Prolouge: shadows and light
It was a quiet day like any other when it happened I was on my way home from school when i was approached by an injured young woman blood soaking her white dress she held out her hand towards me handing me a deck of cards
"Keep them safe" she croaked out "the fate of the world depends on these cards" she said then collapsed
"You need a doctor" I said pulling out my phone to call an ambulance she grabbed my hand and shook her head
"It's too late for me, keep them safe and use them well" she said as the light faded from her eyes and she vanished. I looked at the deck of cards she handed me "why do I feel you're going to be more trouble than your worth" as I headed home
2 years later
"Wake up you're going to be late" a distinctly female voice said
"five more minutes I groaned" hearing a slightly discouraged sound in response
"I'll handle this Agnes" another girl's voice said
"Be gentle Edea" the girl now identified as Agnes said as I felt a swift kick to my side
"I'm awake" I groaned in pain as I got up seeing the shocked look of a girl with long brown hair and a plain looking dress and a smug looking blond haired girl with a red and black shirt a white skirt and black boots that went up to her knee's
"You know for a duel spirit you hit really hard" I said to Edea who was still smirking
"Don't forget your duel disc and deck again" said Agnes
Later at school
I was sitting in class drawing a picture of mysterious man and the girl from 2 years ago
"What you drawing loser" came a voice from next to me as I looked up I saw an older student with long black hair and a muscular build
"Leave me alone Hector" I said calmly turning back to my notebook before he took it from me
"hey give it back hector" I shouted as he flipped through it
"Make me" he responded "beat me in a duel and I might give it back"
"Anytime anywhere" I responded
"out front after school" Hector said
"Are you sure about this" Edea's voice said from my deck
"Look forward to winning loser" hector said as he walked off with my notebook
"I changed my mind he needs to be dealt with" she said
"Agreed" said the other spirits in my deck
Later after school
"looks like the loser actually showed up" hector taunted readying his duel disc
"My name is Drake and I won't lose" I said readying mine
Drake LP 4000
Hector LP 4000
"I'll go first" hector said
"I summon axe raider in attack mode"
Axe raider Atk 1700 def 1150
"Then I activate axe of despair"
Axe raider Atk 2700
"I end my turn" he said
I drew a card adding it to my hand
"first off since you have a monster and I don't I can special summon Konoe the ninja" I said as a tall woman with long green hair in a ponytail and a purple kimono looking outfit with two kunai
Konoe Atk 1500 Def 1300
"Next I place two card face down and end my turn" I said as two face downs appeared on my field
Hector drew a card "Axe raider attack his ninja" he said as his monster charged forward
"I activate Konoe's special ability once per turn when she is attacked the attack is negated and the attacking monster is destroyed" I said "go transient strike" as the axe seemed to connect with her she vanished reappearing behind axe raider and stabbing him and it shattered.
"I play one monster in defense mode and activate lightning vortex by discarding a card from my hand I can destroy all monsters on your field" I end my turn
"I draw" I said "since you destroyed Konoe I can add one asterisk the ninja to my hand from my deck or graveyard, now I summon warrior of light Edea Lee" I said 'ready Edea' I asked mentally 'you know it' she responded as the girl from earlier appeared on my field.
Edea Atk 0 Def 0
"Next I activate asterisk the ninja" I said as edea's outfit changed her hair was tied up and she wore an outfit similar to Konoe
Edea Atk 1500 Def 1300
"What how did her attack points rise so much" hector said
"When a warrior of light is equipped with an asterisk spell they gain the monsters attack defense and abilities but only one can be equipped at a time" I explained
"Now I activate the face down master and student allowing me to special summon Swordmaster Kamiizumi" I said as an older man in a green outfit and grey hair appeared on the field
Kamiizumi Atk 2000 Def 1900
"I also activate the trap Raigeki break" I said as I discarded one card from my hand destroying his monster
"Finally I activate Ise no Kami and equip it to Edea increasing her attack by 500"
'Let's do teach this guy a lesson master' Edea said
'After you Edea' Kamiizumi responded
"I attack you directly with Edea" I said as she rushed forward slashing him
Hector 2000
Drake 4000
"Now I attack with Kamiizumi" the old sword master rushed forward slashing for 2000 more points of damage
Hector 0
Drake 4000
"I win now give me back my notebook" I said
"tch fine he said shoving it at me"
"We did it we won" Agnes said appearing from my deck and wrapping me in a hug my face flushing red.
"Y-yeah" I said "thanks to practicing my dueling with Amber" still blushing from the closeness to the female duel spirit.
Later that night
I was resting in my bed when I felt a warm presence next to me and arms wrapped around me "shh just me" came the familiar voice of Agnes.
"Figured as much" I don't know exactly why but Agnes' spirit has always been different from the others she can actually manifest a physical form that anyone can see not just me all I can figure is that it has something to do with her looking like the young woman who gave me the deck in the first place and that it led to her becoming my girlfriend somehow.
"Love… you" I heard her say as she embraced me a bit tighter
"Love you too" I said as I drifted back to sleep
? Pov
I stood on a roof next door to the target watching him and the pesky spirit curled up in bed
"soon the time will be upon us" I said as I vanished into the shadows
