Chapter 1: Enter! the Spirit Duelist!
On a small hill on the outskirts of Maiami city stood a young man around the age of 15, wearing a red v neck shirt, black jeans, dark blue trainers and a short sleeve black jacket. He has messy black hair and piercing amethyst eyes, dangling from his neck is a silver, ruby encrusted ring hanging from a small silver chain.
"So this this is Maiami city huh. Lively, vibrant and full of duelists. Just like the old lady from that orphanage described. Haha, she was right the LDS building really does stand out. Still, it was nice of her to give me some new clothes to replace the tattered ones I used to wear. I'll need to remember to pay her back one day." He said with a small laugh. The boy gripped his ring tightly and let out a heavy sigh. "Well then, let's see if I can figure something out about my memories and my past here." Looking toward the city the black haired duelist took a card out from his dark red duel disk and smiled. "Well time to see what kind of adventure and challenge awaits us here... Hope."
Yu-Gi-Oh!
As he walked the streets of his new home he quickly became bored as he couldn't find anyone to duel. 'Man, things are pretty boring around here, every duelist I've seen is either already in a duel or refuse to duel me because there busy, and everyone from LDS won't duel just because I look weak. That old lady never told me the people from LDS were arrogant.' As he was thinking this the boy started to scratch the his head as he came to a more important realisation. 'I...don't have a place to stay' he let out a sigh of annoyance. "Damn it! How can I live here if I don't have a house to live in!" The boy shouted gaining weird looks from people walking by him. The duelist then went into a rant about he was now homeless and he'll have to eat out of the bins in order to survive; again gaining questionable looks from passers-by. "This is my punishment for freeloading off of other people during my travels isn't it?" He muttered to himself with a look of saddness covering his face. However he was taken out of his ramblings as he heard a commotion coming form the park he was passing by.
"Yuya-nii-chan would never duel a guy like you, Ankokuji Gen!" Shouted a small boy with blue who was standing protectively in front of a girl with red hair and a chubby green haired boy. Stood directly in front of the three kids was an older and bulky guy wearing blue pants, he also wore a blue jacket over a purple shirt, he also had what looked like a red sash tied around his abdomen and a pair of steel sandals on his feet. Stood behind him were three people who could best be described as generic grunt #1, 2 and 3.
"Is that so? Well maybe he'll change his mind if he found out his friends were in danger." Hearing this made the black haired duelist watching in the distance narrow his eyes and clench his fist in anger, ' this guy, he's the definition of the word pathetic'. After taking a few deep breaths to calm down the amethyst eyed duelist made his way toward the three kids.
"Why do you want to duel Yuya-nii-chan so badly anyway!?" The chubby kid asked. This caused Gen to grit his teeth in anger as he replied. "It's simple, I refuse to believe that the son of a coward and a pathetically weak duelist like that guy beat a champion like Strong Ishijima! So I'll duel the cowards son and prove to everyone that his victory was nothing more then dumb luck!"
"You...you don't deserve to be called a duelist, no wonder you got kicked out of the Gongenzaka dojo. You're the real coward!" The blue haired kid shouted. Gen merely laughed at him.
"Think that if you want to, but I'm still going to make sure that idiot Sakaki Yuya becomes a laughing stock just like his father was!" Gen looked back at his friends and grinned. "Grab them." He said in a threatening tone of voice. However, before they had the chance to grab one of the kids, a small stone hit Gen in the side of his head, much to everyone's surprise. "GRRR, WHO DID THAT!?" Gen yelled in anger causing the three kids to flinch at the outburst.
"Bullying and intimidating little kids. Then threatening to put them in danger just to settle a petty grudge with someone else? The blue kid is right, you are a coward." Everyone turned their heads to see a pair of amethyst eyes glaring at Gen and his friends. After taking a moment to process what happened Gens look of anger and annoyance slowly turned into one of amusement as he burst out laughing along with his friends.
"HAHAHA...and who are you? I haven't seen you around before, are you supposed to be some kind of knight in shining armour?" Gen taunted.
"Yeah, you have no idea who your talking to. Boss Gen is one of the best duelists in the city." Generic grunt #1 commented which caused the boy to raise his eyebrow in interest. 'Oh, this guy, one of the best duelists in Maiami city, I highly doubt that.' He thought.
"That's right, you should show some respect to boss Gen, he's a tough duelist taught by strong Ishijima himself!" grunt #2 stated. 'Strong Ishijima? What's that? Hmm, sounds like a brand of super glue.'
Smirking Gen said " Well now that you know, if you apologise I'll let you -"
"Duel me. If your as good as your friends say you are, then this should be an easy win for you. Right?" The amethyst eyed duelist said causing the three kids to look at him in shock.
"Hmph, fine seeing as your new around here I guess I should put you in your place and show you how things work around here." Gen boasted.
"Fine, but If I win you are to never give these kids anymore trouble. Understood?"
"Haha, fine let's do this. But I'll say this now the only way you can win is through a miracle." The duelist smirked at hearing this comment, 'Thats what they all say before they lose'
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Gen and the black haired duelist took there places opposite each other prearing their decks and duel disks, while the three kids and the generic grunts watch from the sides.
"Hey, do you think this guy can beat Ankokuji. He doesn't really look like much." The chubby boy asked the blue haired one.
"You shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Besides I believe in this guy. I can feel it, this guy is giving off an air of absolute confidence." Was the blue hairs reply.
"I believe in him as well" The little girl chimed in, giving the amethyst eyed duelist a small smile.
""DUEL!""
The black haired duelist activated his dark red duel disk which produced a bright purple energy blade.
Gen looked at his duel disks display and smirked "So your name is Makoto huh?" The boy simply nodded in reply. "Well then Makoto I hope you don't cry too badly after I embarrass you in front of everyone!" Gen boasted full of confidence.
[Makoto: 4000 Life Points (VS) Gen: 4000 Life Points]
Turn 01: Gen [Hand: 5]
"I'll take the first turn" Gen declared. " I summon Boulder Battleguard in attack mode!" Appearing on Gens field was a giant ogre wearing a dark blue cloth a wielding a club as it's weapon of choice.
Boulder Battleguard
[LV: 4 / Earth / Effect / ATK: 1200]
Gen smirked " I'll end my turn with that. Now let's see if your all talk or not. Mr. Knight, haha" Hearing this Makoto let out an exasperated sigh. 'I should be saying that to you after all the boasting you've done.' Shaking his head Makoto made his move.
"Is that all? If so...then this duel has ended before it's begun" The duelst declared causing Gen to clench his fist and teeth in anger. "My turn! Draw!" Makoto shouted, swiftly drawing his next card.
Turn 02: Makoto [Hand: 6]
Looking at his opening hand Makoto couldn't help but smile. "Well, this shouldn't take too long. Good thing too, this guy is starting to get really annoying with his egotistical attitude." Makoto muttered, talking to himself. However, this didn't go unnoticed as the three kids were able to just hear him as they sweatdrop. "He may be confident, but he has to be crazy talking to himself like that." The chubby one said. "He's being a bit too laid back if you ask me?" The blue one said with a deadpan look.
"First, I'll summon Spirit Guardian: Crimson Butterfly in attack mode!" Makoto said as a small slightly see through red butterfly appeared on his field.
Spirit Guardian: Crimson Butterfly
[LV:3 / Light / Effect / ATK: 400]
Even though they tried to hold it in Gen and his friends couldn't help but laugh at Makoto and his monster, whilst the three kids looked at him in disbelief seeing, what they believe to be a misplay.
"HAHAHA, I guess you really were all talk summoning such a pathetic monster." Gen sneered.
"Crush it, boss Gen!" The peanut gallery shouted. Unfazed Makoto continued with his turn.
"I activate my butterflies effect. When she's successfully summoned to the field, I can special summon a level 3 or lower 'spirit' monster from my deck." Makoto announced. "So from my deck I special summon Spirit Guardian: Shining Priestess!" Appearing next to crimson butterfly was a young ethereal girl with snow white hair reaching down to her waist, with bright turquoise eyes that shine like jewels. She wore a white robe across her upper body and a long blue skirt along with a red staff topped with a blue gem in her right hand.
Spirit Guardian: Shining Priestess
[LV: 3 / Light / Effect / ATK: 800]
"He summoned another weak monster, I knew he was more crazy then confident!" The chubby one said to his two friends. The other boy simply shook his head and said. "It'll be fine, he may not be taking this seriously entirely, but I can see the confident look on his face." Whilst the red haired girl simply nodded in agreement.
"I activate priestesses effect. Once per turn I can discard two spell cards that are the same type, then I can add a new one of the same type to my hand straight from my deck!"
Hearing this caught Gen by surprise. "What!? There's no way a weak and worthless monster like that has such a good effect." Hearing this Makoto simply smiled and laughed, catching everyone by surprise.
"Hah, you really don't get it do you?" This statement caused the three young kids to look at him with confused faces trying to figure out what he means. "There's no such thing as a weak or useless monster. Sure there are those with high attack points like your Battleguard and there are ones with low attack like my butterfly. However, every monster has their own individual strengths that allow even the weakest Monsters to become one of the strongest. The fact that you can't see past a monsters attack and defence points means you lost to me the moment you agreed to duel me!" Makoto stated with confidence.
Listening to the black haired duelist made the three kids look at him in awe and amazement at his words. "Now with priestesses effect, I'll discard two normal spell cards in order to add a new normal spell to my hand." After discarding the two cards Makoto looked through his deck searching for his chosen spell. After a while Makoto spoke. "Here it is! I'll add the spell Spirit Resonance to my hand." This spell card depicted crimson butterfly and red eyes black dragon next to each other with seven level stars circling around them. "Next, I'll set one card face down then activate the spell double summon. I don't think I need to explain what this does. So I'll sacrifice my butterfly in order to advance summon Spirit Guardian: Sakura Princess!" This monster was a beautiful woman with pale skin and shining black hair tied into a neat pony tail with two long bangs that fall to the sides of her face. She wore a pink kimono that was graced with multiple floral patterns.
Spirit Guardian: Sakura Princess
[LV: 8 / Light / Effect / ATK: 1300]
"Wait! That monster is level eight, it needs two tributes to summon it! You're a cheater!" Gen exclaimed angrily.
"Sakura Princess only requires one 'spirit' monster as tribute. However, when summoned like this her attack is halved and her effect is negated." Makoto explained calmly. "Now for the final card in my hand. Spirit Resonance! This allows me to target one level seven or higher monster on my field, then one level 3 or lower 'spirit' monster on my field has its level changed to the targeted monster until the end of this turn. So Shining Priestess becomes a level eight just like Sakura Princess."
Gen and his friends merely laughed. "Big deal, how will that help you win? Sure your Princess is stronger then Battleguard but how will making your other monster a higher level help you? Boss Gen will be able to beat you next turn!." One of the grunts said in a taunting voice.
However Makoto merely laughed and turned to the three children watching the duel. "I don't know, maybe someone in our audience can tell us what I can do with two Monsters on my field that have the same level!?" Makoto asked in a happy tone of voice. At first the three of them looked confused and in deep thought until the boy with the blue hair widened his eyes in shock. "N-No way! He's going to XYZ summon!?" He exclaimed much to the surprise of his two friends.
"No way!"
"Shivers!"
Upon hearing this the black haired duelist couldn't help but give the chubby kid a deadpan look. 'Shivers? What the hell does that even mean?' He thought as he turned back to the duel.
"Heh, you're absolutely correct my blue haired friend. So, using my two level eight Monsters I build the overlay network!" A galaxy vortex appeared on the field as the two guardians went inside it Makoto started to chant. "O, great and majestic dragon, blessed with the power of heaven lend me your great strength and destroy our enemies! Xyz summon! Descend from the heavens! Rank 8! Shining Hope Dragon!" What appeared from the portal was a regal looking white dragon with piercing golden eyes and golden markings lining it's entire body and its wings looked as if they were made from pure light, from the corners of the dragons mouth two small golden flames flowed outward. Accompanying the dragon were two golden overlay units orbiting its body. As the majestic beast spread its wings it let out a load and pride filled roar, causing Gen to take a step back and his friends to run away in fear of being eaten, whilst the three kids looked at the dragon with amazement on their faces.
Shining Hope Dragon
[RK: 8 / Light / Xyz / Effect / ATK: 3000 / OU: 2]
"Amazing, an xyz summon!" The blue haired one said
"It's so beautiful!" The girl exclaimed.
"Shivers!" The chubby boy shouted, causing Makoto to sweatdrop.
"I-I-Is that a-all you got next turn I'll be able t—"
"Trap card activate, dimension slice!" Makoto shouted. Just as Gen was about to say something Makoto cut him off. " Before you accuse me of cheating, let me explain. Dimension slice can be activated when a monster is special summoned to my field, this trap allows me to banish one face up monster on your field. But, if the special summoned monster is an xyz monster I can activate this card on the turn I set it."
Gens eyes widened in horror. "Then that means my monster is banished!" He states as his monster vanishes in front of his eyes." Makoto simply closed his eyes and smiled as he clenched his ring. 'Well I guess it's time to end this duel, thankfully, I don't think I can listen to anymore of this guy's boasting.' He thought to himself as he opened his amethyst eyes gazing at his opponent.
"Battle! Shining Hope Dragon! Attack him directly! Divine Burst Strike!" As the heavenly dragon prepared its attack the three children pointed out something that caused Gen to smile with relief.
"Wait, Shining Hope Dragon has 3000 attack points, so even with this attack Ankokuji will still have 1000 life points left!" The small girl explained. This prompted Makoto to smile and reply.
"I wouldn't worry about that if I were you." He said smiling, gaining curious looks from the three spectators. "By detaching one overlay unit during my battle phase I can pay 1000 life points in order for Hope to gain 1000 attack points!" The xyz duelist explained. As Makoto lost his life points the white dragons attack grew bigger and brigter as its attack points rose to 4000. Then the dragon launched a beam of bright golden fire toward Gen. "AARGHHH" Gen screamed as the attack engulfed him.
[Makoto: WIN (VS) Gen: 0000 Life Points]
As the attack cleared Gen was revealed to be on the ground slowly rising to his feet. He gave Makoto one last glare and ran off after his friends. Although, the xyz duelist just gave a sigh of relief. "There, that took care of that problem. Man I'm hungry, I wonder if those kids got any food on them." He said to himself. As the solid vision holograms were fading Makoto glanced at his dragon and muttered the word thanks under his breath to which the dragon nodded in acknowledgement before fading away.
Yu-Gi-Oh!
"Who are you?"
"what's your name?"
"Who taught you xyz summoning?"
Were some of the questions Makoto was bombarded with before letting out a small chuckle at their behaviour, "Hehheh, calm down, one question at a time. How about we start with introductions?" The kids nodded and then with a big grin he said "I'm Makoto. Nakase Makoto, the Spirit Duelist. It's nice to meet you!"
