Keith and Carmen just walked into the Obelisk blue arena. To Keith surprise he saw a face he did not really want to see. It was Eric and two other boys about the same height as him. Carmen began to walk a bit faster to meet him. Keith was slightly irritated for no specific reason.
"hey bebe! what you doing here?" Eric asked Carmen.
"Oh just about to duel my newest buddy Keith. You met him earlier remember?"
Eric mad a face that showed no respect for Keith. That irritated Keith a little because he did nothing to this guy. "yeah I remember that squirt. Why is he all of the sudden your friend" He replied
"well I wanted to try my deck against his so I was all like 'what the hell' why not get a new friend in the process." Carmen explained. This made Keith feel a little better. But that was soon crushed by what Eric said to her as a response." You made friends with this Ra yellow FRESHMAN! Man you sure know how to pick them huh Carmen." Eric and his two bonehead pals laughed at the response.
"stop being a asshole Eric" Carmen yelled. Keith then walked towards Eric he stood there for a relized he only came to this shoulder but would do fine for what he was about to do.
"Keith...what are you doing?" Carmen asked. She had a small amount of fear. It was only for Keith though. Keith still stood in front of Eric. The two friend scooted closer to the two boys.
"I have done nothing to offend you. I have done nothing to make you angry. So what the hell is your problem with me!"Keith shouted.
Carmen began to walk towards Keith.
"Stop Keith...You don't know Eric like that...Please just stop." she pleaded. Keith did not stand down.
"who the hell do you think you are stepping up to me squirt?" Eric chuckled.
"I think my name is Keith Orlear, and I demand respect from you, you jerk!"
Eric started to turn red. He made a fist and brought his hand up. Keith instantly knew what he about to do...or at least attempt to do. Keith made a fist as well and swung it in to Eric's face. The two boys were shocked and Carmen was even more shocked because he landed the hit. Keith smiled when he saw that he left a bruise on Eric's face. Before he knew it A large fist slammed into his own belly. It was Eric's. This punch knocked the wind out of him. He fell to his knees. The two boys then started laughing. Carmen rushed over to help Keith. Eric was not even mad. He smiled and laughed like the two boys.
"The boy got his huh?" The one of the friends said. The other nodded. Keith got off of his knees. He saw that eric had a trickle of blood come down the side of his mouth. Carmen then set on fire. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU TWO DO THAT TO EACH OTHER! I'VE GOT A GOOD MIND TO PUNCH YOU TWO IN THE FACE FOR BEING SO DAMN STUPID YOU IDIOTS!" Eric was surprised by the out burst. He tried to give her a hug but little Carmen pushed him back with such force it made him fall back. Keith was stunned at the amount of strength she possessed. Keith was still sore from the punch he took but he had enough strength to ask "how did you do that Carmen?"
She anwsered "I'm strong okay!? I just don't look like it or show it."
Keith stood a couple of feet back from her just in case she set off the Eric had his attention on Keith again. He noticed the blood and wiped it off. Then he got up and walked towards Keith. Keith braced himself for another attack when Eric said "That was a nice jab you displayed a moment ago." Keith was still on guard for another hit when he noticed that his duel disk was activated. It was bent a little but still in somewhat good took notice to that and said. "I challenge you to duel Keith. It will be in the honor of my favorite professor you defeated. Do you accept?"
"Ugh...You just knocked the wind out of me and I punched the crap out of you and you want to duel?..Alright lets go!"
Carmen and the two boys toppled over. the soon gained composure. Carmen then realized something."HEY I WAS HIS OPPONENT ERIC! WHAT THE HELL!"She yelled Eric took no mind while grabbing a duel disk out of his backpack that was sitting on the ground. Carmen muttered curses under her breath towards Eric and a few towards Keith.
"So why the sudden change of heart Eric?" Keith asked as the walked on to the arena platform. Keith on the left and Eric on the right. "I just did not want to cave your face in so I figured I could take you down in a fun way. I'm not your friend, do not ever think that I am just a nice person"he replied.
"yeah that the reason why." He thought.
The two duelist inserted their dueling deck into the slot and activated their duel then yelled "DUEL" and drew 5 card.
E:4000
K:4000
"you start us off Eric." Keith said.
"my pleasure dude" he drew his 6TH card."I will start with my Bultivea (1600/1200) in ATK mode." A silver dragon appeared it was about half the height of Eric. "I will end my turn with three face-down cards. Your move."
keith drew his 6 card."Lets go my Diamond spirit (2000/1000)!" a humanoid ghost appeared it had a ring of diamonds surrounding it.
"Awesome monster" Carmen commented. Keith looked at her and nodded. "my monster gives you 500 lifepoints for every monster on the field since it was is 2 so that is 500."
"I know simple math Keith" Eric said
"Well you could have fooled me buddy". Carmen chuckled at the comment. Eric was ready to pounce on Keith.
"Just continue..."Eric snarled.
E:5000
K:4000
"No problem buddy. you won't be thanking me after this. Go my spirit attack bulteava or what ever it's called."
"BULTIVIA! And he is not getting attack by your monster because I activate Dragon's repent. this allows me add Bultivea to my hand and negate your attack by discarding a dragon type monster from my hand." The dragon returned to his hand and the diamond attack was canceled.
"Alright well I will still attack again thanks to my spirits effect which allows him to attack again." A ray of diamonds hit Eric, making him stumble.
E:3000
K:4000
"I will end with 2 face-down cards." He slid 2 more cards into his spell and trap card zone. Eric drew another card. "I will re-summon my bultivea!(1600/1200)" The silver dragon appeared again.
"That again? great not that it can hurt me." Keith snorted.
"That's what you think squirt."Eric retorted. "I play the continuous spell Dragon wings! This gives all dragon type monsters on my field a 700 attack point boost."
"Ouch!" Keith exclaimed. Large wings grew on the dragon increasing it's strength.(2300/1200).
Eric smiled and said "Hey guess what? My card can attack twice as well so lets go. Attack the spirit!" A stream of light ran through the spirit and into Keith. The spirit remained on the field.
"huh?"He asked
"I activated my shield of clear which prevents my monsters destruction this turn."
"Ugh...I can still attack" He announced and another stream ran through the spirit and into Keith.
K:3400
E:3000
Eric then pointed at Keith "Your move." Keith drew a card. "I activate a face-down known as brain control, I'll pay 800 life points and your bultivea is mine for that turn." The brain was very close to taking the monster when a pair of sharp red eyes appeared behind bultivea and the brain was destroyed.
E:3000
K:2600
"What happen to brain control?" Keith asked with confusion.
"I activated Dragon's gaze which negates a spell or trap activation and destroys it as long as I have a dragon on the field." Eric explained.
"damn" Keith thought. "I wasted 800 life points for nothing...Well I gotta make up for those points." He looked at his hand and saw his trusty Diamond revolver spell. he slid it into the duel disk and the revolver appeared in the spirits hand." my equip spell gives my card 500 extra ATK points and the ability to deal battle damage even thought the monster is in DEF also know as piercing damage."
"He used that card during his duel with professor Misawa. It's a good card in this situation right now." Carmen thought Especially now with his spirits special ability to attack twice in a battle phase. Man he is either at skillful or lucky duelist." she finished.
" Now you may have a spark of deja vu here but I summon Diamond eye(900/800)." The eye with shards of diamonds as it iris appeared
"He also used that card in the duel!" Carmen and Eric exclaimed.
"Yep i did use it. I'll use it again! Go switch his monster to DEF!'
"No!" yelled Eric as his monster was switched into DEF mode. (1200/2300).
"I will now attack your dragon with my Diamond spirit!" The spirit released another storm of diamond shards. Eric grunted as his monster was destroyed
K:2600
E:1700
After the attack a face-down activated on Eric's field. "I activate Dragon's bond which allows me to special summon a level 4 or lower dragon type monster from my deck since you destroyed a dragon on my field. I choose my Luster dragon #1! (2600/1600)" A dragon that shined a ridiculous amount appeared with much larger wings then it regularly should have thanks to Dragon wings.
"Now you cannot attack more because my card is alot stronger then any of your monsters. Now you finished?"
"I set a card face-down and end my turn."
" I draw. you are a good duelist you know most people cannot bring me down this low." Eric stated
"I have brought you down that low Eric..." Carmen added. " I have also beaten you as well" she continued. she and Keith shared a small laugh.
"ha ha ha" Eric mocked. "You were the only one and will be the only one to ever had defeated me. Now lets continue. I summon my Crow Dragon(2100/1200)." A bird like dragon appeared on the field with very large wings.
"He may look weird but my card allows me to draw an extra card." Eric drew his card. "I will now attack your diamond eye with crow dragon! Go!" Eric commanded and the Dragon flew quickly towards the eye. The eyes suddenly disappeared and a diamond barrier cover Keith but it soon faded.
"I activated diamond reaction and added my cards ATK points to my life points"Keith explained as his life points increased.
K:3500
E:1700
Eric was amazed that Keith drew exactly what would help him when he needed. And that most of the cards he was playing were from his last duel. he quickly got over all of it." luster dragon take out the spirit!" The shiny dragon rushed the spirit, destroying it.
K:3300
E:1700
Eric then said " I place 1 face-down and end my turn." Keith drew his card. he had 2 while Eric had 3. Keith did not have much to work with. "I set 1 monster and end my turn." Keith had a very dumb plan in his head but is was very risky.
Eric thought for a minute about his set monster. By the way things are going he would expect diamond guardian as the card. He was not going to take the risk of losing by attacking with crow dragon or going down to 400 with luster Dragon. He was not to do anything."I end my turn"
Keith was shocked that his dumb bluff worked. He knew that Eric would think it would be Diamond Guardian and therefore not attack with either of his monsters. This bought Keith a turn. He hoped it was not the end. As he drew his card he felt a warmth in his hand that he had never experienced before. He knew some how this would be the card he need to get back in this duel.
"I summon Diamond Edge(800/900)!" Carmen and Eric were both shocked at the card he just drew.
"I know...I cannot really believe it either." Keith replied. "I now flip over diamond eater(1200/300)!" A disgusting beast with diamond liquid oozing from it's mouth appeared next to the sword with eyes.
"Wait it wasn't Diamond Guardian?"Eric asked.
Keith nodded "yeah...who knew you would be so dumb as to fall for my plan!"
"That was no plan that was a risky and stupid bluff which Eric should have never fell for" Carmen blurted.
"Oh whatever" Keith and Eric said. Keith then continued his turn. "I now tune my level 3 diamond edge with my level 4 eater...The times of old age locks grips with the silver jewels, releasing a new beast. SYNCHRO SUMMON DIAMOND BARBARIAN (2000/2300)!
A large man with a dirty beard appeared wearing diamonds that covered his entire body. he held a large diamond mace in his hand.
"you like my monster? He is one of my best cards. I don't know if I will be able to end this duel now. If my attack goes through I can bring you down pretty low." Keith said "But any way my Diamond edge has and effect which allows me to draw to cards when he is used in a synchro summon and you gain 600 life points." He drew his two cards then slid a card into his spell and trap zone. "I activate pot of greed to draw two more cards making my total 4 cards."
E:2300
K:500
"I can see your hand! There is no need to narrate." Eric retorted
"Well It's a habit of mine so get used to crow dragon with my barbarian!"
"But my monster is stronger" stated Eric.
"Oh did I forget to tell you my monsters effect? when he attacks the turn he is summoned he gains 1000 extra ATK points."Keith explained.(3000/2300)
"1000!?" Eric yelled as the monster was closing in on the dragon. suddenly a large roar was heard by everyone in the arena. This caused the barbarian to run back to his part of the field.
"I was not afraid of that dumb thing because I activated my dragon roar which negates your attack and ends your turn." Eric said as he drew his card."but I had face-downs ready to be put!" Keith complained (2000/2300)
"Stop whining man. I will start in my battle phase and attack the barbarian with crow dragon!"
The caveman was destroyed by the flying dragon.
K:3200
E:2300
"Now I will attack directly with Luster Dragon GO!"
The monster released a shiny aura around Keith and it drained his life points.
K:600 E:2300
"This is nearly done now buddy." Eric announced as he placed a card face-down in this spell and trap card zone.
"Man I need a good draw." Keith thought as he drew his next card. " I will start with diamond hope. This allows me to bring a level 4 or lower 'Diamond monster' from my graveyard and special summon it. I will choose my Diamond edge(800/900)."
"damn another synchro summon" Eric thought.
"Alright I summon my diamond tamer(1300/0) in attack mode" A small little warrior with a dagger appeared his sword was covered in diamonds.
"His effect allows me to destroy 1 spell or trap on your field! I choose Dragon wings"
"No!" Eric objected
"Um...that's not going to make it come back buddy." Keith said and chuckled as the dragons lost their boost and the size of their wings returned to normal size.(1400/1200)/(1900/1600)
"I tune my 2 cards together to summon the level 6 monster Diamond Elf (1800/200)!"
Out came a monster that wore a silver cape and had diamond shards poking all out of it's body.
"Whoa" Carmen exclaimed at the appearance of the monster.
Keith replied "Thanks for the reaction now I draw my 2 cards and you gain 600 life points" Keith drew his cards and Eric's Life point meter went up
E:2900
K:500
Keith then smiled. "I play 2 face-downs and attack crow dragon with my Elf. Go Diamond hurricane!"
The bird-dragon was utterly destroyed in a cyclone of diamond grunted at his cards destruction
E:2500
K:500
Keith then began again "Turn end." Eric drew his card "I will start off by releasing Luster Dragon to summon Genesis Dragon(2200/1800)." A redish black dragon appeared on the field.
"I will activate it's effect to decrease your cards ATK or DEF by by 500!" Eric Shouted but nothing happened when he activated the effect
"My monster cancel all monsters effects on your field."Keith said with a smirk on his face.
"Ugh...these diamonds are quite irritating"Eric said.
"I love them" Keith replied.
"How the hell can you love cards? they are pieces of paper with a picture on them. They are not real."
"I've had these cards for ages now! They have gotten me out of so many binds it's not even funny. These cards are great! you are just mad because they are about to defeat you." Keith cried.
"well bring it then" Eric challenged "I choose to attack your Elf! FIRE BALL!
"Negate attack activate!"
"Not so fast! Trap stun activate! now no traps effects activate this turn except this card . continue my monster!"
The dragon obliterated the elf and almost all of Keith life points. He cried out to his monsters destruction
K:200
E:2500
"I end my turn" Eric said. "You are going to have to do better then that to win this duel buddy"
"I realize that." He said as he drew his card."That is why I set a card. your move"
"I will end this duel this turn! I play alchemical experiment on dragon! This allows me to special summon 1 level 7 dragon from my deck to the field as long as I discard the remainder of my hand which is 2 cards. I now summon to the field one of the high lighters of my deck! Here we go RED EYES BLACK DRAGON(2400/2000)." The legendary black dragon appeared on the field.
"OH CRAP"Keith Exclaimed as he was staring down one of the most fear dragon in duel monsters.
"I know for a fact that you are not lucky enough to have drawn The I also know that I will not be fulled twice by the same trick. That is why I will attack your monster with Genesis Dragon!"
"Activate Chief chant with nullifies all effects for the this turn only. Now the monster you are attacking will surprise you."A large wall of diamonds appeared(4000/1000).
"DAMNIT" Eric cried. His life points dropped drastically as the fire ball hit the monster and bounced back to Eric.
E:700
K:200
"Diamond guardians always got my back and since I activated my Chiefs chant I do not lose 1000 for it being attacked."
"I'm fed up with this god damn duel. why don't you just lose already"He asked
"Because I gotta beat you to show that I am worth respecting. Now with that being done you have no cards on the field. I will now end this." Keith drew his card and felt warmth from it like he did earlier in the duel. He put the card he drew into his hand and played another. "I play diamond copy spell, spell card. this allows me to use 1 spell that uses diamond in the text. this card becomes that card. I choose Diamond reaction and gain 4000 thanks to my cards effect."
His life point then increased as the monster left the field.
K:4200
E:700
"This duel is over now Eric. it's been fun but no more games. I summon my Diamond daemon (1700/1800)" The demon appeared. " I now play a spell card called Diamond craze. This doubles my monsters ATK points for the turn."The Demon's head was then completely covered with diamonds. (3400/1800). Eric was stunned that he was about to lose in such a manner. "I Attack The Red eyes black dragon..." The demon was instantly covered in shimmering diamonds. he obliterated the Dragon and depleted the remainder of his life points.

"I lost" he whispered to himself. Carmen smiled slightly and nodded her head. She walked over to Keith to congratulated him.
"You won boy. and you even got 300 points since you got over are an extremely skilled duelist." She said.
"yeah I got lucky with that last draw or else I would have been stuck with 25 points." Keith added.
The two obelisk blue's had rushed to Eric's side. Eric yelled "GET THE HELL BACK!" The obelisk blues backed away with a confused look on their faces.
"What your malfunction we were only trying to help"one said
"He's right you no" the other said
"I do not need anyones help. I will simply take the defeat and accept it!" He shouted back at them. He then looked at Keith who was standing near Carmen." I will get you back for this lost you have inflicted upon me. I will power my deck beyond the limits of a regular Dragon deck and I will reap my revenge upon you Keith Orlear. I promise you that." He threatened.
"Dude this the 21st century not the old days. You sound like a washed up villain who just lost a battle."Keith replied.
Eric balled his hands into a fist and walked away. His face was redder then buring hot magma. The two obelisk's followed him soon after making sure to keep their distance.
"God what a hot head"Keith remarked
"He will get over after crushing some duelist on the way to his room. And if he does not I will just have to make him calm down." Carmen replied
"So when are we going to duel?" He asked as they walked out the duel arena together.
"I'm gonna have to get some better cards to face your deck at it's prime. You better get some too." she said as she waved bye as she turned the other way to the female obelisk blue dorm.
"Man I'm going to love this school year" he said as he walked to his dorm room.
The first time he came to his room he only stopped to unpack his things. Their was no one in the room. When he came in for the night he saw a young man around the age of 16 on the top bunk of the. He had glasses and blue highlights. He was reading a book know as 'Duels in space'. He looked up and saw Keith at the entrance to the room.
"Hello" The boy said. Keith was not surprised to see him but did not expect to see him.
"Um...are you my roommate?" Keith replied back
"Who else would be in the a bunk bed reading?" He shot back
"Okay that was a kinda dumb question to ask I admit it." Keith said.
"It's cool. So I'm Wyet Blursenge . And you must be Keith?"
"Yeah I am. So dude I'm like really tired and I got a long day ahead of me so we can get to know each other in class tomorrow. Good night." Keith said as he changed in to his pajamas. Just before he climbed into his bed his PDA went off. He walked over to the desk and checked it. It was Carmen. She said in the message:
hey Man I just wanted to tell you that my deck is ready to go. I hope you know that I wanna duel as soon as possible. So let me have a time. kk peace.
Keith placed it back onto the desk and climbed into his bed. He was almost sleep until he heard another voice. it said "Man he sure did stay with us for a while huh?"
"Oh leave in alone he has had a long day" another said.
"I'm just saying it was a bit rude"
"Oh get over it. I'm sleepy too. But this book is freaking good."
"You dork! stop reading and go to sleep"
"fine!"
Keith heard the sound of shifting fabric, like someone was settling in a bed. Keith soon drifted to sleep after the small conversation was over."
