Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my work. I'm a beginner at this kind of writing so any constructive criticism would be appreciated because I would like to continue this story more but I need feedback at the same time so I know my work is not going to waste. Enjoy hopefully.
Notes: This fan fiction is dueling central, it has talking but I'm trying to make it like 70% Dueling and 30% story or something along the lines of that. Also these cards are all TCG and OCG cards. I will not use fake cards unless I really really like a card I've seen in anime. I will not make up my own because I fell it wouldn't be right for this. Also the decks these people use are real life decks me and my friends have made/use and written down. They are not jumbled together junk decks. And finally during the duels I like to tell the hand size, attack points and life points because I think being a specific as possible is nicer to read.
Era: Yu-Gi-Oh 5D
Location: Conterfern City
City Info: Though not the richest city like in the world New Domino City it's not the poorest either like the Satellite. It's the kind of city that cries for help as the economy struggles and the population dwindles due to fact the people are moving out to better places. As for dueling well the best way to describe it is if your a duelist than your the cities bums. Sure the children like to play it to pass time since they don't have jobs, but as for the older folks it's not a popular thing like it use to. You either work for the factories or mom and pop shops which has dramatically grown up to ninety percent, or you make your living by dueling which has dramatically declined to seven percent.
Working The Duel World
Chapter 1: Thieves Among The Giants
"Hey how much for these grab bags?"
"Huh?" The clerk looked up from the counter only to see scruffy looking man holding some packages in his hand.
"I said how much are these card grab bags?" "Oh, those are two dollars a bag?"
Looking through his wallet Tony noticed that he was down to his last twenty until he got the time to go visit the bank.
"Well that sounds like a decent value. I'll take three and these singles I found in that box over there?"
Holding out the merchandise, she took the singles and determined there value. Seeing how hot it was today she wasn't in a very costumer friendly mood so she didn't want to be bothered very much.
"Tell you what hun, I sell all these singles for seven dollars and the grab bag for five dollars. I kind of want to leave early today so I'm feel like being generous if you leave in the next few seconds. Take it or leave it." Now holding out the cards in front of his face.
"Well that sounds like a fair price, I'll take." Handing her the twenty. "Ok thanks for your business feel free to come back anytime dear." She said as she handed him the change.
"Don't worry I always do." Tony replied as he walked out the doors and winked at her.
Leaving his favorite hobby shop, Rwanda's Collectables, Tony decided he wanted to head back to the motel he was staying to get some rest until he noticed a few kids in the park a block away trading cards. Curious on if they had anything good for trading he instead J-Walked across the traffic and walked into the park.
"Hey I don't want this card. This card is useless for my collection what are you trying to pull." said one of the kids as he was verbally attacking the other kid who was obviously older.
"I thought it would be a good trade because I don't much else to trade for since I only get grab bags across the street." said the other kid who was now packing up his things because it looked he was not enjoying himself.
"Yea that's right run away Chuck, you have crap cards anywase." the kid yelled as the group was laughing now.
Not looking where he was walking he ran into Tony knocking over his box of cards.
"I'm so sorry mister, I wasn't looking where I was going." now trying to pick up his cards as fast as possible.
Noticing the cards on the ground, Tony started to help him pick up his cards.
"Hey you know what kid. I think I would like to trade you, some of this stuff would be pretty helpful for my deck." he commented as he was looking through his cards.
Surprised by the man's response the kid didn't know what to. Tony now taking out his grab bag, and searching his new cards.
"Here I'll give you Great Long Nose, Timeater, and for your Darkblaze Dragon. How does that sound?"
'What is this guy thinking he's being ripped off compared to me' thought Chuck "Umm sure mister I'll do that trade." As he handed over the card. Unaware that a middle aged man passing them by heard the whole conversation.
"Hey thanks kid, by the way I'm Tony and buying grab bags is nothing to be ashamed off. I do it all the time" said Tony as he was now sitting on the park bench taking out his deck and re-organizing it.
After he finished packing up all his cards he thanked Tony and started leaving the he looked over his shoulder noticed an older man approached his new friend Tony.
"Hey you, did I just hear you traded for a Darkblaze Dragon? And it was from a kid?" commented the older male.
After putting his deck back in his duel disk he looked up and noticed the glare in his eyes. "Yea what about it?"
"What kind of duelist are you? No respectable nor any good for that matter duelist does that kind of crap. You hear me?" It was very apparent to Tony that this man was picking a fight.
"Are you calling me a bad duelist sir?"
"Yes, I am and if you heard it from me than it's true." Now posing like he was 'The Man'
"Well if your up for it I would like to prove you wrong." Now attaching his disk to his arm.
Laughing now it if he was joking. "Your not from around here are you? You must not since you don't know who I am. I'm Frank Gizmo the best duelist in the city. But if you would like to try your luck by all means lets go." said Frank as he now attached his disk to is arm.
Tony: 8000 LP
Frank: 8000LP
"The challenged always starts first, thats how I roll" said Tony has drawing his hand (T Hand: 5)
"Oh so kind of you to say, but don't act so humble in front of me" shouted Frank as drew his six cards. (F Hand: 6)
"To start off I think I'll set this a monster in defense mode and set two cards"
Two vertical and a horizontal card appeared in front of Tony
"Your turn man, I hope you can put up a fight since your new around here and all" said Frank as he noticed his opponents studying his hand. (F Hand: 3)
"I'll try but I can't promise you anything" joked Tony as he drew his card (T Hand: 6)
"Before I start I have a proposition for you Frank?" "Yea and that is?" asked Frank impatiently
"Well I'm leaving this town in two days, to seek out potential duelist for my organization. What you say? Want to come?"
'Who does this guy think is' thought Frank as he was now staring down Tony. "Tell you what I'll join if you beat me."
Analyzing his hand for a second "I think I'll set two cards down and call it good"
Two cards flashed in front of Tony then disappeared (T Hand: 4)
"Well thats an interesting start for a first duel" Laughed Frank drawing is card (F Hand: 4)
"Since you won't take the offense I guess I will have I'll summon Don Zaloog" said Frank as a duel gunner with a eye patch rises from the ground (1.400 ATK)
"Then I will flip summon my Cliff the Trap Remover" as a dagger wielding scholar with tattoo scorpion on his shoulder jumps forth from the set card.
"Then I think I'll activate my face down continuous magic card I like to call The A. Forces which raises each warrior on my side of the field 200 attack for each warrior or spellcaster I command" (Don 1,800 ATK, Cliff 1,600 ATK)
"Now ATK his life points directly Don Zaloog and Cliff" Shouted Frank while Don fires his pistol and Cliff dives at Tony
Tony: 4600 LP
"Due to Don Zaloog's Effect and Cliff's Effect you now have to destroy your right face down and remove the top 2 cards from your deck" The vertical card (Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou) shatters and Darkblaze Dragon and Overwhelm were sent into the graveyard. (F Hand: 4)
'Huh why did he let those attacks through unless he has a crappy hand, whats his strategy' Thought Frank
"That was good move Frank one more of those and I'll probably be finished" said Tony as he drew his card. (T Hand: 5)
"Now I think I'll activate my trap card Level Conversion Lab, and this is how it works. I'll show you one monster in my hand and I think I'll pick this one" he said as he revealed to his opponent The Creator. His trap card comes face up as a test tube with The Creator appears in front of Frank while a hunched fiend with a lab coat appears with a dice in his hand.
"Then my friend here rolls his six sided dice and if he rolls anything but a one thats the level my monster will become but if it's a one he will be sent to my graveyard"
Frank looking confused for a second but than realized the probability of the chance for a free summon. "Say what?"
The fiend tosses the dice into to the and as it comes smashing against the ground a two appears face up.
"Nice now I can summon my amigo here for no cost, come on out Creator" he said as lightning shoots out of the ground with a flash with a outline of a gigantic orange golem steps out of the portal (2,300 ATK)
"Though he appears weak for a level eight monster I assure you he makes up with his special ability, now by discarding one card from my I can revive a monster that has fallen in battle or in my case a discarded creature" said Tony as he discarded a warrior to his graveyard.
"Now come back Darkblaze Dragon" the creator shoots a lightning bolt towards the ground as a fire cyclone shoots as a black winged dragon appears (Attack 1,200 )
"Wow thats a really weak level seven star creature let me guess it can attack me directly right" chuckled Frank
Tony now laughing "Not exactly, you see when my Darkblaze Dragon is special summoned from the graveyard his attack and defense is doubled."
The dragon cries out as his body doubles in size (2,400 ATK)
"Now Darkblaze attack his Don Zaloog and Creator smash Cliff" Drakblaze exhaled a giant stream of fire at the Don Zaloog
"I don't think so I activate my trap Widespread Ruin which destroys your highest attacking monster, see yea dragon" Don grabs a grenade from his back pocket and chucks it at the dragon then shatters as the explosion impales it.
"Well at least my Creator gets through" as the giant raises his fist and smashes Cliff to a flat corpse.
Frank: 7100
(Don Zaloog: Attack 1,600)
"I'll set one card and call it good" said Tony as a card flashes vertical before him (T Hand: 3)
"That was a pretty good move, but nothing to exciting yet" said Frank as he drew his card. (F Hand: 5)
"I'll activate my spell card Warrior Returning Alive which allows me to brings a level four or lower warrior from my grave to my hand" Cliff's spirit rises from the graveyard and returns to his hand.
"Then I'll summon my lovely Dark Scorpion Meanae the Thorn"
A leathered wearing women appears next to Don as she lashes her thorny whip (Attack 1,000)
(Don Zaloog: Attack 1,800 ; Meanae The Thorn: Attack 1,400)
"Next I'll activate my spell equipment card from my hand Shooting Star Bow - Ceal to Meanae, which even though decreases her attack 1,000 I can now attack you directly with her." Meanae transforms her whip into her new silver thorny bow (Attack: 400)
"Now Meanae attack him directly" Frank ordered
Meanae crouches as she aims for Tony and fires her silver arrow directly at him.
Tony:4400 LP
"Now since I have successfully attack you with her I can now add one Dark Scorpion card from my deck to my hand, and I think I'll add Dark Scorpion - Gorg the Strong"
"I'll set two card and thats it" (F Hand: 3)
"Time to strike back hopefully" drawing his card (T Hand: 4)
"From my hand I'll activate Trade In, which allows me discard a level eight monster to draw to cards" Sending a level eight fiend to his graveyard, then drawing two cards.
"Nice this will do, I'll set one monster and activate Creator's Effect, by discarding another card." Discarding a dinosaur to his grave and a horizontal card appears next to The Creator.
"Welcome back Darkblaze Dragon" the dragon cries out as it doubles in size again (Attack:2400)
"Now go Darkblaze scorch his lady in waiting and Creator attack Don Zaloog" Commanded Tony as the two giants charge towards the burglars.
"Not so fast I have another trump card, I activate Waboku. I'm not going to lose anyone this time." said Frank as three female priests appeared and created a barrier around the humans.
Tony was now getting kind of irritated "Dang, I guess Don Zaloog is really important to your strategy to protect him that much, I set two cards and end"
Two more vertical cards were set next to the already set card. (T Hand: 2)
"You have no idea" Laughed Frank drawing his card. (F Hand: 4)
"From my Hand Ill summon another Dark Scorpion, Chick the Yellow"
A scrony blonde boy holding a wooden mallet with a scorpion tattoo on his bicep appears from the portal next to Don.
"Hey are these guys a gang or something" joked Tony as he noticed they were all posing. (Attack: 1,000)
(Don Zaloog: Attack 2,000 ; Meanae The Thorn: Attack: 600; Chick the Yellow: 1,600)
"Well yea there called the Dark Scorpions, I'm surprised you haven't heard of these cards there kind of well known cards. There a gang of thieves with there leader Zaloog leading them." commented Frank
"Speaking of which I will again equipped another Shooting Star Bow - Ceal to Chick The Yellow, which at cost will let him attack you directly" Chick throwing his mallet aside and picks up the silver bow from the ground. (Attack: 600)
"Now attack Tony directly Meanae and Chick no mercy" Yelled Frank as the two loaded and fired two silver arrows at Tony.
Tony LP: 3200
"And don't forget about there leader attack his face down!" Taking aim with his pistols the thief fired at the horizontal and revealed a oversized brown gerbil curled up into a ball.
"Ha, you attack my Bubonic Vermin which activates when he is flipped summoned. It allows me to set another Bubonic Vermin form my deck." allowing Tony to search his deck and set another copy of it.
"Thats fine because due to Meanae's effect I'm allowed to search my deck and add another Dark Scorpion to my hand , and I will pick the magic card Mustering of the Dark Scorpions" retorted Frank adding another card to his hand.
"And don't forget about Chicks effect which allows me to send a card on your side of the field to your hand, and I think I will send The Creator back."
Chick now switching back to his mallet flies at the giant and swings his mallet.
"I going to have to rain check on that because I activate my trap Interdimensional Matter Transporter which cancels your effect and removes my creature from play until the end phase" revealing his face down and summons a machine teleporting it and The Creator out of play.
"You were lucky that time but next round its all over because I activate my spell I just drew Mustering of the Dark Scorpions. Which allows me to special summon any Dark Scorpion my my hand as long as I have Don Zaloog on the field."
Don now holding up a rooster sheet and started calling everyone in the gang. Now appearing right in front of Tony's eyes.
"Meanae, here. Chick,here. Cliff, here. Gorg, here. Excellent together we THE DARK SCORPIONS" together now posing in really awkward stance.
"Wow that was really corny" laughed Tony.
"Well what is corny to you is what makes me win don't forget the effect of The A. Forces" now pointing at all five warriors.
(Don Zaloog: Attack 2,400 ; Meanae The Thorn: Direct Attack: 1,000; Chick the Yellow: Direct Attack1,000; Cliff The Trap Remover: Attack 2,200; Gorg The Strong: Attack 2,800)
Stopped laughing Tony then came to the realization of what he's up against. "Holy crap, that's buff." he exclaimed
"Well unless you can stop me this turn your going to lose." commented Frank (F Hand: 0)
Drawing his card Tony needed a plan and he needed it fast. (T Hand: 4)
"To start this turn off I'll flip my Bubonic Vermin so I can can set another copy of it" searching his deck and placing another set monster then shuffled the deck.
"Next I will sacrifice my two Bubonic Vermin's so I can summon Sword Hunter"
Appearing from the light a masked wild man with multiple swords attached to his back and hands appears. (Attack: 2450)
"Then I will activate The Creator's effect again so I can summon a new creature from my graveyard." Discarding a magic card to the grave.
"Say hello to another power house. Invader Of Darkness."
Black fog now spreading across the floor a blacked cloaked masked gentleman rises next to the army of giants. (Attack: 2,900)
"Next I will special summon Gilasaurus, which would allow you to special summon a creature from graveyard but your field is full so sorry"
A tiny brown dinosaur speeds out of the portal than screams at the army of giants next to it. (Attack 1,400)
"Then finally I will reveal my face down magic equip card known as Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou and give it to my Darkblaze Dragon." Discarding his last card into the graveyard.
Spiraling down into the ground a giant steel sword appears as the dragon picks it up (Attack: 2,900)
"Now go Darkblaze slash down Gorg with flaming slash!" Commanded Tony as the dragon picked up speed diving down at the muscular man.
"Nice try but I activate my quick play magic Book of Eclipse which flips down all face up monsters, it's over Tony I win." mocked Frank as a book appeared above all the creatures.
Chuckling at first was what Frank could hear but he looked at Tony he could see him laughing in joy.
"What's so funny Tony, you just lost!" yelled Frank "Look again Frank it seems you have miss calculated because your book doesn't seem to be working."
Frank looked up and noticed the book was now gone. "What! How the hell did that happen!"
"It seems you didn't pay attention to my creatures at all my Invader of Darkness negates all quick play magic as long as he is on the field. Now watch and be awed" As he pointed towards his dragon.
Then turning his head and seeing Gorg being impaled by the flaming sword and shatters before his eyes.
Frank: 7000
"Well at least your not going to take me out this turn." Frank sighed
"Wrong again Frank Drakblaze has a special ability that you were mocking earlier. Because every time he destroys a monster you lose life points equal to your creatures attack. Which if I''m correct it was 2,800."
"Son of a..." yelled Frank as the dragon shot a stream of fire at him
Frank LP: 3200
(Don Zaloog: Attack 2,200 ; Meanae The Thorn: Direct Attack: 800; Chick the Yellow: Direct Attack800; Cliff The Trap Remover: Attack 2,000)
"Now go forth my giants and finish this off!" Tony ordered seeing his giants rampaging at the thieves
Raising his fist The Creator pounded his fist down to flatten Don
Frank LP: 3100
(Meanae The Thorn: Direct Attack: 600; Chick the Yellow: Direct Attack600; Cliff The Trap Remover: Attack 1,800)
Getting into stance the Sword Hunter dashes at Cliff and impales with two swords
Frank LP: 2450
(Meanae The Thorn: Direct Attack: 400; Chick the Yellow: Direct Attack400)
Charging at Meanae Gilasaurus plunges towards her and devours
Frank LP: 1450
(Chick the Yellow: Direct Attack400)
Then finally Invader OF Darkness evaporates Chick into nothing
Frank LP: 0
'Holy crap, who is this guy?' thought Chuck as he was secretly observing the whole duel behind a couple of bushes
Being totally shocked by the beginners OTK Frank fell to his knees in disappear as the holograms disappeared.
"Hey, Frank don't be so down it was a really close duel and I thought you did really good!" said Tony as he was walking over to him and helping him back up.
Frank started to laugh because for the first time in a few months he actually enjoyed a duel. "You know what, it was a really good duel and I actually enjoyed it. It's been so long since I was so into it. It feels great." he claimed as he got back to his feet and sat on the bench behind him.
"You know I think you got what it takes to be a duelist, and thats really a hard thing to say especially in this kind of place. I think I'm going to take you up on that trip your talking about, what kind of organization is it anywase." Frank said as he raised his hand
Tony smiled and accepted the handshake as a jester of alliance "Well thats good to hear, I'm staying at the motel on Broadson street for two more days in Room 45. So if you find anyone else who wants the offer or want to visit, you know were I am. As for information about the organization well talk about that later."
"Sounds good I might take a look around to see if there is anymore potential here. But for now I'm going to head back to my place to rest. So I will be over tomorrow morning." Said Frank as he and Tony were walking towards the exit of the park.
"Hey Tony?"
"Yea Frank?"
"Have you heard of Necrovalley?"
"No...why?"
"Just wondering..."
