chapter2. Hero heart
Darc looked out the window of his new fancy apartment overlooking neo domino he was king now and planned to make the most of it he still remembered his days in satellite scrounging for scraps and being treated like crap victimised because he was different well times had changed he lived the high life now yet Darc still wondered if the rumours of satellites improvement were true.
*****meanwhile in satellite*****
"Hey leave me alone you guys" cried out a voice Kain turned to see a little girl with long brown hair in curls wearing a green hat and a criminal marker on her left cheek being chased by a gang of thugs. Kain approached them and said calmly.
"Back off" a boy around Kain's height with messy green hair approached and asked.
"What y' gonna do if I don't huh?" Kain chuckled.
"Well I'd be left with two choose either between fight which I think I could win or a duel which I know I could win." The green haired boy activated his duel disk and Kain followed suit.
*****several minutes later*****
The green haired boy stared at Kain knowing he had been not only been defeated but humiliated. The gang cleared off and Kain approached the little girl they had tormented.
"The gang cleared off and Kain approached the little girl they had tormented.
"Hey kid you alright?" Kain asked.
"Yeah thanks mister I'm rally" upon hearing the kids voice Kain knew he was mistaken and it was in fact a boy.
"Names Kain Parsath." Kain answered.
Rally looked at this boy who was around twice his height he had spikey black hair with silver streaks, brown eyes and wore a white shirt and jeans pretty casual. However the most distinguishing thing about Kain was the mark under his right eye it was one just like Yusei's.
"So Kain I've never seen you around here." Rally said trying to analyse Kain.
"I'm new but I want be here long all I plan to do while I'm here is duel the best duelists satellite has to offer then moving to domino." Kain declared "I don't assume you know Crow or Yusei Fudo." Rally laughed and cried out "Yeah there two of my best friends." Kain considered himself lucky he had found this kid. Rally continued. "Yusei's out at the city for some work but Crow should still be at the orphanage." Kain couldn't believe it he had searched for the two great duelists for ages and Rally could find them easily.
"Could you lead me to the orphanage?" Kain asked the small boy
"Sure follow me" Rally replied.
***** one hour later*****
"Well here we are" Rally said. Kain looked at the large building it wasn't exactly what he expected it was a large shimmering silver building not worn down one bit and on each side were two statues on the right Jack Atlus trademark red dragon archfiend and on the left a large white and blue dragon with a curved nose. Kain walked towards the orphanage he could here yelling from within probably kids fighting. Kain pulled open the door and saw inside there was a man in his early 30's with his duel disk drawn yelling at an elderly nun with braided hair. The old woman responded in panic.
"I told you Crows in neo domino on a delivery." The man put his face right into the woman's and roared.
"Then you better bring him back." Kain looked at the large man he was wearing a biker jacket and was bald. Kain saw a young boy approaching him grabbing his leg to try and pull him away.
"Get off me you little brat!" the bald duelist cried.
The man effortlessly shook the boy off with a swift kick. A grown man kicking a child disgusted Kain. So in protest he walked up to the man and without any warning delivered a swift knee to the sternum. The bald man fell to one knee and cried.
"Dammit what was that for?" Kain merely activated his duel disk and asked .
"Do you accept my challenge?" The man sneered and replied.
"Fine but if I win you gotta buzz off cause it's none of your business what I've done anyway." Kain nodded.
Kain started by drawing a card.
"I summon F-hero Richard." On Kain's field appeared a large hulking man in blue armour that's helmet had bat like wings on the helmet carrying a long spear for some reason this monster always felt very familiar to Kain. (1200atk)*1 "I play two reversed cards and end my turn." The bald man sneered and made his first draw.
"Alright I summon my queens knight in attack mode." The female warrior made famous by Yugi Moto appeared sword drawn. (1600 atk) "Alright queenie take down that dragoon!" The queen dived towards F-hero Richard but fell into a portal and reappeared on the large mans field and one of Kains faced downs now revealed as negate attack went to the graveyard. "Eh lucky draw I'll get ya next time turn end." Kain drew a card.
"I summon F-hero Terra in defence mode and activate my insignia of the fallen trap." (200 def) The bald man looked puzzled but Kain planned to educate "I remove one F-hero monster in my deck from play and add exp counters to one monster on the field for every 500 atk points the monster had." Kain placed a card from his deck in his discard slot. "I removed my F-hero Kimari which has 2700 atk points so my F-hero Terra gains 5 exp counters." The bald man interrupted Kain.
"Wait a sec what do those counters even do?" The intruder questioned.
"I was about to show you I tribute Terra to limit summon my F-hero Cecil paladin." (2100atk) A tall effeminate man with long silver hair white armour a staff in his hands and a sword but it was sheathed.
"Should I destroy that knight?" Cecil asked Kain and got a nod for a reply. Cecil jumped to the air then brought his staff down on queens knight sending it to the graveyard.
"Damn!" the bald intruder cried feeling the impact of the attack.
"It's not over yet Richard attack." Kain cried and the dragoon rushed towards the opponent and rammed his spear through the bald mans chest.
Kain (8000 lp) Baldy (6300lp)
"Your move" Kain said calmly. The bald man made a draw.
"I play my silent doom to bring back queens knight in defence mode." The female poker warrior re-emerged on the intruder's field. "Now I summon my kings knight." A bearded man in gold armour appeared beside his queen counterpart. "Now thanks to my kings effect I can special summon jacks knight from my deck and now I play polymerization to summon my arcana knight joker!." A proud gold and black knight with glaring eyes carrying a broad sword replaced the poker knights.(3800 atk) "Heh I'm afraid this is gonna sting takeout F-hero Richard." Arcana knight joker swung his massive broadsword but it was Cecil that was destroyed.
"When Cecils on the field he's the only monster who can be attacked" Kain told the man who scowled and ended his turn.
Kain (6300 lp) Baldy (6300lp)
"I play the continuous spell sparring now every turn each monster on the field gains an exp counter every standby phase now I now switch my Richard to defence mode." (900 def) "Now I summon my f-hero zidane in defence mode and activate his effect by giving up 500 of his attack points I can place one exp counter on one F-hero on the field." The small blonde haired boy lost one of his two daggers and his attack was reduced to 500. "Now I activate Richards effect to remove him from play and end my turn." The spear wielding dragoon jumped to the sky and stayed there.
"Then it's my move" cried the man in the biker jacket "Attack joker and destroy zidane." The boy with the tail was destroyed with a single slash of arcana knight jokers broadsword. "Now I'll end." Kain made a draw and then started to speak. "During my standby phase Richard returns to the field and destroys one monster on the field with his jump."
"Tough luck." The bald duelist said with a chuckle "arcana knight joker can negate an effect by discarding a monster from my hand." Kain was taken aback by this and unlike arcana knight joker he didn't have a good poker face and the look on his face gave away his shock.
"Fine but Richard still returns to the field and he and you're joker gain's one exp counter each now I play my double summon which allows me to perform two normal summons this turn." Kain told the poker duelist. "Now I summon F-hero cecil dark knight who gains two exp counters since I have two F-heroes." This cecil was very different to the paladin version because his face was hidden beneath his helmet, he wore pitch black armour and carried a spear rather than a staff. (1900 atk) "Now I tribute Cecil and Richard to summon F-hero kimahri." A tall blue humanoid with blue fur and a broken horn appeared on the field carrying a large spear. (2700 atk)
"What is it with you and spears?" Kains opponent asked.
"Dunno they just feel familiar."*1 Kain responded then continued with "Now I activate my comrade of the defeated spell card which allows me to place an exp counter on an F-hero for every one of them in my graveyard so kimahri gets 6 exp counters." "I happen to know that you're jokers effect can only be activated once per turn so I activate the effect of kimahri by removing every exp counter from the field one monster on the field loses 500 attack points for each counter removed so you're arcana knight joker loses 3500 attack since I'm removing 6 from kimahri and one from joker!" Kain cried at the top of his lungs. "Now kimahri attack." The ronso charged ahead and slashed his spear through the poker warrior. Kain finished by saying "Turn end."
Kain (6300 lp) Baldy (2900lp)
Kain's opponent snarled as he made his draw where a smile came across his face.
"I play my dark factory of mass production to bring my king and queen back to my hand." The bald man then played a card that Kain knew all too well. "Now I use my own double summon so I'll normal summon king and queen again allowing me to special summon my jacks knight."
"Great here comes that joker again" thought Kain.
"Now I play my spell card royal straight." The poker duelist said with a smile. "Now I tribute my three poker knights to summon royal straight slasher!"
"Okay that I didn't expect" Kain thought to himself. The bald opponent started to speak again.
"Now I activate slashers effect to destroy all cards on your field by sending 5 monsters from levels 1 to 5 to the graveyard from my deck." Kimahri disappeared from the field and Kain saw his opponent's ace come charging at him in his grey armour. "I'll end here." The man said.
Kain (3900 lp) Baldy (2900lp)
Kain drew a card from his deck and played a face down on his field.
"Draw" the man cried lifting a card from his deck. "Best not to waste ones deck so I'll just have slasher attack and end there."
Kain (1500 lp) Baldy (2900lp)
Kain made a draw. Then declared "I summon F-hero cloud grunt." A boy with blonde hair and striking blue eyes wearing a blue tunic holding a rifle.(1400 atk) "Now I activate my trap knowledge of the veteran first I pay half my life points then I can raise one F-hero monster's exp counters to their maximum." F-hero clouds grunt's exp counters shot up to 8. "Now I tribute Cloud to limit summon F-hero Cloud first class." Cloud's attire changed to that of a black leather jacket and his rifle was replaced with a large sword. (2900 atk) Kain began to explain the effects of first class to his opponent "When first class is limit summoned I can put 3 exp counters on one F-hero monster on the field and he gains 300 attack for every exp counter on the field." Kain paused then continued revealing a card from his hand "Now I activate my second comrade of the defeated and now I have 8 F-heroes in my graveyard so Cloud now has 11 exp counters raising his attack to 6200 enough to defeat you're slasher and win the duel go Cloud use omnislash and end this!" Kain's ace jumped to the sky and did a series of slashes on Royal straight slasher depleting the unnamed opponent to zero life points.
Kain (750lp) final resultBaldy (lp)
Kain wins.
The unnamed poker duelist fell to the floor from the impact of the attack then got back up and yelled at Kain.
"Dammit no one makes a fool out of Toshiro Ano!" Toshiro made a fist and ran towards Kain. Kain effortlessly stopped the blow and kicked Toshiro so hard in the face blood gushed from his nose.
"Y-your gonna pay for this next time." Toshiro cried running out the orphanage. After Toshiro ran out the building around 50 children came out of hiding and stared directly at Kain with wonder the little boy who the poker duelist had kicked approached Kain and said.
"Wow mister your awesome thanks for saving me." Kain smiled and replied.
"No problem kid anytime." The elderly nun from before approached and asked Kain and said.
"Thank you for saving the orphans my name is Martha I take care of these children normally we don't have this kind of trouble because Jack, Crow and Yusei stop them but they couldn't be here and for that we are in your debt Mr.?"
"Parsath." He replied "But please call me Kain I'll take my leave now I'm afraid that the reason I came was the same as that thug and for that I apologise." The orphans all gave an "aww" and one of them shouted out.
"But we wanna see you take on big bro Crow in a duel." Martha spoke to Kain and said.
"Please stay here Crow will be delighted to duel you since you saved us and you're certainly in his league please stay here until he returns consider it thanks for saving us." Kain laughed and said.
"Well if these kids want to see a duel then thats what they're gonna get."
*****Whilst all this was going on something big was happening in neo domino*****
Darc sat shuffling his deck looking through cards he could take out or add to it when the door opened.
"I said no callers." He cried. Through the door came a young woman around 19 or 20. with long black hair wearing a white dress Darc wasn't someone who went on a lot of dates or admired anyone but even he could tell how beautiful this girl was she began to speak.
"I'm sorry Mr.-" Darc interjected.
"My names Darc nothing else." The woman bowed her head and said.
"My apologies my name is Karin Amnell your secretary let me in as this is a cause that may interest you."
"Charity eh?" Dark asked rhetorically. "Well I guess I could give something."
"We are not a charity Darc." The girl said cooly. "But we are an organization one out for the greater good." The girl had caught Darc's intrest.
"I'm listening." He said.
"Well we are a group of people who can extraordinary things and we believe you may be one of us." Darc was taken aback by this how could she have known he hidden it for years- wait no she said might it was possible she didn't.
"Sorry but you have the wrong person I don't even believe in duel spirits." Darc replied.
"I never mentioned anything about duel spirits." The woman in the white. dress said. "So are you lying.
"NO!" yelled Darc. Karin reached into her dress and brought out a duel disk.
"The truth always comes out in a duel." Karin said
"Fine and you'll see that you're wrong. Darc replied.
*1 Kain is named after Kain highwind of final fantasy four (obviously you know where his last name comes from) who is a dragoon like some of the characters in his deck and dragoons are spear users in case you did not know.
Kain here to tell you about the next chapter where Darc duels. KARIN! Damn I wonder how she's doing then again she probably hates my guts now but I never wanted to hurt her even guess everybody back home hates my guts now. Will Darc win? To find out read the next chapter of Yugioh 5D's Zakara chronicles Truth of existence.

How limit summoning works.
When a monster on the field has the required number of exp counters or more it can be tribute to summon a limit monster from the extra deck pretty simple really also all limit monsters max exp is 12 but there will never be a limit monster who requires more than 8 exp this rule must be enforced if you plan to create your own limit monster's and if you do plan to create your own message me and tell me just so I can check them out also feel free to use the f-heroes in a fic.
