Chapter 1: The Thunder of Godai Ryu!

Godai, a 15 year old teenager, was left an only child shortly after his parent's death. And lived with his grandfather in New Domino City ever since. Nothing un-normal ever happened to him, well, exept for Duel Monsters...

The boy with messy black hair and navy blue eyes stood across the street from his opponent. Godai Ryu, aspiring "world's best duelist" but currently ranking world's worst, battled Murry Fess, world ranked #123'050th spot.

"I draw!" Godai said confidently, drawing the top card of his deck. His life points were down to 2000, while Murry's were untouched at 4000. Godai looked at the cards in his hand, 'A Rival Appears', 'Tune warrior', and 'Blade Knight'. On his field was Blizzard Warrior (Atk: 1400). But it wasn't enough to get past Murry's Medium of the Ice Barrier (Atk: 2200). Godai then got an idea, and summoned up Tune Warrior (Atk: 1600). Suddenly, a redish machine like humanoid formed in front of Godai, prepared to fight.

"Then, I'll tune Blizzard Warrior with Tune Warrior, to synchro summon Gaia Knight the Force of Earth!" Godai exclaimed, summoning his best card to the field. A knight on a violet horse formed as his two former monsters vanished. Gaia Knight the Force of Earth (Atk: 2600).

"Now I attack your Medium of the Ice Barrier with my Gaia knight!" he commanded and his monster charged with all it's might. Then Murry activated his face down card. It was a trap card, Dimensional Prison, a card that removes from play your opponent's attacking monster.

"OH NO!" Godai exclaimed as a fissure opened in the air, sucking his monster away.

"Oh... yes," Murry snickered. Godai ended his turn with nothing on his field.

It was Murry's turn, he drew a card, and placed a card face down, then attacked the defenceless Godai (Life: 2000) with his Medium of the Ice Barrier (Atk: 2200). Murry's monster pelted Godai with Ice shards, knocking him over, reducing his life to zero, and leaving slight frost on his shirt. Godai moaned as he sat up, another loss for him. Murry laughed,

" I win, again!" he chanted as he walked away. Godai stood up, then walked off.

The duelist's used a ranking system that was programmed into a main system known as Duel Lord. With the best being in first spot, and the lowest ranking being Godai. If spot 5 won against spot 4, then they would switch ranks. That was how it was. If a rank change was detected in their duel disk's, then it would be immediately updated to Duel Lord. But that was Godai's 5th try, and he wasn't getting any higher in rank. Godai then stretched,

"Just a wrong draw, next time, I'll win for sure!" Godai wiped of the loss and put on a smile. That was, however, the 6th time he said that phrase. He got to his apartment, where he and his grandpa stayed, and walked to the table, sitting down. He then stuffed a whole bun in his mouth, then ate another. He swallowed them and drank his soup, devouring every last noodle. His Grandpa watched, Godai always had a big appetite, especially after losing a duel. Godai then reached over and grabbed three more buns, then drank his tea. It was then that Godai stopped,

"Ahhhhhhh! Owwww! Ow, ow, ow!" he screeched, running around the room until finally drinking a load of water. He grandpa chuckled a bit,

"You alright, Godai?" Godai looked back at him with a sour look, then said,

"I'm going to my room now, nothing better to win a duel than food, cards, and... sleep..." he drawled, walking lazily to his room. His Grandpa shook his head.

Godai closed his door and turned around, it was then that he saw something that would change his life forever. A bright light came from the roof, it was white, and almost blinding. Out of it came a girl no older than he was. She had long wavy raven hair and chocolate brown eyes. She wore just a white, knee length dress. Godai was stunned, almost passing out at the sight. A girl was in his room, and not beating him up for something he did the other day.

She landed elegantly, then spoke,

"You're Godai, correct?" Godai didn't respond, just nodded like a bobble head.

"Good, then I seek your assistance. I am the Goddess of the Spirit Realm, and I need your help to re-unite the 8 Dragon's of the Elemental Barriers," she requested, as he watched blankly. She tilted her head and blinked, "Hello?" she asked again. Godai shook his head, then slapped on his grin,

"Alright! I'll help you! No matter what stands in my way!" he finally replied to her. She smiled, then held both her hands out,

"Then I'll give you this gift, please take it," she said politely. Godai looked down at it, Lightning Dragon (Lv 7 Synchro monster. Atk: 2500, Def: 2000.)

"This is the Dragon that guards the Barrier of Lightning. You must now find the other seven, Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, Light, Darkness, and Ice. But be fast, or your world may cease to exist," she explained further after he took her card. Godai smiled, challenging himself to do the impossible was his favorite hobby,

"Alright, find the dragons and become the best! I'll help you Princess!" he replied. She tilted her head again, confused at the name he gave her. She then nodded and smiled, and took off back through the tunnel of light, leaving Godai alone in his dark room. Godai wasn't used to this, normally he would have said something stupid and would have gotten wailed on. But nontheless, Godai rubbed his eyes and took one last look at the Lightning Dragon card he was given. To make sure it was still there. Then he crawled into bed and fell fast asleep.
