The Tournament of Fate
AN: Alright I always wanted to do this fanfiction, and let me lay some back story, first off my friend TitanWolf is gonna be the main character, as Russell Friggins. Also this story takes place 5 years after the main series, so GX isn't out and of course 5D's isn't going on. So enjoy the dueling with our Friend. Also if you wish, you may send me some suggestions and maybe new duelists to play the minor roles that always need filled. I take all suggestions into consideration. Thoughts are in Italics
Domino City, a city of pride, of hope, of games. The Duel monster card game had become popular ever since the Duelist Kingdom and the Battle City, and who could forget the KC Cup. Many things have happened and soon one boy in High School would be finding out that this game would be more important then he thought.
Domino High school, Classroom B5
Russell Friggins was sitting in his seat trying to listen to the teacher's droning, Russell was well over 6'1, his short brown hair hung around his face, shaping it. He wore blue button up shirt worn open over a grey muscle shirt, black jeans and black converse. The school did not require uniforms but most people did wear them.
The Bell rang and everyone walked out.
Russell was outside of the school chatting with his friend Bren Tenkage.
Bren Tenkage was 5'9 he wore his long black hair tied back in a ponytail. He was dressed
in a black t-shirt with blue jeans and black sneakers. He had a pendant of a yin yang around his neck
Bren: So hear about the Kaiba Corp New Tournament?
Russell: Yeah I know, you going to join?
Bren: Might, I might even get the chance to duel Yugi or Kaiba, heck even Joey or Bakura
Russell: That would be cool, I heard the prize is anything you desire, provide personally by Kaiba, I would love to get free passes to the American Kaiba Land
Bren: Oh I heard about that place, it is supposed to beat Disney land by a mile
Russell grins at Bren who then high fived him back
After the chat Russell was walking through the city where he saw posters advertising the Kaiba Corp, Masters Cup, people were crowding them reading the rules when someone bumped into Russell knocking him to the ground
Russell: damn it….
The person looks at Russell then sneer at him, his face was like a ghouls and he was thin and lanky
Russell: asshole
He got himself up and went into a game shop where an old man looked at him
Man: Oh you must be here to sign up for the tournament, yep, when I was your age we didn't have these good card games
Russell grinned and signed the sheet saying who he is, he already had a duel disk and he knew what to do, and in one weak he would be in the Master's Tournament.
The man smiled
Man: You know my grandson is a duelist, boy was always talking to himself, but dang he was good
Russell laughed
Russell: he sounds like a nice guy, but I got to go
Russell walked out and passed a man in a long coat and he thought he heard the old man say "Hey Yugi good to see you again" but he shook it off.
One Week Later
Kaiba's blimps were in the Skies, he had chosen the time where the schools were out and many duelist were ready with their duel disks, Russell Included, but Bren was no where to be seen.
Russell: Oh yeah it is time
Kaiba's face appeared on the blimps side
Kaiba: Duelist, years ago this city became a battle ground, now it is time for you experience the pride of a true warrior. Now then the rules, first off you must offer your rarest in wager along with a Locator Card, when you have 10 you must stack them and in the light shined into them you will find the location of the finals, only 8 will get the chance to gain their one request, provided by me Seto Kaiba. Be on the look out for Yugi Moto, Joey Wheeler, Ryu Bakura and many other duelists I hired to duel and act as some good challenges.
The screen went blank and everyone cheered
Russell grinned and he looked around and he noticed a robed person in an alley already dueling someone, some guy in some shorts and shirt, nothing special, so Russell went to look at the duel
The Field was set with the robed person with a monster that looked like a 8 armed fiend each carrying a different weapon, with 2 facedown's, the man had no cards on the field.
Robe 4000 LP
Random 500 LP
The man drew his card
Man: I play the spell monster reborn to summon my Jinzo that you forced me to discard turns ago, so now your traps are useless
The robed person wasn't moved
Man: Jinzo Attack his 8 armed demon
Robed man: Not so fast, I play the quick play spell, Forced defense, this spell forces your monster into defense mode for the turn.
The man groaned and ended his turn
The robed man drew his card and under the hood grinned
Robed man: This is the end, I play the spell, Dark Rage, and this card increases my dark monster's attack by 500 and gives it a trample effect
The man looked at his Jinzo who would be destroyed and soon in the possession of this man
Robed Man: 8 Armed Demon destroy Jinzo with blade paradise
The Demon grinned and chopped up Jinzo putting the man's life points down to 0
Robed: heh, now it is time for you to pay the price
The man pulled out a pendent, it looked like an artifact from Egypt
Man: wait what are you talking about, you have my locator card and my Jinzo
The man held them up but the Robed man's pendent glowed and in a flash of eerie light, the man vanished
The robed man then picked up the fallen cards then looked at Russell
Russell: What did you do?
Robed man: I sent him to the shadow realm, and now my next victim will be you
Russell activate his duel disk
Russell: Not if I can help it
Robed man: You look familiar, ah yes, you are that punk you ran into me on the streets
The Man lowered his hood to reveal his ghoul face
Man: I go by Kage, and now it is the end for you
Both players: Lets duel
Russell: I will start things off
Russell Drew and he smiled
Russell: I start off with Battle Ox
The Minotaur Creature appeared and snorted some mist from it's mouth
Russell: Then I play 3 cards facedown and that's it
Kage: Interesting start, I summon my Shield Demon in defense mode
A Demon holding an oversized shield appeared (ATK 500 DEF 2000 DEF)
Kage: Then I set 2 cards facedown and end my turn
Russell drew his next card and he smiled again
Russell: I been lucky today, I tribute my Battle Ox to summon Megazowler
The Dinosaur appeared and it was ready to charge
Russell: Then I boost it's power with Big Bang shot making it's attack 2200
A leg brace appeared on the dino's leg and it prepared to charge
Russell: Attack with Charging head butt
The Dino charged right through the wall and Kage's lifepoints dropped to 3800
Russell: Don't forget, my big bang shot also gives him a trample effect
Kage was silent but he flipped a card over
Kage: My trap, call of the haunted to bring back my demon, but I use him to summon my Hunter Demon
Demon appeared carrying multiple bows and arrow, and other trapper gear ( ATK 2400 DEF 1800)
Kage: Attack with poison arrow
The Demon took an arrow out and fire but Russell grinned and flipped his own card
Russell: Rush Recklessly
The Dino gained 700 more ATK and charged right at the demon inflicting 500 points of damage to Kage
Russell: Who are you? And why did you send that man to the shadow realm
Kage: My leader has the answers, but enough about your doom, I play the trap, Demon's Call, since I lost a demon this turn, I can special summon another demon to the field by paying half my lifepoints
Kage: 1550
Kage: I summon my 8 Armed Demon
The Demon that ended the first man's game appeared grinning (2800 ATK 2400 DEF)
Kage: I lay one card face down and end my turn
Russell drew a card
Russell: I summon my Mystic horseman in defense mode then I lay a card facedown and switch my Megazowler into defense mode, that's all I got
Kage drew
Kage: 8 Armed Demon attack his horseman
The Demon chopped up the Centaur into peaces
Kage: My Demon can attack twice in a turn of course he can't attack directly if he does attack again, but he can still kill that dino
The demon does chop up Megazowler and Kage ended his turn
Russell drew a card and it was an axe of despair
Russell: Lets see, I have face down, the equipment pride, which will boost a monster by 500 points for every equip spell on it, and my other card should help too, but I need that one card or something to pull this off
Russell: I end my turn
Kage sighed
Kage: This is no fun if you don't fight back, Demon attack
The Demon slashed at Russell and his lifepoints went to 1200
Kage: Then I flip my demon's arrow, which inflicts 1000 more damage if you were attacked by a demon
An arrow shot out and took out 1000 more lifepoints
Kage: Make your final move
Russell drew his next card and looked at it
Russell: I play the spell, Grave Fusion, by removing 2 monsters in my grave I can fusion summon a monster, I remove my Battle Ox and my Mystic Horseman to create my rabid horseman
The Centaur with the Minotaur's upper body looked mad
Russell: Then I give it the axe of despair which will boost my Horseman to 3000 ATK, and I also play the trap, Equipment pride, which will boost him another 500
Kage: Uh oh
The horseman charged and cut up the monster into the pieces and Kage was down to 850 lifepoints
Russell: Don't think this is over, I flip my shattered sword, by destroying an equip spell on my monster, I can inflict damage equal to the power it gave, so I destroy my axe to end this duel
Kage's Lifepoints went down to 0
Kage: no
The pendent around his neck started to glow and he looked scared
Kage: No master forgive me, I will do goo-
He was engulfed in shadows and disappeared leaving only his duel disk and cards which Russell took a look at
Russell: Seriously a lot of demons, but I guess I will take the 8 armed one, and I get a locator card, but I guess I batter take the 2nd since no one can really use it but me
Russell walked out of the lobby, unaware that a lone figure in an identical robe was watching from the roof tops, but it didn't matter as the figure ran off
Elsewhere in the city
Bren was grinning, he already beaten 2 guys, both easy and he wondered if Russell did well, so he figured he head to Burger World and grab a bite, maybe even meet him there
To be continued.
