Chapter 1: I Just Can't Wait To Be King
Let's leave Ryou in his personal little hell for a minute (I know I'm evil) and focus on another cast member. Across town, in the earlier referred to Kame game store, Joey Wheeler had just pulled some good cards and was swapping them into his deck; occasionally rubbing his chin which bore the beginnings of a goatee in thought about what to take out and what to put it. My fellow duelists can understand because making sure your deck is as good as you can get it is quite time consuming.
"And dat's dat," Joey stated, in his Brooklyn accent, "I'm ready to take on anybody! Who wants some?" He walked outside, his duel disk strapped to his arm. "One of dees days, I'll be able to get Yuge down to about… oh… fifty life points before he pulls one of his famous turnarounds," he told himself, fantasizing about leaving Seto Kaiba in the dust and becoming the world's second best duelist.
As Joey approached Domino Park, he heard what was clearly a body hitting the pavement. He jogged up to see a tall man whose attire reminded Joey of Crocodile Dundee standing over a defeated Rex Raptor. Man, Joey thought, even since before takin on Espa Roba in Battle City all dos years ago, I've been arrivin' to duels to see people drop Rex like a bag of cement. Rex, still on the ground mind you looked to see who ran up, "Wheeler?! Always gotta see me in the dirt, huh?" At the mention of the newcomer' name, the man realized his target had just shown up. "Well, well, Joey Wheeler," the man spoke, "finally I come across a real duelist and not some deadbeat."
"Hey!" Joey snapped, "who are ya?" "Name's McLeach. Percival C. McLeach," the tall man introduced himself, "how about a friendly little game, boy?" "You want it, you got it!" Joey accepted, activating his duel disk, this'll be a good test of my new deck. "Wheeler," Rex spat after getting up, "watch it. This guy's machine deck makes Bandit Keith look like a noob." Joey just kept a steely stare towards McLeach. This guy runs a machine deck, huh? And it apparently blows that punk Keith outta the water. Let's just see!
Joey-4000/McLeach-4000.
"I'll let you go first," McLeach waved his hand after readying his duel disk. "You want it, you got it!" Joey repeated. Man, Joey says that a lot. Maybe I should make it his catchphrase for this fanfic. Let me know in your review, if you leave one. "I'll play two cards face-down and summon Axe Raider," he announced. An orange-skinned man in yellowish armor, brandishing an axe, took to the field. "That's all, huh," McLeach summed up before making his draw, "I'll set one card face-down and set a monster in defense mode." Joey drew, his eyes gleaming with triumph, "perfect! I summon Exarion Universe!" Next to Axe Raider, appeared a green, blue, and black futuristic centaur. "Check this," Joey continued, "by reducin' his attack points by 400; my new friend can deal damage even if your monsta is in defense mode! Attack him now!" Exarion Universe slammed into a tank-like device. However, thanks to Joey weakening it, its attack was weaker then the machine's defense. 1800-1400=400.
Joey-3600/McLeach-4000.
"That there's my Machina Defender," McLeach explained, "thanks to its flip effect, I can add a monster known as Commander Covington to my hand." And he did just that, now holding five cards to Joey's three. "My draw," he smirked, "I'll activate Double Summon, which lets me make two normal-summons this turn. So, I'll go ahead and bring on out Machina Sniper…" "Activate Bottomless Trap Hole!" Joey interrupted, "tanks to this card, since your monsta has more den 1500 points, it's removed from play!" "A minor inconvenience," McLeach spat, "I can still summon Machina Soldier." McLeach's new arrival was a machine just like his Defender, with Soldier having a large bowie knife for one of its hands. "Now, I activate my face-down, Shrink, cutting the attack of your Universe by half," smirked McLeach, "sic 'em!" Machina Soldier stabbed Exarion Universe right in the gut, digitizing its hologram. 1600-900=700.
Joey-2900/McLeach-4000.
Joey drew, "not bad. Not bad at all. I summon Goblin Attack Force!" A horde of about five goblins materialized with clubs at the ready. "Axe Raider: attack his Machina Soldier! Goblins: smash his Defender!" Axe Raider cleaved through Machina Soldier like butter. 1700-1600=100. At the end of Joey's turn, the Goblin Attack Force was chillaxing in defense mode, one of them doing a bad imitation of Rafiki's meditation pose from the Lion King (not to brag but I can do it perfectly).
Joey-2900/McLeach-3900.
McLeach wasn't happy now that he was wide open. He'd have to change that and fast.
Joey let out a laugh, "hey Rex. You need a new definition of tough if you think this guy outclasses Bandit Keith!"
"Mock me all you want, pup. It's my turn!" McLeach drew. Little did he know, he had pushed Joey's anger button with the pup comment.
"Pup?!" Joey barked (lol, couldn't resist), "I ain't no dog!"
"That's a double negative," said Rex, "so you are a dog."
"Shaddup!" Joey snapped, "or you're next!"
As amused as McLeach was by Joey's lack of temper, he knew he had to get down to business. "As I was saying, pup, I summon Machina Gearframe, which in turn let's me add any Machina monster to my hand and I choose the most powerful, Machina Force!" His reddish machine stood at the ready while he added a forth card to his hand.
"Let's see," McLeach mused, "your Goblins stay that way during your next turn, too, so I'll attack your Axe Raider!"
Gearframe charged forth as Joey activated his last face-down, "Kunai with Chain! This gives him 500 extra points and as an added bonus, your monsta goes boom!"
2200-1800=400.
Joey-2900/McLeach-3500.
"Fine," McLeach spat, "for my last move this round; I'll use Soul Release, removing my Soldier and Defender from play. As well as setting this card face-down."
Joey drew… and smirked, "I sacrifice both of my monstas to summon… my Red Eyes Black Dragon!"
With a chilling screech, Joey's signature beast appeared on the field, "alright Red Eyes! Attack! Inferno Fire Blast!" The huge crimson ball of fire slammed into McLeach, knocking the poacher off his feet.
Joey-2900/McLeach-1100.
"I draw," snarled McLeach after getting back up, "I play Pot of Greed to draw two cards! Now I activate my face-down; Return from the Different Dimension! Now I can summon all my removed critters as long as I trade half my life points."
Joey-2900/McLeach-550.
"Now I summon my Commander Covington," McLeach continued. Rex's eyes widened, "you're in for it now Wheeler! He's going to summon the card he crushed me with!" A red mechanical soldier appeared next to the three other machines that had been called back. "Now by his ability, I combine all three Machina monsters into my biggest prize! Say g'day to Machina Force, pup!"
Joey was flabbergasted and gob smacked as a titanium titan, resembling the three Machina monsters combined arose from the pile of machines. With 4600 attack points, it could easily wipe out Obelisk the Tormentor or Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon! If Joey wanted to prove he could be just as good as Yugi, now was his chance to prove it…
To Be Continued…
Dodges tomatoes and whatever else readers throw at him. I know, I know cliffhangers can drive a fanfic reader to drink. However, I'm going to be a punk and do some other authors do. You want next chapter, then you review. Please. This is my first story and I'd really appreciate constructive criticism.
