Prolog:

A gust of wind whirled down a dark alley as two figures stood ready to duel, each wore a duel disk on there right arm. The first was wearing a hooded navy sweatshirt and sweat pants and a hockey mask that covered his enter face, black hair dangled in front a triangular symbol. His blue eyes sparkled in the moonlight.

The second was a young man wearing a grey high school uniform; short brown hair covered his head. A pair of wire framed glasses rested on his face. He smiled "So, you want to test me?" The boy said lifting his arm as his Duel Disk swung open.

The masked Duelist laughed "Yes, I'm here to test to, but this is a test you will fail, Lars Ichiro." He said in a raspy voice. He too raised his arm as his Duel Disk slid open.

"Duel" they said synchronized. White light filled the alley.

Lars: 4000

Masked Duelist: 4000

"I'll go first" said the masked duelist drawing five cards. His eyes quickly scanned his hand and his eyes soon meet Lars's "For my first turn I'll summon one card face down in defense mode and I'll also lay play two cards, face down and that will end my turn"

Lars drew one card and placed it in his hand. "I'll summon Cyber Pirate in attack mode!" (Atk: 1800) instantly a pirate with a mechanical hooked arm appeared in front of Lars, "also I'll lay a face down card." A big card appeared behind the pirate. "My turn is now over." Lars finished off.

The Figure drew a card and starred at it for a moment and chuckled "I play one face down card and end my turn."

Lars drew one card and smiled 'this card should help' he thought. "I'll equip Cyber Pirate with Iron Cutlass" The pirate's hooked arm instantly became a huge rusty cutlass. "This card increases my Cyber Pirate's attack points by 500 points. (Atk: 2300) "Now my Pirate Attack his face down card!" The pirate ran towards the masked figure and sliced the card that was in front of him. A small man flew backwards and shattered.

"Ha, that was my Gate Defender, (Def: 2000) If this card is destroyed you lose 500 Lifepoints for each face down card! Also I can summon one card with gate in its name in attack mode. So I summon Gate Archer (Atk: 1400)" a small elf like man appeared with a crossbow for an arm.

Lars: 3500

Duelist: 4000

'Gate cards, that's not a good sign.' Lars thought to himself. "I end my turn"

"That's all you can do, now I'll sacrifice my Gate Archer to summon my Gate Dragon!" (Atk: 2200) a huge dragon appeared towering over the buildings. "Also I'll play this" a card that was face down revealed it's self "Gate Zone, every card with gate in its name gains a 500 attack point bonus!" The Hugh Purple Dragon roared as the entire ally way became a huge black spaced area. Gate Dragon looked down his eyes red its attack points were now 2700. "Now my Beast, attack his Cyber Pirate!" The Dragon reared his head back a fired a huge black fireball at the mechanical pirate, it shattered as it hit him. "Also if my Gate Dragon Attacks and destroys a monster you lose that monster's original attack point to your life points."

Smoke filled the area. Once the smoke settled Lars stood their smiling, a huge pirate ship toward over him, Cyber Pirate remanded on board and in one piece. "You activated my Cyber Pirate's ability if you attack him I can play one card as from my hand to protect me and a choose The Flying Dutchmen!" the ship fired a cannon and destroyed the field and soon the dark empty space became the deck of a pirate ship. "that's no all do to the Flying Dutchmen's field ability as long as I have on card with Pirate in it's name I can summon this." Lars pulled a card from his hand and laid it on his duel disk. A huge Zombie like Pirate appeared; it towered over Lars. "I'd like you to meet Davie Jones, Pirate of the Deep" (Atk: 2500) "I'll also summon another Cyber Pirate with yet another Iron Cutlass!" (Atk: 2300)

"Ha, your still not strong enough to destroy my dragon!' the figure called as thunder clashed.

"Want to bet." Lars said smiling "I'll activate the effect of The Flying Dutchmen; it increases the attack points of any card with pirate in its name by 500!"

"NO!" the masked man cried.

"Now, Cyber Pirate (Atk: 2800) attack his Gate Dragon!" The mechanical man leaped into the crows nest and plunged towards the dragon sword bursting into flames"

Lars: 1300

Man: 3900

"You still don't have enough power to whip me out just yet." The man said laughing, "Even after you captain attacks I'll still be here!"

"Oh yah, I'll now use his special ability for each pirate card on the field I can increase his attack points by 500!" (Atk: 3500) and I'll also use this Lars pulled a card from his hand and slide it in the field slot. "Cabin Fever, this card increase all pirate cards attack points buy 400." Davie Jones (3900) Cyber Pirate (3200) "Now Davie Jones Attack his Life points directly!

"No!" the masked man cried as the huge pirate lunged towards the clocked man with a huge gold cutlass and stuck his duel disk depleting his Lifepoints to zero

Lars: 1300

Man: 0

"I won so now give me my prize," Lars said smirking

The Masked man reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small white envelope and gave it to Lars. Lars opened the envelope and a small yellow ticket fluttered to the ground followed by a card and a note.

Lars bent down and picked up the ticket and the card. He looked at it 'Skull Rock' Lars smiled "Perfect, just the card I need. He then placed it into his deck and slid the deck into his pant pocket, he then bent down and pick up the letter and the ticket, he slide the ticket into this shirt and opened the letter;
