"I summon Harpy Lady in attack mode" Raven cried, sliding the card into
place on the duelling platforms reader plate. In the stadium the
holographic projectors flared briefly before light formed into the gracile
figure of Harpy Lady.
"You're obviously losing your edge if you think that overgrown bird can
stop me" taunted Erisa, Ravens opponent.
"I also play this card face down ending my turn" Raven countered calmly.
"My turn and I think I'll attack your Harpy Lady with my Dark Magician whom
I summon by sacrificing my two two stars" Erisa taunted, "I'd like to see
you beat the most powerful monster in my deck with that pathetic excuse for
a monster, Dark magician, dark magic attack!"
The Dark Magician raised his green staff, energy crackling and released a withering assault on Harpy Lady. Raven smiled, for a grade A duellist Erisa was surprisingly foolish. "By attacking my Harpy Lady you activate my trap card, Mirrorwall, this card reflects your attack right back at you, destroying your Dark Magician and your remaining lifepoints, I win" Raven informed Erisa calmly, flipping up the face down card and eradicating the last vestiges of her lifepoints. As he spoke a large crystal wall rose across his side of the field, reflecting the energy of the attack back at the Dark Magician, destroying it in a shower of multifractal sparks.
The duellist platforms disengaged and Raven approached Erisa. "According to your own rules the winner takes the rarest card in your deck, I get your Dark Magician" Erisa sullenly handed over the card before spitting venomously at Raven, "How did you get that card, Mirrorwall is one in five cards, awarded to the top five in the state championship". "Just because I don't go banging titles around Erisa doesn't mean I haven't achieved anything" Raven said, sliding the card into his deck and exiting the duellist stadium.
Bane looked up from his laptop to the construction team in front of him. "Yes?" he hissed, annoyed at the interruption. "Sir we've encountered a problem in to construction phase..." the foreman began but trailed off under the fury of Banes gaze. "I am about to host one of the greatest duelling tournaments in the entire western world" Bane began dangerously, "What I have done is reinvent holographic interfaces to a whole new level and what I don't need is and incompetent foreman who doesn't know how to tie his own shoelaces!" "I think I can fix it" he stammered quietly "You had better" Bane threatened
Raven got home and face the usually diatribe, Where have you been?, What were you doing?, Who were you with?, Do you know the time? And after answering and re - answering his mother's questions for the umpteenth time he retreated to the peace and quiet of his bedroom.
Lying on his double bed he began an instant replay of his duel with Erisa. Like most of his opponents she was horrible over confident in her abilities which was a drastic weakness, one he exploited mercilessly. Later, logging onto his computer, Raven planned to get a start on his computer based school work but the urge to read his email tingled at him, irresistibly. Connecting to the internet he opened his email and to his fascination found an email waiting for him, from Bane Enterprises.
Bane glanced down at his reflection in the full length mirror. His hair, crimson red, neatly styled, his fashionable street clothing immaculate. Smiling, a smile that never reached his cold, cruel green eyes, he stepped out of obscurity and into the camera ranges pick up "Good evening" Bane intoned in his most sultry and seductive voice, "I am Bane Ebson, founder of Bane Enterprises and I am putting out a challenge to all duellists of the western world to participate in my newest game, Duel World!"
Across TV sets viewers were enthralled by the young geniuses' announcement, even Raven "I have personally overseen the construction of facilities that will play host of millions of duellists entering my newest VR World, contestants will use Battle City rules and will not only duel to acquire opponents cards but also fight to complete quests and receive one of a kind duel monsters cards" Bane continued, "The competition is open to all duellists, but remember only the first two thousand get in if they don't have an invitation", Raven glanced back at his computer screen, displaying the virtual invitation ready to be printed, "I'll see you at the games".
Raven thought ponderously to himself, this duel would be interesting indeed.
