Chapter 1
(Jacks POV)
As I ran down the street, I was shouting to myself for being so lazy. I was currently late for the Duel Monsters tournament going on downtown and I was late, I had overslept and now I'm running as fast as I can so I can at least get a last-minute registration.
"aw man why did I over sleep, I've got my deck, my duel disk and I got at least five minutes until the tournament begins" I said to myself
After the turning the corner I could see the park where the tournament was being held.
"almost there and three minutes to go and I can…" I said until I heard something
"Jack" a voice said
I turned around to see if anyone called me but there was no one, I just shrugged it off and about to run again until I heard it again.
"Jack" the voice said
I then looked around the place trying to find the owner of the voice but no one was around.
"Hello is anyone there!" I shouted but there was no reply, "ah man I must be going crazy" I said
As I turned back around to head to the park suddenly a bright ball of light suddenly came at me hitting me start in the face then everything went white.
(Shantae's POV)
As I walked back from Scuttle Town, I couldn't help but stare at the horizon enjoying the ocean view, it had been a few weeks since I stopped Risky Boots from taking over the Genie Realms with my Uncle Mimics Dynamo, it just felt good just knowing that my mother was safe and other genies too. As I looked out the horizon and felt smile creep on my face, I mean who wouldn't, Risky hasn't attacked in a long time, I haven't been "fired" by the mayor for no stupid reason and of course I got to spend time with my three friends with no life threating crisis.
"This is the best day every and nothing and I mean nothing can ruin this amazing day!" I shouted to the sky
Then out of nowhere a flash of light appeared from behind my house until it faded away which made me give a long sigh.
"spoke to soon" I said
As I walked up to my house I crept around the edge of the wall until I reached the edge, I then took a deep breath and leaned out to see what caused that strange light. When I looked what I saw was young boy just laying on the ground and unconscious by the looks of it. I decided to get a better look to see if he was okay, as I got closer, I looked him over to see it there any injuries or anything. He had a black leather jacket with a red shirt underneath, he also wore brown cargo pants with brown belt and pair of strap-on black shoes. He's hair was blonde with a red streak and very tan skin and on his arm was circular device on his arms which was red with a black outline.
(AN: Basically, it's like Playmakers duel disk)
"hey are you okay sir" I said
Then I heard the boy groan and start to wake up.
(Jake's POV)
As I opened my eyes I was assaulted by daylight, at first my vision was really blurry at first. I could see a silhouette of someone but my eyes were still adjusting. After awhile my eyes started to adjust and finally came into focus, right above me I saw young woman staring at me with her blue eyes, she also had very long purple hair and a strange uniform on which looked like one of those uniforms those Arabian dancers wore and a pair of golden bracelets on her arms as well.
"Hey are you okay" she asked
"yeah I think, ow my head" I said pressing my hand against my forehead
"here let me help you" she said grabbing my hand and hoisting me up on my feet
"thanks, man what happened" I asked
"You tell me I saw you passed out on the ground when I found you" the women said
"well last I remember I was heading toward this tournament until all of sudden I was hit by ball of light" I said
"ouch, are sure your okay" she asked
"yeah I'm sure I've took harder hits then that" I said giving a smile as she giggled
"oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Shantae" Shantae said extending a hand
"nice to meet you my names Jack Revolver" I said giving her a handshake
(AN: You'll understand soon )
"so, Jack this tournament you were going to, what was it for anyway" Shantae asked
"oh, it was Duel monster's tournament" I replied making her eyes go wide
"wait are you a duelist" she asked looking giddy
"yeah, why" I asked with a raised eyebrow
"well if it's not too much to ask can we duel" Shantae asked
"wait you play duel monsters" I asked surprised
"well yeah who doesn't it's the greatest game ever" she said
"true" I said with a smile
"so how about it" she asked
I then placed my finger on my chin to make it look like I was thinking even though I already made my decision.
"sure, why not since I missed my tournament" I said
"all right" she said bumping her fist into the air
I then grabbed my deck out of my deck holster and placed in my duel disk, when I turned my attention Shantae she had her deck in hand and pulled her duel disk from… wait … did she pull that out the top of her outfit.
"uh Shantae how did that fit in there" I asked confused, she then gave a knowing smirk
"its bigger on the inside" Shantae replied attaching her duel disk on her arm and projecting a purple blade
(AN: Shout outs to the Doctor, oh and all of duel disks in the Shantae universe will be based on the Arc-v Design)
"all right let's do this" I said my red blade extended
"Ready-2-go" Shantae said
"Let's Duel"
(Shantae: 8000)
(Jack: 8000)
"alright lady's first, and I'll start by playing the spell card Polymerization" Shantae said placing the card into the duel disk
"what, your fusion summoning already" I said shocked
"yep and I'll start by fusing these two together my Elemental HERO Bladedge and Sparkman" She said as the two-monster fused together in a spiral of colorful dust, "now I fusion summon Elemental HERO Plasma Vice" she said
(Elemental HERO Plasma Vice/ Atk:2600 Def:2300/ LV:8)
"next I place one card facedown and end my turn" she said as a card appeared
"Elemental Hero's huh, not bad, now lets even I can do better" I said drawing my card
I then looked at my hand formulating a plan looking at each individual card then I made up my mind
"alright Shantae to start things off I'll play my field spell Boot Sector Launch" I stated
"cool but what does do" Shantae asked confused
"well for starters it gives all my Rokket monster 300 attack and defense points also I can activate one of two effects per turn" I explained
"alright I think where this is going what's next" she asked
"then just watch and see, I activate it's first effect to summon two Rokket monsters from my hand in defense mode, I chose Metalrokket and Ansethrokket Dragon"
(Metalrokket Dragon/ Atk:2000 Def:1700/LV:4)
(Ansethrokket Dragon/ Atk: 300 Def: 2500/ LV:1)
"Next I summon Snifer Dragon which activates his ability so add another to my hand" I said as the second Sniffer Dragon popped out.
(Snifer Dragon/ Atk:800 Def:400/ LV:2)
"then I play the spell Dragon Shrine to send one dragon monster from my deck to the graveyard" I said as a card popped out and I placed in my graveyard
"Now I active Destrudo the lost Dragon's Frisson's effect from my graveyard" I said
"Are you done yet" Shantae asked a little annoyed
"hey, if you have the cards play them" I said
"well true" Shantae said cracking a smile
"Now as I was saying by paying half my life points, I can bring back Destrudo by decreasing his level by one monster on my field" I said
(Destrudo the lost Dragon's Frisson/ Atk: 1000 Def: 3000/ LV: 3)
(Jack: 4000)
"alright Shantae Her comes the fun part" I said smirking
"bring it" She said
"alright then, Create the circuit" I shouted as I shot my open palm into the air
Then a bolt of lighting shot out and formed a square circuit with eight arrows on each side and the four corners.
"no way you can…" Shantae was about to say but didn't get to finish it
"the summoning conditions are at least three dark dragon monsters, I set Metalrokket, Ansethrokket and Sniffer Dragon in the link arrows" I shouted as the three dragons turned into different colored tornados and filled three of the arrows
"I Link summon, link three Vorticular Drumgon" I shouted as my dragon came out of circuit and landed on the field.
(Vorticular Drumgon/ Atk:1000/←↓→)
"wow you can link summon" Shantae said looking really giddy
"yeah why?" I asked
"well you see I know how link summoning works it just never seen it used before" she said rubbing her arm embarrassed
"oh, I see well then I guess your in for a treat, but first my Vorticular's effect lets me draw a card when ever it's special summoned" I said as I drew my card, "but my link summoning is not done so create the circuit once more" I said as the circuit appeared again
"I another link summon!?" Shantae said in shock
"this time the summoning conditions are two effect monsters so I set Destrudo and my link three Vorticular Drumgon in the link arrows" I shouted as my two-monster jumped into air and turned into different colored tornados but my link monster split into three as four arrows glowed.
"I link summon, Link Four Topologic Bomber Dragon!" I shouted as the monster began to materialize and solidify until it out let a roar sending out a gust wind.
(Topologic Bomber Dragon/ Atk:3000/↙↓↘↑)
"ll... link four" Shantae stuttered staring at the heaping behemoth
"now Topologic Bomber Dragon Attack Plasma Vice with Malicious Mayhem" I shouted as Bomber Dragon built up a large amount of energy and fired it out at the Hero monster.
"I activate my trap Hero Barrier which negates your monster attack" Shanta shouted as spinning blade shot out and blocked the attack.
"not bad Shantae, not bad at all but try this since Topologic Bomber Dragon attacked a monster you take damage equal to your monster original points" I said as my monster started to crackle with energy and shot it out at Shantae as she raised her arms in defense.
(Shantae: 5400)
"I set one card facedown and end my turn" I said
"My turn, I draw" She said, "I activate Plasma Vice's effect by discarding one card I can destroy one attack position monster so see you later Bomber Dragon" she said
Plasma Vice then charged up a large amount of electricity and shot at Bomber Dragon causing it shatter.
"also, I active Shadow Mist's effect from my graveyard when she sent there, I get to add a hero monster from my deck to my hand" she said as a card popped out of her deck, "now Plasma Vice attack him directly" she said as the hero charged
"I don't think so I activate my face down Mirror Force" I said as my card flipped up and created a barrier of light which deflected the attack and destroyed her monster
"oh, come on I hate that card" she said frustrated
"uh, okay" I said confused
"well in that case I summon Elemental HERO Bubbleman" she said as the new caped hero appeared
(Elemental HERO Bubbleman/ Atk:800 Def:1200/ LV: 4)
"Next when Bubbleman is summoned to field I get to draw two cards" she said, "and with that I end my turn."
"my turn, Draw" I said, "first I active the spell Allure of Darkness which lets me draw two cards but I have to banish one dark monster" I said as I drew my two cards and placed Snifer Dragon in my coat pocket.
I then looked at my two new cards and smiled seeing I can summon my ace monster, Shantae noticed my smirk and felt a little nervous.
"I hope your ready Shantae because your about meet one of my most powerful monsters" I said
"what, you mean that Bomber Dragon wasn't your ace" she said in surprise
"why don't I show you, first I active Boot Sector Lunches second effect I can summon Rokket Monsters from my graveyard equal to the difference between our monsters so I summon Ansethrokket Dragon" I said as the bullet dragon appeared.
"then I summon Gateway Dragon and activate it's effect to summon a level four or below dark dragon from my hand so I summon Hibernation Dragon" I said, then the brown dragon flew behind the portal on it's back and opened it and out came another dragon.
(Gateway Dragon/ Atk:1600 Def:1400/ LV: 4)
(Hibernation Dragon/ Atk:600 Def:1500/ LV: 3)
"When ever hibernation dragon is summoned, I can add one level four or lower dragon from graveyard to my hand" I said as a card popped out of the graveyard slot which was Metalrokket Dragon, "next I play the spell Quick Launch to summon a Rokket from my deck but it can't attack this turn so I summon Magnarokket Dragon" I said as the new bullet dragon was summoned
(Magnarokket Dragon/ Atk:2100 Def:1600/ LV:4)
"Get ready for the real fun, Create the circuit!" I shouted as the square circuit appeared again, "the summoning conditions are three effect monsters so I set my Magnarokket, Ansethrokket, Hibernation and Gateway dragons in the link arrows" I shouted as the four dragons flow into the four arrows.
"Another link four monster!" she said in shock
"I link summon, Rise up Link Four Borreload Dragon!" I shouted as my dragon martialized and formed into my ace monster as it let out a might roar.
(Borreload Dragon/Atk:3000/ ←↙↘→)
"wow that has to be the coolest dragon I have ever seen!" Shantae exclaimed
"glad you like him, but he's more then just looks, now Borreload Dragon attack Bubbleman" I commanded.
Then the dragon's midsection started to speed up and rotate and started to generate a large amount of energy, then it's wings then retracted and folded in like the safety of a gun, then the dragon opened its mouth wide and a cannon barrel came out and aimed it at Bubbleman as it charged up its cannon.
"Go, Thunder Borrel Cannon!" I shouted as the dragon shot a bullet made of energy out and struck Bubbleman which caused an explosion that sent Shantae flying.
"ahhhh" She screamed as she flew and landed on the ground hard on her back.
(Shantae:3200)
"hey Shantae, are you okay" I asked her
She then pulled her self up and brushed herself and smiled.
"I have to admit that dragon can sure pack a mean wallop, got any more tricks" she asked
"maybe but you'll have to wait I end my turn" I said but couldn't help myself but smile she sure had a lot of energy and even after taking a hit like that she was able to smile still.
"alright my turn" she said as she drew her card, she then looked at it and smiled, "alright Jack you showed me your ace now let me show you mine" she said with glee
'I feeling I know what it might be' I thought
"first I active the spell polymerization and fuse Elemental HERO Avian and Burtinatrix to create the Elemental HERO Flame Wingman" She shouted as the two heroes fused together and out came the new hero.
(Elemental HERO Flame Wingman/ Atk:2100 Def:1200/ LV:6)
"I must admit not bad but it's still not strong enough to take down my Borreload" I said
"true but that's why I held on to this my field spell Skyscraper" she said as the scenery changed to a city with multiply skyscrapers reaching to the sky.
As I looked around the area admiring the scene around me, I then looked up and found her Flame Wingman standing at the top of one of buildings.
"alright Flame Wingman, show him how you got your name, attack Borreload Dragon with Skydive Scorch" she shouted as the Flame Wingman began to dive toward Borreload as its body was surrounded with flames
"also, thanks to my field spell whenever an Elemental HERO attacks a monster with higher attack points my monster gains 1000 attack points" she said as the Wingman's flames intensified
(Flame Wingman/Atk:3100)
"well that would have worked if I didn't have Borreload's ability" I said
"what!?" she shouted
"you see once a turn I can target one monster then that monster loses 500 attack and defense, go Anti Enemy Varrett!" I commanded and Borreload shot a beam of orange energy and hit Flame Wingman making it weaker.
(Flame Wingman/Atk:2600)
"Oh no!" Shantae exclaimed
"Borreload counter attack" I commanded as Borreload shot another energy bullet at Flame Wingman destroying him.
(Shantae:2800)
"no Flame Wingman!" she shouted and her face turned sad
"hey Shantae are you okay" I asked worried
"yeah I'm fine its just…" she said looking down
"I understand you have a special bond with your monster like I do with Borreload, I would feel bad too if he was destroyed" I said
"really?" she asked
"of course, but you can't let that keep you down, all you have to do is just get back up and keep on fighting" I said with smile
There was a long moment of silence until Shantae looked back up with a smile on her face.
"thanks Jack I needed that" She said
"any time, now I believe we were in the middle of a duel" I said
"right I end my turn" she said
"my turn draw" I said I then looked at Shantae, "no hard feelings right" I asked
"no hard feelings" she replied
"okay then, Borreload Dragon attack her directly" I shouted as Borreload fired which made contact with Shantae kicking up some dust and dropping her life points to zero.
(Shantae:0)
Once the duel was finished the city and monsters diapered as if nothing ever happened, I then walk up to her.
"that was quite the duel, you're pretty good" I complimented
"thanks, you're not too bad yourself" she replied as I looked away embarrassed
"by the way I've been meaning to ask you where am I" I asked she then looked a little like some weirdo
"um in the Sequin Lands" she said like I was supposed to know this which of course I did not
"never heard of it" I replied
"really there where did you come from" Shantae asked
"well that's the problem my mind is still a bit fuzzy so I don't remember" I said racking my brain for answers
"really, nothing" she said shocked
"well I think I remember living a country called Arizona" I said
"Arizona?" she asked with a confused look
"yeah that's right anything else is a blur" I replied
She then was thinking hard about something until it hit her.
"I have an idea my Uncle Mimic has a lot of inventions maybe he has something that can help get your memory back" she said
"sounds good to me, lead on" I said
"alright just follow me" she said
She then took my hand and we started heading down the path and hopeful get my memoires back.
