Chapter 1- And the Mystery Begins…
A child and father playing at the park, laughing and smiling. Her smile going from ear to ear and one so bright it could compete with the sun. The father beaming back, like nothing else mattered. Then another instant of the same child, a little older now, picking her father and his friends flowers just for them… from the family garden. Another time, a couple years later; the young girl winning her first tournament and her father beaming happily. A couple years later, the teenage girl bringing her home her first boyfriend and her father going to get the shotgun…but in the end making them laugh at the boy's reaction. Then finally a couple years later, the teenage girl coming home to find her house a disaster when her father and his friends were suppose to be home. Looking around the house, fearing the worse but never finding it instead finding a note from her father's friend that said one word… Itzli!
A couple months later
The sun shown through the curtains as a gentle breeze blew the apartment tickling the skin of a young girl until the warmth of the sun woke her up. She yawned and looked outside, blinking a couple times as her eyes adjusted.
"Pia," a female voice yelled down the hallway. The girl, Pia, looked down the hallway as she saw her friend at the end smiling. Pia smiled and quickly got dressed into her school uniform and threw her curly crimson hair in a ponytail. She walked and said,
"Good morning Fallon, coming over to have breakfast again?" The friend, Fallon, smiled and replied.
"If that is alright with you." Pia chuckled and nodded before commenting,
"Of course it is… why wouldn't it be?" She giggled at that last part as Fallon blushed lightly and smiled. The two went into the kitchen to get food, Pia got down some cereal and Fallon put some toast in the toaster. They soon sat down to enjoy a breakfast together.
"So any news on… you know?" Fallon looked at Pia, whose eyes saddened slightly and shook her head.
"I don't even know who Itzli is? But somehow I think whoever he or she is, they're responsible to what happened to my dad." Fallon nodded at that and took a bite of toast.
"Well don't worry Pia, we'll keep looking." Pia nodded at her best friend as she added,
"Someone out there knows something, all we have to do is find them." Pia smiled at that and finished her cereal and milk as Fallon finished up her toast. Both girls put their dishes in the dishwasher and went to finish getting ready. Pia went into her room to grab her duel disk and her deck, her eyes brimmed with tears as she remembered both being gifts from her father or at least the deck was. The duel disk was a gift from his friends since she could never use a normal duel disk. She was one of the gifted that was left handed instead of right handed. Fallon walked in as she heard her best friend sniffle, she walked over and gave her hug.
"Come on lets go, P." Pia nodded and left the room. Soon both girls were on their way to The Duel Academy. On the way the two girls saw a swarm of girls up ahead. As they walked by, they looked over to see none other than Mr. Jack Atlas.
"It would be so cool to be as famous as Jack in turbo dueling. I mean your freakishly good at Pia, maybe you could give Jack a run for his money someday." All Pia did was hum to that, her mind was off in space again. Fallon sighed and said,
"As soon as you quit spacing out." Pia snapped out of it and looked at her.
"I'm serious when I duel so I'd have no problem in a turbo duel." Fallon widened her eyes in shock, she was sure Pia hadn't heard her say the earlier part. Pia smirked at her best friend's reaction and added,
"Just because I'm zoning doesn't mean I'm not listening." Pia giggled as Fallon blushed slightly then playfully punched her arm. Pia giggled even more as they entered The Duel Academy. They made their way to their first class which was with Professor Kane. The girls chattered excitedly about this and that until the professor came in. Before they knew it, the bell rang and class was over. Fallon looked at Pia and asked,
"So what did you think of the lecture?"
"It wasn't that bad, Professor Kane is a good speaker." Fallon nodded and made their way to the cafeteria. As they were almost there both girls heard a snort behind them. Fallon rolled her eyes as Pia ticked. They both turned around to see a brunette sneering at them.
"What do you want Lily?" asked Fallon, glaring at her.
"Oh, just coming to torment you losers. It's so much, I just can't pass up an opportunity to do it." Lily smiled big and innocently. Pia snorted and turned to go into the cafeteria as she did she said over her shoulder.
"Get a life Lily." Fallon smiled as she followed her best friend into the cafeteria. The rest of the day went by with no more interruptions from Lily. Well until after school anyways, and both girls knew that. They walked towards the exit knowing full well she was going to make a big scene outside about Pia telling her off.
"Hey bitch, no one tells me off like that." A growl came from behind them. Fallon turned around to see Lily stomping towards them but Pia kept walking. All she said to Fallon was,
"Ignore her, she just craves attention." Which only caused an already pissed Lily to nearly explode.
"Why you little…" she screamed. Fallon winced at the decibels while Pia stopped and turned around, raising an eyebrow.
"Than lets settle this…" Pia pulled out her duel disk and activated it. Lily glared at her with a look of daggers as she put hers on and activated it.
"DUEL!"
Pia: 4000
Lily: 4000
"I'll go first!" shouted Lily, "And I'll play the field spell, The Gates of Dark World." Pia cringed slightly but composed herself as Lily kept going. "I place two cards face down and I summon Gren, Tactician of Dark World (2/300/500) in attack mode." Lily smiled smugly as she ended her turn. Why did she put that monster in attack mode? It's better in defense mode. Pia shook her head as she said,
"My draw!" Pia smiled at her hand then continued,
"And I'll summon Divine Dragon Ragnarok (4/1500/1000) in attack mode. And I'll place two cards face down." Pia smiled at Lily as she looked at her pink dragon.
"Ragnarok, attack with Darkness Obliteration!" Ragnarok shot a beam of light, shattering Gren instantly. Lily yelped as she was knocked on her butt. Fallon chuckled and said,
"The irony in that attack." Pia smiled and chuckled as heard her friend.
Pia: 4000
Lily: 3100
"My turn," Lily said as she drew, " I will activate Dark World Lightning to destroy one face down facedown card on the field but I unfortunately for you I have to discard one card in order to use it." Lily slipped one card into the graveyard as a dark bolt of lightning destroyed the face down on the left. Pia breathed a sigh of relief as it missed the one she actually needed. Her breathing hitched when she saw a demonic looking warrior clad in black and silver armor with a black cape and a long sword. Lily smiled and explained,
"Due to me discarding him, I could now special summon Sillva, Warlord of Dark World (5/2300/1400) But my field spell gives him a little boost. (5/2300-2600/1500)." Lily looked at the pink dragon and smirked.
"Sillva, attack Ragnarok with Silver Shadow Slash." Sillva dashed towards Ragnarok, raising his blade as Pia yelled,
"I don't think so, I activate my trap…Negate Attack." Sillva bounced off a barrier back to Lily's side of the field. Lily growled as she ended her turn. Pia thought for a second also noticing they were getting a crowd. Dang! Why does everyone have to be interested?
"I draw!" exclaimed Pia, "and I'll summon Debris Dragon (4/1000/2000) then I'll play the spell card Double Summon… so with out further adieu I sacrifice Divine Dragon Ragnarok and Debris Dragon to summon the king of hellfire, Blaster Dragon Ruler of Infernos (7/2800/1800) in attack mode." A column of fire erupted in the center of the field and out stepped a demonic looking dragon that had magma for skin and hot coal spikes coming from it's wings and spine. It roared a heat blast at Sillva at took its place on Pia's side of the field. Pia studied the field for a second, looking at Lily's facedowns remembering what her dad and Aster taught her. Blaster looked back at her as she looked up at him and said,
"I'll end my turn here boy, not gonna risk it." Lily smiled and said,
"How cute, you actually care for your cards… well I'm going to get rid of your precious dragon." Pia scowled at her tone as Blaster looked back at her as if to tell her it was alright.
"I draw! I'm going to activate the second effect of The Gates of Dark World and remove from play Gren, Tactician of Dark World and discard Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World and I draw one card." Pia watched as she drew one card and smirked. "I return Sillva, Warlord of Dark World to my hand to special summon Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World (8/2700/1800). But don't forget the first effect of my field spell, Grapha now gets an additional 300 attack points. (8/2700-3000/1800-2100)." Lily smiled and paused for a second. Pia along with everyone else stared at the dragonic demon standing on the field. Everyone jumped when Lily said,
"I would love to say I'm done, actually no I wouldn't, but I'm not. So now I summon Gren, Tactician of Dark World but he won't be staying for long since I play the spell Double Summon and sacrifice him to bring back to the field Sillva, Warlord of Dark World. And he also gets a little boost. (5/2300-2600/1400-1700)." Pia gulped as Blaster bellowed at Grapha, and Pia swore she could hear his bellow echo through out the city. Lily smiled sweetly at Blaster and said,
"Grapha, Dark World Bite." The demon rushed at Blaster and bit down on the base of his neck, shattering him to pieces.
"Okay, Sillva attack her directly with Silver Shadow Slash." Sillva rushed Pia and brought it's sword down, cutting her straight down.
"Pia!" yelled Fallon. Pia staggered back and glared at the cackling girl across the way. Pia growled as Lily ended her turn and smirked.
Pia: 1200
Lily: 3100
Pia dusted herself off as she looked at Lily and said,
"Your going to regret destroying Blaster." Pia whipped a card out and smirked as she looked at it. Lily froze slightly.
"Well ain't this a peach, I play the spell Pot of Greed. And I know your dense so I'll explain it for you. I draw two cards." Lily fumed as Pia drew two cards and her smirk turned to a mischievous smile. Lily sucked a breath in.
"Remember when I said you were going to regret sending Blaster to the graveyard well here's why. I play the spell Monster Reborn to bring back the only lord of hellfire. Come on back Blaster Dragon Ruler of Infernos." Another column of fire erupted in the center and her favorite magma dragon stepped out. And roared at Grapha as if saying I'm Back! He quickly took to Pia's side of the field.
"I don't know why you brought him back when I'm just going to destroy him next turn." Lily said snidely. Pia smirked and replied,
"Now, now…who said I was done? I will equip Blaster with a little spell called Malevolent Nuzzler. You see, now he kinda gets… oh, 700 attack points sound good." Fallon smirked at her friends other side, the side that only comes out when you insult her deck. Her magma dragon began to glow green. (7/2800-3500/1800). Lily gulped as she looked at Blaster and Pia smirked as she said,
"Blaster, attack Grapha with Cauterized Bite!" Blaster bellowed again as he rushed towards Grapha and bit down on his neck causing him to let out a horrific screech before shattering. Blaster had a pleased look on his face as he made his back to Pia. Lily glared at the dragon who paid her no attention.
"Well I'd say he's content, so I'll end my turn."
Pia: 1200
Lily: 2600
Pia looked at Lily who growled as she drew a card. She took a dep breath calming herself.
"I play the spell card Dark World Dealings, we both draw one card and then discard one card." Pia drew Baby Dragon and discarded Tempest Dragon Ruler of Storms. Lily continued,
"I set one monster and end my turn." She discarded one card and looked at Pia, who raised an eyebrow. Pia drew then said,
"I place one card facedown and then I'll summon Baby Dragon to the field in attack mode. (3/1200/700)." Everyone cooed when they saw an adorable orange dragon appear next to the demonic looking one. Lily raised an eyebrow as the baby dragon burped smoke. Pia smiled and shook her head.
"Blaster why don't you make it safe for Baby Dragon, attack Sillva with Inferno Fissure." Blaster roared and blasted into the ground. Lily smirked and was about to say something when a column of fire blasted Sillva sky high, causing Lily to jump back. Blaster snorted triumphantly as Baby Dragon squeaked. Pia and Fallon just shook their heads at the dragon's antics.
"And now Baby Dragon, why don't you attack the facedown with Iron Clamp." Baby Dragon squealed in delight as everyone including Lily got a confused look on their faces. Baby Dragon rushed forward and tackled the facedown, clamping down on the red ape-like creature. Causing it to bellow and try to shake the Baby Dragon off, but it wasn't going anywhere. Baby Dragon finally clamped down so hard it shattered, causing the little dragon to go rolling back to Pia's side. Lily glared at the Baby Dragon and said,
"I don't like that one!" Pia smirked and ended her turn.
Pia: 1200
Lily: 1700
Lily smirked and drew, then smiled as she said,
"I summon Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World (4/1600/1300). Then I activate Grapha's special ability and special summon him by returning Beiige to my hand." A deafening roar resounded through the area as the draconic demon came back. Blaster roared in aggravation. Lily smiled at Baby Dragon and said,
"What I don't like I get rid of, Grapha attack Baby Dragon with Dark World Bite." Baby Dragon squeaked and hid its face. Pia smirked and said,
"I don't think so, I activate my trap Waboku. Negating the damage and Baby Dragon's destruction." Lily growled at the same time Grapha did and ended her turn. Pia drew and placed a card facedown then smiled.
"Well, Blaster let's see how high Grapha goes…attack with Inferno Fissure." Blaster sucked in a lot of air before letting lose a bigger stream of fire then before. A couple seconds later, Grapha was flying…even though his wings weren't moving. Pia looked over when she heard Fallon say,
"30 feet, 50 feet… hey it's a new record." Pia face palmed herself as she shot back at Fallon.
"It was a record at five feet." Causing everyone to laugh and Blaster to snort in triumph…again!
"You know what Lily, I feel sorry for you… cause Baby Dragon, Iron Clamp." Lily's eyes widened as Baby Dragon ran at her. Everyone cringed as Lily howled flinging Baby Dragon back. He snorted and flew back to Pia's side.
"I really hate that Baby Dragon!"
Pia: 1200
Lily: 0000
Fallon came up and hugged Pia. Lily scowled and stomped off.
"Girl, your probably the only female I know who can use a dragon deck." Pia smiled at her as they walked away back to her apartment in the Tops. What neither girl noticed was a stranger watching them, observing them. He took a couple notes then left. Pia shuddered and looked over shoulder causing Fallon to stop.
"What is it P?" Pia scanned the area and turned back answering.
"I dunno, I just felt someone was watching me." Fallon looked back before saying.
"Come on, lets get to your place." Pia nodded as the two hastily left. Soon enough they were at the Anderson residence, Fallon noticed a couple envelopes in the mailbox. She walked in and slipped her shoes off before going into the kitchen. Pia looked up and saw her with two envelopes but before she could say anything Fallon handed her one as she opened another. Pia opened hers and gasped. Fallon's eyes widened as she saw what was on it. Fallon read then said out loud,
"This is…is an invitation to… participate in the Fortune Cup!" Pia looked up at her friend's stuttering and nodded. Why invite me to it? Yes, my dad is Jesse Anderson but it is also well known he never let me do major tournaments. Something's not right… Fallon looked up and said,
"Are you turbo dueling in it?" Pia looked at her and nodded. Fallon squealed in delight as she did a happy dance.
"This is so awesome! I can't believe we got invited to the Fortune Cup!" Pia shook her head and smiled then plopped down on the couch. She sighed looking at her backpack, wondering if she should do her homework. Fallon looked at Pia and smiled as she went to go make a snack for them. After that the evening flew by, the two finished their homework and chatted more about the Fortune Cup. Before they knew it, it was time to go to bed. Fallon excused herself and went into the guest bedroom while Pia looked the doors. She yawned and went into her room, changing into her pajamas then flopping down on the bed. For a while she just stared at the ceiling. I miss you Daddy! Her eyes started to droop before she knew it she was asleep.
At an unknown location
The man from before, that was observing Pia's duel, walked into a darkened chamber and smirked.
"Well Pia's quite the duelist! You would be proud of her, commanding dragon's the way she did." He smirked when he heard a shuffle then a low what sounded like a monotone voice say,
"We know! She's always been a good duelist and she can overcome anything that comes her way." The man slammed his hands down on the table before saying,
"Everything except me!"
