Chapter 1

"I summon Battle Warrior(ATK: 700) in attack mode!" Russell Figgins said, before the monster appeared on the field. He was a tall boy with short brown hair and a hippie goatee, he was dressed in a school uniform, and a necklace with a metal steer skull hanging on it. A dark blue Duel Disk was on his arm.

"Your playing that? Against my Lava Knight(ATK: 2500) you must be crazy!" his opponent, a boy from the same class, laughing. His monster looked like a human-shaped creature made of glowing lava wearing melting armor and carrying a sword.

"Not done yet, I also activate Bodyguard of The King," Russell replied, as a card showing a knight standing before a king with his sword raised against attacking monsters, "This card changes my Battle Warrior into Battle Captain(ATK: 2200)."

Russell's monster changed to a knight in regal armor riding a horse.

"And now I equip Lance of Justice, raising his attack points by 500," Russell said, before his monster charged and destroyed the Lava Knight .

Opponents LP: 0

Russell turned off his Duel Disk and received the rare card from his opponent, and turned to see Bren Tenkage, he was slightly shorter than Russell with long black hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a school uniform with a necklace with the yin yang symbol. A red Duel Disk was on his arm.

"Six wins in a row, amazing, wanna try and make it seven?" Bren asked, holding his Duel Disk up. "Or are you afraid I'll beat you again?"

"Your on Bren, Russell replied, activating his Duel Disk. "Prepare to lose, I summon Masaki The Legendary Swordsman(ATK:1100) in attack mode."

A samurai appeared on the field, drawing his sword and taking a battle stance.

"I draw, and summon Lion Cub(ATK:500) in attack mode," Bren said, as a cute lion appeared on the field. "And I place two cards face down and end my turn."

Several of the students snickered, while most of the girls cooed over the cute monster.

"That's not a lion, this is a lion," Russell said, in a thick Australian accent. "I sacrifice Masaki to summon Leogun(ATK: 1750) in attack mode, and I attack your Lion Cub!"

As the massive lion charged towards it's cute counterpart Bren smiled.

"I activate the trap Circus Ball," Bren said, the card showed an elephant balancing on a large ball. "It protects my monster, making your attack useless."

Russell watched as his monster leaped and landed on a large ball and tried to balance, only to fall off.

"I place one card face down and end my turn," Russell said, placing the card down.

"I summon Space Creature(ATK:750) in attack mode," Bren said, a green alien in a silver space suit and armed with a ray gun appeared on the field. "And I play the spell UFO destruction, by sending one monster on my side of the field to the graveyard I can destroy one of your monsters, and take the total number of attack points from your life points. So say goodbye to Lion Cub and Leogun."

Bren's monster vanished, just before a green beam of energy descended onto Leogun and destroyed it.

RF: 4000

"Why didn't your life points go down?" Bren asked.

"Because I activated my Mirror of Enchantment," Russell said, the card showed a girl standing in front of a large mirror. "It negated one of your cards effects, so I lost my monster, not my life points. Now I draw, and I play the card Mercenary contract, this allows me to summon a level 5 or higher Warrior monster from my hand. So I summon Machior the Swordknight(ATK:1800) and I place two cards face down, now attack!"

Russell's monster looked like a man dressed in leather armor and carrying a long sword. Bren watched as his monster was sliced and diced.

BT: 3250

"I summon Gear Soldier(ATK:200) in defense mode, and place three cards face down," Bren said, the monster looked like a rusted windup toy. "I activate Polish, and Assembly Line, raising my monsters attack points by 1000 and multiplying it by three."

Bren's monster became shiny, and was joined by two more like it.

"Big deal, so your little toys became shiny and new they still can't match up to my Swordknight," Russell said.

"They will when I activate Firing Squad," Bren said, laying the card down it showed a man standing before a firing squad. "They all fire, each attack takes away attack points from you monster."

The Soldiers took aim and fired, the first shot took Russell's monster down to 600 attack points, the second took it to zero, making him lose life points, the third destroyed it, making him lose more life points.

RF: 2400

"And now my monsters can attack you directly!" Bren said, just as the school bell rang. "Oh man we're gonna be late for class."

Both teens deactivated their Duel Disks and ran for the school.

"Lets go to Kame Shop later and sign up for the Tournament this weekend," Russell said.

"You read my mind," Bren replied.

After school the two rode the train to Domino and walked to the Kame Shop, the old man behind the counter smiled.

"Your both duelists here to sign up for the tournament huh?" he asked.

"Yes sir," both said, before signing their names.

"In my day we didn't have all these fancy smancy Duel Disks or Duel Monsters," he said, placing his hand under his chin. "We had sticks and rocks, and if we were lucky it rained and we got mud, but; we had to be careful about getting our clothes muddy because that was our school clothes for the week. We didn't have trains or buses, nope. It was fifteen miles uphill both ways in the snow, sleet, rain, typhoons, hurricanes and - hey! Where'd they go?"

Both had snuck out while he was talking about his childhood. Picking up the phone he dialed a number.

"Hello? Yugi? As I was saying we had to walk uphill both ways to school, 20 miles both ways and if we complained it was a spanking from the teacher and a spanking when we got home- uh, Yugi? Hello? He hung up," Grandpa Moto hung up the phone and looked down sadly. "I need friends."
