"Why she wanted me here ill never know," a young boy sighed, he walked over to the railing of the boat. He looked down into the blue water wondering how long until they would arrive. The sun had been beating down upon him the whole day and he was beginning to feel a bit sick, not only that but he had also almost lost one of his best cards to the water when somebody skidded round a corner, whacked into him and ran off again causing the boy to drop all of the cards he was holding. One of these cards almost slipped off the boat, he just managed to grab his Exxod before it plummeted down towards the crystal clear waters below.
"I mean, I was doing fine at that other place and then she has to go and order me moved to another damned place" He looked up from the ocean only to be pushed back down again, almost knocking him off balance.
"Careful Tom!" He cried out
"awww come on you didn't fall in did ya?" another boy apparently called Tom replied diving under the railing only to grab hold of the lowest bar and swing himself back up and over, landing neatly on the deck.
"Yeah yeah no need to show off." The boy replied. He sighed again before turning around and walking to were his duel disk lay, picking it up he turned around to face Tom.
"Hey Tom, wanna rematch? He shouted back to Tom who was staring down at his hand.
"Sure thing Eddy, I need a comeback after losing three times in a row!" Tom replied. Jumping off his left foot Tom zoomed over to face Eddy from the opposite side of the deck. Several people looked at them but showed little interest, so soon just wandered off. They attached their duel disks to their arms smiling at each other.
They both activated their duel disk and shouted "Duel" drawing five cards each.
Tom : 4000
Eddy : 4000
"Il start……." Tom called over while drawing another card "……. by summoning Feral imp!" (1300/1400) A small green imp rose up to the field, sniffing the air it grinned. "Next I will play magical mallet!" Tom eagerly shouted, "This lets me return as many cards from my hand as I like then I draw the same amount of cards I put into my deck. A large hammer appeared out of thin air, its presence made Eddy stand back a little. It suddenly fell down squishing three cards. Tom quickly placed three cards into his deck and drew three after shuffling it. "That's all" Tom finished.
"It won't be enough!" Eddy called back as he drew a card from his deck. Grinning slightly he slammed a card into a monster zone. "I set this monster card and play the spell Canyon!" Eddy shouted.
"ok this is weird," Tom looked around nervously as a facedown monster card appeared and the ship around them turned into dust, falling through nothing Tom yelped as he realised that he was suddenly thirsty and that he was surrounded by high walls of rock covered in sand. He couldn't see water anywhere.
"Pretty cool huh?" Eddy grinned "this card means that if you attack one of my defence positioned monsters and its defence is higher than your attack then you lose double the life points you would normally!"
"Need…..water!" Tom groaned
"You don't let me finish it only doubles the life point damage if the defending monster is a rock type monster!" Eddy replied smiling slightly. "To finish ill slip down a face down!" Eddy stated simply.
Shaking his head Tom gathered himself up. "Right, then I gotta get myself back into gear!" He drew a card and smiled briefly. "I summon…….Ryu-kishin Powered!"(1600/1200) Tom shouted. As he did so a pink fiend gargoyle rose up onto the field and gave out a screech, brandishing its talons.
"Wow. Ok I haven't seen you use that card yet!" Eddy mumbled, stepping back.
"It's new…well in my deck. Some guy that I helped out gave it to me just before I surprised you at the railing" Tom replied just catching his friend's words. "Now, Feral imp attack his face down monster!" Tom shouted "Green claws!"
The imp started to hop/jump towards the face down card. Suddenly the card flipped over to reveal what looked like a green floating brick.(300/2000)
"Stone statue of the Aztecs!" Eddy called to his monster "Hands of Brick!"
The green floating Brick quickly shoved the imp back just as it brought its claws around. Just missing the imp crawled weakly back to its own field.
"Mistake," Tom said simply.
"Yup! You see, when my statue damages your life points it doubles the damage done!" Eddy replied.
"Oh great! With your field card out it doubles the damage again!" Tom groaned.
"Exactly!" Tom grinned.
Tom : 1200
Eddy : 4000
"Right my turn!" Eddy called over drawing a card. "I summon giant rat in attack mode!"(1400/1450) An oversized rat rose to the field, it shook its silver dusty fur and barred its teeth.
"Now go Giant rat! Attack his imp" Eddy commanded "Savage claw!" The rat ran towards the imp brandishing its claws as they grew in size. Smashing its claws into the imp it dodged a counter by the imp who then shattered into a million peaces.
Tom : 1100
Eddy : 4000
"My turn!" Tom drew "Time for a comeback! "I play the spell card Mystic Plasma Zone!" As Tom said this clouds swirled overhead, lighting struck a nearby mountain and rocks came tumbling down the mountain side. Similar strikes happened all around until it started to rain. "This card increases the attack of all dark monsters by 500 and decreases their defence by 400!" Tom clarified.
"Now go Ryu! Attack his rat! Crush it under your talons!" The gargoyle took off and swooped low and steadily towards the rat. It struck the rat square on in the chest sending it flying back into Eddy before shattering.
Tom : 1100
Eddy : 3300
Eddy laughed as he got up. "You activated my rat's effect! Eddy called out "It lets me summon medusa worm in attack mode!"(500/600) Suddenly a massive worm burst out of a mountain before disappearing beneath the ground only to emerge from the sand 11 meters from where it disappeared. The worm moved to Eddy's field its red body tensing and relaxing every so often.
Eying it suspiciously Tom ended his turn.
"I draw!" Eddy shouted drawing another card. "It's over Tom!" He shouted gleefully "Iv won!"
"It's not over till it's over Ed,!" Tom retorted
"First I remove my giant rat in my graveyard from play…to summon Gigantes in attack mode!"(1900/1300) Eddy called. A massive red beast with a horn on its head rose from the field, it slightly resembled a man but it held a tree trunk in its hand. Swinging its weapon about menacingly it roared!
Tom coward back slightly
"Next I use medusa worms effect to flip it face down, then I use the normal allowed flip summon, It's effect lets me destroy any monster on your side of the field!" Eddy called. Suddenly Ryu exploding in a shower of smoke and dust. When it all cleared they could see that Tom's side of the field was empty.
"NO! My gargoyle!" Tom shouted. He slumped back awaiting the inevitable attack.
"Now go Gigantes, finish him with Tree Sweep!" Eddy commanded. The massive red creature drove towards Tom who was positively petrified. As it approached Tom it swung its mighty tree catching Tom in the chest sending him flying back.
Tom : 0
Eddy : 3300
Gigantes gave out a victorious roar before fading along with the other monsters. As Eddy walked over to Tom the mountains, sand and clouds all gathered up into the sky in a great swirl that came down to make a cocoon around the two boys.
"Great game," Eddy exclaimed pulling on Toms arms
"Yeah but you won!" Tom replied allowing himself to be pulled to his feet as the cocoon expanded and shattered revealing the boys on the ship.
"It doesn't matter, you learn more from losing," Eddy unattached his arms from his duel disk.
"Maybe but it would be nice to win occasionally, wouldn't it?" Tom muttered doing the same.
"Ever thought about making another deck?" Eddy questioned walking side by side with his friend into a cabin.
"Well I have three quarters of a machine deck but im missing a few things," Tom answered sitting down. He opened a pouch and pulled out a deck of cards, showing them to Eddy he sighed.
"See?" Tom groaned
"Hey! I know!" Tom suddenly blurted. He walked over to his bed he pulled out a box.
"What?" Tom leaned over. Eddy brought out a big pile of cards, grinning he set them down and pulled out loads of machine cards.
"Would this be enough?" Eddy laughed as his friend nodded, dazed.
