Chapter 1: Rising Sword, Slashing through the Darkness!
Neo Copan, a city which blooms within the United Country. Here many people have normal daily lives, such as cooks; police duty; even librarian duty. However one way live hasn't change since its creation in ancient time and that is Duel Monsters! Many people from the elite veterans to the young rookies have always dueled to see who is #1 in the game as well seeing who is the next "King of Games". This story is about one such person, a young kid who will help change the way of life in Neo Copan. And his name is…
"Tem….. Tem! Hey wake up Tem! You're gonna be late for breakfast!" one voice said. -CRASH!- "Tem! Are you…" "I'm Okay Matt, just fell out of bed" said another but younger voice.
-Residential area of Neo Copan
A kid around 13 years old was holding his head after just falling out his bed. Fate couldn't blame him. Despite his older brother's best intentions, his cooking on the other hand is one thing that would make even Marik Ishtar would cower in fear. "Man, why does Matt always try to cook? Is he really that DENSE?"
"Tem! What's taking you so long? Your food is getting cold!" sighing at that Tem, quickly got dressed knowing the semi and the final matches were today. Dressed in a blue t-shirt with a white sword crest and gray sweatpants, he decided to leave his duel deck and other stuff for later. "Coming Matt!" "Note to self, wake up earlier from now on so Matt wouldn't cook for you." Rushing to the dining room in their apartment, Tem sees his older brother Matt. While they both have darkish brown hair, the only difference is that Matt has blue-green eyes and has to wear glasses while Tem's are pure blue. Tem see that his brother is also dressed for his job which consisted of a white button shirt under a beige vest and red tie, black slacks and work shoes and to top it off much to Tem's embarrassment, a brown fedora hat which Matt claims makes him feel "Hard-Boiled"*
As Tem sits down he looks with dread at the sight before him on the table. Overcooked and burned eggs, burnt toast, and thin remains of what was bacon. "Well at least he can't burn orange juice" sighing at this, he eats the food his brother left for him. "So Tem, I heard you advanced to the semi-finals huh?" Looking up, he sees his brother's eyes looking deeply troubled. Ever since 6 months ago Tem had went to places that people gather up to duel. While some were honest duelists looking for fun, a good portion were tough and snobbish hoping to crush weak beginners. Luckily Tem had only lost to few of those. "Yeah I'm hoping to advance to the final to take on that Kenji guy. His deck seems really tough and fun to take on" Sighing at his brother's determination, Matt can see there was no way to talk him out of dueling. "Well you just need to focus on that next opponent you're facing before you talk about Kenji Idate. What's her name again?" while drinking his coffee he heard Tem say "Belle Figorr I think?" hearing that Matt spit his coffee out in shock "Say WHAT?! The…. The Temptress?!"
"What's the matter?" asked Tem, seeing his brother freaked out like that. Holding his shoulders with both arms, "Tem, the Temptress is from the Black Tempest! What if you get yourself hurt dueling someone like that?!" Tem sighs at his brother's reaction knowing why he got worried quickly. The Black Tempest is a group of duelists the rules the underground of Neo Copan. Not much is known about them though they are said to be very dangerous opponents to face against.
"Matt I know that you're worried about me but I can, no I WILL defeat her" seeing the flame in Tem's eyes, Matt sighed. "Well just try to be careful okay?" "Ok Matt" 10 minutes later Tem and Matt got fully dressed with Tem having white track shoes and a blue cap with a Knight crest on it while Matt had put on a brown trench coat as well as his camera which Matt always carries. Tem however also had a pair of dog-tags which Matt told him that belong to their late father.
They got their stuff together and headed off the tournament. One, to interview contestants there. The other, to win the tournament. "I have to win this. For Matt's sake and to get him out of his debt he owes the Black Tempest. I just have to….."

"Attention all viewers and contestants! The Semi-Final Matches will soon begin followed by the final match! I repeat…" was what the speakers were blaring out. "Well Tem, guess this it huh?" "Yep…. And I'm guessing your gonna take pictures huh?" Before Matt can answer though the announcer's voice blared though the speakers once more.
"The match-up for the 1st semi-finals is Tem Uraki vs. Belle Figorr! And the 2nd match will be Seijuro Hiko* vs. Kenji Idate!" Tem looks up are the screen showing the match line-ups. "Well deck, time to slash through the completion then!"
*To anyone that knows that phase should know where it came from.
* And if anyone who knows the person should know where it came from…..
