Cards, cards! CARDS! CARDS! That was all I could think about! A completely new Yu-Gi-Oh! Series was starting and, as usual, there was a whole new world of cards to buy and explore!
My name is Alexandra Archer, I am a American/Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! addict and I have probably one of the most expansive card collections of all people I know. Even though my father is American by birth and I was also born there, I lived 7 out of my 11 years in Japan and most cards are original OCG formats.
My parents have stable, well paying jobs, I have a lot of allowance to spend and my grades are good enough for me to skip a class any time. That gives me a lot of free time to indulge my hobby of the Yu-Gi-Oh! game and built decks out of the numerous cards I collected over the years. I am especially proud of my collection of very rare cards like Egytian-God cards, promo cards and ace-cards.
I built probably more Decks with those cards than any sane player would, I have I think over 14 to 20 copies of any card I have just to built Decks with them. In most Decks past 5Ds you will probably find Ultimaya Tzolkin, with the signer and duel dragon cards from the Anime and Manga respectively.
Just as I was going to my room to unpack the, perhaps, 20 boxes full of different Booster Packs I felt a strange tug on my navel. This sounds horribly like Harry Potter I noted, and I heard a strange sound too and was for a moment worried this was some kind of intruder, but then light errupted around me and I was forced to shut my eyes.
When I woke up I found myself in a void, surrounded by card decks with the backing of Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards. "Is that her?" I heard a faint voice and turned around, but there were only more decks.
"Yeah, the fourth." Spoke another voice and I realized that moment that there were many more but I couldn't see them at all.
"Is she gonna do it?" Asked a third voice and I grew concerned, what were they talking about?
"Xyz, Synchro, Fusion, they all weren't enough, can she do it? Do it with all four styles?" Asked a fourth voice and by now I was getting really nervous, what was the meaning of all this?
Suddenly my left arm was jerked upward and the cards suddenly flowed into a glowing shape there until there were none left. "Be our knight, young duelist, you may be the only thing to unite the broken before you." Spoke the first voice before I found myself catapulted away again, losing consciousness.
The next waking up I wasn't standing/floating but laying in a bed. I opened my eyes in great confusion, where was I? I was in a colorful if plain looking bedroom. A nightstand was next to the fluffy bed I woke up in and a large window opened to my side. "I thought we drew a line at human strays! And now you find a girl and bring her home too? We already have problems with Sora!" Exclaimed a voice and I wondered what was going on?
"But she was so cute and lay all alone in the park." Argued a older sounding, female voice. The first sounded like a boy, a bit older than me. I set up and looked around, blue, plain walls, a nightstand and a working desk under the window.
"Well I don't mind another person, could be interesting." Sounded the voice of a even younger, male around my age. I looked around and found something surprising: A Arc-V style Duel Disk. It was a bright yellow color with a forward, blue trim facing the field. I picked it up in interest, ignoring that I was currently talked about by what I had the strong feeling wasn't any unimportant, random people.
While I was looking through the tablet like device I come to one conclusion. "It is like Tag Force Special menu." I whispered in confusion but soon found my Deck lists which were all orderly. And I had them so where were my cards? In Hammerspace like in the video games? I set the default Deck to my favorite: My Dragons Den Deck.
I strapped my new Duel Disk, how cool that is to say, to my arm and went to the door until I noticed a mirror. And for the first time I found myself realize that this wasn't just colorful, this was Anime. I looked in the mirror and was rewarded with a Anime-esque girl. She had shoulder-length, blonde hair with a small green tuft on top, blue big eyes and I wore a plain white dress.
"I wouldn't complain about something like the Tag Force Outfit." I muttered to myself but opened the door and looked out, only to be nearly overrun by a blue blur. I shook my head, dizziness fading slightly as I looked down. I found a young boy with light blue hair rubbing his nose. He wore a military looking version of the Obelisk Blue outfit from Yugioh GX and his hair was in a spiky version of Leo's hairstyle from Yugioh 5Ds.
"Ow, who was that now?" Asked the boy, looking up. His green eyes were all I needed to know that there was something wrong, his thick outlines were even from this character perspective very clear to see for me. Alright, that was suspicious. "Ah your that girl Yoko-san found." He stated with a big grin, if he was a antagonist, even if only a small one, then he was playing nice like that Barian character.
"Uh, who?" I asked, playing dumb since there was only one Yoko in Arc-V, which was the mother of Yuya, the main character. Oh wait, she had a penchant to pick up strays, because of that they had so many cats and dogs. Did she think I run away from home? And why did I analyze this so calmly?
I was slowly freaking out about this and the boy seemed to notice. "Hey calm down, I am Sora, Yoko-san found you in the park so come on, she is down in the kitchen but I must go now, toilet and all that." Said Sora before running of but I frowned, toilet? Probably more like "Make a Report to my Boss" but I decided to play dumb, it was perhaps just my genre savvyness from the previous four series since you met some of the bad characters earlier than others and should be wary of the suspicious ones.
I continued down the corridor in the direction Sora showed me and down a flight of stairs until I come into another corridor. I walked along until I found what looked like the dinning room and I saw a Anime typical scene. Sakaki Yuya, the protagonist of Arc-V, who had been consciously designed so his hair resembled a tomato since it was green on top and red on the sides, even with a ahoge, was arguing with his mom.
His mom was this tall, blonde woman that looked a lot younger than she should be, a former biker gang boss and no one was sure how the hell she got with a black haired guy a red and green haired kid. "But what if she is a criminal that escaped prison?" Asked Yuya in a attempt to throw me out despite his mother having, most likely, a blackbelt in Car-Fu. Or Bike-Fu, I am not sure.
"Uh, I am eleven, I could kill someone without getting stuck in prison." I interjected, helpfully in a Anime way. Rule 1 in Anime: Point out disturbing details as if you talk about the weather, it works.
Both turned around to me in surprise and before I knew what was going to happen I found myself hugged by Sakaki Yoko with a cry of "Kawaii!" ringing in my ears. So, this is how any kid under a certain age feels if the cute addict meets them. Great.
"Mom, could you stop acting like everything you find on the street or in the park is automatically homeless? She doesn't even need to be that." Complained Yuya again and I wondered if that was his genuine opinion about taking in another kid since Sora wasn't Yuya's brother for sure.
"Uh, are you arguing whether I should stay or not?" I asked, trying to sound confused because the fact that I was basically already aware of all this considering I could imagine what Yuya thought about this and he had a point after all, if she let someone like Sora come here then she was a bit dense.
"Yes, I found you today in the park dear. You collapsed there." Explained Yoko and Yuya sighed in resignation of this. "How about we introduce ourselves? I am Sakaki Yoko, and this is my son Yuya." She introduced them and I found myself suddenly on the table. When did she move me to this position? Oh wait, Anime physics defy physics.
Cue Rex Goodwyn jumping on his winged D-Wheel all the way to New Domino City from the Daedalus Bridge. Or Naruto standing straight against a wall, with his feet to the wall, 200 meters above the ground.
"Uh, I am Alexandra Archer. Sorry if I caused inconvenience." I answered quickly, slightly ashamed that I had been taken in right away by a stranger from another world. Why I didn't know but I had the feeling keeping around Yuya would be more trouble than it was cool. And being a main-character would be cool. I would be like Jaden, Yugi, Yusei, hell, even YUMA who was a idiot at the start!
I vowed to look into Yuya's Deck and also make a Arc-V Deck for him, I should still have all those packs stored as well, not sorted into a Deck yet.
"Oh don't worry, you can stay as long as you want." Assured Yoko me and I found myself a bit worried, it was never a good idea to stay around Main Characters, much less live with them if you are aware of the plots so far. And with plot I mean that everything looks nice and tidy until shit hits the fan with everything going downhill from there on.
"No no, I can't a-" I was cut short by Yoko coming into my face suddenly and startled me.
"You were all alone in the park, so where are your parents then? And why didn't you have a ID, money or anything else other than your Duel Disk with you?" Asked Yoko and I felt myself turn into a intimidated Chibi at that point. Great, I had invoked a mama bear, or a mama dragon. I could imagine her going up against every mayor antagonist of the previous five series just with her motorbike. And win.
"I don't know bu-" I tried but she silenced me with another glare that could kill Exodia, Slifer, Obelisk and Ra all at the same time. Shit.
"No buts young lady, you stay with us, understood?" Demanded Yoko and I gave a meek nod at that, honestly, I never found her that intimidating on TV but now I am a Anime Character, this must be like Sword Art Online, just with cards, and no swords.
"Good. Well Yuya, now we have a new guest! I will prepare dinner now, you must be starving!" Shouted Yoko before leaving for the kitchen.
"Is she always like this?" I asked after a second or so while turning to Yuya.
"You have no idea. Anyway, seems you are stuck with us for the moment. So, where are you from?" Asked Yuya, resigning to have another 'stray' with them.
"Born and where my parenthouse should be?" I asked jokingly but he nodded and I sighed. "I was born in the states, New York." I told him and he blinked but I smiled. "My dad is American and my mom Japanese. I grew up in America until I was four years old but then my dad got convinced to take a job at my grandparents company here in Japan and we moved here. Since seven years ago I grew up here in Japan because of that." I explained to him with a shrug.
"Ah, so where do you live now?" Asked Yuya and I wondered what I should tell him, the truth? Or a lie?
I decided on a medium between them. "Tokyo, but I have no idea how I landed here. What is the name of the city I am in anyway?" I asked, better pretend I had no idea than to say I knew exactly that this was the conveniently named Maiami City that is often confused with Miami where we went last vacation.
"Maiami City, so you don't know how you come here?" Asked Yuya curiously and I couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Not really, I had just bought a whole bunch of new Booster Packs in a shop and come home when I suddenly felt that strange sensation, the next thing I know is that I am here." I explained, leaving out for now those strange voices I heard between those two events.
"I see, but there were no Booster Packs with you." Asked Yuya confused and I just couldn't help but smack myself for that.
"Well, I don't know how but I never had a Duel Disk and my entire collection of cards was when I woke up stored in here, even with a function that I could assign decks." I explained and he blinked before I opened the menu and showed him my Deck list. "Here, that is the Deck editor, let me guess normal Duel Disks don't have that?" I asked, giving it to him while he looked at the miniature depictions of the cards on the screen.
"Dragons?" Yup, that was his question.
"I like Dragons, they are among the most straightforward types and I just love Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon." I explained as he scrowled through my Deck in interest.
"Wait, what are Synchro Monster? And what is up with those black cards?" Asked Yuya and I blinked until I remembered that the guy hadn't seen much other than straightforward duels so far, at least from what I knew.
"That is a bit complicated." I said and he looked up. "Synchro monster, like Fusion monster, are stored in the Extra Deck. You summon them with the help of a Tuner monster, a specific kind of monster, and a number of other monsters. The requirement is that the monsters must have a combined level equal to the monster you want to summon.
Xyz monster on the other hand can be summoned just by using any two monsters with the same level, equal to the Rank of the monster you want to summon." I explained to him and he looked outright fascinated by that and a idea struck me. "How about I give you a Xyz monster or two? It won't need you to change your Deck much but those are pretty good ones." I explained before taking the Duel Disk.
Navigating through the menu I soon found what I wanted to give him, and it's Anime effects were still there. Then I added another card to it and pressed "Eject" for one of each card. "Here, take those." I told him, giving him the cards.
The cards I gave him were Number 32: Shark Drake and Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss. "Huh? What does that "C" mean?" Asked Yuma and I smirked at that.
"Chaos, "Number C" monsters are a sub-type of "Number" monsters like Shark Drake, and generally they are the evolved form. If I am not mistaken I am the only person who possesses any Numbers, excluding you now, therefore those monster are pretty much beat-sticks for you." I explained to him and Yuma's jaw fell down at that, they weren't unique though.
"You give me such a powerful monster? But why?" Asked Yuma shocked and I giggled.
"Well, don't tell anyone, but they are from another world." I explained to him and at his incredulous look I smirked. "The Numbers originated from the "Astral World", a high-energy world where beings of energy reside and the dead go to while the inhabitants that die will be reborn in our world as humans.
The "Numbers" were created from the lost memories of a Astral Worlder and I got my hands on most of them, not all 99 original 'Numbers' but most of them." I explained, leaving out the fact that they weren't unique in my world but most likely around here.
"Are you giving Yuma Xyz monster?" Asked Sora when he stepped into the room with a frown on his face.
"Uh, yeah? It's a bit of a 'sorry I will now eat part of your food too' gift if you want to put it that way. Why do you ask?" I answered, wondering what was the deal with Sora now.
"I don't like Xyz users, and how do you come to that conclusion anyway with the different dimension?" Asked Sora suspiciously, looking at me with narrowed eyes and now I was getting irritated by his nagging.
"I met the Astral Worlder who gave me the first and I gathered the others, that is all." I lied there, it was Yuma who did gather the Numbers, not me. But he didn't need to know about that.
"Hmpf, but why give him weak Xyz monster? Fusion monster are much better." Asked Sora and I wondered what was his problem, was he one of those die hard lovers of the oldest format?
"I don't know Yuya-san's Deck, while I possess a lot of Fusion monsters he would have to restructure his Deck, the same for Synchro monsters. Giving him Xyz monster was the most effective due to the fact that you only need monster with the same Level as their rank. And Yuya-san surely has a number of Level 4 monster, right?" I answered and Sora blinked at that, apparently he never thought of it that way.
"Still, those monsters don't fit him, Xyz is a inferior summoning style. And he surely would find some way to summon them." Tried Sora to argue and I sighed, he didn't get it, did he?
"Sora-san, what I mean isn't to say either of them is superior, but Xyz is the easiest of the three summoning styles to conduct. It doesn't need any special cards to be on the field or the hand for it. You can just pluck them into any Deck that can support at least two monsters of a specific Level. Rank 4 Xyz monster are also the easiest since most people have a Deck with dozens of Level four monster." I tried to explain to him my reasoning since he was so stubborn.
"Whatever, I bet those monsters won't be useful to him at all." Dismissed Sora but stopped at my glare which I am pretty proud of, I am a eleven year old but I have this strange ability to make people stop with their arrogance with what many called a 20k megawatt glare.
"No card is useless, got that? Just because you hate Xyz monster is no reason to dismiss them as useless, do you get that?" I asked darkly and he gulped, nodding. The next moment I went the Anime way: All smiles for everyone. "Good, then I don't need to see how good you do against my black belt in Karate." I told him, subtly hinting at a lot of pain. For him.
What? I like card-games but do I need to be a helpless kid for it? No, I don't. Look at those hulking guys in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Anime, like Rafael, that guy was a giant! And think of that Beauregard guy! He was a giant of a man at the same age as Jaden! I know he is just designed that way but do I need to neglect my Karate training just because I like that game? No, that would be stupid.
"Well, uh... how do you use Xyz Monster?" Asked Yuya suddenly, causing me to stumble slightly at that, what were they teaching at that school? Just basic dueling?
I sighed and stood up. "How about I explain it with a duel Yuya-san? I have just the right deck for the job." I offered while adjusting the Duel Disk to my arm and changing the setting to a different Deck. Galaxy Wide.
"Hell yeah! I am always up for a duel!" Agreed Yuya and I smiled but then something happened that I should have predicted. The growling could have been that of a wolf, with a very good megaphone, a very loud megaphone. But from the feeling I got I knew I fell victim to the 'Hungry Anime Character' gag.
"Uh, after dinner I think." I added, falling back into my seat, suddenly feeling weak from hunger. Cursed be you hunger.
30 minutes later we finally stood on a clearing since Yuya said that his school was closed today and Yoko, on mentioning this, instantly and without my consent registered me there.
"Okay, standard rules right?" I asked, after getting the hang of activating the Duel function of this multi-purpose device.
"Yeah, 4000 Life Points and all that." Agreed Yuya as he grinned wider than Jaden did, and that guy grinned a lot before season three.
"Duel!" We called out aloud, I felt a thrill of excitement, seeing as I was actually doing a Anime Duel with holograms!
XXXXXoooXXXXX
Yuya vs Alex
4000 LP / 4000 LP
XXXXXoooXXXXX
"I will begin with my turn!" Announced Yuya and I was actually okay with that, I favored the second turn since that rule change a while ago.
XXXXXoooXXXXX
Yuya: 4000 LP, 5 cards
Turn 1
XXXXXoooXXXXX
"I summon Performapal Hip Hippo!" Announced Yuya and summoned the pink hippo with the tophat. (Performapal Hip Hippo, Earth/Beast, Level 3, 800 Atk.) "I set one card face-down and end my turn." Explained Yuya with that 2000 watt grin he had, it was still not on par with Jadens 50k megawatt grin though.
"Alright, my turn. Draw!" I announced as I begun my first turn.
XXXXXoooXXXXX
Alex: 4000 LP, 6 cards
Turn 2
XXXXXoooXXXXX
I looked at my hand and blinked, that was fast. "I summon Galaxy Dragon in Attack Mode!" I declared and before me appeared a dark dragon with luminous, blue wings. (Galaxy Dragon, Light/Dragon, Level 4, 2000 Atk.) "Further, by discarding 1 Light Monster I can Special Summon Galaxy Soldier!" I declared and before me appeared a machine in white and gold with a visible, light blue core. (Galaxy Soldier, Light/Machine, Level 5, 0 Def.)
"Next I sacrifice those two monsters to Special Summon a even greater beast of our galaxy!" I shouted, deciding that I would go theatrical this time around. The two monsters vanished to form a portal of light before me and I begun to recite the chant of Kite Tenjo.
"The galaxy that lurks in the darkness. Become the light of hope and my very servant. The embodiment of light, now descend! Appear now, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!" I chanted before from the gate a pillar of light appeared. From it come my monster, a dragon made of turquoise energy with some light armor on it that only made him more majestic. (Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, Light/Dragon, Level 8, 3000 Atk.)
"WHA! That is a giant monster right in the first move!" Exclaimed Yuya shocked at pulling this out of my hat right from the beginning of the duel.
"Sorry Yuya-san, but that is the strategy of a "Photon" Deck like this one. Monster with high Attack Points all over it so I can summon my Photon Dragon who can be Special Summoned by sacrificing 2 monster with over 2000 Attack Points." I explained to him and Yuya blinked as he heard that.
"Let's go! I attack Performapal Hip Hippo with my Photon Dragon! Photon Stream of Destruction!" I declared and my dragon shot the energy-beam at the hippo of my opponent.
"I activate the Trap Card Wall of Disruption! Your monster loses 800 Attack Points for each monster on your field!" Declared Yuya loudly and I blinked as my Dragon was affected. (Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon: 3000 → 2200 Atk.) It was still a bit overwhelming force for the poor hippo.
XXXXXoooXXXXX
Yuya: 4000 → 2600 Atk (-1400 Damage)
XXXXXoooXXXXX
"Well, I end my turn. And since your card was a normal trap-card my dragon regains his strength." I declared and my dragon roared in agreement (Photon Dragon: 2200 → 3000 Atk.)
"Alright, my turn!" Announced Yuya and drew a card.
XXXXXoooXXXXX
Yuya: 2600 LP, 4 cards
Turn 3
XXXXXoooXXXXX
"Ladies and Gentleman!" Shouted Yuma suddenly and a spotlight appeared above him while the light dimmed. How the hell did he do that? "It is time to bring out the true star of this show!" Announced Yuya before taking two cards from his hand. "I set the scale 1 Stargazer Magician with my scale 8 Timegazer Magician to set up the Pendulum Scale!" Announced Yuya as his two monsters raised in the pillars behind him.
"With this I can Pendulum Summon monster with levels ranging from two to seven! Swing Pendulum of the heart and bring out my monster friend!" Announced Yuya as his monster come forth from a portal. "Appear! Wondrous and beautiful dichromatic eyes! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Announced Yuya before his monster landed in front of him.
The dragon was large and red. It had a pair of horns and stood on the hindlegs while it had different colored eyes. (Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Dark/Dragon/Pendulum, Level 7, 2500 Atk.) "Next I activate the Spell Card Magical Star Illusion! If I control a Stargazer Magician, all monster gain 100 attack points multiplied by the level of all monsters on the field." Explained Yuya and his magician begun to turn his staff, causing a pentagram to appear and all monsters, including her own, to glow.
XXXXXoooXXXXX
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: 2500 → 4000 Atk
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon: 3000 → 4500 Atk
XXXXXoooXXXXX
I gave him a blank look while he starred at the outcome which wasn't what he expected. "Yuya-san, you know that this card affects all monsters, including my own?" I asked him with a slight deadpan to this, he was really a bit goofing around, wasn't he?
"Well, damn. I end my turn I guess." He said slightly embarassed and I sighed, I forgot how goofy he was at times in the Anime, now I met him in person but he wasn't as bad as Yuma from Zexal, this guy here had at least some clear skill to him. (Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon: 4500 → 3000 Atk.) (Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: 4000 → 2500 Atk.)
"My turn, Draw!" I declared and drew another card to my hand.
XXXXXoooXXXXX
Alex: 4000 LP, 3 cards
Turn 4
XXXXXoooXXXXX
"If I control a "Galaxy" or "Photon" monster I can Normal Summon Galaxy Knight in Attack Position without a tribute, but he loses 1000 Attack Points. Further I can Special Summon a Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from my Graveyard. Just so happens that I discarded a different one last turn." I explained, summoning the monster in Defense Position. (Galaxy Knight, Light/Warrior, Level 8, 2800 → 1800 Atk.) (Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon (2), Light/Dragon, Level 8, 2500 Def.)
"Is she seriously going to summon a Rank 8 monster?" Asked Sora surprised at seeing this, it was a rather massive built up he had to admit.
"I now start the lesson Yuya-san, by overlaying my Level 8 Galaxy Knight and the Level 8 Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon Summoned by his effect, I built the Overlay Network!" I declared as the two monsters changed into golden lights that shot into a galaxy-like portal which announced the Number I was to summon. "Roar throughout the entire universe. Revive, from the source of all galaxies, that flows from far back in time! Manifest yourself, and lead me to victory! Numbers 107! Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon!" I chanted before a large, red 107 appeared before the portal which then exploded, revealing my monster.
While Photon dragon was a blue energy being with some black armor bits, this monster was different. Clad completely in it's black armor Tachyon Dragon had only a handful of spots where it's red energy body could be seen and it's number was on the right side of it's head. (Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon, Light/Dragon/Xyz, Rank 8, 3000 Atk.)
Now two huge dragons stood against Yuya who looked amazed at the size of them. "Yuya-san, remember: This is a monster of a different summoning requirement than the cards I gave you. Shark Drake needs three Level 4 monster instead of two Level 8 monster and Shark Drake Veiss can be Xyz evolved by overlaying it's baseform so it is rather easy. But let me show you a different evolution for now." I told him, confusing both him and Sora.
"I activate the Spell Card Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force!" I announced, holding up the evolution card. "This card allows me to overlay a Rank 5 or higher Xyz monster to summon a "CXyz" or "Number C" monster that is 1 rank higher than the initial monster!" I explained as my Tachyon Dragon disappeared into the portal. "I overlay Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon to rebuilt the Overlay Network!" I announced while the portal glowed red.
"Pierce through the raging torrent of galaxies, and revive from the time before they ever existed! The draconic star from beyond eternity! Manifest before us, Chaos Numbers 107! Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon!" I chanted before the portal erupted into a explosion with the red glowing 107 appearing.
From the explosion come down my new dragon. He was more than twice the size of the initial monster, clad in golden armor with three heads in the same way as any of the "Ultimate" dragon monsters like Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon would. Golden energy comprised it's actual body and number could be seen on it's right chest plate. (Number C107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon, Light/Dragon/Xyz, Rank 9, 4500 Atk.)
Yuma's eyes grew at seeing this and I smiled, he hadn't expected me to use my already powerful dragon this way. "Yuya-san, this is the very embodiment of evolution, the ambition of the Barians and Astralians was the origin of the Numbers, now you see a "Number 10X" ranked up into it's chaos form. And sorry but I end it here!" I declared and Yuya braced himself for what was to come.
"I attack Odd-Eyes with my Photon Dragon! Go! Photon Stream of destruction!" I shouted and my dragon unleashed a beam of concentrated energy, destroying the dragon and causing damage immediately.
XXXXXoooXXXXX
Yuya: 2600 → 2100 LP (-500 Damage)
XXXXXoooXXXXX
"And now Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon! End the duel with Tripple Tachyon Burst!" I shouted as my second dragon unleashed a beam from it's three mouths which washed over Yuya who closed his eyes against the bright light of the hologram.
XXXXXoooXXXXX
Yuya: 2100 → 0 LP (-4500 Damage)
Duel End
Victory: Alex
XXXXXoooXXXXX
When the attack subsided and the holograms stopped we lowered our Duel Disks and I retrieved my cards from the field. I had thrashed a protagonist just now, on my own. Hell yeah! Take that Konami!
"Well that was surprising, I didn't think you could actually be entertaining with a Xyz Deck." Stated Sora as he come up to us and I gave him a "What the hell?" look for that comment.
"Seriously Sora-san, what do you have against Xyz monster or those using them? Their effects are limited sure, but most of them are overpowered as hell and I didn't even use one of their effects." I asked him, getting really annoyed that he was downgrading one of my favorite summoning methods. I mean, Xyz is easy as hell, you don't need to change your Deck much for them and you can have a beatstick in seconds in any Deck.
"Okay okay, calm down. What are you so overprotective of it anyway?" Asked Sora and I gave him a look that said "Are you stupid?" in big, neon letters.
"I like Xyz summoning, duh. I have in any Deck at least one or two Xyz monster just in case I need a easier to access beat-stick than Fusion, Ritual, Synchro or plain old Special Summon could give me at the time." I retorted and Sora backed off, I told him I have a black belt in Karate.
"Okay okay I stop with criticizing Xyz monster." Promised Sora while giving in to me and I nodded.
"Well, thanks for the demonstration Alex-chan! I bet I am gonna make even more smiles now!" Declared Yuya and I laughed in good humor to that, if he knew I had another 14 Shark Drake and 12 more Shark Drake Veiss, he wouldn't be that over enthusiastic.
"No problem Yuya-san, I just wonder why no one told you about this mechanic yet." I answered, and I was really confused considering he attends a dueling school.
"I can tell you, Leo Institute of Dueling restricts the use of those summons at schools unless someone has the cards already as in the case of you and me." Explained Sora and I blinked, that was seriously so?
"That is ridiculous, this is a childrens card-game!" I retorted and Sora sighed at that.
"Well, no way of helping it, the LID controls the production of Duel Monsters and they have a monopoly on most schools in the world." Explained Sora and I found myself wondering what this was, a fusion of Kaiba Corporation and Industrial Illusions? Led by some guy who had the same name as Leo from 5Ds?
"Whatever, I won't succumb to those guys if they come barging in on me." I responded to that, confident that I had a Deck for every way they could challenge me since they didn't have Pendulum Monster.
XXXXXoooXXXXX
That Night
XXXXXoooXXXXX
"So, let's see my new cards." I muttered to myself while I lay on my current bed, the Duel Disk before me while I lay on my stomach.
I opened the menu that listed my newest cards and I found myself looking at something very interesting. "Pendulum Monster, wow I got a lot of them." I muttered as I looked at all those cards, "Qli", "Performapal", "Yosenju", then there were cards like Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon and even Odd-Eyes Dragon and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. And I had multiple of them all.
I found myself instantly mesmerized before starting to work on new Decks, also making a Deck to counter any kind of Special Summon and Effect, just in case I found myself facing someone who had more than one method of summoning while I worked out other Decks too.
"Divine Qli, that will hurt whoever thinks he can challenge me." I concluded after three hours with the last Deck, smirking to myself since this made it a lot easier to make Decks. Upgrading my old recipes, making new ones, having them on my call at any time. That was what I expected in a Yu-Gi-Oh! game, not in real life as this was at the moment to me.
With that business done I placed the Duel Disk on my nightstand and rolled onto my Back again, sighing. I wondered what the next day, weeks, or heavens forbid, months would hold in store for me, were my parents even aware that I wasn't in our world anymore? Or was there a copy of me still home and I would kind of fuse with her when I returned? Would I return or would I no longer want to return at the end?
I sighed heavily, closing my eyes. It was three in the morning, I should go to bed I decided then and there and closed my eyes to find some rest for tomorrow, when I would be attending a dueling school for the first time. I laughed slightly, how strange that sounded to me but I was a bit giddy about it too. No matter what it would be, I would face the challenges tomorrow and in the future to reach my home again.

And here ends this first chapter for this fanfic.
The idea of a real world originating character come from Yugioh: Archaics Virtue which is a interesting fanfic. Also the rotating of Decks idea is from there.
Unlike in my "Signer of Xyz" Fanfic I won't implement a random drawing mechanic from a handy app though I will stay with Decks I create there and if you have a idea for a Deck for me to use for Alex, then put it in the comments. And if anyone complains about the claims to how many cards she has: Parents with a good monetary base, the parents won't complain because of good grades and she is obsessed with the TCG/OCG, she had plenty of opportunity for this.
A last part: Alex is a OC with no connection to anyone, I don't even know someone with the name Alexandra. And there is no connection to any real people. And yes, she is gonna be genre savvy as hell.
