This story is set approx. 55 years following Yugioh Zexal II's ending.
Nikorasu Yusho rode down the streets of a seedy area on his Duel Runner made from scrap metal. He was soon after turning 18, had long wavy blonde hair, hazel eyes, stood about 5'9" and had a criminal mark under his left eye, and another on his forehead shaped like a dot. He loved riding his runner, dueling as especially turbo dueling; It was his life and his goal was to be the best duelist in the world, as far out as that dream may be for a shy kid from the slums with a deck made of cards other threw away for the most part.
"Niko!" shouted his friend riding behind him, Kaibun Oniriki. Kaibun was taller then Nikorasu, at about 5'10" with long silver hair and green eyes, and like Niko had a criminal mark on his forehead, also a dot. "I knew I'd find you here!" again shouted Kaibun. "Did you hear about the CDCT?", Niko furrowed his brow, "CDCT?", "Yeah; Champion Duelist Championship Tournament, it's a wide open Duel Monsters tournament with all the best players, and anyone can enter!", "So of course I took the liberty of registering us both, it starts tomorrow". "Boom! I'll see you then, Kaibun!" Niko shouted. Niko couldn't sleep the whole night thinking about dueling the best duelists in the world.
The next day...
"Ladies and gentleman! Get ready for the first round of the CDCT!" the announcer shouted. "Let me first explain the special rules of this tournament. Each duelist starts with 6000 life points and all duels are riding duels, however there are no special turbo duel rules. No speed world, nothing. A regular duel, just while riding. We select your opponents each round for 7 rounds of single elimination, action packed dueling. From there, the remaining 16 duelists playoff for the championship. Good luck to all!" Niko and Kaibun talked. "Who you got Kaibun?" "Some chick, hope she's hot!" the over-enthusiastic Kaibun said. "Uh-oh, I got Jonas Kashun, one of the best duelists in the country. He finished 2nd in the regionals last year!" "Good luck bro"
"Ready to go down punk!?" shouted Jonas, a tall man at about 5'11" and several years Niko's senior at 24, he rode a fancy duel runner with a light brown haired mullet and slight beard, as he and Niko traded paint.
"Duel!" they shouted as the life point counters activated and duel began.
"Ladies first" said Jonas, much to the dismay of Niko. "Watch it!" he shouted as he drew a card. "I summon Queen's Knight and toss down 2 face down cards, your go" said Niko. "I activate cards of cosonance, so by discarding my Majestic Dragon I can draw 2 cards" said Jonas as he did just that as they came to the first turn, which a nerve filled Niko almost muffed. "Best step up your riding, Rookie!" said Jonas as he activated Mystical Space Typhoon, destroying Niko's face down Mirror Force, then summoned Goblin Attack Force and destroyed his Queen's knight, leaving niko with 5200 life points. "However, my goblin's have to go to defense mode for this turn, and i 'toss down' 2 face downs" Niko drew. "Yeah I know, 'cuz I got some Goblins of my own!" He said as summoned his own goblin attack force and destroyed Jonas', "you know the drill" he said as he swapped it to defense. Jonas drew, and summoned vorse raider and activated call of the haunted, reviving his goblin's, "Now I overlay them to Xyz summon the mighty steelswarm roach! Destroy his goblins!", he then set another face down and ended. Niko drew, and played Pot of Greed, drawing 2 cards. "'Perfecto', I play Black Luster Ritual, and by offering up my Marauding captain and turret warrior, I summon Black Luster Soldier!" "Go fiendish chain!" Jonas' said as his card stopped all use of attack with Black Luster. "Dammit!" Niko shouted as he ended his turn. "I'll activate Royal Decree, negating my 2 trap cards." "Why...?" Niko pondered. "AND NOW I SACRIFICE MY 3 TRAPS!" "Oh no! Could it be?" "I Summon Uria, Lord of Searing Flames!", "How did you get that?" Niko asked. "Simple, Industrial illusions remade the Egyptian Gods, Sacred Beasts, Earthbound Immortals, Signer Dragons and Numbers for champion duelists to win as prizes. The prize for this tournament is Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder which I am after for my beast collection...heheh" Niko gulped. "Now i play lightning vortex, so by discarding another call of the hanuted I destroy your soldier, and now uria has 4000 attack!" "Damn you..." "Go uria, strike him down!" Niko screamed with pain as he got burned by the fire and runner span out of control. "Looks like your gonna peel out rookie." taunted Jonas "Not yet!" a tattered and weakened Niko screamed as he kept riding with 1200 life points to work with to Jonas' untouched 6000. "How did you survive Uria!?" Jonas asked with shock. "As anti-climatic as it is, pure luck. After all, I am a 'rookie'" Niko sarcastically remarked as he drew and activated Magical Stone excavation, so by discarding 2 cards he got back his pot of greed and activated it. "2 cards...Come on, here goes everything!" He shouted as he closed his eyes and drew. "YES!' shouted Niki, "Dark Hole, Destroy Uria!" A black hole enveloped and destroyed the great red dragon. "This can't be!" said Jonas "Oh it be! And there's more, remember when I discarded those 2 cards? One was Quillbolt Hedgehog, and I play junk syncrhon to revive it and synchro summon...Junk Warrior!" The warrior attacked Jonas directly, knocking his confidence down a notch, and his life points too, bringing them to 3700. Jonas drew. "Nothing, dammit!" he thought as he passed and warrior struck him down again, leaving him at 1400 and Niko set a card face down. Jonas drew and smirked. "Dark hole!" Niko shouted back at him, "No! I activate Magic jammer, so by discarding a card, it is negated!, warrior finish him off!" He said as warrior punched Jonas off his runner and face first onto the ground, depleting his points and niko, in a major upset, winning and eliminating Jonas. "How could i lose...to such a weakling!?" "Hey, it was some fight!" "Shut up, fool!" he said to the oos and ahs of the crowd. "I'll be back don't you worry. Your going down punk!" Niko walked away a winner, "I wonder how Kaibun's doing he said as he looked towards where he was dueling and saw Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca appear. "Not a good sign!" he said as he ran over.
