Hello. This is my second fanfiction based on the popular Yu-Gi-Oh series! All the characters will be OC, with new cards and some real ones based on the anime, TCG/OCG, and more. Yu-Gi-Oh is owned by Konami, so this is fanfiction! I hope some of you will find this enjoyable and even post some reviews. Thank you and let's begin! By the way, this story is a spiritual successor to Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V, but I decided to put it here since this is the most popular category for all things Yu-G-Oh, according to number of fanfiction works.
Yu-Gi-Oh Mirror
Chapter 1-The New Hero, Yusuke Kagami
"Oh crap! I'm late for school…again!" A young boy yelled as he ran as fast as he can.
Other people watched him as he passed by. The boy looked like a 15 year old. His hair was blue, with two skinny, cyan strands sticking out on the front, barely touching either side of his eyes. His eye color was shade of dark sapphire. He wore a traditional black school uniform, something you would see in an anime. His bag was also something you also would see in school anime.
"Man! I really should get a new alarm clock! Or, maybe I should just wake up earlier. It doesn't matter. At least, I can get some exercise by running like this. Hah ha ha!" He laughed, just about the time the school bell rang.
"Mr. Kagami! You're late again!" A teacher yelled at him, who was a woman with purple hair, bun-style, looked around mid-twenty, and wore purple glasses.
"Sorry, Ms. Sato. I promised to come to class early next time." The boy apologized to her.
"No excuse, young man! That is the 3rd time this week, and 24th time this month! Your punishment is to stand in the hallway, holding these two buckets full of water! I want you to think of your action, young man." She scolded as his classmates chuckled at him. However, one female student sighed. This girl was his friend, Haruka Blossom.
"Oh man." He moaned, standing in the hallway as he was holding the buckets. "Man, these buckets are so heavy like stone!"
This young student is Yusuke Kagami. He is kind-hearted person, but can be kind of…goofy, you can say, but he is funny guy. He loves to just express himself, which is his core belief in life.
"That's right." He nodded to the invisible narrator.
Yusuke is the main hero of this story. He will actually become more mature and cooler when he…oh sorry, I was getting ahead of myself. Let's stay with what's going on right now.
After his punishment and some classes, lunch time began. Yusuke, although goofy kid he is (Hey! I am not a kid!), is also hard-working guy. He may not be that academic-wise (Are you calling me dumb!?), but he's good at physical labor. He was now wiping the floor and cleaning the windows with some of his classmates, including his childhood friend, Haruka.
"Hey, Yusuke. Why are you late all the time?" She asked.
"You and I know the answer to that. Well, yesterday I was doing a night-shift at my grandpa's antics store. He is worried about the recent burglary incidents that have been occurring in this town, you know." Yusuke explained.
After the daily clean-up jobs, Yusuke and Haruka went outside to eat their lunch. The school they go to was a big one; 4 floors, wide and open backyard with pool, garden, and soccer field. Just across the street, there were baseball fields and next to the school was a gymnasium for basketball and volleyball.
They opened up their lunch boxes. "Sweet! Rice balls!" Yusuke's mouth was streaming a waterfall of saliva.
"Yusuke! Remember your manner!" Haruka whispered to him.
"Sorry." He said as he began munching the rice balls as he was enjoying them.
While they were eating, they noticed something was going on. There were three boys bullying a younger, shorter boy with blue hat.
"Hey. What's going on over there?" Haruka questioned.
"It looks like trouble." Yusuke pointed out.
"Hey, key! Why won't you hang with us?" The bully asked.
"I…I just don't feel like it, that's all." The little boy replied nervously.
"Come on. We will have a lot of fun if you hang with us." The other bully snickered.
"Those three, they are the bully trio from the senior class. Man, I hate guys who picked on other people. It is just un-right!" Haruka complained.
Yusuke stepped into the situation. "Hey, guys."
The bullies turned to their shoulder with bad facial expression on each of their face.
"Huh? What do you want, freshy? Can't you see where in the middle of something here?" One of the bullies stated in a serious tone.
"Sorry that I interrupt you, guys, but the way you are asking that boy to hang with you guys is just not right, you know." Yusuke explained.
"Huh? What are you? Are you our teacher or something!?" The other one felt offended.
"Naw. I don't even have a Ph.D. in teaching, anyway!" Yusuke joked, making himself laugh.
"Oh, funny guy, eh? How about I will beat you up, son!" The middle bully, who appeared to be the leader, grabbed Yusuke by his neck sleeves.
Haruka and the little boy gasped as the situation were becoming ugly. Yusuke eyed on the bully's bracelet that he was wearing. "Hey, is that a D-Ring?"
"Huh? Yeah. What about it?" The bully questioned.
"That means you can Duel. Sweet! Let's Duel!" Yusuke decided, presenting an excitement in his eyes.
"Huh? Why would I want to Duel against you, freshy?" He asked.
"If we Duel, and you win, I will….give you my card. But, if I win, you leave that kid alone. Deal?" Yusuke said.
"Yusuke! What are you thinking!?" Haruka gasped.
The leader bully let him go, pondering with his arms on his chin. "…Sure. That sounds like a good idea, freshy! Prepare yourself for this!"
About a minute, Yusuke and the leader bully stood parallel from each in the field as Haruka, his bully friends, the little boy, and the other students watched them to start the Duel.
"D-Ring, activate!" The bully said as he pressed a red button in the center of the bracelet. Suddenly, it transformed into a Duel Disk, attaching itself to his arm, fitted with his size.
"Let's do this thing! D-Ring, activate!" Yusuke said as he made his pose. His D-Ring, which was blue, transformed into a Duel Disk with same color.
Strange waves signaled out from each Duel Disk. "Searching for nearby Duelist. Duelist found. Wave Field activated. Dueling commence!" Both Duel Disks said in a computerized voice.
Yusuke vs. The Bully, Brolly: 4000 LP (Hey! Why do I have the title "Bully" with my name on the screen!?")
"What's wrong, dude?" Yusuke worried.
"Huh!? Nothing! And I am not your dude, dude!" He mocked back at Yusuke.
They both drew their 5 cards. To explain little bit of what's going on, they are now Dueling as you can see. In this world and time of age, people can use the newest wearable technology called "D-Ring" to Duel with others. Personally, I like to call it D-Bracelet, but whatever. Anyway, D-Ring is the newest wearable technology that emits a new kind of electromagnetic wave that was discovered long time ago. If you know your electromagnetic spectrum, you know about gamma-ray, X-ray, and visible light, but this new wave, which the public called D-Wave in simple, everyday English (or Japanese), is used to create a holographic field where Duelists can summon their monsters and activate Spell and Trap cards in the real world. It is very neat technology!
"You can go first, Brolly." Yusuke allowed.
"Thanks, but you will regret it, freshy! I will go first!" He drew a card.
"Hey! Don't Duelist who goes first doesn't draw a card?" Yusuke questioned.
"Who says we need to follow the rules! I am going my own way!" Brolly exclaimed. "I will Normal Summon Battleguard #3 to my side of the field!"
A blue-skinned, barbaric ogle monster roared as it appeared in the field.
"Wow! That monster looks ferocious, but awesome!" Yusuke was very excited.
"I activate his effect! When he is Normal Summoned, I get to Special Summon Battleguard #4 from my hand!" He stated as he placed another monster. This one was orange-skinned with 1200 ATK.
"Cool!"
"I set one card, and end my turn. Now, it is your turn, freshy, but I bet you can't do anything to destroy both my monsters since we can only Normal Summon 1 monster each turn!"
"OK. Here I go!" Yusuke drew his card. He analyzed his cards, including the one he drew and decide to go with one. "I Normal Summon my monster! Go, Battle Gargoyle!"
This new monster is a dark lime-green skinned gargoyle with glowing red eyes. Its right arm was covered with metal armor and sharp claw at the end where its hand is. It had wings like what all gargoyles have. It roared definitively with 1600 ATK.
Battle Gargoyle-DARK, Level 4, Beast-Warrior/Effect, 1600 ATK, 1000 DEF
"Now, it is time to battle! I declare Battle Gargoyle to attack!" His gargoyle flied up into the air, and air strike down on Battleguard #3. "At this point of the Battle Phase, I activate my monster's effect! When he attacks, he gains 500 ATK, increasing to 2100 ATK!"
Red aura surrounded his monster's body, increasing its measly 1600 to 2100 ATK points.
Brolly smirked, which Haruka caught his smirking. "Wait! Hold on a second, Yusuke!"
"Trap card, open! Battleguard Howling!" A trap card was flipped up, revealing itself.
"Oh! So that was a Trap card." Yusuke awed.
"That's right! When this Trap is activated, I target that attacking monster and return that monster to the owner's hand!"
The Trap emitted a pink aura onto Battleguard #3, which made it roared at Battle Gargoyle, causing him to disappear and returned to Yusuke's hand.
"Then, you gain damage equals that monster's ATK!" Suddenly, electricity emitted from the Trap card, shocking Yusuke badly.
"Yiiiiiiikes!" He got shocked.
Yusuke's LP: 1900.
After that was over, Yusuke breathed in and out to relax before he stood up with a smile. "That was a nice move there! Dueling is so much fun with surprises like that!"
Brolly felt furious. "What the heck is matter with you!? You're supposed to cry in pain! Not enjoying it!"
"So, what? I am only having fun, don't you?" He questioned with a wink.
"Shut up! Just finish your turn already, so I can finish you!" Brolly said anxiously.
"OK. I set one card. End my turn." Yusuke finished.
"This is just bad. He's going to get creamed by Brolly's two monsters!" The little boy cried.
Other students whispered, and some of them nodded, already feeling bad for Yusuke.
"This is the end of you! I draw and declare both my monsters to attack!" Both of his Battleguard leaped as they were about to land on Yusuke.
"Not so fast! I activate my Trap card, Negate Attack!" His Trap flipped up, blocking and forcing Brolly's monsters to bounce back to his side.
"Crap, but this is not over! I play the Ritual Spell: Battleguard Offering Dance!" This Spell depicted four Battleguard monsters dancing around a fire. "With this Spell, I tribute my monsters to summon a Ritual monster from my hand, with combined Levels equal to that Ritual monster's Level!"
Suddenly, the same fire appeared, and his two Battleguard began dancing around it like if they were chanting something.
"Ritual Spell?" Yusuke pondered out loud. "That means…you're going to perform Ritual Summoning!"
Brolly ignored Yusuke's jolly comment. "The great Battleguard, hear my wish! I offer you my two monsters to bring you and smash this loser! Ritual Summon!"
His two Battleguard jumped into the fire, causing to grow bigger before strange light emanated from within. A giant ogre with huge white horns like a devil appeared out of the light. It carried a giant mallet, and wore armor made up of bones and skulls. It revealed two sharp fangs upward from the bottom part of the mouth. It had a glowing orange eye.
"Meet my strongest monster! Battleguard Skull Crusher!" It gave a definitive roar, enough for all the birds to fly away.
Battleguard Skull Crusher-EARTH, Level 7, Beast-Warrior/Ritual/Effect, ATK 2800, 2000 DEF
"That thing is huge! It is tall as our school building!" Yusuke awed.
"Now you will feel pain, freshy! I activate my monster's effect! When he is Ritual Summoned using Battleguard monsters, he inflicts 500 points of damage each! Since I used two Battleguard monsters to summon this guy, you get 1000 points of effect damage!"
His Ritual monster pummeled Yusuke with his mallet. Yusuke dodged away just before it hit on the ground, causing a big shake like an earthquake.
Yusuke's LP: 900
"You're over, freshy! There is no way you can beat my monster! On my next turn, you're finished!" Brolly stated as he laughed like an evil scientist.
