Hello all and welcome to "YU-GI-OH!- Power of the Universe". In this fanfic, you be following the life of 16 year old Ray Johnson, a duelist who won his first pro tournament at 13 years old. Being labeled a prodigy at such an early age made Ray lose almost all passion for the game of Duel Monsters but the time has almost come for his skills to be reborn and strengthened. I'm looking for original characters and decks for various points of the story, and with that LET'S START THE SHOW! (I own nothing but my original characters and cards)

"C'MON RAY, PLEASE JUST ONE DUEL?"

"DAD, FOR THE LAST TIME NO!"

Ray's father, a large man, pleaded with his duel disk already activated. Ray sat at his desk with his feet up, deck still dormant in the drawer where it had been for a year now.

"BUT IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!"

"Fine dad, ONE DUEL! 4000 life points, standard rules, deal?"

"That'll work, let's begin" Ray's father said, heading out the front yard, without telling Ray, Mr. Johnson had set this up as an event that being streamed worldwide and was making thousands. Ray blew the dust from his duel disk and inserted his deck.

"Age before beauty" Mr. Johnson said drawing his first five cards and then a sixth. "And I'll start off big with Big Shield Gardna(100/2600) in defense mode, and one card facedown." A man holding a large shield appeared as did a brown backed card behind it.

"I always hated defensive players, and you're the best one." Ray said drawing his card "Pot Of Greed let's me draw twice, ok this won't last long I summon Queen's Knight(1500/1600) in attack mode, then Tribute to the Doomed, I'll discard one card to destroy your Gardna." A women in armor wielding a sword appeared on the field and bandages came from underground dragging the man with them.

"I see you've still got it son" Mr. Johnson said laughing

"I guess, now go Mystical Space Typhoon destroys your facedown, next I activate quick summon, so I can normal summon again though this monster can't attack, defend, or be sacrificed, come out King's Knight attack mode(1600/1400) and that means we'll be joined by Jack's Knight( 1900/1000)" A big, burly knight appeared next to the woman, and was then joined by a younger knight.

"Ugh, let me guess, Fusion sage?" Mr. Johnson said in disappointment

"You've guessed correctly fusion sage lets me bring one polymerization from my deck to my hand, and it's activate now, King's, Queen's and Jack's combine to form my best monster Arcana Knight Joker(3800/2500) and with the Divine Phoenix Blade his attack raises by 300(4100/2500)" The three knights combined to form a stern looking, heavily armored warrior whose sword was lit into flames. "Dueling is so boring, Joker finish this!" The Knight slashed his sword across Mr. Johnsons chest. "Happy b-day pops" Ray said walking away yawning while his father remained with a dumbstruck look on his face, then his eyes were replaced by money signs as he ran into the house to check his account.

"Ray Johnson" A shadowy figure said tapping his fingers on the wooden desk while viewing the one play duel over and over again. "You're father was far too weak to tap into your powers, I'll have to send one of my weaker minions to see what he really has, Doctor, handle this"

"Yes, milord" A man in doctors scrubs and a face mask said, the only visible part of the mans face were glowing green eyes. "This should feel great, the great Ray Johnson, medical bill, your soul HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" The man vanished as the figured watched the Knight Joker once more.

"Sire" A large man with a thick beard and long hair that covered his whole face, except glowing yellow eyes. "Have you not just sent Doctor to his death?"

"Exactly, but it will cause Ray's eyes to open a little and start regaining his talents"

"But sir, shouldn't we attack him while he is weak?" Suddenly the large man flew back into the stone wall. "My apologies"

"I like you Lumberjack but that mouth is a problem to me. NOW RAY JOHNSON LET US SEE WHAT YOU ARE MADE OF!"
