Takusi: okay now i've gotta say this or I could get sued, I do not own yu- gi-oh or any of its characters as well as card names and anything else you could think of. I also don't own any of the other characters or their stories as well as game characters, web characters, ect that I will put into this story. And I also (unfortunately) do not own magic the gathering. At the end of every chapter I will put the websites that you will find the characters if I put any.

The rules of magic (for those who don't know them) go as followed All players (minimum of two maximum whatever you feel like) get 20 lifepoints. There are seven types of cards creatures, enchantments, instants, sorcery, artifacts, enchant creatures, and mana. There are five types of mana. Swamp (black), plains (white), forest (green), island (blue), and mountain (red). These are used to summon monsters, use sorcery, enchantments, instants, artifacts, and enchant creatures. One can only be played each turn and after they are use they are tapped for power (or turned sideways) and cannot be used again until next turn. Creatures as well as all cards (except mana) have a casting cost in the right hand corner. It usually consists of a number and some mana symbols next to it. That means that if it's a 2 forest forest then you need to tap two of any color mana (it doesn't matter which kind) and two forests (need them) if you pay that then the creature is summoned to the field. It cannot attack the first turn it is played but after it attacks it gets tapped and cannot be used until next turn. There are some creatures who have special abilities and sometimes they require a mana cost or the creature to be tapped or both or neither. When a creature attacks it is aiming for your opponents lifepoints but if your opponent has a creature out he can decide to block your creature or let it attack. And finally if a creature blocks or becomes blocked the opposing creatures attack goes to your own creature's defense and vise-versa. Example: (1) 2/2 vs. (2) 2/3, 2 damage would be dealt to (1) so it would die but (2) would get 2 damage dealt to its 3 so it would have one defense point left. Note: monsters regenerate dp (defense points) at next turn. Instants work the same as creatures with the mana only they are like sorcery cards that can be played on your opponents turn as well as yours. They are discarded after use. Sorcery cards work the same with mana and can only be used on your turn. Discard after use. Enchantments are the same with mana and can only be used on your turn. Remain on field until destroyed. Enchant creature same as enchantments only they are placed on a creature and usually power up the creature. And finally artifacts which are cards that never require a specific type of mana. These cars are like enchantments but there are also some creatures. Sorry for the lengthy reading, now on with the chapter.

"I'm glad the battle city tournament is over and i've saved the world yet again" thought Yugi to himself as he was walking home to his grandfathers shop. "but I cant help thinking where I go from here. I mean I saved the world again from some evil holograms and cardboard but now I've got nothin' to do. Oh well, I'm sure some new evil will appear, it always does" reaching for the door to his grandfathers shop he heard someone yelling "what, you're telling me that this is a game shop and you don't sell magic cards" when Yugi stepped inside he saw the person who yelled looked around 16 with long red hair that reached down to the square of his back ad enormous bangs held up in an way that they stuck straight out to the sides (probably by hair cement). He was wearing a school uniform like the one Yugi was wearing although it looked oversized. "What the hell kind of game shop are you runnin' anyway" he said angrily "I mean if it doesn't have magic, the greatest game in the world (just an opinion) then it cant have anything good." "that's not true" piped up Yugi in his grandfathers defense "what?" he said looking back at Yugi "this shop has great games" said Yugi "especially duel monsters." "ha, duel monsters, that pansy game is nothing compared to magic the gathering, the greatest game in the world." (again just an opinion) "it is not a pansy game" said Yugi softly "its better than this so called magic the gathering (opinion) and I'll prove it" "oh, yeah" said the guy walking over toward Yugi "I challenge you to a duel monsters game" said Yugi, "if I win you admit that duel monsters is a great game and you never enter my grandfathers store again" "and if I win" said the guy "then I get a 5000 dollar shopping spree to your grandfathers store" "is that okay grandpa" asked Yugi looking at him over the counter. He nodded "yes Yugi" said his grandpa "I have total faith in you." "fine then" said the guy heading for the counter. "ill meet you in the lot across the street in two hours." "why cant we duel now?" asked Yugi "because I need to make a deck of these idiotic cards." He said pointing to a box of the packs in the glass counter. "What's your name" he asked Yugi giving Yugi's grandpa a wad of cash "I am Yugi Moto" he said. "Well my name is Ryokun Nekohan "he said taking the bag of card packs from Yugi's grandpa. "And I'll see you in two hours" he said, and then left the shop. "You've got to beat him" said Yugi's grandpa "you've just got to."

Two hours later in the empty lot.(bum bum bummmm)

Yugi was standing near the giant dueling arena (how that got in an empty lot I have no clue) with Joey, Tristan, and Taya waiting for Ryokun to show up. "That joyk "(jerk, remember he has a New York accent) said Joey "he'd betta' get here soon" "look here comes someone now" said Taya pointing down the road. "Its about time ya got here" said Joey to him as he walked up "stop that" said Ryokun to Joey "you sound like a jerk with that accent" "I thought it sounded cool" said Joey (in a normal voice) hanging his head "where the hell did this thing come from" Ryokun asked Yugi as he pointed to the arena" I don't know" said Yugi "it was there when I got here" "whatever" said Ryokun climbing onto the platform "now lets do this, the sooner I win the sooner I get my shopping spree." Yugi's puzzle glowed and did that weird Yu-Gi-Oh thing that it does and the spirit came out. "I don't think so" said Yami "with the help of the millennium puzzle and the heart of the cards I shall prevail." "what the hell is a necklace that makes you go through puberty gonna' do to help you win." asked Ryokun "shut your yammering its time to duel"

Takusi: well I know that there was no magic playing in this but there will be some in the story eventually. Unfortunately I'm not gonna' write that down for every chapter so try to memorize the rules or right them down. I'm just jolting down random thoughts so there may be some other things I need to explain but keep in mind they will be explained in one of the chapters. Thanks for reading it and I hope you enjoyed it.
