Chapter one: A sinister Warning

It was a quaint little day as we go to the town of Peach Creek, where we see three teens sitting in a classroom playing a card game. One teen was eighteen, and had black hair styled into three spikes, his eyes light blue, wearing a yellow sleeveless shirt with a purple collar and a red horizontal stripe on the front, in light blue jeans and and red sneakers. He was playing against a teen taller then him who was sixteen, with orange spiky hair, his eyes hazel green, wearing a green jacket, a red and white striped T-shirt and blue cargo pants with black sneakers. The third teen was seventeen and watching them from a separate chair keeping score on his tablet. He had light blonde hair covered by a black ski cap, his eyes a turquoise teal, he wore a long sleeve T-shirt, dark blue pants and blue sneakers.

The card game they were playing was none other than the notorious Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monster game. The field for the red headed teen had Despair From the Dark, Gorz the Emissary of Darkness in Attack mode, a face-down card in the spell & trap zone, with two cards in his hand. For the spiky haired teen's field had Sonic Chick in defense mode, and a face down card in his S&T Zone with three cards in his hand.

"The scores are not in your favor Eddy," The blonde hair teen smirked, as the shorter one glared at his friend. "You're at 500 LP while Ed is at 3000 LP. "

"Don't remind me Double D, just be amazed at how I turn this around." Eddy grins while Ed chuckles.

"My mighty dark horde is too much for your tiny birdie." Ed smiles goofily, while Eddy rolls his eyes.

"Hmph, I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guard in attack mode." Eddy played a card with a warrior elf in attack position [ATK: 1400/DEF: 1200]. "Next, I think I'll- "Suddenly the power went out causing the three teens to look around in shock. "What the-"

"Oh dear, seems the school's fuse box tripped a breaker." Double D stood up using his phone as a light.

"Sweet, let's sneak out." Eddy smirks.

"Eddy, we have to stay within school grounds until our science teacher excuses us from our detention punishment." Double D reminded his friend of their incarceration.

"You know the lab accident was Ed's fault." Eddy shot back in defense.

"Ed didn't shove his fermented cheese into the beaker causing it to take out the inside of the classroom." Double D started to walk out of the Classroom, turning on his phone's flashlight. "Stay put, I'll have the lights on in a few minutes." Eddy grins as he gets up grabbing his cards, causing his slow-witted friend to grab his arm.

"Double D said to stay put." Ed stated.

"No, he said we have to stay within school grounds and stay put. So I'm going to the snack machines next to the cafeteria and see if they'll crank out some free snacks." Eddy walked out, leaving Ed alone causing him to pull out a manga; Kingdom Hearts II (3)

"Four months and I'll have the fourth installment." Ed smiles happily, unaware of a looming shadow behind him. Meanwhile with our more astute teen, as we see him walking down to the boiler room cautiously. Double D soon came up to the fuse box to see a mace bashed into it.

"What on earth-" He stopped mid-sentence when a tentacle wrapped around his neck, sending a shock into his body causing him to go numb. We now go to the short teen kicking in the soda machine, in rage.

"Come on, the power is out!" Eddy starts to tip the machine onto its side, causing a few cans to fall out while one rolled away. The can was stopped by a hooded figure, causing Eddy to hold his hands up in shock. "I swear on my Ancestor's grave that the soda machine was on its side when I-" He looks closely at the figure. "Wait, you're not one of the teachers and you're not the Principal. Hey, if you're looking for Comic-con its over in Orchid Bay past this weird town called Townsvill-" Eddy was cut off by the figure tossing a green rectangular device in his face, causing him to groan in pain.

"Come to the Gym, if you ever want to see your friends again. Bring the device." The figure flexed their hands, causing a green vortex to appear behind them as they walked backwards into it. Eddy immediately ran down the halls as he made his way into the Gymnasium. He opened the doors to see, four torches; one on each of the corners of the basketball court. He walked over and saw his friends tied up hanging in mid-air, causing him to run over.

"Sockhead, lumpy!" Eddy ran over only to stop to see what was holding them up. It was a huge three-headed dog, each head was the same minus the third head which looked like a poodle head. "Oh shit!"

"I see you've met Cerberus." A voice spoke behind him, as he turned to see the hooded figure with their hood off. She had blonde hair held back by a black beret, her eyes a dark black.

"Let my friends go!" Eddy growled at the girl causing the Cerberus to growl at him. "Shut it you mutt!" Cerberus whimpered.

"Spineless dog. And Eddy you seem to not recognize me?" The girl questioned.

"Like I'd remember a crazy Kingdom Hearts cosplayer with a pet demon dog, whose holding my friends hostage!" Eddy growled.

"It's me, Mandy." She stated her name, only making him more confused. "I dueled you at a tournament two years ago. You won and I gave you a black eye?"

"Be more specific, I got a lot of black eyes." Eddy replied putting a finger on his chin.

"I was the one with no nose." Mandy deadpanned.

"Right!" Eddy gasped in realization. "So, what the hell do you want?"

"You have a lot of moxie, for someone who is standing in front of a Cerberus." Mandy glared at him. "What I issue is a rematch between us. Only the stakes will be higher. If you win, I will relinquish you're friends. But if I win your friends will be Cerberus' early dinner, and you will be my slave for eternity."

"...Fine.." Eddy growled as the device snapped onto his wrist causing a yellow bent-trapezoid to appear in front of it. "What the-" His cards flew out of his pocket and into his duel disk. "What's going on?" Eddy disappeared in a puff of smoke, reappearing on one side of the basketball court, between the two torches. Mandy appeared on the opposite side of the court, with a scythe-like Duel Disk.

"Let's duel." Mandy stated while Eddy was still confused.

Eddy: 8000
VS
Mandy: 8000

"Idiots before smarts." Mandy stared at him with an emotionless face, while Eddy pulls out his five cards looking at them. "What are you doing?"

"Waiting for you. You said it yourself, idiots before smarts." Eddy smirks as the demonic teen glared at him.

"Just go you idiot." Mandy growled in anger, while Eddy drew from his deck.

"I summon Flash Knight in Attack mode." Eddy played a card on his duel disk, causing a flash of light to blind him briefly to see a warrior in gold armor and cape wielding a sword [ATK: 1800/DEF: 600]. "Awesome!" Flash Knight grinned proudly at his master's praise. "I'll play a card face down ending my turn." A huge playing card appeared behind his knight.

"My move." Mandy drew from her deck. "First, I summon Dark Crusader in Attack Mode." A bone like warrior with a red mane and cape appeared on her side [ATK: 1600/DEF: 200]. "Next, I'll activate his special ability. By sending one card to the graveyard, his attack increases by 400." Mandy sends a card to the graveyard, causing a purple aura to surround him, causing him to roar loudly [ATK: 2000]. "I activate Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World's special ability. When it's sent to the graveyard from my hand, I can special summon from the grave." A dark archaic ring appeared in front of her as a demonic-like warrior wielding a spear flew out of it [ATK: 1600/DEF: 1300].

'Keep summoning monsters. Watch as my Magic Arm Shield takes out one monster. And when its my turn, Rocket Warrior will lead the attack.' Eddy grinned looking at his hand; Alligator Sword, Big Shield Gardna, Axe Raider, and Reinforcement of the Army.

"Oh, and do you think I'm stupid enough to attack with your face-down in the way? I activate Mystical Space Typhoon." Mandy places a card on the field causing a tornado to whip up surrounding Eddy's face down. It was sucked into the vortex revealing it to be Magic Arm Shield before it was destroyed. "Now, Crusader take out the poor excuse of a knight." The bone knight charged at Eddy's, slicing it across the chest before it exploded in a puff of smoke.

Eddy: 7800

Eddy's heart raced as he felt a trembling pain in his chest, clutching it tightly he braced himself for Mandy's next attack as the monster charged slashing Eddy across the chest.

Eddy: 6200

Eddy coughed as the cut vanished from his chest and clothes while his vision began to blur. 'What's going on? I feel like I'm about to hurl, yet it feels like a headache.' Eddy thought to himself, as Mandy noticed his condition.

"It seems your soul isn't strong to comprehend the power of the dark duel. You see the torches between you?" Mandy asked as the short duelist saw the torches between him were fading fast. "Those represent your soul. When you die in this duel, you'll be revived by an associate of mine. I just hope you're not as lazy as him. I end my turn with a card face down."

"I won't lose." Eddy's hands trembled as he drew from his deck. "I activate the spell Reinforcement of the Army, allowing me to add one Level Four or lower monster. I choose Tasuke Knight." A single card poked out of Eddy's deck as he grabbed the card, placing it in his hand. "Now, I summon Axe Raider in attack mode." A warrior in gold and red armor wielding an axe appeared [ATK: 1700/DEF: 1150]. "Now, I activate the spell Shield and Sword!" A spell card appeared in front of him with a knight holding a shield and sword, along with a blue and red orb with two arrows pointing at each other in the art. "This allows me to switch the defense and attack of our monster-"

"I activate the trap Dark Illusion, allowing me to negate and destroy your Spell." A darkness surrounded Eddy's card before it faded. "I'm not going to fall for the same trick you pulled at the tournament. My deck is the perfect poison to yours."

"I guess I'll attack with my Axe Raider then. Attack her Vanguard!" Eddy's monster charged at his opponent's monster slicing it in two.

Mandy: 7900

"Wow, 100 points. Is that all you can do?" Mandy looked at him unimpressed.

"I end my turn." Eddy hung his head in shame, as Mandy drew from her deck.

"I think it's time to slowly wound you. I summon Bowganion in Attack Mode." Mandy announced as a one eyed machine with two arms and a crossbow appeared at her feet [ATK: 1300/DEF: 1000]. "Next, I'll place a card face down and attack your Viking rip of." Her Dark Crusader charged at Axe Raider as he cleaved him in twain.

Eddy: 5900

Eddy coughed as he felt the pain from his monster's demise, as the flames started to dim out faster.

"Bowganion, show him that more pain is coming." Mandy's monster took aim and fired, hitting Eddy square in the shoulder sending him to the ground screaming in pain.

Eddy: 4600

Eddy coughs as his screaming seized, he gets back to his feet wobbling from the pain of this duel as Mandy ended her turn.

"My...my move.." Eddy drew from his deck, he looked at his cards his vision blurring. "I. .activate... I mean summon a monster face down." A vertical card appeared in front of him. "I then place a card face down ending my turn." Eddy groans as a face down card appears behind the set monster.

"My move." She drew from her deck, "Bowganion, time to see if he can kneel before his master like the mutt he is." Bowganion pointed his crossbow at Eddy, and fired shooting an arrow at his knee cap causing him to scream in pain from the hit as he got on his knees.

Eddy: 4000

"What the hell-" Eddy looked up in anger.

"Bowganion can deal 600 points of damage when my standby phase comes." Mandy's tone had a smug sound to it. "Eddy. I think its time you felt the pain of going against an Underworld Knight. I summon Broww, Huntsman of Dark World." A dark demonic huntsman with a bear-like right arm appeared. "I then activate Level Lifter, by sending a monster from my hand to the grave, I can change the levels of two monster I own to that level. I send Despair from the Dark to my grave, turning my Dark Crusader and Huntsman into level 8." The monsters glowed as their levels doubled in numbers. "I overlay my Dark Crusader and Broww to build the overlay network!" The two monsters turned into black lights as they were absorbed into a vortex opening up in the floor. "Prepare to face the demon who is the guardian of hell! No. 23! Lancelot, Dark Knight of the Underworld!" An armor and bone knight with a blue scarf and fencing sword appeared towering over the two duelist [ATK: 2000/DEF: 1500].

"I'm safe, as long as I have my-" Eddy stopped as he coughed up blood, as the knight's sword was stabbed through his chest out to his back.

Eddy: 2000

"My monster can attack you directly when it has overlay units. I'd attack but knowing your deck its either Gogogo Golem, or Big Shield Gardna." Mandy assessed as she ended her turn. "On my next turn, I'll finish you off."

'This is my chance! I have to make a comeback!' Eddy thought as he weakly drew from his deck.

"I flip summon Tasuke Knight!" Eddy exclaimed as his face down card flipped up, summoning a warrior in thick armor to his field [ATK: 1700/DEF: 100]. "That was your biggest mistake, you hesitated attacking me in case my monster was stronger, and I'm going to make you regret it. I summon Big Shield Gardna in Attack mode!" A man holding a huge shield appeared onto the field [ATK: 100/DEF: 2600]. "He won't be around for you to destroy! You showed me your number, now its time you see mine. I build the overlay network!" His monsters turned into two orange lights before flying into a black vortex, "And exceed summon the monster of hope! Number 39: Utopia!" A huge utopian-like city started to transform into a huge warrior with gold armor and white metal wings [ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000].

"So you're finally putting up a fight." Mandy crossed her arms.

"Utopia! Show her monster what a real warrior's power is with Rising Sun Slash!" Eddy exclaimed in anger, as his monster flew up and struck down the demonic Lancelot.

Mandy: 7400

"My, someone's still not damaging me hard enough." Mandy glared at him.

"I end my turn." Eddy stated as he stood back up struggling to stay standing. The one eyed shooter pointed as it fired, shooting Eddy in the other kneecap causing him to scream in pain.

Eddy: 1400

"I'm surprised you're still standing. You're physical wounds may heal from the duel effects, but your soul," The demonic girl snapped her fingers, causing Eddy's pain to intensify as his body's wounds started to reappear. Eddy had three arrows sticking out of his shoulder and knees, as a big gaping hole and cut mark was bored on his chest. "your soul is quite resilient to even let you stand from these hits." She snapped her fingers causing the wounds to disappear into darkness.

"What can I say...Double D always said I was stubborn as a mule." Eddy smirks weakly as Mandy just shakes her head.

"Very well. I think its time for a new hand. I activate the spell Card of Sanctity allowing us to draw until we have six cards." They each began to draw until they had six cards in their hands. "Now, I activate Rageki! Destroying your precious hope like a little ant." Lightning struck the Utopian monster as it exploded from the pain.

"I'm going to be honest with you. I enjoy shooting Bowganion's arrows at you then watching Lancelot pierce your chest. Want to know why? Its so I can see your pain. It doesn't matter if its a big monster or legendary. I enjoy seeing those I hate in pain." Mandy looked at him. "But then again, you're just a pathetic worm. And should be crushed swiftly, I activate Monster Reborn! To revive Number 39." Eddy's eyes widen in shocked as his monster appeared on her side of the field. "What better way to make you feel more pain then you're own monster ending you. Utopia end him." His utopia monster swung his blade high as Eddy shouted.

"I activate Tasuke Knight! When this card is in the graveyard I can summon it and end the battle." Eddy panted as his Knight caught the blade and pushed it back.

"Now more pain will come on your final turn." Mandy stated as she play a card face up with three burning women in the artwork. "I activate Tremendous Fire. This card allows me to inflict 1000 points of damage, while I take the backfire of 500." Eddy was suddenly engulfed in flames as his screams were muffled in the fire.

Eddy: 400

Mandy: 6900

"Thanks to my high life points I can take the hit with no pain. You on the other hand." Eddy fainted as one of his torches went out. In the darkest lowest abyss, we see the short teen screaming as his wounds made his pain worse in his unconscious state. He stopped screaming after a white light surrounded him, as his body began to heal from the dark damage. Eddy's eyes opened to the sight of girl floating above him smiling. She had black long hair, crimson red eyes, wearing a black shirt with a red collar, in a black skirt with red highlights, along with knee high black tennis shoes with red shoestrings.

"Who are you?" Eddy asked weakly.

"A friend. You must continue the fight, Eddy. If you lose here, a lot more people suffer than just you and your friends." The girl spoke with concern in her voice.

"I can't win-" Eddy stopped as the girl spoke up.

"Wrong! You have the way to win, you're pain is just blinding you to the way." The girl then turned into a ball of fire and went into Eddy's chest. "I'll keep the pain away long enough for you to take her out!"

As we go back into the real world, Mandy was walking over to Eddy only to be stopped by her duel disk speaking: Duel in Progress, return to your position.

"He's as good as dead. Might as well-" She stopped as both Eddy's lanterns bursted into red flames and hotter than before. "What the-"

"Don't start writing my obituary just yet!" Eddy stands up as a red fiery aura emerges from him, he looks at her his eyes a crimson red instead of his normal sapphire blue. "End your turn!"

"Might as well. You'll die on the next turn. I end my turn with three face downs." Three cards appeared on her field. "Make your pathetic attempt."

"My move!" Eddy drew from his deck. "I activate Mystic Wok! By activating this, I can tribute one monster and that monster's ATK or DEF gets added to my Life Points. I Tribute Tasuke to give me his ATK!"

Eddy: 2100

"Next, I activate my Trap, Graverobber!" Eddy exclaimed as a grinning goblin appeared on his field holding a card. "By using this I can use any Spell card in your graveyard at the cost of 2000 LP! I use Raigeki!" Graverobber grinned as he flipped the card to reveal Raigeki, sending two lightning bolts at the two monsters destroying them.

Eddy: 100

"You've set yourself up for failure." Mandy proclaimed. "On my-"

"There won't be a next turn! I activate Heavy Storm, sending all of your spell and trap cards to the grave!" Eddy roared as a huge storm surrounded them, as Mandy's cards into the storm. "Now, then. The field is set. I activate Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two cards." Eddy drew from his deck, the two cards he drew burning with intense power. "With Dragon Horn Hunter Blue Scale 3 and Sakyo, Swordmaster of the Far East Red Scale 10 I set the Pendulum Scale. Allowing me to summon monsters whose level are 4 to 9." Eddy places the two cards on the both ends of his duel disk, causing the word Pendulum to light the board in Rainbow Colors. The two warriors ascended into the air in a pillar of light, before stopping as a number appeared under each of them. A vortex began to open between the two pillars as a pendulum swung it open.

"What?!" Mandy exclaimed shocked.

"Now, time to end you with the most OPed summoning method in Dueling history! I Pendulum summon!" Four lights emerged from it landing on the field in an explosive manner. "From my Extra deck, I summon Flash Knight," the shining warrior returned [ATK: 1800] "And my hand, Jack's Knight," A knight in blue armor appeared wielding a shield and sword [ATK: 1900] "Next is Alligator Sword!" An anthro alligator sword wielding warrior [ATK: 1500] "And for the Ace of my deck. Red Eyes Black Dragon!" A black dragon with crimson red eyes emerges from the shadows with a fierce roar [ATK: 2400].

"You can't kill me. You're a hero." Mandy stated, as if that changed Eddy's mind.

"Wrong. I'm the Kaiba of this world. And now, get the hell out of my sight. Red Eyes lead the charge!" His monsters charged charged as they ended Mandy's life points.

Mandy: 0
VS
Eddy: WINNER!

Mandy's torches blew out in an instant, as the duel monsters faded along with Mandy's body into the darkness. Eddy glared at Cerberus holding his friends causing the demon dog to shiver in fear.

"Drop them now!" Eddy roared as Cerberus dropped his two friends on the ground, clawed a vortex open and jumped into it. Eddy smirks only to fall to the floor exhausted, as the red aura started to fade. Suddenly his eyes flash blue before they stayed red, as he got up from the floor.

"That was a trying duel." He spoke in a female voice. "Two guys. This body is already drained, even with my soul. I might need some help." He looked to the duel disk turning it on, and summoning Flash Knight.

"Alright, where's the battle?" The knight held out his sword in an offensive manner.

"No battle hotshot, just help me with these ropes." Eddy? commanded as the shining knight nodded and slashed the ropes.

"Is it wise to take over Master Eddy's body?" Flash asked, as the short teen picked up his astute friend.

"He collapsed and is sleeping in his mind. I'm merely helping him rest. Now pick up Ed." Eddy? began to walk off.

"Wait, can't I have Eddward to carry?" Flash asked as the possessed teen turned to him.

"No, because his body is already coping with what his soul went through." Eddy? replied in a serious tone.

"But Ed's filthy!" Flash whined as Eddy? rolled his eyes.

"I'm sure the great knight of Pendulum can handle it." The teen mocked as the knight looked a bit nervous.

"You're not still mad I said Pendulum Cards are better than regular cards?" Flash asked, as Eddy? started to walk out of the Gymnasium.

"I'm not going to lie, it is a factor. Plus, he cuddles in his sleep!" Eddy? exclaimed to Flash Knight who was sighing. As he picked up Ed, the monobrow teen nuzzled the monster card deeply.

"Tell me a story, Eddy." Ed muttered in his sleep.

"God damn it." Flash walked out of the Gymnasium.


And that's all, wait for a few weeks for the next post or July 4th.
