It was a clear summer day in Maiami city, my younger brother Yuya who is about 2 years younger starts school later this year in the fall , but he is already being bullied , the same did happen to me a short time later because our father is Yusho Sakaki a pioneer of the current action duel. Yuya dreams of being a entertainment duelist like his father , I on the other hand dreams of being a pro duelist.
The insults continued for a time but eventually stopped since I one time defeat one person bullying me in a duel severely. I had not made any friends yet and nether had Yuya for different reasons. People only wanted to be friends with me because I never lost a single duel , I did not want to get involved with people who are just going to use me.
I also find out that no one in the city can see spirits not even my brother. I thought this pendent given to us can help with it but I was wrong. Both pendents were extremely different from each other. Yuya had a light blue crystal with two silver feathered wings that wrapped around it similar to angel wings. Mine was a darker shade of blue almost black like the midnight sky that had gold wings that wrapped around the crystal but looked like the wings of a demon. I never understood this.
I was walking to the daycare behind my father to pick up my brother, we were a bit late since the sky was turning orange so we know it was close to dusk. My thoughts were then interrupted from what had sounded to be sobbing meaning Yuya had been picked on again. I moved next to dad to see Yuya sitting on a block overlooking the river. He had bruises covering his arms and legs and his goggles were over his eyes meaning he was trying to hide his tears. I clench a fist at the sight. My brother should not be treated this way just because he wants to be like his father.
Dad then motioned me to calm down my eyes must had changed, he had found out over the years that me and Yuya had some kinda power in us but never said anything about it , apparently I show more of this power. So he had shown me how to control it to draw the cards I needed during a duel. I then take a deep breath while , he then moves up to Yuya and moves his goggles off his face lots of tears fell into the river meaning he had been crying a lot.
Yuya then rubs his eyes and looks at dad. " when you feel like crying laugh , let out the biggest laugh you can muster "
What he said next confused me " conceal your emotions , don't feel it." It then hit me Yusho knows strong emotions trigger our powers and is now trying to do the same to Yuya. He then takes the pendent from Yuya and swings it " just like the pendulum the more you push the more it comes back , you cannot do anything if you are frozen in fear , so have courage and step forward if you want to win. When you feel lost this pendulum will show you the way. "
On the way home Yuya talks to his brother Ryuu " hey big brother. "
He then turns to Yuya " Yeah ? "
" I been practicing with the cards you and dad got me but I still cannot win. "
" That is because you have to learn to adapt , there are many ways to win you just have to find them furthermore there are also other ways to summon a monster , this is something you have to learn to do on your own and develop your own style. "
Yuya responds that dad can still win without using an extra deck. Ryuu can see it in his father's eyes that he was thinking otherwise. Yuya then proposes a duel with his brother . Yusho then sighs and calls out to his youngest son " you can do this , try to surprise me and your brother. "
The two boys then shouted in unison after they activated their duel disks... " Duel "
