Chapter 1: The First and Second Wish.
Everything has an opposite, may it be an emotion, a place or a person, sort of like kindness is the opposite of envy, a war-torn battlefield is the opposite of a beautiful field of flowers and sun, a brutal warmonger is the complete opposite to the formal peacemaker, they are all opposites to one another as you can clearly see.
But what if I tell that there is a complete world opposite to us? In every mirror their always a reflection, that reflection is the Mirror Dimension, a complete opposite to the world around us, sure it may not seem like it at first glance but it is truly different, although the humans are the same, the places and locations are the same the animals in the mirror world are completely different, the animals in the Mirror Dimension are made of metal, they are bigger, stronger and bipedal rather than cursed with flesh like in the real world, their so different, their not even called animals, they are instead refereed to as Beastiarts, the mix of Beastial and Art.
They cannot be tamed unless you assign a contract with them, once this happens the Beastiart will listen to the contract holder and lend them their abilites for battle but its a trade off of giving the contract holder the task of feeding the Beastiart they formed a contract with, their favorite meal is either humans or Beastiart, if they starve their very much willing to eat their contract holder
Twelve years ago, a certain man of great mystical power went into the Mirror Dimension, having a great desire to fulfill a great void in his life, he captured various amounts of different Beastiarts of the Mirror Dimension, he created decks that acted as various transformation trinkets, the decks contained cards that lend the user powers and weapons of the Beastiarts, almost becoming the human Avatar for the Beastiart that they contracted with, once the human gets a hold on one of the decks, this is why the man called the users of these decks are Beastiart Avatars, Avatars being essentially just contract holders to the Beastiart but having more than just control of the Beastiart.
The man calls himself the Avatar Master, a powerful figure that was able to grant wishes making him seem less of a human and more of some kind of genie, having a brutal desire to find his own happiness he believed battle, violence and the manipulation of humanities most crippling temptations and desires is what brings him happiness and in most cases hes right.
And when he made the Ten Beastiart Decks, every year ever since he created the Ten Beastiart Decks he would silently and ambiguously pass out these nine decks to ten humans who couldn't resist the temptation of one wish, the wishes highly varied from being petty such as money or love for specific person or beauty to being virtuous and heroic such as saving a dying family member's life, a healthy city to maybe something completely in the middle.
He would ask them what was their wish and he will grant it, once they do he gives them one of the Beastiart decks and tells them to defeat the other Beastiart Avatars and then he will grant their wish, this whole process is what he calls the Avatar Battle Royale.
Its been this for twelve years, the Avatar Master traveled from city to city, bringing his Ten Avatar Decks with him, giving people in great desperation a chance to get everything they want if it means killing nine other people in battle by being a Beastiart Avatar.
The Avatar Master is now desiring another Avatar Battle Royale, and he knows a certain city that is riddled with wishes that people are willing to kill to be granted, now in 2015, the latest Avatar Battle Royale is going to start in Norrisville, and the only thing now that the Avatar Master needs to do is to find clueless and desperate people that have wishes that they want to be granted, he will target the High School Students for their wishes are less logical and are more desperate in having it granted, after some examination he already picked the ten students who will be most likely to be enticed by his words.
The Avatar Master laughed, let the 2015 Avatar Battle Royale begin...Ten Students will be given a chance to have a wish be granted, one student will win, the rest will reside forever in the Mirror Dimension, this is simply the truth for it has been this for twelve years.
Norrisville High...
A boy was in the metalworking room, his hair was brown, his face was fair but it sported a noticeable scowl, he wore a blue apron and underneath the apron was a simple white tank top, he was grumbling loudly as he was smithing something, it was not a weapon or a piece of armor, it wasn't a horeshoe or even as something simple as a nail, it was corn holders.
The Boy's name is Brent, he is Smith's apprentice, despite this however, Brent has only been allowed to craft only corn holders, the more basic things that Metalworking can create, something that Brent was greatly bothered by. Despite being the apprentice of Smith, Brent had his problems with his master, it mostly came from the fact that the despite how much Brent has tried in making Corn Holders, the Holders will always break when they're actually used for their purpose.
So because of this, Brent has been spending some time completely alone in the metalworking room, making a pile of corn holders so he can have them be test out once more, Brent had a clear tinge of venom and anger in his mood, clearly just wanting this to be done for the sake of being done, his failures have greatly took a toll on Brent's attitude.
Brent was finishing up his pile of corn holders and he was preparing to leave so he can go home, that is until he heard a voice, the voice's tone being deep, mysterious and a bit somber.
"Hello little boy...You Seem...Broken...Tell me what troubles little Brent?" The Voice said, referring Brent by his name something that caused the Apprentice to look around the empty metalworking room.
"Who and where are you?" Brent asked the voice, the voice laughed in response and what appeared right in front of Brent and in a puff of black is a hooded figure, his stance is crooked and slouched, his slouching greatly reducing his height making him seem just as tall as Brent.
"My name is not important young apprentice...What is important...Is what you want...So tell me...What is it?" The hooded figure said with a calm tone, Brent took a couple steps back as Brent glanced at the exit.
"Young Brent...Do not worry...I'm no threat...I just want to know what is what you desire most..." The Hooded figure said noticing Brent's desire to run away from him.
"I can grant it you see...I can appear in puffs of black smoke and brimstone, I can grant any wish..." Brent was hesitant to even talk to the Hooded Figure.
"Anything?" Brent asked, his voice being thick and distinct, something that the Hood figure strangely finds endearing.
"Anything...As long as your willing to do a simple task for me..."
"Can you make me a great metalworker?" Brent asked, the Hooded figure laughed and simply nodded in response, all of sudden the Hooded Figure stuck his left hand out to Brent and all of the sudden in a small puff of black in the palm of his hand, a deck case appeared, the deck case containing several cards, the deck case being black and the front of the deck case having a symbol of a crab on it, the Hooded Figure then stuck his other hand and what appeared in a puff of black smoke was a belt, it was silver and the buckle having a large socket that the deck case goes in.
"Fight the others who will receive decks like you...Then your wish will be granted..." The Hooded figure said as he handed the two items to Brent, Brent looked at the two trinkets, beating other people so he can get out of being a smith of Corn Holders, it seemed promising for the Apprentice.
"How do I know where to fight the others?" Brent asked, clearly wanting to be a great metalworker, wanting to get the basic finished and moving on the more important metalworks
"Do not worry Brent...They will arrive...They are students in this school, Nine of them to be exact, your the first to have a deck, to use it, you must wield the belt and insert the deck in the belt buckle socket... I will go now, finding others that are broken and bearing a wish that yearns to be granted..." The Hooded figure finished as he disappeared in a puff of black smoke, leaving Brent with a small deck of cards and a belt.
Elsewhere...
Randy Cunningham sighed loudly as he was alone in the library, something that was uncommon both for being alone and lacking any of the energy he usually has, hes usually with his best friend Howard Weinerman, but now he was alone and he somewhat wanted to be alone after hearing some bad news, his mother, was greatly sick, she's at the hospital after her sickness has gotten worse, before she could be at home but now not so much.
What also gotten worse is that due to the fact that the Sorcerer is defeated, Randy has no real reason to turn into the Ninja, so he can't even get his mind off to somewhere else, Randy's has been having some difficulty trying to not worry about his mother, his lovely mother that takes care of him.
Randy decided to finally have the courage to go to the hospital to see if it isn't as bad as Randy thinks it is, until he was stopped by a sudden deep and somber voice.
"Tell me Boy...Why do you seem so...Broken?"
"What the juice?" Randy said as he quickly looked around the library, not seeing anyone, the only person that was in the library was himself, instinctively he went into his bag and clenched his Ninja mask tightly just in case if this voice had a physical form that was pretty much willing to cause havoc and violence.
"Don't not worry my child...I only want to know if you want your Mother to be healthy again..." The voice said after a second of silence, the Hooded Figure once again appeared in a puff of black smoke. Randy was not faltered by the slouching hooded figure, he widen his eyes at the Hooded Figure when he spoke of his sick mom.
"How the juice do you know that?" Randy said as he was very much tempted to put on his Ninja mask and waste this Hooded shoob.
"That doesn't matter...What does matter is...I can make her cured of her disease...I can grant your wish...If you do a simple task for me..." The Hooded Figure as he stuck his right hand out to Randy, and what appeared in a puff of red smoke this time was deck case, it was red, just like the smoke it appeared in and on the front of the case was a symbol of a dragon and in his other hand was the same silver belt that the Hooded Figure gave Brent.
"If you fight the others who bears wishes that want to be granted...Take this deck, take this belt...Fight the Others...Your Mother will be proud of you..."
