Chapter 1: The Mechanic & The Warrior
New York City. The city that never sleeps. As the cars were zooming through the streets and people were walking by, a truly fascinating event was transpiring.
"Huh,huh,huh,huh..."
A small girl adorned in white & blue robes, a hat with 3 points with a blue emblem on it, silver hair, brown eyes was running for her life. She was being chased by a ferocious monster. If any duelist saw it, they could undoubtedly recognize it as the Hitotsu-Me Giant. As the one-eyed ogre closed in, the girl turned around. A light flashed in her hand. When the light faded to reveal a small wand in same color as her clothing.
"GO AWAY!", the girl yelled. A large beam of light surrounded the creature before he disintegrated. The girl ran out of the alley she was in. As she surveyed her surroundings, one thought ran through her head with a sigh, "I am definitely not home anymore."
In another part of town, a young man entered a bar. He had wild & shaggy black hair that went down to his neck, hazel eyes, and an average build with some muscles. He wore a plain red t-shirt with a pair of dark blue jeans, white tennis shoes and a faded blue denim jacket. On his belt was a black deck box signaling he was a duelist. He looked around and sat at the bar. "What can get ya mac?", the bartender asked. "1 Landshark please." The boy replied. As the bartender looked for the drink, the boy asked, "Do you know anyone who works on Duel Runners?" "Well, there is this rumor going around about a kid in Brooklyn. He graduated from the local Duel Academy a year ago. They say if you beat him in a duel, you get half price on your runner." "Is that so?" The young man asked as he drank his beer.
Scene Change
The mourning sun rises past the buildings of Brooklyn. The scene changes to a room decorated with Duel Monsters memorabilia. A time wizard clock ticked toward 8:00 AM as a song started to play.
Woke up with yaw, it's dawning I'm still alive. Turned on my radio to start up new day. As goddamn D.J.s chattered how to survive, Amazing news got over on the air wave.
While music played, a boy with brown hair and green eyes rose out of bed and dressed. He put on a pair of fingerless gloves, a black t-shirt, a dogtag, a pair of jean shorts and black & white sneakers. When he was down changing, he started to dance to the music.
Tonight! Love is rationed. Tonight! Across the nation. Tonight! Love infect worldwide. Almost another day.
At the end of the line he the top of the clock and the music stopped.
My name is Ezekiel Hudson. Most people call me Zeke. You noticed all the Duel Monsters stuff in my room. Well, ever since I was a kid, I loved dueling. And when I discovered Turbo Dueling, I wanted everyone to experience it. That's why I build Duel Runners. And why I have the half price policy at my store. Although, no ones ever tried to duel me. But one day, I'm going to duel the best and be the best.
The scene changes to him fixing his green duel runner. It looked like Rex Goodwin's runner. While he was tinkering away, a bell rang through the garage signaling he had a customer. "Just a sec!", he yelled. He ran up to the store. In the store was the same man from the bar scene. "Hello.", Zeke said excitingly. "Welcome to Zeke's auto-shop. My name is Ezekiel Hudson. But most people call me Zeke. How can I help?"
"Ya, I heard you build runners?"
"That is correct sir."
"Well here's my design." He handed Zeke a piece of paper. When he looked at it his eyes widened.
"Wow. Is that 2 wheels in the front?"
"Yup."
"I'm guessing the pipes in the back mean you want an Over Boost system. Am I right?" "Yup."
Zeke went behind the counter and started calculating on the register. "Let's see.. Over Boost system and Dual front wheels and considering the fact this is an entirely new runner built from scratch... That come up to... $1500."
"What!" the man yelled. Then he thought about what the bartender said. "Hey, is true that you cut the price in half if someone beats you in duel?" Zeke had a surprised look on his face. "You mean you actually duel me?" "Sure." "Alright!" Zeke shouted as he pumped his hands in the air. "Ok. Meet me out back and bring your A-Game." As Zeke ran to the back of the store, the man sweat dropped and thought, "What a weird kid."
Scene Change
The Arena at the back of the shop had drawn-in arena shapes in the dirt. While one side lead to the back of the building, the other side lead to the street where people and cars went by. On left stood the as-of-yet- unnamed man and on the right was Zeke.
"By the way, I didn't catch your name." Zeke said.
"It's John. John McBain." the Man replied.
"OK John. Let's do this!" Zeke yelled as he through a small green device in the air. The device expanded into a square tablet like device. While was in the air, Zeke put on green wrist device and two square holders on the right side of his belt. The tablet landed and attached to the wrist device as five card slots and a deck zone appeared on the tablet. Zeke shoved his deck into the deck zone and it auto-shuffled. "D-Pad Set!" He then put on black headset with a green vizor on his left side. "D-Gazer, Set!"
John did the same process, but without yelling. His D-Pad was blue and his D-Gazer was silver with a red vizor.
"AR Vision. Link Complete."
A stream of data surrounded the area around the two duelists. The data faded and the people and cars from the street vanished. This was the Altered Reality. An invention made by Konami to make the monsters movements more realistic, let the players focus on the duel and to make duels more exciting. A holographic coin appeared in the middle.
"I call heads!" Zeke said. The coin flipped in the air and landed on heads. "Alright! I go first."
John smirked," Okay then.
"LET'S DUEL!" they both yelled.
Zeke (LP: 4000)/ John ( LP: 4000)
"Here I go." Zeke drew. "I activate the continuous spell card Machina Armored Unit. Now when a Machine-Type monster is destroyed in battle, I can bring out another machine with the same attribute and less attack points. Now I summon Genex Worker." (1200/1200) Now I activate Worker's effect. By releasing him, I can summon another Genex monster from my hand. So I summon Genex Solar!" (2500/1500)
"A Level 7 monster on the first turn? Not bad." John thought.
"I set a card," Zeke said as a facedown card appeared behind Solar "And end my turn."
"My turn." John drew. "I activate Hand Destruction. Now we discard 2 cards and draw 2 cards." John discarded The Immortal Bushi and Attack Gainer while Zeke discarded Domino Effect and R-Genex Crusher. Then they drew 2 cards. "Now I summon Marauding Captain. (1200/400) And when he comes out I an summon one of his Level 4 or lower friends from my hand. Come on out, Sword Master!" (1200/0) Now I tune Sword Master to Marauding Captain to Synchro Summon Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth. (2600/800) Now Gaia Knight, take out Solar with Twin-Spiral Slash." Gaia ran toward Genex Solar and stabbed him through the chest with both of his lances. Zeke (LP: 3900) As Solar went down, Some people saw the 2 duelists and put on their D-Gazers. "Hey. Isn't that the auto shop kid?"
"Solar might have been scraped, but now I can use my Armored Unit to summon Genex Neutron. (1800/1200)"
"I end my turn."
"My turn." Zeke drew. "I play the continuous spell card Fragment of Greed." A small piece of the Jar of Greed appeared. "But it doesn't kick in until later. Now I summon the Tuner monster Genex Controller. (1400/1200) Now I tune Controller with Neutron." Controller transformed into 3 gates and Neutron turned into 3 stars, Zeke chanted, "The Trinity of Power, Wisdom and Courage becomes One. Lead the way to victory, wielder of the Tri-Cannon. Accelerate, Genex Ally Triforce! (2500/2100) Alright! I brought out my favorite monster! Now I can use his Light effect."
"Light effect?" John asked.
"Triforce gains a different ability depending on the attribute of his non-synchro material." Triforce plunged his hand to a grave summon portal. "Since I used a light monster as material, I can set a light monster from my graveyard." Triforce pulled out a card from the circle and set it on the field. More people started to gather around. "Now I equip Triforce with 7 Completed to increase his attack points by 700." A red glowing 7 appeared on Triforce's crest. (3200) "Now I take out Gaia Knight with Tri-Buster!" 3 beams of light fired from the cannon and collided into a single blast that incinerated Gaia Knight. John (LP: 3600)"I set a card and end my turn." Zeke a two finger salute to his opponent.
"My turn." John drew. "I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Gaia Knight. Now I summon Torapart. (600/600) and tune them together to Synchro summon one of my favorites. Colossal Fighter! (2800/1000)
"Holy crap." Zeke muttered as he stared at the giant warrior in astonishment. However, he also saw spiritual versions of all of the monsters in his grave. The monsters were absorbed into Colossal Fighter. (3400)
"My Fighter gains 100 attack points for every warrior in any graveyard. Now I play Nitro Unit." A green bomb appeared on Triforce's back, it's weight making him kneel.
"Joke's on him now. My trap will blow him away." Zeke thought with a smile.
"Colossal Fighter, attack Genex Ally Triforce with Colossal Comet!" John shouted. As Colossal Fighter backed up his right hand and energy started to surge from it, John noticed the smile on his opponents face. "With a smile like that, he probably has Sakurestu Armor or Mirror Force." "Oh by way, when a monster synchro summoned by Torapart attacks, you can't activate Trap cards until the end of the damage step." he said while smirking.
"WHAT!" Zeke yelled.
The giant warrior socked the robot in the stomach as the bomb on the robots back started ticking. John pointed to the bomb. "When a monster equipped with Nitro Unit is destroyed, it's owner receives burn damage." A huge explosion blasted the surroundings. When the smoke cleared, John and Colossal Fighter were still standing while Zeke was bruised, burned and lying face-down in a small crater. Zeke (LP: 500) People in the crowd started talking and whispering. "That was freaking awesome." "That man must be a pro." "Is the auto kid alright?"
As the Genex player struggled to get up, John looked at him with an arrogant smile. "Why don't you just give up? My monster has over 3000 attack points, you can use traps against him and you only have 500 life points left. You can't win."
With one push, Zeke got up and to everyone's surprise, he was still smiling. "Why would I give up? This duel got exiting. I mean I've always wanted to take on a Colossal Fighter head on." The entire audience sweat dropped, including John. "Alright. Well try and fight back."
"Gladly. Thanks to Machina Armored Unit, I can summon Genex Ally Bellflame. (1700/1000) Now it's my move." Zeke drew as second piece appeared on the fragment. (Greed Counter: 1) "I activate Soul Release to remove 5 of your monsters in your graveyard from play. I pick Gaia Knight, Marauding Captain, Sword Master, Torapart and the Immortal Bushi. Meaning Colossal Fighter loses 500 attack points. (2900) And when cards in your graveyard get removed from play Genex Ally Bellflame gains 2 Genex Counters and 100 attack points for each counter." (2700)
"That's still not enough to beat my fighter."
"Then check this out." Zeke's set card flipped up. "I equip Bellflame with Burning Fighting Spirit! Now when he battles a monster that's stronger than his original attack score, I can double his original points." Four silver rings appeared on Bellflame, two on his arms and two on his legs. "Now take down Colossal Fighter with Ally Flamethrower!" As Bellflame aimed his fire extinguisher at the fighter, the rings on his body light up in flames. (4400) The resulting fire incinerated the fighter, but it's owner seemed unfazed by it's death. John (LP: 2100) In a flash, Colossal Fighter returned to the field. "When Colossal Fighter is out fought, I can summon a warrior from my graveyard. And he himself is a warrior." Zeke frowned with that info as Bellflame powered down. (2700) "I end my turn."
"My move." John drew. "I activate Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy Burning Fighting Spirit." A tornado surrounded Bellflame and destroyed the rings on his body. "Now my Fighter can destroy your monster. Go Colossal Comet!" Colossal smashed Bellflame into the ground as Zeke covered himself . Zeke (LP: 300) Zeke raised his right arm in the air and a red cannon with an orange G appeared in his hand. "I win." "Huh?" "When Genex Ally Bellflame is destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard," Zeke said as he pointed the weapon at his opponent, "You take 300 points of damage for each Genex Counter on him." He pulled on the trigger and John was blasted by a beam on red energy.
John (LP: 0) A screen appeared in the middle of the screen. On the screen was a picture of Zeke giving a two finger salute with a word WINNER on the top as the ending buzzer rang. Data flashed through the environment as it returned to normal. Zeke's bruises and the crater he was standing in disappeared. The crowd cheered in a loud applause. Zeke walked toward toward John and helped him up.
"You were awesome. Thanks for the great duel."
John looked at Zeke and a smile appeared on his face. "You too. Guess I owe you $1500."
"Don't worry. By the end of the week, you'll see it was worth every penny." Zeke held out his hand.
John shook his hand and smiled. "I'll hold you to it."
That day, I made a few fans, over 1000 bucks, some dueling experience and a new friend. And this only the start of my adventures to come.
Today's Featured cards are: Colossal Fighter, Machina Armored Unit, Torapart, Burning Fighting Spirit and Genex Ally Triforce.
