Hello, I'm BBM. I thought I should explain how duels go in my fanfic. Pretty much normal rules, except with 8000 life points. There isn't a duel in the prologue, although there is one in the first chapter. For the most part, I'll be using the effects of real life cards, if it differs from the effect in the anime. However, for some cards, like Card of Sanctity, I'll use the anime effect. Oh, and any cards I make up will be explained at the bottom of the chapter. Now, on with the prologue!
Prologue
Seto sat in his chair, thinking hard. His new tournament, Duel City would be a grand hit. He'd invited people from all over the world. Of course, he'd be far too busy to actually participate, but ah well. You couldn't always have what you wanted. His thinking was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in," he said calmly. The door opened, only to admit a girl around his age. The girl was quite tall, almost as tall as him, with long blue hair coming down to her waist. She had a mischievous twinkle in her eye as she sat on the chair opposite Seto.
He frowned, and said, "Go away, and come back in another two years to apply for a job at the desk on the bottom floor."
"Funny. Too bad I'm not here for a job. I'm here with a business proposition."
"A business proposition? What, does your dad own a little butcher shop down the street? Kaiba Corp. only deals with Industrial Illusions and other large game companies. Sorry."
She grinned. "Very funny, Mr. Kaiba. My dad does not own a butcher shop down the street. What he does own though, is a Duel Disk company, called Crass Corp. He heard about this new tournament you're hosting. He'd be glad to supply all the participants with brand new duel disks."
"You know, when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. What's the catch? Do I have to sign over Kaiba Corp. in exchange?"
"The only catch is that you pay him 5 million American dollars. Of course for a company who makes that much in an hour, it shouldn't be all that hard. So how about it? Deal or no Deal?"
"I hate that show. And besides, why should I accept? I can easily afford to pay the money, but a 1000 or so duel disks are hardly worth that much."
"That's what my dad thought you'd say. That's why I'm here instead of one of my dad's lackeys. According to my dad, being of the fairer gender will allow me to 'woo' you better."
"Sorry, I like my whores to be better looking," Seto dryly replied.
"That's what I told my dad. However, in the off chance you don't have a better looking whore, I'd rather not become one, which brings us to the second option."
"And would that consist of you taking a knife out of your pocket and threatening to kill me?" asked Seto.
"Not quite. The second option is that I duel you, and if I win, you agree. Of course, I'd rather not do that either. It would be far too easy for me."
After a pause, Seto replied, "Let's find out then. I win; I get to continue with my Duel City plans how I want to. If by some miracle you manage to win, I'll agree with your plans."
Both of them took their decks out of holsters on their hip, and yelled, "DUEL!!"
