"My name is Joey Wheeler, the best duellist around. Anyone who disagrees stand up now!"
Yuta, now fourteen was left stunned along with the rest of the class at the loudness of their new student. Joey, who had just been told to introduce himself to the class by the teacher, had instead belted out his own form of introduction and was now smirking smugly.
But then…
"Dream on new kid."
A boy named Ohito spoke up from the rest of the class earning everyone's attention.
"The duellists in this school flatten even the Kids from duel academy. There's Ryoma Kanda from the senior's, and that Kaiba kid from the lower years, and Melody the demon queen from our year. And Yuta over there is pretty good too."
The class began to murmur their agreement with Yuta blushing a bit from having been pointed out, although it was difficult to tell. Yuta looked similar to his grandfather, but his blond fringe covered most of his forehead ad his long bangs curled into his cheeks. His long sleek black hair spiked out at the back reminiscent to sonic the hedge Hog and Golden eyes peeked out from below his fringe.
Joey, who had lost everyone's attention suddenly burst out from the front of the room. "A'right which one of you is Yuta, I'll flatten you. Then I'll go beat them other guys."
Everyone pointed to Yuta after that, who was trying to look as small as possible in his chair.
"Alright, you and me right here and now."
"I think not."
Finally the teacher intervened.
"Now is not the time for duelling. Kindly wait till your lunch hours."
The class, who were looking forward to a good duel and a reason to skip the lesson groaned.
"You're duelling?"
Yuta nodded. He was eating his lunch with his friends Arata and Hannah. They were in a different class, and as he had no real friends of his own back I his own class he usually spent lunch in theirs.
"Right after I finish lunch, I got to be out in front of the school."
"And he said he's going to duel Kanda san afterwards?"
Yuta nodded again. Hannah was silent, staring at Yuta and Arata while they conversed. She added her final contribution to the discussion by pulling a small box from her bag and holding it out to Yuta.
"My deck! Thanks for looking it over Hannah, does it look alright?"
Hannah nodded her head. Although she wasn't talkative she was good at building decks and giving advice on them.
"Great, well I don't want to keep everyone waiting."
Yuta nervously squared off with Joey in front of the school. A large crowd had gathered to watch the new kid get flattened by Yuta, who as far as they were concerned was one of the best duellists in the school. Both duellists drew five cards from their deck.
"Since I'm the challenger I'm going first. I summon luster dragon in attack mode.
The large blue dragon appeared on the field unleashing a mighty roar (1900/1600).
"Next I play a face down card and end my turn."
"My turn."
Yuta drew his card with a childish shyness. I play a face down monster in defence mode and two face down cards.
"Disappointing Yuta kun, I draw."
Joey smirked.
"I summon my red eyes black chick. Then I use his special ability. I can sacrifice him and summon Red eyes black dragon in attack mode."
His summoned egg was immediately replaced by the large black dragon, who fixed Yuta with raging red eyes.
"Next I flip my face down card Dragon's rage. With this my dragons do piercing damage. Now Red eyes attack!"
The dragon hurled a large fire ball from its moth destroying Yuta's face down Crusader of Endymion and inflicting 1200 points of damage.
"Now Luster dragon!"
But Yuta flipped his face down.
I activate the trap card Miracle's Wake. This lets me special summon a monster that was destroyed this turn.
Yuta's crusader revived stopping the second dragon in its wake (1900/1200).
"Tch, saved yourself for now, I end my turn."
Yuta:6800 Joey:8000
Yuta nodded and drew his next card.
"I activate the Arcane Barrier."
The field beneath the two duellists suddenly began to glow green.
"Next I play frequency magician."
The level two tuner appeared on the field.
"A tuner monster," Joey realised instantly what Yuta was up to.
"I synchro summon Explosive magician."
The tuner magician became two rings of green light and the Endymion crusader became four stars eventually forming the Explosive magician (2500/1800).
"Destroy Red-eyes," Yuta shouted. The explosive magician twirled it's staff and soon nothing was left of the red eyes .
"Draw," yelled joey, not waiting for Yuta to confirm the end of his turn. I activate hand destruction. We both ditch two cards then draw two cards."
Joey discarded two cards and Yuta did the same.
"Now I play a face down, put luster dragon in defence and end my turn."
But as Yuta was about to draw Joey's Red-eyes suddenly reappeared on the field.
"Ha, bet you weren't expecting that," Joey smirked, but Yuta just shrugged.
"You probably discarded Red eyes Wyvern with hand destruction," said Yuta. Joey's only response was a scowl and a nod.
"By banishing wyvern in my graveyard Red-eyes comes back to my field."
"Which means that face down must be there to protect him from my Explosive magician." Yuta continued to draw his card. "But what about this? I activate soul taker."
"!"
His mother had used this card to best his monsters several times so eventually Yuta had added one to his deck as well. And whatever plan Joey had in mind proved pointless as his dragon sank back into the ground.
Yuta:6800 Joey:8900
"Soul taker raises your life points by 1000. Now I summon Breaker the magical warrior(1600/1000)."
The magic swordsman appeared on the field to the annoyance of Joey.
"Even without soul taker you couldn't have saved your Red-eyes. When my Breaker is summoned he gains a counter. And I can remove it to destroy a spell or trap on your side of the field."
Yuta removed the counter to destroy Joey's face down.
"Now Explosive magician attacks with explosive illusion."
The magician waved its wand and the Luster dragon shattered.
"Breaker attacks you directly."
The magical warrior lunged forward slashing Joey vertically with its blade.
"I end my turn."
Joey:7300
Joey quickly drew his next card.
"I set one monster and a face down card and then end my turn."
Didn't look like there was much joey could do, so Yuta went straight to drawing his next card.
"I set two more face down cards. Explosive magician attacks." Joey's face down card totem dragon was wiped out.
"Now breaker direct attack."
Once again Joey was slashed.
"Turn end."
Joey drew his next card. And smirked.
"Perfect, I activate dark hole."
The gathering crowd gasped as the large tear in space and time began to form above the field, and Yuta made no attempt to stop it.
"All of your monsters are destroyed."
And so they were.
"Arcane Barrier gains a counter for every card destroyed," Yugi stated.
"Well that won't help you. I activate my face down card birth right. This resurrects my Red-eyes!"
The large black dragon burst back onto the field.
"Now go, crimson fire blast!"
The dragon began to charge its breath attack.
"I activate Miracle restoring."
Yuta countered with a resurrection trap of his own.
I can remove two counters from anywhere on my field, like my arcane barrier, to special summon the dark magician from my graveyard."
The magician burst forth driving the dragon back before it could attack.
"When did that get in your graveyard," cried Joey feeling cheated.
"When you activated hand destruction," Yuta replied calmly with a small smile.
"Damn! I can't keep this thing on my field. Your turn."
Yuta:6800 Joey:5700
Yuta drew.
"I set one card face down, then I equip Dark Magician with mage power. His attack increases by 500 for every spell and trap on my field."
Dark magician's attack shot up to 4500.
"Attack, Dark magic attack!"
The dark Magician unleashed his spell, destroying Joey's Red-eyes.
Joey:3600
"Now I activate another trap card, enlightenment. If I haven't summoned this turn, and one of my spell casters has destroyed one of your monsters, it can attack once again."
Dark magician lost 500 attack points with a card gone from the field, but it was more than enough to take out Joey's remaining points.
"Dark magic attack."
The attack was charged and launched at Joey, catching him dead on and flinging him across the school grounds.
Yuta:6800 Joey:0
In the end Yuta defeated Joey with little effort to the cheers of the roaring crowd. The holograms faded and the crowds dispersed those who were left jeering at the arrogant newcomer who had dared to presume himself above the likes of Yuta and Kanda.
Yuta however only hurried over to the downed duellist and offered him a hand. He was expecting the transfer student to knock his hand away, to scowl at the jeering students. So he was completely surprised when the kid took hold of his hand, and allowed Yuta to haul him up. Joey, now on his feet fixed Yuta with a wide grin.
"Man, you're awesome. I couldn't do anything to you. And to think this Kanda guy is supposed to be even stronger right? And that Melody girl too. This must be a school of duelling gods."
Completely against everyone's expectations Joey seemed fine with his loss and acted completely oblivious to the jeers of the other students. In fact in front of joey's cheerful and energetic response to his loss, Yuta found himself unable to speak.
"There's a tournament soon right, at the park. Are you guys entered? How about Kanda or one of the other ones?"
Yuta nodded.
"Ciel Kaiba is entered into that tournament I think."
"Kaiba? Think I heard my Grandpa talking about someone with that name once. Or twice. Well a lot. Apparently he was a jerk. What about this one?"
"Umm, I think he's okay. He's in the lower year and I haven't really met him but he's popular so I don't think he can be a jerk."
"Cool, I can duel him then. And you're going to be there too right?"
"Ummm…"
Yuta hadn't decided yet if he would go to that tournament. Although he did want to go that day also happened to fall on Arata's birthday, who as far as Yuta knew had never shown as much interest in the game as other people. So he'd been planning to spend the day celebrating Arata's birthday.
"It's my friend's birthday so…"
"What!"
Joey clearly did not like his answer.
"But we got to have a rematch. I'm not leaving things like this. C'mon you got to go!"
Joey sounded like he was on the verge of having a tantrum. Yuta began wishing that there was someone who would come save him.
"Don't worry, I'll make him go."
To Yuta's surprise it was Arata, who scared the living day lights out of Yuta and Joey. For one thing he appeared out of nowhere.
"Gah, a ghost!"
Yuta couldn't really blame Joey for calling Arata a ghost. His hair was white as snow and went down just past his ear covering them. A long section of hair hung low over his face just past the tip of his nose and his fringe almost covered his eyes which were a very emerald green. His skin was the most pale that Yuta had ever seen, and no amount of sunlight seemed to change that. Because of this Arata was used to being mistaken for a ghost and his happy smile didn't leave his face for a second.
"I'm not a ghost Wheeler-kun. My name is Arata Bakura. I am a friend of Yuta's."
Joey seemed to take a second before he could register what he was hearing.
"Not a ghost… what you just die you hair spooky white and appear out of thin to scare the bajeebus outta people?"
"Um, no. Anyway I shall make sure Yuta attends the tournament next week. And I shall enter too since there's not much better to do."
Yuta froze um at Arata's seemingly innocent words. Sure Arata didn't seem to have that much interest in the game and rarely played it. But when he did. Yuta had duelled Arata shortly after meeting him. He vowed never again.
"Cool."
Joey however did not know of the horrors of duelling Arata and seemed quite happy with this outcome.
"Well I'll be going, I got just enough time for one more duel before lunch. I can't establish myself as the best right now, but you just watch. By the end of school this whole place will have heard the name Joey Wheeler."
And with that he bolted.
….
And end. Yay, chapter two done and dusted. I'll hopefully get a few of these out over the coming days. I got practically the whole fic mapped out anyway. It's gotta have been over a year since I wrote the first chapter of this, which I am gonna rewrite and undo all the typo's hopefully. The decks will get better and stronger as the series goes on so keep coming back if you're a player yourself. You might get some ideas.
