Old Domino City

Moving through the streets, I made my way towards my hideout, which I was sure no one knew about as it was underground. It was a card shop that had a lot of cards in it, there was even this golden box in it with a note on it that said "do not open, curse in side" on it. Naturally, I did the logical thing and left it alone, even going as far as taking it and burying it further into the ground so that no one could get cursed.

Rumor has it, that Yugi, the king of games used to live in Domino City with his grandfather, who owned a card shop. I believe I found it, as I had found a picture of Yugi and a group of people. Heck, I even found one of Yugi and Seto Kaiba dueling, with both Dark Magaican and Blue eyes White Dragon on the filed. Man, that was impressive to see.

But, today, I was going for it. I had debated whether of not to open the card packs there or to sell them to the card shops for more money. Today, I was opening them, hoping to get my hands on my favorite card, Red-Eyes Black Dragon. I had heard that there was only one in existence now, but as far as I knew, no one had it other than the grave sight of Joey Wheeler, another king of games.

Entering the shop, after sliding down a bit, I landed on the mat I had placed down there. Standing up, I turned on my flashlight and walked over to the card packs on the far side. This pack, had Red Eyes Black Dragon on it. I was so excited when I first saw this, I had literally passed out. Grabbing one pack, I opened it, getting five cards.

"Mirror Force, Archfined Black Skull Dragon, The Black Stone of Legend, Red Eyes Retro Dragon, Red Eyes Retro Dragon." I read as I looked them over. They run around red eyes monsters?" I read, not knowing that there were other red eyes type monsters other than Red Eyes Black Dragon. "All of them will come in use for my future red eyes deck, if I get red eyes that is." I said as I opened my deck box, which was empty and placed them in there, with me separating the fusion monster from them.

I opened another pack, hoping for a Red Eyes Black Dragon. "Red Eyes Black Flare Dragon, Paladin of the Dark Dragon, Red Eyes Spirit, Return of the Red Eyes, Archfined Black Skull Dragon." I read, frowning that I didnt-"Wait, Red Eyes Black Flare Dragon?" I re-read, with my eyes widening as I saw another version of Red Eyes Black Dragon. "Wow, it's basically a red eyes that deals 2400 to the opponent once it battles, which means, if I were to attack directly with him while he's an effect monster, that's a total of 4800 points of damage, one hit kill!" I said, shocked at my discovery.

I quickly opened the next pack after I stored them away like the others. "Red Eyes Archfind of Lightning, Red Eyes Fusion, Dark Dragon Ritual, Dark Dragon Ritual, Paladin of the Dark Dragon." I read as I looked them over. "I now have enough rituals for both Paladin of the Dark Dragons now." I said as I stored them away.

Opening the next pack, I prayed once again, hoping that I would get it. "One for One, Summoned Skull, Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, Mirror Force, Paladin of the Dark Dragon." I read, staring at the Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon. "Wow, another form of red eyes." I said as I held it up, before storing them.

Grabbing another pack, I prayed again that I would get red eyes. "Twin Twisters, Magic Cylinder, Magic Cylinder, Red Eyes Black Dragon, Red Eyes Archfined of Lightning." I said, before my eyes widened in shock. In my hand, was THE Red Eyes Black Dragon!? I was so happy, I was biting my hand to keep my self from screaming. I quickly stormed them away, glad that I got the last Red Eyes Black Dragon.

I took another pack and opened it with a smile. "Archfined Black Skull Dragon, Inferno Fire Blast, Inferno Fire Blast, Return of the Red Eyes, Red Eyes Retro Dragon." I read, glad that I got Inferno Fire Blast as it would make for an easier win.

Storing them, I picked up another card pack. Red Eyes Black Flair Dragon, Dark Dragon Ritual, Magic Cylinder, Red Eyes Spirit, Red Eyes Black Dragon." I read, before gasping. "Another red eyes, but, I thought that there was only one left?" I asked as I looked at my deck box. "Maybe, there's more?" I said as I stored them.

Grabbing another pack, I opened it. "Summoned Skull, Red Eyes Fusion, The Black Stone of Legend, The Black Stone of Legend, Red Eyes Fusion." I read, before raising an eyebrow. "Two duplicates in one pack?" I asked as I stored them away.

I grabbed another pack and opened it. "Red Eyes Black Flare Dragon, Twin Twisters, Return of the Red Eyes, Mirror Force, Inferno Fire Blast." I read with a smile, still happy that I got two red eyes black dragons.

I stored them away and looked at the last pack. "This is it, the last pack." I said as I picked it up and opened it. "Keeper of the Shrine, Red Eyes Black Dragon, Red Eyes Archfined of Lightning, Twin Twisters, Red Eyes Spirit." I read, shocked that I got a third Red Eyes Black Dragon.

The place started shaking, shocking me. 'They must be moving the rubble from above!' I thought as I ran over to the entrance, after storing the cards of course. I took a chair and placed it on the mat, only for the ground to give out on me. My eyes widened as I fell, shocked that this had happened.

As I hit the ground, I stared up as the entrance was blocked off. Then, I noticed a light from the darkness. Sitting up, I saw that I was now in a tunnel. standing up, I followed after it, only to reach a lab looking thing. I gasped as I saw bones of men in white coats, meaning that these people must have been here during the destruction of Domino City.

'Where is the light coming from?' I thought as I looked at the lights, seeing that they were off.

"Let me burn." I heard a voice, shocking me.

"Is there any survivors!?" I called out, looking around for anyone who would moved.

"A signer, no, the forgotten signer." The voice spoke as I walked forward.

"What sign, did you forget to put it up somewhere, or ar you asking me to give you a sign that I'm here?" I called out, getting a groan.

"You're an idiot, but a special idiot." The voice said, with me puffing my cheeks out.

That's not nice!" I yelled, crossing my arms. "I'm not sure if I want to help you now!" I said, getting a chuckle from the voice.

"Oh really, alow my to introduce my self, I'm the spirit that lives in the card, Red Eyes Flair Metal Dragon." The voice spoke, confusing me. "I'M RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!?" The voice yelled, with me turning to the light and seeing a synchro monster in a case. The light dimmed, showing said card.

"Wow, cool, a red eyes synchro monster!" I said as I reached for the glass, only to get zapped. What gives?' I thought with a frown.

"I give, its my shield!" The voice said, confusing me. "Now, lesson, many malinia ago, there was a great battle. Six dragons, Red Dragon Archfined, Stardust Dragon, Ancient Fairy Dragon, Black Rose Dragon, Life Stream Dragon, and yours truly, Red Eyes Flair Metal Dragon, teamed up with the Crimson Dragon to stop the Earthbound Immortals." He said as I nodded. "They were beings so strong that they devoured the light in man and powered them selves ten fold. We barely won against them, and it was only with the signers that we were able to do so." He said as I crossed my arms.

"So, what is a signer?" I asked, not sure how I was talking to a card.

"There are six signers, one for each dragon that they have chosen. They are the purest of the pure of humans, but, I don't chose the pure, I chose who I want to choose, and I'm desperate." He said as I raised an eyebrow, before my arm started burning.

Looking at it, I saw a U of sorts that was cut off in five different places. "What is this?" I asked as I looked at the card. "What did you do to-"

"That is the mark of the signer, my mark." He said as I raised an eyebrow at it. "With this, we will never lose, WE-"

6 years later

"WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP!?" I yelled as I drew my next card, seeing that it was black stone of legend. "First, I summon, Black Stone of Legend!" I said as I placed it down, with said stone appearing in front of me. "Next, I tune my Black Stone of Legend with my Red Eyes Black Dragon, to synchro summon a monster!" I said, crossing my arm across my chest, feeling it burning once again. "Through the ashes, rise one more, Red Eyes Flair Metal Dragon!" I said as fire engulfed the entire filed, with my opponent covering his face from the heat.

"The hell with this!?" He yelled as he raised his hand out. "I activate my trap card, bottomless trap hole!" He said as the card flipped. Once you special summon a monster with 1500 more attack, I can destroy it!" He said, followed by a fire-ball hitting him. "What?" He said with wide eyes as the flames vanished, reviling the Red Eyes Flair Metal Dragon, glaring at him. "How?"

"His effect, if I have a Red Eyes Black Dragon in the graveyard, he can't be destroyed by card affects, and since bottomless trap hole destroys cards before banishing them, its unaffected." I said as I pointed at him. "Not only that, but you take 500 each time you activate a card effect!" I said, shocking him. "Now, I'll use his third ability, rise once more, Red Eyes Black Flair Dragon!" I said as I special summoned said card from the graveyard.

"How, how am I losing to a runt like you!?" He yelled in anger, with me smiling at him.

"Runt? Me?" I asked, chuckling at him. "I'm no runt, I'M JUST FORGOTTEN!?" I yelled as I held my hand out. "WIPE OUT HIS REMAINiNG LIFE POINTS!?" I yelled as both dragons took a deep breath and attacked him, sending him flying back as his giant soldier of stone was destroyed, with him taking 2800 directly, ending the game.

Walking over to him, I placed my foot on his neck. "Picking on kids like them, will send you my way once again!" I said, walking away from him. 'We're forgotten, that's all we are.' I thought, remembering that right after I had made my way home that day, I was left alone for a week before realising what had happened.
