Chapter 1: Hearts of Enemies

Ryan's POV

It's been two weeks since my duel with Kite and things have pretty much returned to normal. Well, almost everything. The day after the duel Mr. Heartland announced the first World Duel Carnival Tournament or WDC for short. I was quick to register both me and my brother Shark to enter the tournament. But Shark refused to enter since he wasn't interested in duel tournaments any more but was more than willing to be my coach and cheering section for my duels. I still can't get over the fact that me and my brother were closer than ever. Last year up to a couple of weeks ago he barely even noticed me and now we're back to being best of friends. We were ready to get back home from school when suddenly we saw Yuma running out of the school as fast as the Flash.

"Where is he going in such a hurry?" I asked.

"We're going to find out, hop on!" Shark told me as I got into the passenger seat behind him on the motorcycle as we drove off to catch up to Yuma. We finally stopped him before he ran on to the road.

"Yuma, where's the fire?" I asked him.

"Well you know that World Duel Carnival that's coming up?" he asked us as we nodded.

"Well, I sort of forgot to register for it." He said as my brother and I shook our heads.

"But hey are you two entering the tournament?" he asked us.

"Ryan is but I'm not." Shark answers. "I'm going to be Ryan's coach and cheer him on from the sidelines."

"Cool." Said Yuma as Shark started up the motorbike again.

"Well we got to get going Yuma, bye." I called out to him as we rode off. As we continued heading back to our apartment I looked at Shark. "You know Shark it would've been cool if you entered the tournament. We could've tried to meet each other in the championship match again." Shark and I have tried several times before the scandal last year at the tournament to reach the finals together, but every time one of us would lose. Suddenly my brother stopped the motorbike as I looked at him. "Hey Shark, why the sudden stop?" I asked him.

"This is why." He said as showed me what he was holding what looked like a duel monsters card.

"Where did that come from?" I asked.

"We're going to find out." He said as he got hopped off the motorbike as I followed him to a nearby building. We then climbed up to the top of the building and when we got there, we heard an all too familiar voice.

"Well, well, if it isn't my two favorite duelists." We both turned around as we saw a boy with gold and maroon hair with a scar on his eye and a matching white coat and pants and brown boots.

"Quattro." My brother said as Quattro gave us a smirk which made me hide behind Shark. Quattro was a duelist who Shark and I dueled at the National Duel Championship a year ago. I was the first one to lose to him in the semis and the rest is history.

"Oh Ryan, you can come out of hiding." He told me in a sadistic voice.

"I don't like you, Ivy." I told him in response which made Quattro fume.

"It's Quattro you darn Mermaid Boy! How many times do I have to tell you it's Quattro!" he yelled at me.

"Really, then why does it on your profile have the letters I and V on it?" I asked him as he just growled at me.

"Get on with it Quattro, what's with the duel card?" Shark asked ignoring our little quarrel.

"I was thinking you could use it for the World Duel Carnival." Quattro said as I saw Shark smirked.

"Sorry but I'm not participating in the Carnival." Shark said.

"Of course you aren't." Quattro said to Shark. "I know you won't be participating in the Carnival after what happened last year at the finals of the National Duel Tournament. You got disqualified after spying on your opponent's deck. You do know who your opponent was don't you? The one who defeated your brother in the semi finals." He said as we both remembered.

"Yeah, so?" Shark asked Quattro.

"So there's more to your spying then just wanting to win." He said as we both gasped wondering how he found out. A few weeks after the fiery accident Rio and I were caught in Shark and I decided to enter the duel tournament and get a win for her. I remember the time I spent with my brother before his incident.

Flashback Normal POV

"Shark?" Ryan asked as he entered the room Shark was in.

"Hey Ryan." Shark said smiling at his brothers appearance.

"You nervous?" Ryan asked sitting next to him.

"Yes." Shark responded "I'm going up the Asia Duelist Champion and I don't even know if I'm going to win and more importantly win for Rio." Ryan just smiled and put a hand on his brothers shoulder.

"Don't worry Shark, I'm sure you're going to win. Just remember to go out there and have fun that's what you always told me." Ryan told him as Shark just smiled as Shark put his hand into a fist as aimed it at Ryan as he caught it.

"Thanks Ry, now hurry up and get back to your seat." Shark said as Ryan got up and walked out. As Ryan walked out the door to the room right next to Shark's opened as he saw Quattro come out as he gave Ryan a grin and walked away.

End of Flashback Ryan's POV

After that Shark was caught on camera looking at Quattro's deck and got disqualified and the championship went to Quattro.

"It must have been hard to come such a long way to duel for your sister to then get disqualified." Quattro said continuing to mock Shark. "Why it's almost as if my deck was left behind by accident. After all how can you not resist my inconvenience." He said as I finally put it together. Quattro left his deck behind in the same room Shark was in hoping he would look at it and get disqualified, and he did. "Ever since then you and your brother had a falling out while I have gone to win trophy after trophy and you two becoming two big losers."

"That's not true!" I said stepping out from behind my brother.

"Shark and I have become closer than you think. Yes we did have a fall out but that was only temporarily as we got back and won duel after duel together."

"If you think you're brothers a winner, then let him prove it at the Duel Carnival." Said Quattro as he pulled out a hear piece and tossing it over to my brother as he caught it. "Until then boys." He said as he walked off laughing. For the first time in my life I felt something I haven't felt before, hatred. Hatred for Quattro for what he did to my brother and for the effects it had on us.

Normal POV

Quattro entered his hotel room where a small child with a mask on watching multiple cartoons.

"Reginald will enter the World Duel Carnival as promised." Quattro said to the masked child.

"Excellent," the child said "everything is going as planned." He said as he began to laugh maniacally.

"But there may be a problem," Quattro said, "His brother Ryan Oliver-Kastle is also entering the World Duel Carnival as well." He said.

"Don't worry, Quattro he is part of my plan as well." He said which earned a questionable look from the maroon and golden haired boy. "All will come in good time." The child said as he continued to laugh as Quattro grinned.

"Well as long as your plan keeps Ryan in check I will have no problem putting Shark through the ringer again." He said as he began to laugh along with the child.

Ryan's POV

"Hey Ryan, I'm going to order a pizza, want any toppings?" Shark asked me as I walked to my room after getting home.

"Whatever." I said plainly as I walked into my room and placed my deck on my table and looked at it to get ready for the Duel Carnival tomorrow.

"Ryan, you didn't even tell Shark what toppings you want." I heard Dine's voice as I looked to see her next to me.

"So what?" I asked her "It's not like you're going to eat with us." I said as I then stopped to think what I just said and looked at her. "Sorry Dine, I didn't mean it, I'm just upset." I told her as she just smiled.

"That's okay Ryan," She said, "I know what you and you're brother are going through. But you can't let a guy like Quattro get to you like that otherwise you'll never win you're win your duels at the carnival." I smiled, I knew she was right. What ever happened in the past happened and there was nothing I could do to change it.

"Thanks Dine." I said as I quickly ran out of my and into the kitchen.

Next Day

Today was the day of the World Duel Carnival inside Heartland City. There was a parade going on but Shark and I ignored that as we waited for Mr. Heartland himself appear to explain the rules. As he appeared he explained that the entire City is the playfield, the preliminaries run for the next three days and who ever had five heart pieces total by day three will enter the knock out round. As the hologram disappeared Shark and I looked at each other and shook hands.

"Good luck Shark." I told him as he smiled.

"You too bro." he told me. "Just remember to meet me here at 5:00 alright?" he asked as I nodded. "Oh and one more thing, if you see Quattro don't engage him, call me first okay." He said as I nodded again as we took our spate ways waiting for our first duel.
