I had problems creating this story. I didn't get very far watching the show Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal. I brainstormed a story making a tournament where everyone competes, but that didn't sound very interesting. Being a fanfiction I have to start by letting everyone know the main character's in it. I hope this first chapter clears up a Zexal fanfiction to other Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction.

Yuma Tsukumo was having lunch outside. Today he didn't feel like playing against anyone, not to say he wouldn't lose, just wanted to chillax on such a beautiful day and enjoy his lunch. A tiny morsel of rice was stuck on Yuma's cheek. There was no Astral to make fun of him, no Tori, and no Tetsuo. Just a perfect day.

All that happiness ended the moment he showed up. Yuma didn't know much about him other than he liked Duel Monsters. Yuma saw him with a Duel Gazer but never saw him duel with his own deck. Yuma probably wouldn't mind him if he didn't ask Yuma to borrow his deck.

" Can I borrow your deck again?"

" No," Yuma said.

Yuma accidentally choked on his rice ball. Yuma put his hands over his throat trying to spit it out. Yuma couldn't do it. He needed help from the boy even do he didn't want it. The boy grabbed Yuma's stomach and pushed into his stomach. Yuma spat a giant chunk of not swallowed rice ball projectile out.

" Hey Yuma..." Ironically after saving Yuma's life the boy snatched his deck out of his deck box and dashed away. " Taking your deck. Bye."

Yuma cursed how crappy his day was going. What should have been a perfect day ended with Yuma choking and having his deck snatched. Astral was staring blankly at Yuma making a fool of himself.

" I don't believe you."

What is amiss about Shin Matsuda. He carried an empty deck box with him wherever he goes. Shin loves playing Duel Monsters but wasn't allowed to play it. At least he wasn't allowed to build his own deck until he turned thirteen. Shin was already thirteen years old, but his birthday ritual wasn't until midnight today.

Shin caught up to his opponent. Shin knew this man. He faced him once and he came back wanting to fight him again.

" Took you long enough," his opponent said bluntly.

" Sorry to keep you waiting. But I'll make it worth your while with an old classy dueling."

Shin: 4000

?: 4000

Shin and his opponent activated their Duel Gazers. They were witnessing what true Duel World animation was about. Shin saw a duel happening not so far away between a dragon and an orange ape. He glanced at the right and noticed a sparrow knight with a long saber slice through a Aztec statue; a fat kid playing the monster and a ten year old covering his eyes from the pixels.

" Rock-paper-scissors?" Shin asked.

" Rock-paper-scissor," his opponent replied.

Shin and his opponent tied first with rock. Shin and him tied next with paper. Shin won the third round when he used scissors and Shin used rock. Shin got to go first, he picked a card from the top of Yuma's deck and played it.

" I summon Goblindbergh in Attack Mode (1400/0)." A blue portal opened in the middle zone. A small orange plane whizzed out of the blue portal. Flying the plane was a green goblin wearing goggles and an oversized brown coat. " When Goblindbergh is Normal Summon I can special summon a monster level four or lower in my hand, defense position. I summon Rai Rider (1200/1400)."

Shin picked another monster from his hand and placed it sideways beside Goblindbergh. A blue portal opened in the right zone. A three headlight motorcycle accelerated from the blue portal. His face was masked by a black mask and blue helmet. Sticking out of his back was wild red hair.

" I set one card facedown and end my turn." A facedown card appeared in the middle behind Goblindbergh.

His opponent drew one card. " I Normal Summon Goblin Elite Attack Force (2200/1500)." A blue portal opened in the opponent's middle zone. Cladded in silver armor were goblins the exact same color as Goblindbergh. " Goblin Elite Attack Force get his Goblindbergh."

The Goblin Elite Attack Force charged towards Shin's monster. They almost impaled their spears through Goblindbergh's stomach. Shin activated a facedown. When the facedown was activated Rai Rider moved in front of Goblindbergh to defend him.

" I activate Guts Guard. When a monster on my side of the field is targeted for an attack I can change the target to another monster on my field and it cannot be destroyed by battle."

Goblin Elite Attack Force spears bounced off Rai Rider's motorcycle. The goblins returned to the opponents' side of the field and kneeled down. When Goblin monsters attacked their battle positions changed at the end of the damage step.

" Yuma doesn't have many strong monsters in his deck. Most of his cards rely on Xyz summons. I refuse to play any of his Xyz monsters. But I have the advantage."

" I set two cards facedown." Two facedown cards were revealed behind the opponent. " I end my turn."

Shin drew another card from his deck bringing his grand total to four. " I Normal Summon Gogogo Golem in Attack Mode (1800/800)." A blue portal appeared on the left side of Shin's field. A rock golem with one red eye jump out.

" Chain." His opponent flipped a card on his right side up. " Robbin' Goblin. Every time a monster on my field inflicts damage to you, you randomly lose a card in your hand."

" Then it's a good thing you don't have a monster strong enough to hurt me. Gogogo Golem attack Goblin Elite Attack Force!"

Gogogo Golem charged towards Goblin Elite Attack Force. His feet broke through the concrete ramming into Goblin Elite Attack Force. Shin could win. He had Blustering Winds, Ego Boost , and Mirror Mail.

" You walked into my trap. Trap activates, Final Attack Orders." Goblin Elite Attack Force stood up again. Shin trembled in fear. He walked into a trap. Gogogo punch Goblin Elite Attack Force, but the elite team jabbed their spears through Gogogo Golem's tiles and he exploded from the inside.

" The key to winning a duel is using cards that help our monsters flaws. And I perfectly executed my plan. Robbin' Goblin will slash a card."

Shin wasn't prepared for what happened next. A tiny green goblin appeared on his opponent's right shoulder. The goblin threw a knife towards Shin's hand. His knife ripped through Mirror Mail. Shin had two cards, two monsters both weaker than Goblin; Rai Raider switched to Attack Mode, and next turn his opponent would destroy them.

" I cannot lose this way. I need to Xyz summon. I'm sorry father, but using him is inconsequential. I must win this match."
