Yugioh: Have faith in Kuriboh!
Chapter 1: What a world we live in
It was just a normal afternoon; well at least I thought it would be. I was just walking home from school, but then a bunch of gangsters ambushed me…
Gangster 1: Hey kid! What's in your bag?
Me: N-Nothing… Just books, pencils, and all that kind of stuff…
*Gangster 2 grabs and rips off my backpack*
Gangster 2: Let's have a lookie at what's in heeeere hehehe… Aww man, nothing but books… and pencils...
Me: Hey give it back you bast**ds!
Gangster 3: Ohhhh! What the F**K did this kid just say! Tough guy now huh?
Gangster 1: We're gonna mess you up big time kid!
As the 3 gangsters approach me, itching to take my life, an angel appears and saves me… Well, not really an angel, but a friend.
Me: Rika!
Rika: Don't worry Ronnie! I've got my duel disk with me… *sinister grin*
Actually my name is Ron, but my friend Rika calls me Ronnie. In this world, a duel disk is more than just for play. If tuned and adjusted illegally, its holograms can be set to lethal mode. Not enough to die, but enough to cause severe pain!
Rika: I activate Power Bond to fuse my three Cyber Dragons from my hand to summon Cyber End Dragon!
Three cyber dragons emerge from the ground, then twists into a fusion spiral and out bursts a gigantic Cyber End Dragon with 8000 attack points. Rika's smirk grows wider as she sees the deadly potential within her hand.
Rika: Next I activate Limiter Removal! This doubles my Cyber End Dragon's attack to 16000!
Gangster 3: Ohhh sh*t!
Rika: Cyber End Dragon! Cybernetic blast! Hahahahahahaha!
An enormous thunder of light strikes and sends a shockwave throughout the field, electrocuting both the gangsters and me!
Rika: Oh I'm so sorry Ronnie! Didn't mean to get you too!
After the painful attack, the gangsters hurriedly ran away, fearing the dangers of a modified duel disk. The gangsters were strong, so they survived the attack, but as for me, it feels like I've just stared point-blank at a TV screen for a long time and now I'm seeing stars everywhere.
Ron: Rika… Can you drag me home? I don't think I can keep my balance with all these stars everywhere.
Rika: Oh Ronnie, sure thing!
Ron: By the way, thanks. It would have been much worse if you hadn't been there to save me.
Rika: Ronnie, maybe you should get a modified duel disk, it works quite nicely against wannabe gangsters!
Ron: Nah, dueling is such a drag. I just don't seem to have any interest in it.
Rika: Well in that case Ronnie, you could always count on me… I'll be charging you 5 dollars for my services!
Ron: Wait! Come on, you're my friend!
Rika: It's a life risking job to defend the poor defenseless souls from vicious villains! Money is the least I ask for. So remember to pay up tomorrow!
Ron: Aw dammit! Fine I'll get a modified duel disk and learn how to duel…
And so, I've finally been convinced to learn how to play Duel Monsters. I will learn it for self-defense, but perhaps, it might become more than just that.
