Note from the Author: It seems that a lot of people liked the first chapter so I thought that hell, I'd keep going and make it much more interesting for everyone. Right here is the second chapter in which we witness the first duel of the story. Though the FOP characters will be in character, I will be having them attain similarities to Yu-Gi-Oh!/GX characters to make the story very interesting. Without further ado, here's Chapter 2 of our story and this will be a two-parter since I thought that two parts are better than one. Enjoy. Oh, and this takes place with FOP and the real world meaning that life is normal.

Chapter 2 – Timmy's First Duel Part One
One week later… September 11th, 2002
One week has passed since the craze of Duel Monsters has hit Dimmsdale, California and the United States. Timmy Turner who is now in the possession of a strange and mysterious deck yearns to seek for a first duel against an opponent. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the popular kids getting their hands on every card they can attain not many kids own Duel Monsters cards. A new school year has begun as the students of Dimmsdale Elementary were heading to new grades and new paths.
But on this faithful day, Timmy would soon encounter his first opponent in the most unexpected of places; Dimmsdale Elementary. It all began on that very morning of September 9th, 2002 where the first day of the new school year has begun. Timmy with his friends Chester, AJ and Tootie had already entered the school bus and they were in their seats. But when the bus stopped, the bus driver began to prepare the popular kids' entrance.
"Boys and girls of the school bus, please make way for Trixie Tang and the rest of her popular gang. Stand back and prepare for submission." The bus driver said as the four popular kids appeared and made their entrance with Trixie's long hair rose upwards and her eyes seeing the entire crowd.
The kids began submitting and says 'We're not worthy' while Timmy and his friends decided to be silent and not pay attention to the populars as they took their seats. It caught Trixie's eyes and knew that someone was ignoring her for in this case, she won't stand Timmy's ignorance.
"Why aren't you preparing for submission like everyone else?" Trixie spoke as her words caught Timmy's eye.
"I don't know. Maybe I just don't feel like doing anything you say that's all." Timmy replied as he kept a calm look in his eyes which made Trixie's eyes twitch a bit.
"Come on, Turner. Make it easy to yourself and just submit to her. Besides, you are of lower-class and you should obey the upper-class especially us." Tad spoke but Timmy still didn't want to submit making all of the populars angry in disgust.
It was then Trixie came up to Timmy's face and using all the strength she had in her, lifted her arm and was going to slap him. But as she was about to slap him, someone grabbed her hand preventing Timmy from experience a slap that would be heard around the bus. Trixie and the others looked to see who grabbed her hand and it turned out to be Tootie. She had a look in her eyes knowing that she wouldn't tolerate Trixie's attitude.
"Excuse me but I believe that you have no right to hurt another person… especially someone like him." Tootie spoke as she let go of Trixie's arm and the both of them looked at each other with different looks in their eyes.
"Listen you little brat, if you know what's good for you then I suggest you move out of the way. Otherwise, I'll take great pleasue in having you stomped flat." Trixie replied as she looked at Tootie with anger inside.
That didn't mean a thing as in just a split second, Tootie made the first move by giving Trixie a serious bitch slap. The slap triggered intensity as it then escalated into a slaping frenzy between the two girls. Fortunately, Tootie had given more slaps than she did but if it did kept going it would have been much worse. By the time the school bus reached Dimmsdale Elementary, all the kids got out of the bus followed by the popular kids who had to take Trixie to the nurse. Afterwards, Timmy and his friends came by seeing how surprised that denying submission would escalate to this.
"Whoa… who'd have thought something that the populars would normally see would wind up like this. Thanks for saving me, Tootie." Timmy said as he blushed a bit.
"Don't mention it, Timmy. Besides, I've always wanted to get my hands on that creep. Looks like a slap was all I needed wasn't it?" Tootie replied as she felt her cheek knowing that she got slapped by Trixie.
"I think we should head to class before those populars decide to make that little stunt a worse-case scenario." AJ spoke as the others instantly approved.
They went to class without wasting time and fortunately they made it and took their seats. As they look around, Timmy sees many kids he never knew and some he already recognize. Some "hellos" and "his" were exchanged but that soon ended when a teacher appeared in the door. The teacher was an adult, light-skinned and has short blonde hair. He wore a business suit comprised of khaki in his pants and jacket and a white shirt which he has a tie. He had a briefcase in his hand knowing what was contained inside were teacher's material.
"Ahem… sorry to intrude but welcome to the 6th grade. My name is Mr. Banner and I will be your teacher for the rest of the semester. If you are wondering about your previous teacher Mr. Crocker, I suggest you shouldn't. Recently, his teaching license has been expired but due to recent events he will not be teaching this year. Let us begin by writing a one paragraph essay telling me about yourselves. You have approximately 20 minutes so I suggest you get to it." Mr. Banner spoke as he passed out pieces of paper to the students.
He then looked around and noticed that some students were not in the classrom. Those absences were brought into question as he then decided to speak to the kids about it.
"Excuse me but there are four students missing… where are Trixie Tang, Veronica Star, Tad Thompson and Chad Chet?" the teacher said in which one of the students quickly replied.
"Mr. Banner, I believe they may be at the nurse's office I think. They are tending to one of the students who had gotten hurt somehow." Timmy replied in which the teacher decided to head to the nurse's office.
When he got there, he saw three of the four popular kids tending to Trixie's injuries as the result of a catfight. Mr. Banner looked at them with a stern look in his eyes and saw this as a way to be out of the class.
"Excuse me… should you be in class instead of tending to your friend?" Mr. Banner spoke in which Tad, Chad and Veronica were caught by surprise out of class just to tend to a friend.
"Oh crud… Mr.Banner, we didn't realize you'd be here." Tad replied in which he became nervous for who knows what the teacher would do.
"Alright. Tad Thompson, Chad Chet and Veronica Star… please report to the classroom immediately. As for you Trixie Tang, I wish to see you after class. Now get to it." The teacher spoke in a stern fashion and the three populars took their bookbags, left the nurse's office and went to the classroom.
Trixie Tang was all by her lonesome as she tried to tend to her own injuries but not before the nurse came by and decided to take care of it her way. Meanwhile, the students were continuing to write what was needed as part of their current assignment. With everything quiet, it was then that the teacher and the three populars arrived which calmed the quietness in the room. The populars took their seats and class resumed.
"Tad, Chad, Veronica… I will like for you to write a one-paragraph essay about yourselves as part of today's assignment. Also, I wish to speak to you three after class as well for in regards to you being late. Huh?" Mr. Banner spoke in which he then looked down and saw a paper already done by Timmy Turner.
He sat down and took a look at it hoping that it would get to notice Timmy better. He then smiled seeing that he was interested in it but couldn't get into it just yet for he had to check the other kids. Before he did, the bell rang and that signaled the end of the 1st period of class.
"Alright everyone. That's the end of the 1st period. You may have a 5-minute break before the 2nd period begins." Mr. Banner spoke as the kids talked for a bit and did different things.
Timmy went off to the boys' bathroom in hopes that he would have some private time. Though he did, he knew that someone else was in the bathroom and it was someone that he didn't like very much.
"I hope you are happy, Timmy Turner... you should have submitted to Trixie but your big mouth and your geeky girlfriend had to ruin everything." Tad said as he was also using the restroom.
"You brought it all to yourself and besides… seeing Trixie get slapped by Tootie is something. But to let you know, Tootie's not my girlfriend… she's my friend." Timmy replied as he finished up.
"Then if she's your friend, why the heck she saved your keister from Trixie's rich slap to the face?" Tad spoke in which he wondered.
"That's something even I wonder but I ain't gonna deal with it anyway. Besides, I think you should focus on what's gonna happen after class." Timmy replied as he watched his hands and left the bathroom leaving Tad to wonder what he meant.
A few minutes had passed and Trixie eventually arrived at the classrom with a pack of ice on her cheek as a result of the slapfight that occurred between her and Tootie. Class resumed as Mr. Banner began explaining some of the many things that he would cover throughout the semester such as mathematics, history and reading. All the students became aware of what to expect and what the teacher will and will not tolerate. So basically, since it was the first day of school the teacher had to explain what will happen as the days and weeks following on this semester. Soon enough, the bell rang and that meant the signal of break time.
"Alright everyone. It's lunch time… I will see you after recess." Mr. Banner spoke as the students took their books and went out of the classroom.
Once he saw the students head out of the classroom, he begins to see that it was gonna be something that he would definitely enjoy much less have to work through. He took a deep breath and sat down seeing that this was gonna be a first for him. Meanwhile, Timmy was going to his locker and putting his books away but not before the populars came by with some words on their minds.
"You seem to have a way with humiliating us Timmy. Don't tell me your opinion on us have changed over the past year." Tad spoke as all four populars had looks of anger on their eyes especially Trixie who still had the ice pack near her cheek.
"It has… either the fact that that you guys are still snobs or the fact that you guys still don't know when to stop being show-offs." Timmy replied as he closed his locker having a stern look seeing that he was expecting a fight from them.
Both sides had that stern look waiting for the other to make a move however it was one against four which definitely wasn't a good sign for the bucktoothed paisano. Instead, an idea came out of nowhere from a very unexpected source… in this case, a young boy who had a boil on his face. He had hair that was ruby red and wore glasses as well, wore a casual school outfit but what made him different than the other students was of his boil on his right cheek.
"Uh I have an idea… instead of having a fight here, why can't you just have a duel? It's better than having to serve detention anyway." The boy said as both sides looked on seeing this as an opportunity to settle their differences.
"The geek with the boil got a point there. I guess we won't mind if we have a duel going on will we?" Tad replied as Timmy nodded in approval accepting his offer.
"I'll take your challenge. Besides, if there's anything I know from you snobs it's that you have a way with showing off and I think this duel is no exception." Timmy spoke in which what he said angered Tad greatly.
"Enough of this… we're gonna settle this at the lunchroom. You have approximately 20 minutes to prepare your deck. When that time comes, I won't show you any mercy and besides… you will suffer for this." Tad replied as the populars turned around and headed for the lunchroom.
All Timmy can do was look seeing that he was going to be up against a very formidable foe. Timmy's friends then came by and after overhearing what happened, they realize that this was gonna be a big event. The lunchroom was gathering with kids as word of the duel was spreading like wildfire. In a private section of the lunchroom laid the popular table where all four popular kids were busy discussing what would happen today. In this case, it would be a duel between the upper class versus the lower class.
"Well Tad… I see that you are excited for your duel against that bucktoothed brat. You have a plan?" Chad said as Tad went through his deck to see that all his cards are needed for this battle.
"Yes, I have a plan set in motion. Whatever that poor fool has is nothing… nothing compared to the strength of my deck." Tad replied as he finished checking and got his deck together and set.
"Good. The sooner you beat that little punk, the sooner he bows down to us and submit that we are better and more superior than everyone in the school." Trixie spoke as she was doing her fingernails watching what was taking place.
All Veronica can do was watch and she didn't say a word either knowing that what she said would only lead to some ignorance. Tad had a determined smile on his face knowing that if he would win this duel it would mean that the popular kids would still be superior over ther other students. On the other side however, Timmy was looking at the strange deck box that he had gotten a week ago for knowing what was inside had a funny feeling sensing that he would have the perfect opportunity to unleash it.
"Hey Timmy, don't tell me you are nervous or anything are you? This is a big event we are talking about here. You going one-on-one against one of the four popular kids. Is everything alright?" Chester said as he saw Timmy still looking at that deck box as if he was possessed.
"Huh? Yeah, I am alright. It's that this is the first time I ever use this deck… I don't know what to do though." Timmy replied as he didn't have a clue what to do with the deck box that he had kept closed for almost a week.
"Well fortunately, I hear that your opponent will be having a Duel Disk which was something that Seto Kaiba, Chairman of the Kaiba Corporation developed these as a promotion for the Battle City tournament. Since then, they have been used as gear that duelists used whenever they want to battle." AJ spoke in which Timmy understood all about the Duel Disk.
"They were able to get their hands on it because they are rich. I don't even own a Duel Disk much less something that can help me with this battle." Timmy replied as he continued looking at it while biting on an apple.
"In the Battle City tournament, those Duel Disks can only be given to duelists who would compete in the tournament. Now it had came and gone so now anyone can get a duel disk as long as they have a deck. Fortunately, you have a deck and I have this for you." AJ spoke as he brought out a black suitcase which was somehow from KaibaCorp.
When he opened it up, it was there that it was a Duel Disk but it was of a second generation model meaning that it would be used for upcoming students that would be heading to Duel Academy, a school where duelists would be educated in the hopes of becoming professional duelists set for the Pro League. Timmy can only look in shock considering of the incredibility of that item such as this.
"I may not know much about dueling but considering I'm a genius and that I have contributed a lot to the world of technology, I received a letter from Kaiba saying that this is something to express his gratitude since I contributed to the development of the Duel Disk system. I was shocked to see that I had gotten a second-generation Duel Disk but knowing that I am not good at dueling, I feel that it is better that this item should be in your hands." AJ said as he gave the suitcase to Timmy and without hesitation, he put the Duel Disk on his left arm.
He then opened the deck box and the deck showed some sort of aura signifying its great power. Timmy took the deck and placed it on the deck slot of the Duel Disk. With that, the lifepoint counter showed the starting amount: 4000. Looking at the other side of the lunchroom, he was ready for battle against his opponent. Timmy then got up and kids began moving lunchtables gearing up space for the inevitable battle. His opponent got up from the popular table and stood on the other end. Both sides got ready as they had trash-talking in their minds and quickness in their hearts.
"Well Turner, it seems you've gotten your hands on a Duel Disk. Impressive… but that won't make any difference to what I have in store." Tad spoke as he took something out of his jacket.
He took out his dueling deck and placed it on his deck slot in his Duel Disk. Both of their Duel Disks immediately powered on as the crowd became silent seeing what would take place. Timmy and Tad drew five cards from their respective decks as their starting hands gearing up for battle.
"I applaud you Tad for finally having the courage to step up and take me on without the need of your so-called sidekicks." Timmy said (Hand: 5, LifePoints: 4000) as he had a cocky smile on his face.
"I figured if I humiliate you in front of your so-called friends and the girl you so idolize, the rest will feel our wrath." Tad replied (Hand: 5, LifePoints: 4000) as his face was stern… stern and stone.
"That doesn't impress me one bit. Besides, I'm geared up… geared up to get my game on. Get ready to game on!!" Timmy shouted as the duel instantly began without hesitation.
The kids cheered from the sidelines waiting for the anticipation of what was to unfold. Timmy decided to go first in this duel just as what Tad and the populars had hoped for. Timmy drew his first card giving him a total of six gearing up for what could be… a battle between two worlds.
"I'll go first with this duel… and for starters, I begin by setting two cards face-down on the field. Next, I play my Elemental Hero Clayman (ATK: 800/DEF: 2000) in defensive position." Timmy said (Hand: 3) as he summoned a monster to the field along with providing some defensive protection.
The monster appeared as an Earth-based warrior bulked up as a giant entering a defensive pose. Timmy smiled seeing that he had started his first turn but his opponent was just waiting to make an opportunity.
"Decided to defend eh? Okay, time now for me to make my move. I set one card face-down and I summon my Breaker the Magical Warrior (ATK: 1600/DEF: 1800) in attack position." Tad (Hand: 4) spoke in which he summoned his own monster.
A magician covered in red attire appeared on the field armed with a sword and shield that would be used for close range combat. The sword's center jewel began to glow resulting a Spell counter and an attack increase (ATK: 1900, Spell Counter: 1). Tad saw it as an opportunity to attack but he had other plans.
"I activate the special ability of my Breaker the Magical Warrior and it works like this. By removing the only Spell counter that it has on him, I can destroy any Spell or Trap card on the field and I choose… that one. Go Breaker, activate your special ability now… use Breaker Wave!" Tad shouted as his monster activated its special effect.
Breaker gathered energy in the sword, lifted it up high and then unleashed a powerful sonic wave striking one of Timmy's face-down cards. One of the cards revealed to be a Mirror Gate (Trap Card) and knew that an obstacle was out of the way though Breaker's power was a different case (Breaker's ATK: 1600, Spell Counter: 0).
"So that card was a Mirror Gate huh? Oh well… at least you won't be using that anytime soon. Time for me to play my Magic Formula (Spell Card) and with it, I can boost my Breaker's attack strength by 500." Tad (Hand: 3) spoke as he activated an equip spell card causing a magical textbook to emerge out of nowhere.
Breaker grabbed it and began learning all about what the book contained while in the process caused its strength to increase (Breaker's ATK: 2100). Tad smiled seeing that he has a strong monster but he had no clue what his opponent had planned.
"Time to battle! Breaker the Magical Warrior attack his Hero Clayman now! Breaker Slash!" Tad shouted as his monster made the attack.
Breaker went high into the air, lifted its sword high and unleashed an energetic wave aiming straight for Clayman. But before the attack could make its mark, Timmy had a surprise up his sleeves… and it would be a surprise that would save him greatly.
"Not so fast, boy. I reveal my face down trap… Hero Ring (Trap Card). This works on an Elemental Hero monster whose attack strength is less than 1900. It has the ability to make any of my Heroes immune to monsters that have more than 1900 attack points. In this case, I equip it to my Clayman." Timmy spoke in which the trap took full effect.
The trap card took the form of a small red shield in which the Hero Clayman easily held onto. Breaker's attack hit the shield and the attack was immediately absorbed into the item. Tad can only look in shock as his attack turned out to be a waste.
"No way! That trap now makes him invincible to any attack… with a defense point of 2000 and that trap, he's invincible. Fine… I end my turn now." Tad replied in which all he can do was mutter to himself in disgust.
"That was a rough start but it didn't make a difference because now I'm taking over. My draw and I summon my Elemental Hero Sparkman (ATK: 1600/DEF: 1400) in attack mode." Timmy (Hand: 3) spoke in which he brought out a second Elemental Hero to the field.
This monster was different for it had the ability to emit powerful blasts of electricity from its hands knowing for sure that it basically was an electric power generator. It had all the electrical power inside and knew dead well how to use it. Timmy was psyched to find his second Elemental Hero monster appearing on the field but he was gonna need it for battle.
"I'm not done yet. From my hand, I activate the equip spell card Elemental Sword (Spell Card) and I equip it to my Sparkman. This can only be equipped to an Elemental Hero monster for if it battles against a monster that has a different attribute, it gains an 800 point boost so watch and observe." Timmy (Hand: 2) spoke in which he activated an equip spell card.
A small handle appeared that looked like a Star Wars lightsaber rip-off. Hero Sparkman obtains it and then the blade emerged causing Sparkman's attack power to increase significantly (ATK: 2400). With Timmy having a stronger monster on the field, it seemed that the battle would be in his favor.
"Time to battle! Sparkman attack his Breaker the Magical Warrior now! Use Spark Slash!" Timmy shouted as his monster raced straight for Breaker, jumped high into the air and unleashed a strong and powerful slash taking it out instantly.
If that wasn't enough, Tad's lifepoints suffered a decrease as a result of the attack (Tad's lifepoints: 3700). Though Timmy had been able to unleash a powerful strike taking down one of Tad's monsters, the duel was far from done. Fortunately, it was Tad's turn now and seeing what hidden powers that Timmy's deck contained he decided not to take any chances. The question was... what will he unleash on his opponent? Whatever he unleashes will not be an easy task for Timmy will always be ready. The duel between Timmy and Tad… was far from over.
