Those were simpler and much calmer days. Like any other teenager in this world, Andre Neromaki went go to school and played Duel Monsters. in the cafeteria, he always had a friend in a boy named Toshiro Hitsugaya, who had his always impressive Hyorinmaru deck.
Their matches were something fierce, but very friendly. Toshiro but very was a tough opponent. Of course he was. One wasn't a two-time local champion at the card shop for nothing. But despite his skills, and impressive wins, Andre won each time, making him a worthy opponent for Toshiro and at times a fierce rival. They would be neck and neck with someone going down to their last hundred Life Points. There were times when it looked like Toshiro would defeat Andre, but if by magic or an unseen force aiding him, Andre drew just what he needed to gain the win over him.
King of Ironwood High School they dubbed him. The title alone brought him more friends than he ever dreamed he would have.
Then one day…it would all be taken away.
Andre found himself having to move because his parents got new jobs at industrial Illusions, located smackdab in the middle of some big city called Domino.
There was nothing he could do to change their minds. Weeks after school let out, Andre's family packed all their belongings and off they flew to their new home.
The summer holidays had ended and Andre found himself making no new friends. it seemed like every duelist in this city had an over bloated ego. They were no fun to play against, and when they would lose, they turned to parasites, always tailing after Andre to get a win over him.
"Have you made any new friends?" Andre's mother asked.
"No," Andre replied stirring his ramen around and around in the bowl. it started to grow cold.
"Why not?" his father asked, his eyes glued to the flatscreen over their table showing a duel between a girl with flaming red hair and a duelist with a ridiculous luchador gimmick.
Why not?
As if he needed to explain himself again.
This city. These people. He hated it. School had finally began. His classmates. He hated them, too.
The way they played was so…over the top and cringy. They were just bursting with energy. Domino may have been the birthplace of Duel Monsters, but damn, he wished these kids would turn it down a notch.
They were so cheerful and happy over nothing. Day after day, Andre would look in a few shops to see people playing. Being a little arrogant and prideful of his game, he thought the moves they made weren't impressive so he ignored them. Nobody cared to make a good deck, they were just playing for the fun of it.
Andre decided to look in once last place. A quaint little shop that sold games that was simply called Game Shop. Inside, there were young players dueling with decks overflowing with cards. Some were too young to even care for their cards.
There was a boy from preschool with a Firewall Dragon. And it was unsleeved! The nerve of him. His hands were sticky with chocolate and it was getting all over the card.
Argh! it was such a painful thing to see. No worthwhile opponents here, Andre thought. He turned to leave.
But then he spotted a kid with golden black and red spiky hair playing against another kid with spiked hair colored orange and bright red to make it look like flames.
The kid was attacked directly by a Quintet Magician, which ended the game. His cold, menacing, blue eyes seemed to flare when he looked at the boy with spiked hair.
"Argh! You just got lucky! I will be victorious and prove I'm the best duelist ever. So just you wait!"
The kid with the spiked hair gave a friendly laugh as he shuffled his deck. "Well, all you need is a little practice. Maybe…just maybe, you'll beat me." He turned to the door and saw Andre.
"Uh oh," Andre said to himself. "I better get going before they come out here," I had said to myself.
"Yugi do you know him?" asked the kid with flaming hair, picking up his stuff.
Yugi shook his head. "Not a lot but he's in some of my classes. Hey, welcome to the Game Shop. If you wanna play at the tables, I'm sorry. We're closing in a few minutes. You'll have to come back tomorrow. Otherwise, you're free to make one final checkout"
Andre bowed. "No thanks. I…I have to get going anyway."
He walked outside, the bell over the door rang as it swung open. He paused and rubbed his chin.
"Yugi? It can't be him. The King of Games?"
At school the next day, Andre found himself running into Yugi again.
"Hey, you're Andre, right?" Yugi asked, chasing him down.
Andre turned and gave a groan. "Yeah, I am, but who are you?"
"Well I'm Yugi Muto, I've heard a lot about you."
"Yugi Muto!" said Andre. "You're the winner of the Duelist Kingdom and Battle City Tournaments, right? It's an honor. What do you want with me?"
"Uhh…" Yugi said bashfully, and rubbing the back of his head. He didn't like his newfound fame. Like Andre, he wanted things quiet and preferred to be with his small group of friends. "Well, I heard you were really good. How about a duel?"
This brought life back into Andre. Finally. An opponent worthy of his talents.
"Me? You want to duel me? Yeah. Ok let's go. But you better be prepared," I said to him.
When the school courtyard was empty and cleared of students, Andre and Yugi brought out their Duel Disks, concealed in their backpacks. Yugi took his deck out of the black deck case strapped to his belt. The edges of the cards were glimmering in gold, telling Andre that they were from the expensive Gold Series packs. Not only was Yugi skilled, but his deck was shiny, with every spell, trap, and monster shimmering with every rarity imaginable.
Andre's deck wasn't as fancy as Yugi's was, but he knew that skills were what made a duelist, not flash. But this was Yugi Muto. The World Champion. He had both.
Andre Neromaki
8000 life points
Vs
Yugi Muto
8000 life points
DUEL!
Andre drew.
"I'll start this duel off by playing the spell card, Cost Down. By discarding one card, I can lower the level of all the monsters in my hand by two. Now I play Summoned Skull in attack mode. And then I play one card face down. I end my turn."
Yugi smirked. Cost Down. Nothing he hasn't seen before.
"Ok my turn. I draw. To start my turn, I activate Swords of Revealing Light."
A hundreds of glowing swords rained down on Andre's playing field. Summoned Skull hissed as he was frozen in place.
"With my swords out in play, your monsters can't attack for the next three turns. I then end my turn with two cards face-down.
Andre scoffed and drew his next card. "I set a monster. Then I activate the Dark Magic Curtain. Now all I have to do is pay half my Life Points to special summon my Dark Magician in attack mode!"
Andre summoned a Dark Magician with dark purple armor and red glowing trim. His skin was bluish-green and his hair colored violet.
"Because of Dark Magic Curtain, I can't summon anymore for the rest of the turn, so I end my turn," and told him to make a move.
Yugi smiled. "Ah! You like the Dark Magician too?" he said cheerfully as he drew his card.
Andre smiled back and nodded. "It's one of my favorites. This card was given to me by an old friend of mine."
"Let's see who plays him better," said Yugi. "I discard a Dark Magician from my hand to special summon Apprentice Illusion Magician."
ATK/2500 DEF/1700
"She's a cute monster," said Andre. "But my Summoned Skull is stronger."
"I'm not done," said Yugi. "Now with her effect, I add a Dark Magician to my hand. Next, I play Dark Magical Circle, which lets me draw a spell. I end my turn."
Andre drew. He grinned causing a shiver to go down Yugi's spine.
"You should know, Yugi, Dark Magician isn't my only favorite. Watch as I sacrifice Summoned Skull and the monster I set in defense mode, to summon my very own Blue Eyes White Dragon! In attack mode!"
"What!?" cried Yugi. "That's not possible. I thought Kaiba was the only one in the world with the Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
He stopped to stare at Andre and his dragon. Andre smiled. He thought for a moment that Yugi was showing fear. He grimaced when Yugi's gave a confident grin to show he had no fear of the dragon he played.
How and why Andre got that card, it didn't matter to Yugi. Andre fell for his trap.
"I activate the trap card, Eternal Soul, this will let me summon my own Dark Magician! And with his summoning my Dark Magical Circle activates and banishes your Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"NO!" Andre shouted.
The Dark Magical Circle began to spin and let out a deep humming sound before it fired a bright white laser at the Blue-Eyes, blowing it to bits.
"My Blue-Eyes!"
Yugi waited for the dust to clear to finally start speaking. "I don't know how you got your hands on a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Andre, but it was foolish to think it would give you an edge over me. Am I surprised? Sure. Scared? Ha! in your dreams."
"Oh no! I…I end my turn," said Andre. He felt something he had never felt before in a duel. it was fear.
No fair! I didn't even get a chance to play my Blue-Eyes. Yugi is good.
"My turn!" said Yugi. "I play Card of Sanctity, so we both draw up to six cards."
"You sure you want to do that?" Andre said confidently. "A whole new hand means a whole new game."
"Then we'll see who has the better hand," said Yugi. "I play Polymerization, fusing together the Dark Magician in my hand with Gaia the Fierce Knight to form Dark Cavalry!"
Andre gasped and took a step back. "No way! Your two best monsters from Duelist Kingdom have a fusion!?"
Indeed they did. Dark Magician came riding out of a magical vortex on top of a magical steed. He wore black armor outlined in gold and instead of a scepter, he carried a powerful enchanted lance.
ATK/2800 DEF/2300
Yugi formed a fist and glared at Andre. "Dark Cavalry's attack increased by 100 for every spell and trap on the field in the graveyard."
Dark Cavalry's horse reared up on its hind legs and neighed. The magician riding him held out his saber and absorbed the power bonus increasing his attack to 3500.
"Not even my Blue-Eyes can stand up to that!" shouted Andre.
"And I'm far from done, Andre. You said come prepared, but it looks like you are the one who should have been prepared. Nothing in your deck can stand up to the bond I have with my cards and the new power that lurks in my deck. Behold, I summon Magician's Rod. This card allows me to draw a spell. Wanna see it? Well, here it is! The powerful Chaos Form ritual! I offer my Dark Magician to summon the all-powerful, Magician of Chaos!"
Dark Magician crossed his arms over his chest and sunk into a black hole. Sparks of electricity were snapping out of the vortex in all directions. Finally, something started to rise out of the vortex. Dark Magician, but he was supped up in black armor with red leather straps and a scepter that hovered in front of him as though it had a life of its own.
Andre stared down three powerful magicians. Magician of Chaos with 2500 ATK. Dark Cavalry with its boosted 3500 points, and the Apprentice Illusion Magician, whose 2000 ATK was not so cute anymore.
With this attack. it was game. Andre was finished. Or was he?
"I activate the Trap Card, Waboku! Now, I take zero damage this turn!"
Three priestesses garbed in blue appeared and chanted a prayer that stopped the magicians from attacking.
Yugi had no choice but to stand down. "Alright. It's your turn. You saved yourself. For now."
The wind blew around Andre. "It's my turn I draw. I reveal a Blue-Eyes White Dragon card in my hand to special summon, Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon!"
"Huh! He has that, too?"
The cybernetic version of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon flew over the courtyard and hissed at Yugi.
Andre felt like the tides were turning now. "Now, with his effect, I can destroy a card on the field. Say goodbye to your Dark Cavalry!"
Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon screeched and shot a sparkling blue laser at Dark Cavalry!"
The horse neighed in pain and exploded.
"Argh!" Yugi grunted, shielding himself from the blast. Bits of armor sprinkled the air.
"Next," said Andre, "I play Lord of Dragons and use the Flute of Summoning Dragon to summon two more Blue-Eyes to the field!"
Andre's second and third Blue-Eyes flew from the sky and landed behind him with a great crash, creating a fierce wind.
"Next, I use the spell card, Burst Stream of Destruction! This will destroy ALL your monsters on the field!"
Blue-Eyes White Dragon rose up into the air and launched its powerful attack, destroying only the Apprentice Illusion Magician. Magician of Chaos's staff rose up and formed a barrier to protect him.
"What's going on?" Andre cried. "My Blue-Eyes should have killed your Magician!"
"Have you forgotten about my Eternal Soul?" said Yugi. "It will protect any Dark Magician from being destroyed by card effects, and since my Magician of Chaos is treated as a Dark Magician, your Burst Stream of Destruction has no effect on him. Also, since you've activated a spell, my Magician of Chaos will destroy one of your cards. Since Lord of Dragons protects your dragons from effects, I will target him."
Magician of Chaos launched a spell of green lightning at Lord of Dragons, evaporating him.
"Your Magician of Chaos is strong," said Andre. "But not strong enough. I still have my third Blue-Eyes. Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack his Magician of Chaos with White Lightning."
"Oh no!" shouted Yugi.
BANG!
Magician of Chaos grunted and shattered to pieces, causing Yugi to lose 500 Life Points.
Yugi smiled. "Thank you. I knew you would do that."
"Huh?"
"When my Magician of Chaos is destroyed I'm allowed to summon this card from my hand, ignoring its summoning conditions. Rise, Black Luster Soldier – Super Soldier!"
"Whoa!" Andre cried out.
With his dying breath, Magician of Chaos cast one more spell and summoned the mighty warrior from Yugi's hand.
He stood ten feet over Yugi. His red and gold armor was glowing brightly and the two red plumes cresting his helmet swayed in the wind.
ATK/3000 DEF/2500
"I end my turn," said Andre.
"It all rides on this," said Yugi. "Draw! I use the spell, Mage Power. This will increase my Black Luster Soldier's attack by 500 for each spell and trap on my field. My spell and trap will boost his strength to 4000! Go, Black Luster Soldier – Super Soldier! Attack his Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
Black Luster Soldier – Super Soldier grunted and charged at Andre's dragon. With one powerful thrust, he cut off the dragon's head, dealing 1000 points of damage to Andre.
"My dragon!" Andre cried.
"And that's not all," said Yugi. "Black Luster Soldier – Super Soldier will inflict damage to your Life Points equal to the ATK points of the monster he destroyed!"
Andre braced himself. Black Luster Soldier – Super Soldier sliced him across the chest.
"Arghh!"
His Life Points decreased to 4000.
"You've lost half your Life Points," boasted Yugi. "What can you do to stop my soldier, Andre?"
Maybe I should just quit. Andre thought. Not even my Blue-Eyes White Dragons could stand a chance against the King of Games. it took all my best cards to get rid of his Magicians. Now he has an upgraded version of the Black Luster Soldier on the field and with a power boost at that.
He looked at his deck.
Come on deck. I really need you to come through for me.
"I draw!" Andre sighed. "Yugi. You played a good game. But I will defeat you. I activate the spell, Pot of Greed. It allows me to draw two cards." He drew. "Yes! With these cards, I finish our game. I play Silver's Cry! With this card, I can bring back a Blue-Eyes monster from the Graveyard. Return my dragon!"
Andre's Blue-Eyes materialized from thin air and roared as it hovered over Andre.
"Now, for my final card. I play, Polymerization! I fuse my two Blue-Eyes and my Blue-Eyes Alternative Dragon together to create the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
"Urgh!" Yugi grimaced as the three-headed beast emerged.
That monster, too? Who is this kid?
"Attack his Black Luster Soldier – Super Soldier with Neutron Blast!"
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's attack atomized Yugi's warrior. The blast created a bright-blue mushroom cloud that sparked with bursts of electricity. Yugi yelled at the impact. His legs were giving way to the shockwave the holograms created.
"Finally, I play the quick-play spell, De-Fusion. Now my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon returns as the three Blue-Eyes I used for its fusion materials. Attack him and end the duel no!"
"NOOOO!" Yugi cried. He crossed his arms over his chest to shield himself from the blast of three Blue-Eyes. It was no use. He was launched halfway across the courtyard and landed on his back with a thud.
Later
"Say, Andre, can I ask you something?" said Yugi as they were walking home.
"Yeah, what is it Yugi?" Andre asked.
"I was just wondering where you acquired most of your cards to the point that you almost made my deck mixed in with some of Kaiba's cards," he said.
"Oh, well, it's a long story. But I will say, those cards you and those big dogs in pro leagues play are starting to become more mainstream. I heard Pegasus is going to release a Blue-Eyes White Dragon structure deck next month. I'm guessing it must have been painful for Seto Kaiba to learn that. Since my dad works for industrial Illusions and I was the top-ranked duelist in my state back home, I was able to get some of these new cards first. Cards should be for everyone."
"You are so right," said Yugi. "And I don't think Kaiba is at all pleased to learn that his Blue-Eyes are going to start being printed in mass now. It must have taken a lot of money to convince him to do that. Still nothing will rival the value of the original cards."
As we rounded the corner coming to Yugi's grandpa's game shop but before we could open the door we heard a shout from behind us belonging to Yugi's best friend Joey wheeler.
"Hey, Yugi," he said as he passed by me to get inside the shop. So, does your grandpa have any new cards? I really need to improve my deck. Oh, yeah. I've been meaning to ask. Who's this?"
He pointed back at Andre with his thumb.
Andre scoffed. "Of course you wouldn't know me that well. You hardly make any effort to pay attention on what's going on in class."
He brushed past him to look at all the cards in the shop.
"Say what?" Joey shouted as he ran inside and grabbed Andre by my collar looking like he was about to hit him.
"Care to repeat that, hotshot?"
Yugi had intervened and stopped Joey.
"Joey calm down and Andre that wasn't necessary. You two should try to get along and be friends."
"Fine I'll play nice with Wheeler for now, but let me make this clear. You get in my face like that again and well…" He chuckled. "You'll wish you hadn't."
"Hey wise guy where do you get off saying that to me," he shouted back at Andre.
"Well if you're that mad about it why not vent out your anger in a duel. A "Grudge Match" if you say."
That caused Joey to calm down.
"Fine we'll settle this tomorrow on top of the school's roof is that ok," he said rather smugly.
Andre shook his head. "Sadly tomorrow will not work as I have not only spend most of the day doing my school work. I also must revamp my deck to well how I should say this, to absolutely destroy you. But hey you might get lucky and beat me."
Yugi narrowed his eyes. Andre was a good duelist, but he was rather smug and rude. He was already stinging from the defeat earlier.
"I've spoken to Yugi. It seems that your entire deck is based on luck, so you might have an advantage over me or not but who knows I might enjoy myself against you."
Andre arrogantly walked by him to buy a few packs of cards that hopefully had some good cards in them.
"Well, when can we have our duel, hot shot?" Joey asked impatiently as Andre purchased a few packs.
Andre casually took the new cards out of the pack. "Well, given that I'm busy this week, how about this weekend? No duel disks just game mats."
"That won't be a problem," said Joey. "My duel disk is getting upgraded with the newest software, so I won't be using it for a few weeks. So, any terms you wanna make."
"No, not really. How about the fact that I can trust you if I ever need a favor?"
Joey was confused. He raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Huh? A favor like what?" he asked?"
"Well, the need of a favor hasn't popped up yet so we will have to see Joey," I said to him.
"So what do you want if you win Joey one of my cards, for me to be nicer, or something that only benefits you some other way," I said to him.
"Nothing other than the fact that I can count on you to lose against me when it's time to duel."
Andre had busted out laughing at the thought before looking at Joey and Yugi.
"Yeah, know you guys are alright. I'll be your rival Joey. But let's not get ahead of ourselves till after we've had the duel."
As Andre was opening the last of his cards, he had found something that shouldn't have been there. Joey swiped the card from him to look at it.
"Andre what's up man?" he asked as he looked at the card and flipped out at the fact it was an Obelisk the Tormentor card. But in Orange tint like regular effect monsters," and handed it to Yugi.
"What the hell's the meaning of this Yuge?" Joey asked.
Yugi looked at the card. "First the Blue-Eyes White Dragons are going to be mass produced. Then rumors of the Legendary Dragons being made into playable cards. Now this. Pegasus is letting anything being used now."
"Makes sense," said Andre. "Nobody should have their very own OP monsters just for themselves. It's not fair.
"That's nuts," said Joey. "So that means anyone and their mother can have their own God Cards now?"
"Well," said Yugi, "these cards look playable. I mean look at these effects. They are quite different than the real ones I used before. in fact, they are tamer. And mortal."
"Mortal?" Andre asked.
"it means they can be destroyed by effects so long as they're not directly targeted by them," Yugi said, handing the card back to Andre. "I don't like this at all as it disrespects the legend and magic of those monsters, but you know Pegasus. Business comes first."
"Well now that makes three god cards in my possession," Andre had said out loud causing both Joey and Yugi to get wide eyed.
And before either Joey or Yugi could say anything, Andre unbuttoned the front pocket of his school blazer and held out The Winged Dragon of Ra and Slifer the Sky Dragon.
"As you can see," Andre boasted, "I am prepared for almost anything. And for the record back home the score was three hundred to zero meaning I have never lost."
Joey stuttered. "T-Three hundred victories without a single loss? That's crazy, huh Yugi?"
Andre laughed. "What's wrong Joey afraid you won't beat me and end my winning streak?"
"He's very tough Joey he beat me without too much effort," said Yugi.
"You're kidding? He really beat you, Yugi?"
Yugi nodded. "Yeah, and it was just a friendly game. If this was an official match, I wouldn't be the King of Games anymore."
"Trust me Yugi," said Andre. "If I had wanted your title I would've played you for it. But as I am now, I just want to duel the best of the best and prove I am a challenge."
"Well then why don't we go out to the square and see if we can't find you someone to challenge?" Yugi suggested. "Ever since Battle City, it's been a hot spot for the best duelists in town."
Andre shrugged. "Very well, but I don't want my time wasted. Okay, Yugi?"
"Trust me. These guys are good."
(Later at the Dueling Square)
Yugi wasn't kidding about the town square. Everywhere they went, there was some new monster being projected. They passed a duel where a little boy summoned a Two-Headed Fire Dragon to take on another boy's Mother Grizzly.
A Neo the Magic Swordsman yelled out a fierce battle cry and sliced a Kanan the Swordmistress in half.
The air smelled of food as vendors from far and wide paraded into town in their food trucks, yelling out their ware for the hungry duelists. On the side of a tall building of glass and steel was a giant television screen showing Mai Valentine in a Cover Girl commercial with her beautiful Harpie Queen and Harpie Queen, Perfumer, and Oracle behind her.
"These guys don't look so tough," said Andre.
"Look there," Yugi pointed at two individuals walking towards them.
One of whom was a green-haired boy with beetle-shaped glasses.
"Hehehehe. Well, hello, Yugi. Come by to have me toss more of your cards away?" he said.
Yugi glared at the boy. "No, Weevil. We came here because my friend wants to duel strong people. And since you and Rex were the top players in the regionals a few years ago, he'll play you."
"Nah that can't be right," said the other one. He was taller than Weevil and sported a green beanie over his reddish-brown hair. Andre recognized him as Rex Raptor. Indeed a tough opponent.
"He doesn't look that strong," Rex continued. "I bet he'll be Dino chow before I get to break a sweat."
"Talk is cheap," said Andre. "So put you cards in your duel disks because I want you both to come at me together."
"What are you saying dumbass?" asked Rex.
"You'll have to work together in order to beat me," Andre said.
A few people overheard this. Some came down to see if Andre could back up his ego and his mouth. Others were here to laugh, thinking this new guy was a fool to challenge former champions like Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood.
In fact, both duelists started laughing almost. They fell to the ground and rolled around. It took them a while to get back up.
"Hey, Rex," cackled Weevil. "This guy's hilarious. Why don't we teach him a lesson?"
"Yeah, there's no way this guy can beat us. Don't ya know, we were the top two in the regional championships?"
"Oh is that all?" said Andre. "I thought this was gonna be a challenge."
"What was that?" Rex said, irritated at his comment.
"Are we going to stand here all day?" Andre said impatiently. "Or are we going to duel?"
Andre Neromaki
16,000 life points
Vs
Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor
16,000 life points
DUEL!
Andre drew. "Well, well. This duel might be over before it begins," he said loudly so anyone who doubted him could hear him. "First I play Queen's Knight in attack mode. And then, I play Card Destruction to destroy our hands. And then we must draw the same number of cards. And to end my turn, I remove Dark Magician and Jack's Knight from my graveyard to special summon Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the Beginning in attack mode with a destructive force of three thousand attack points, I said to them ending my turn.
The crowd oohed and ahhed at the sight of the rare monster. Meanwhile, Rex and Weevil started trembling.
"Hey, Yuge," Joey whispered. "Don't ya have that card, too?"
"I do," said Yugi. "He's one of the rarest cards in the game. In fact, he's so powerful he's been banned from being played in tournaments."
Rex took a step back. "Holy crap, Weevil, he has a powerful monster out and we haven't taken our turns yet."
Weevil sneered. "Not to worry. I have a plan, Rex, follow my lead."
"Is your overgrown prima-donna-of-a-warrior supposed to scare us? Ha. You'll have to do better than that, new kid. Now it's my turn. I draw! I set a monster in defense mode and place three cards face-down. I end my turn."
Rex laughed. "As rare as that Black Luster Soldier is, he's going down. I draw. I play my Gaia Power field spell, so now all earth-based monsters get a five hundred attack points and lose four hundred defense points. Next I play my Uraby in attack mode and three cards face down to end my turn."
"Very well," Andre said. "It's my turn, I draw. I sacrifice Queen's knight to summon Dark Magician Girl in attack mode. Next I activate my Heavy Storm to destroy all face down spell and trap cards."
"Smart move," said Yugi. "Without a back board, Rex and Weevil have defense against Andre's Black Luster Soldier."
"Now Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the Beginning!" shouted Andre. "Attack Rex's Uraby with your Luster Slash attack."
Black Luster Soldier slashed the dinosaur. It screeched and exploded in a thousand tiny pieces.
"And because he successfully destroyed a monster by battle he gets to attack again, go my soldier attack Rex directly causing them to lose four thousand five hundred life points and then Dark Magician Girl attack Weevils face down monster," I had shouted.
"Face it! I have you both out gunned and have more life points. So you can both surrender or face the same wrath I gave Yugi Muto."
"We won't quit after the first turn has gone by," Weevil said weakly.
"Very well I'll have to show you both pain then. And I'll start by activating this Fiend Sanctuary to summon a Metal Fiend Token. And finally, to end my turn I activate the spell card, Multiply, to turn one fiend token into three."
"Good it's my turn. I play monster reborn to special summon from the grave my insect Queen. Which you sent to the graveyard with Card Destruction earlier," he explained. "Now I play the equip spell card Armor with Laser Cannon to give her five hundred attack points. And because she gets one hundred attack points for every insect on the field, she has a power of twenty eight hundred attack points," he said preparing for his attack.
"Hehehehe now insect Queen attack his Dark Magician Girl," he said laughing at Andre until Andre himself began to laugh.
"To easy I activate the quick-play spell card Lightning Vortex to destroy your insect Queen, and to do this I discard my Celtic Guardian to the graveyard," I shouted at him.
"Nooooo my Insect Queen!" Weevil shouted in defeat. "You'll pay for that. I place one card face-down and end my turn."
"It's my turn!" Rex declared. "I play the spell card, Cost Down! By discarding a card from my hand, I can summon my Black Tyranno in defense mode and then I play one card face down to end my turn."
"It's my turn. I draw! Then I sacrifice all three metal fiend tokens to summon my Obelisk the Tormentor in attack mode with a destructive force of four thousand attack and defense points. Next I play Sage's Stone to special summon my second Dark Magician in attack mode, and finally I activate Pot of Greed to draw two cards! Now Obelisk attack Rex directly with Fist of Fate! Then I move to attack with Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the Beginning and I chose to attack you Weevil Underwood causing you to lose three thousand more life points bringing you both to only five hundred life points!"
"Now that we're almost done here, why don't you both quit while you're ahead? You haven't even scratched my life points. To be honest I'm disappointed that you two have wasted my time. But, oh well, I end my turn."
"You will not make fools of us I'm going to feed you to my insect monsters," said Weevil. And I'll do it with this first I play my Pinch Hopper in attack mode, and then I play Insect Multiplication to special summon two more Pinch hoppers to the field. Next I play my insect swap spell card. This card lets me swap any number of monsters in my possession if they're insect monsters with my opponent's monsters."
Andre gasped. "What! Oh-no! That means…."
"Yes you will get my Pinch Hoppers and I get your Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, and your Black Luster Soldier for myself and Rex," he said laughing at Andre.
"Oh man!" cried Joey. "I didn't think Weevil had such a dirty tactic like that in his arsenal," he had said out loud.
"Hehehehehe," Weevil laughed. "Now I activate Megamorph to double the Black Luster Soldiers attack to six thousand, but first Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl attack Andre's pinch hoppers dealing him four thousand five hundred life points in damage, next black luster soldier attack his Obelisk for two thousand more life points of damage and because of his special effect I get to attack again, now attack his final pinch hopper to bring him to four thousand life points left."
He then ended his turn.
"Damn you, you PARASITE!" I had shouted at him," as I had gotten back up from being knocked to the ground.
"Hehehe. Oh? Does it hurt to have your own monsters attack you? Well, too bad. You're in my spiders nest. Now and I won't let you out till you hit zero," he laughed ending his turn letting Rex go.
"Alright, Weevil, excellent! We nearly have this guy beat. And now it's time for a dino stampede. I sacrifice my Black Tyranno and Weevil's Dark Magician to summon my Ultimate Tyranno in attack mode! Now, Ultimate Tyranno, attack his life points directly!"
Andre laughed. "Thought you had me, huh? I activate my Magic Cylinder trap card!" that had beaten both Weevil and Rex in this duel.
(Final Score)
Andre
1000 life points
Vs
Weevil and Rex
0 life points
"So, guys, what did you think of that?" Andre said to Joey and Yugi. "I guess they were kind of a challenge, but I've had better."
"Meh, you were good," said Joey. "But anybody can beat those two twerps. But let's not forget, you've still got me to contend with later on. And I ain't that easy to beat. So prepare yourself, Andre."
And That's Chapter 1
