Chapter 2: War-Bear
The Twilight Heart is a faction headed by the twenty-two year old Kuma Mizuki. He has a seventeen year old sister named Neya Mizuki. Together, the two try to make Neo Domino City a better place. From the viewpoint of Sector Security, they are just seen as just another Duel Gang. However as of late, the Twilight Heart has caused more trouble than Security would like to admit.
While Neya would take up a vigilante sort of role within the faction, fighting against bandits who Security does nothing about, Kuma's job is more about noble thievery. Kuma takes the job of noble thief by going into the Tops District and procuring whatever treasures they can find within the lucrative but restricted area of the city. The treasures are then sold for money which are then given to the poor residents of the Commons District.
The Twilight Heart has a favorable reputation among most of the Commons. Even some of the Tops Citizens of Neo Domino City even view the so called Duel gang in a favorable light. Neya's Duel Disk which has the ability to morph from a sword to a duel disk was a reward from a prominent Tops businessman for saving him from a bunch of Tarleton bandits who wanted to steal his weaponized Duel Disks in the name of the Bandit King, Aaron Tarleton.
...
It was late at night. Three D-wheels were speeding away on a highway in the Tops District. The highway was mostly empty allowing a clean getaway for the riders. The three riders were intending to escape from the Tops District and into the Commons District. But it seems that fate would have it some other way.
"Uh Oh. Looks like my radar is picking up someone trying to chase us. It must be that bodyguard from that mansion we just raided," said a Twilight Heart rider as she was looking at the map of the area on her D-Wheel monitor.
A large man standing at six foot six and weighed around two hundred and forty pounds. The man rode on a large, four wheel D-Wheel in the center of the duo. He had short blonde hair, had bright sea green eyes just like his younger sister, Neya Mizuki. The man wore a large trench coat, black pants, black boots and black finger-less gloves. The man wore a silver dog tag around his neck.
"Scarlett, Adam!" Kuma yelled as he threw a large beige bag full of goodies to one of the duo, who manged to catch the bag.
"You two, take these back to the hideout. I'll deal with the pursuer," Kuma instructed his two henchman.
"Alright," said the both of them as the duo sped ahead. Kuma maintained his current speed as he waited for the pursuer to catch up.
...
A young Sector Security Officer who looked about nineteen riding on a white D-Wheel caught up with Kuma.
"Stop!" said the Security officer who managed to catch up with Kuma.
Kuma inspected the Security Officer's face closely. "A rookie, it seems," Kuma whispered to himself. However the Security Officer managed to catch wind of Kuma's rookie comment.
"Careful, I am no rookie," The young Security Officer responded.
"Hah!" Kuma responded back. "I can tell that you have the eyes of a rookie. This shouldn't take too long!"
"Unlike you pieces of bandit trash, I graduated at the top of my class in the Neo Duel Academy," said the Security officer.
The Security Officer's name is Akio. Akio was a nineteen year old rookie who served as an officer in the Public Security Maintenance Bureau. Akio has only served on the Field for only two months. Akio was a talented individual who managed to get into Neo Duel Academy, the most prestigious Duel Academy in the world. Despite the fact that Akio was one of the top graduates of his class from the Neo Duel Academy, field experience proves to be everything.
In seems that only two months into the job, a rookie such as Akio is being matched up in a fight against a supposedly notorious bandit leader.
"Bandit trash?!" Kuma exclaimed. "I grew up in the slums known as the Commons District along with my younger sister. We worked and fought hard to earn every bit of yugidollar we could find!"
Kuma continued his story. "The Commons is a poorly maintained and crime ridden slum that the Executive Council does nothing about. The Sector Security that you work for as well as your Tops organizations is paid and bought for by the very bandits you sought to fight against!"
"And you think that helping your fellow Commons is to break into people's mansions and steal their valuables instead of earning it?!" Akio shouted back.
"Perhaps you are right. But me and my group only target any Tops that have any ties to most bandits or corrupt Tops Organizations!" Kuma said.
"I'm done TALKING!" Kuma yelled. "Since you're here to arrest me and my gang who are long gone by now, it seems we must Duel. If you win, you'll take me in. But I doubt it," Kuma said with confidence to the rookie Security Officer.
"I've been taught by my mentors that Dueling is the great equalizer. And I will prove my skill in battle by defeating you and your bandits." the rookie Security Officer said.
"I will show you why I am at the top of my class at the Neo Duel Academy" the rookie officer, Akio continued his boast.
"Fine!" said Kuma who then pressed a button on the cockpit of his D-Wheel. A card came up on the screen of both D-Wheels.
"SPEED WORLD ACCELERATION ACTIVATED" said the computer AI.
"Alright this is how it works. Whoever passes the first checkpoint gets the first turn. Whoever reaches the other checkpoints first gains one speed counter. At the end of our turns, we each gain one Speed Counter. During either of our turns, we can spend Speed Counters to activate various effects. One Speed Counter will increase a monster's attack power by five hundred. Two Speed Counters will negate one attack and four speed counters will reduce one instance of damage inflicted to zero." Kuma explained the effect of his Speed World Acceleration card!"
"Very Well then," said the rookie as his D-Wheel began picking up speed, hoping to reach the first check point.
"You think you can get the DROP ON ME ROOKIE!" Kuma growled loudly as he revved up his engines of by smashing the accelerator with his foot.
Kuma's hulking D-Wheel then started to pick up speed as his engines sounded like the roar of a thousand bears.
The rookie's Security Officer's bike was in the lead. But Kuma was not far behind. As the first checkpoint came within distance, Kuma slowly caught up with the rookie Officer.
"Lets see how you handle THIS!" Kuma yelled as Kuma steered closer to the Rookie Officer. With just a little slam from Kuma's hulking machine, the Rookie Security Officer was knocked off balance, allowing Kuma to pick up the lead.
Kuma's D-Wheel passed the first check point. "Hah, Looks like I get to go first," said the Twilight Heart leader.
(Kuma 4000 LP, 5 cards, 1 SC)
"First, I Normal Summon my Warlord-Bear Black Thief on to my field," Kuma opened as a large bear running on two legs materialized out of a portal. The bear wore a black cloak with a black hood and wielded a dagger in his right paw. The War-lord bear monster ran at the same speed beside Kuma's D-Wheel. (Hand:4)
(Warlord-Bear Black Thief /Level 2 /ATK 1200 /DEF 1400)
"Next, I activate my Field Spell Card, War Bear Encampment," Kuma continued as he slammed a card on to his built in duel disk. "Now I get to use my Active Field Spell in order to perform another Normal Summon" Kuma continued. (Hand:3)
On the sides of the track-way, a forest of massive green trees rose up in response to the activation of Kuma's War Bear Encampment. The forest tress blocked out the neon city lights of Neo Domino City.
"Now I Normal Summon my Warlord-Bear Sun Mystic onto my field" Kuma announced as another Warlord-Bear monster made its appearance out of the portal. A hulking bear creature wearing a beige cloak with red sun symbols on the cloak materialized out of the portal. (Hand:2)
(Warlord-Bear Sun Mystic /Level 2 /ATK 0 /DEF 1000)
Next, I set a card face down" Kuma said as another card materialized face down on the duel course, floating alongside Kuma's D-Wheel. (Hand:1)
"Now I End my turn. Alright rookie. Let's see what you've got" Kuma said as he ended his turn. Both Riders gained one Speed Counter.
(Kuma SC:2)
(Akio 4000 LP, 5 cards, 1 SC)
"It's my move." The Security Officer yelled as he ripped a card out of his deck. (Hand:6)
The Rookie Officer pulled a card out of his hand. "I activate the Spell Card, Gateway of the Six!" Akio proclaimed loudly. (Hand:5)
"In response, I activate the effect of my Sun Mystic. I pay one thousand life points in order to negate and destroy your Spell card" Kuma countered as Akio's Spell card disintegrated right off the field.
(Kuma LP 4500-1000=3500 LP)
"Ugh...!" The rookie officer grunted as his Spell card was taken away.
"Fine then, I will Normal Summon my Legendary Six Samurai - Kaigeki to the field" said Akio (Hand:4).
A Samurai warrior wearing a red outfit with black pants and black armor materialized out of the portal, keeping pace with Akio's D-Wheel. The Samurai had four mechanical arms, each wielding a katana in each hand as well as his biological arms.
(Legendary Six Samurai - Kageki /Level 3 /ATK 200 /DEF 2000)
"With Kageki out on my field, I get to Special Summon, Legendary Six Samurai - Irou to my field," Akio continued as he slammed down his monster card onto his built-in duel disk. (Hand:3)
(The Six Samurai - Irou /Level 4 /ATK 1700 /DEF 1200)
A Samurai popped out of the portal, running alongside its fellow Six Samurai brethren Kageki and his master, Akio. The samurai wore a black armor with purple accents on his upper body and arms. The warrior rested his black katana on his shoulder as he ran, keeping up with Akio.
Next, with its own effect, I get to Special Summon my Legendary Six Samurai Kizan as long as I control a differently named Six Samurai monster. Now come out, Legendary Six Samurai, Kizan" Akio again declared as another Samurai materialized out of the portal. (Hand:2)
Kizan was wore a metal body armor on his torso, a black cuirass with a black sheathe, a black helmet and black shoulder pads. The black armor had several yellow lines. The samurai warrior wielded a shining katana in his right arm.
"Now it is time to bring you to justice. Kageki! Attack the bandit leader's Sun Mystic!" Akio declared loudly as Kageki with its four swords in each arm dashed quickly towards Kuma's Sun Mystic.
"My Kageki's effect activates. As long I control a differently named Six Samurai monster, it gains fifteen hundred attack!"
(Legendary Six Samurai - Kageki ATK 200-1700)
Kuma quickly spun his D-Wheel back, turning to his opponent.
"That is not enough. I activate my Trap Card, War Bear Ambush!" Kuma loudly responded. "Your attack is negated and you must give up three hundred Life Points for each Warlord-Bear or Warlord-Chief monster that I control. I control two monsters that meet these requirements which means you must give up six hundred Life Points!"
"Damn!" Akio angrily grunted as his Life Points were sapped away.
(Akio LP 4000-600=3400)
"But I am NOT DONE!" Akio said with resolve. I attack your Warlord-Bear Sun Mystic with my Kizan" Akio said as his second monster began its attack.
Kizan dashed towards Kuma's Sun Mystic, hopefully being able to cover for its Kageki's earlier blunder.
"YOUR SECOND ATTACK WILL NOT GO THROUGH!" Kuma yelled. "I activate the effect of my Field Spell, War Bear Encampment. I pay one thousand Life Points to negate your attack" Kuma said as a counter displayed Kuma's Life Points decreasing to twenty five hundred Life Points.
(Kuma LP 3500-1000=2500)
"I have a third monster to attack with. I don't think you have what it takes to save your Sun Mystic a third time," Akio declared as the heat of the battle raged on.
"Irou! Attack his Sun Mystic!" Akio ordered his monster as his Irou ran towards Sun Mystic, with its grip on the hilt of his katana firm, hoping to successfully destroy Kuma's Sun Mystic monster."
"Have you been paying attention ROOKIE!" Kuma screamed at the rookie Security Officer.
"I have two Speed Counters available for use and I think I will pay two speed counters to negate your third attack," said Kuma as Irou's katana bounced off Kuma's Sun Mystic, harming no one in the process.
(Kuma SC 0)
"Dammit. Fine, I set a card face down and end my turn." said Akio as a face down card materialized on Akio's field, floating just behind Akio's D-Wheel.
(Kuma SC:1)
(Akio SC:2)
Kuma turned away from his opponent. "Its my Turn!" Kuma said as he ripped a card out of his hand. (Hand:2)
"First, I set a monster face-down." Kuma announced as a large face down card appeared ahead of Kuma's D-Wheel. (Hand:1)
"Next, I switch my Warlord-Bear Sun Mystic into Defense Position" Kuma added as he turned Sun Mystic's card on his built-in duel disk from its horizontal position into a vertical position. Sun Mystic changed its posture into a defensive one, ready to ward off any attacks from Akio.
"Now I Equip my Warlord-Bear Black Thief with my Equip Spell, War Bear Cloak," Kuma declared as he slapped a card onto the Spell/Trap Zone. A Black cape with a black hood materialized on Warlord-Bear Black Thief's back. (Hand:0)
A Checkpoint was up ahead. Akio tried to turn on the afterburners but Kuma would not let him. He rammed the rookie off to the side, allowing easy passage through the next checkpoint.
(Kuma LP 2500+500=3000)
(Kuma SC:2)
"Now with my Black Thief equipped with War Bear cloak, he is allowed to attack you directly," Kuma said to the rookie as he pointed at the target for Warlord-Bear Black Thief.
"WARLORD-BEAR BLACK THIEF, ATTACK HIS LIFE POINTS DIRECTLY!" The Twilight Leader ordered as Kuma's monster with its two daggers swiftly dashed towards Akio.
"I negate your attack by paying two speed counters," Akio countered as the Warlord-Bear's attack tried to stab Akio with his two daggers but was abruptly bounced off by the force field. Warlord-Bear Black Thief jumped back onto Kuma's side.
(Akio SC:0)
"Not bad for a rookie. I end my turn," Kuma said as both Riders gained speed counters.
(Kuma SC:3)
(Akio SC: 1)
It was Akio's turn. He drew a card, increasing his hand count to three. (Hand: 3)
I Normal Summon The Six Samurai - Kamon to the field," said Akio as a Samurai wore heavy brown armor all over his upperbody and arms materialized on the field. Kamon wielded a stick of dynamite in his right hand and wore a brown samurai helmet. (Hand:2)
"With the effect of my monster, Six Samurai - Kamon, I get to destroy one face-up Spell or Trap card on the field. I choose to destroy your War Bear Encampment," Akio declared as Kamon lit up his dynamite and threw it into the air. The stick exploded, destroying Kuma's War Bear Encampment, causing the forest surrounding the track-way to disappear, restoring the bright city lights shining on the track.
"With your War Bear Encampment out of the way, I conduct my Battle Phase. Kageki, attack and destroy Warlord-Bear Sun Mystic," Akio ordered as Kageki jumped up into the air and down onto the defending Warlord-Bear Sun Mystic.
Kageki successfully slammed its katana onto Kuma's Warlord-Bear monster in Defense Position. But something was amiss. Warlord-Bear Sun Mystic didn't disintegrate or even react to Kageki's successful slash.
"What the... What is going on. What trickery is this, Bandit?" the Security Officer suspiciously asked.
"All Warlord-Bear monsters have one thing in common. They cannot be destroyed by battle!" Kuma revealed.
"I see," the rookie Security Officer replied. "But in that case, regardless of the fact that your Warlord-Bear monsters are immune to destruction by battle, the fact remains that if I land a successful hit on an Attack Position Warlord-Bear, you still take damage," Akio explained as he geared up for a second attack, hopefully being able to not only land a successfully hit, but decrease Kuma's Life Points as well.
Akio gestured towards Kizan, then pointed at Warlord-Bear Black Thief.
The Six Samurai monster wielded its katana and made its way towards its intended target.
"I pay two speed counters in order to give my Warlord-Bear Black Thief one thousand attack points until the end phase.
(Kuma SC:1)
(Warlord-Bear Black Thief ATK 1200+1000=2200 ATK)
Six Samurai - Kizan slashed its sword at Kuma's Warlord-Bear monster but Warlord-Bear Black Thief parried the strike with both daggers then countered with two slashes of his own, successfully slashing Akio's Six Samurai monster. Kizan disintegrated from the field, causing Akio to lose four hundred Life Points.
(Akio LP 4000-400=3600)
"And that is not all," Kuma continued. "If my Black Thief successfully inflicts battle damage, I can pay one thousand Life Points in order to take control of my opponent's monster. I take control of your Six Samurai- Irou.
(Kuma LP 3000-1000=2000)
Irou disintegrated from Akio's side and materialized beside Kuma.
"I can see your Warlord-Bear Black Thief reflects your thieving banditry" Akio responded.
"Say what you will rookie. Now Irou's effects are negated, its Attack and Defense points are zero and its Level becomes two" Kuma replied.
"I end my turn" Akio declared. "Warlord-Bear Black Thief's attack power now reverts."
(Warlord-Bear Black Thief ATK 2200-1200)
(Akio SC:2)
(Kuma SC:2)
"ITS MY TURN. I DRAW!" Kuma screamed out his draw phase. (Hand:1)
"Now I Flip summon my Warlord-Bear Brown Spy" Kuma declared as Kuma's face down card was flipped face up, revealing a monster resembling a Syrian Brown Bear with milky brown fur on its body and darker brown fur at the base of his arms and legs.
(Warlord-Bear Brown Spy /Level 2 /ATK 1800 /DEF 0)
"Next, I pay one thousand Life Points in order to activate Brown Spy's effect." Kuma declared as his Life Points decreased to one thousand.
(Kuma LP: 2000-1000=1000)
"I get to add one Warlord-Bear monster from my deck to my hand," Kuma explained as a card slipped out of his deck. Kuma ripped out the card and added it to his hand. (Hand:2)
Kuma smiled at the card he just got from his deck then eyed the next checkpoint just in the distance. Kuma smiled further.
Kuma hit the accelerator. Kuma's big muscly bike made its way towards the D-Wheel. But Akio was determined to reach the next checkpoint also. Akio was confident that his speed counters would help him reach the checkpoint faster as Kuma had no available Speed Counters for use. But Akio was wrong.
"TRYING TO OUTSPEED ME ROOKIE. WELL GUESS AGAIN!" Kuma screamed as Akio tried to take the lead but with a well timed attack, Kuma's muscly bike steered off Akio to the side, causing him to lose speed as Kuma regained the lead.
"Dammit! Not Again!" Akio cursed under his breath as he tried to regain his balance.
Akio hit the accelerator, hoping to catch Kuma. But as he looked up to see where Kuma's big muscly bike was, it was too late. Kuma reached the Checkpoint and gained a Speed Counter and five hundred additional Life Points.
(Kuma LP 1000+500=1500)
(Kuma SC:3)
"Ha ha Ha..." Kuma laughed "Its time!"
"ALRIGHT ROOKIE, thanks to your inferior skill at using a D-Wheel, let me introduce you to one of my elites!" Kuma announced loudly to the Rookie Officer lagging behind. "Your monster that you've lent me will help greatly in bringing in my high level ace monster."
"Now then rookie, hopefully you learned this at the Duel Academy but if not, let me give you a lesson they forgot to TEACH YOU!" Kuma then began his explanation.
"As every duelist is aware, Level Four monsters are not only the most common available monsters, they are also easy to use and summon. Because of this, Tuner Monsters Level four and higher are less readily available. Level four tuners in particular, have negative effects. This is to curb attempts at using Level four tuners and Level four non tuners to easily Synchro Summon Level eight monsters, the most efficient and practical Synchro ace monsters."
"I see. I am enlightened, I guess everyone has to learn new things everyday," Akio sarcastically replied.
"I am well aware of the weaknesses that many Level four tuners have. I myself wield a couple of Level four tuner monsters in my deck. But that doesn't matter. My skills and my power will compensate for that weakness" Kuma added to his teaching lesson.
"Now then, I Normal Summon the Level Four Tuner monster, Warlord-Bear Grizzly Hero to the field!" Kuma declared. (Hand:1)
A massive grizzly bear clad in a red cape and thick iron and leather armor materialized out of a portal beside Kuma's D-Wheel. The grizzly bear pulled out a two-handed axe from his back. The Bear stood on its hind legs, running alongside Kuma.
"Its time to bring out my elite monster. First, I equip my Warlord-Bear Sun Mystic with the Equip Spell, War Bear Medal to increase its Level by two." Kuma said as a golden medal was placed on Sun Mystic's robe.
(Warlord-Bear Sun Mystic level 2-4)
"Next, I pay one thousand Life Points in order to Synchro Summon with my Grizzly Hero." Kuma declared as his Life Points took damage.
(Kuma LP 1500-1000=500)
"I tune my Level four Grizzly Hero with my Level four Sun Mystic and your Level two Six Samurai - Irou, I Synchro Summon my LEVEL TEN MONSTER, WARCHIEF-BEAR GOLD LEADER!" Kuma proudly declared as Grizzly Hero morphed into the green glowing rings that would encompass Six Samurai Irou and Warlord-Bear Sun Mystic.
(4+4=2=10)
"WARRIORS OF PRIMAL FURY, COME OUT AND LEAD YOUR TROOPS TO GLORY! SYNCHRO SUMMON. COME OUT! LEVEL TEN! WARCHIEF-BEAR GOLD LEADER" Kuma chanted with pride as a large hulking brown bear wielding a golden axe, a golden shield, and full golden armor as well as a golden helmet. The bear stood tall on its hind legs. Warchief-Bear Gold Leader pointed his axe straight ahead with confidence and Kuma's two other monster's started looking more and more confident and inspired by Warchief-Bear Gold Leader's presence.
(Warchief-Bear Gold Leader /Level 10 /ATK 3900 /DEF 3800)
"With Warchief-Bear Gold Leader out onto the field, All Warlord Bear monsters that I control have their original attack and defense doubled!" Kuma revealed to the rookie as to why the Warlord-Bear monsters suddenly looked inspired all of a sudden.
(Warlord-Bear Black Thief ATK 1200-2400)
(Warlord-Bear Brown Spy ATK 1800-3600)
"Now its time to meet the imposing might of my Warchief-Bear Gold Leader, Rookie!" Kuma said.
"Warchief-Bear Gold Leader, DESTROY THE ROOKIE'S SIX SAMURAI!" Kuma ordered his Synchro ace.
"Not so fast. I have two speed counters and I will use both of them to negate your attack. Not so tough you?!" Akio responded as Warchief-Bear Gold Leader's mighty axe swing bounced off by the impenetrable force field, protecting Six Samurai - Kamon from destruction.
"I'm not done YET!" Kuma replied back. "With my Black Thief equipped with his war Bear Cloak, I get to perform a direct attack. WARLORD-BEAR BLACK THIEF, ATTACK THE ROOKIE DIRECTLY!" Kuma ordered
Warlord-Bear Black Thief suddenly vanished from Kuma's field only to appear right behind Akio. Warlord-Bear Black Thief plunged its two daggers into Akio's back, dealing damage to the rookie officer.
"Uhhhgh..." Akio grunted in pain as his Life Points took damage. Warlord-Bear Black Thief then vanished in an instant and appeared back at Kuma's side.
(Akio LP 3600- (2400/2= 2400)
"Through the effect of War Bear Cloak equipped to my Warlord-Bear Black Thief, any damage it inflicts is halved" Kuma explained.
"But that doesn't matter. Because I activate the effect of my Black Thief!" Kuma loudly declared.
"You do not have enough Life Points in order to use your Black Thief's effect," Akio pointed out.
Then all of a sudden, Akio lost five hundred Life Points.
(Akio LP 2400-500=1900)
"What the hell is this trickery. Are you hacking the system Bandit!?"? Akio accused Kuma of cheating.
"Are you Tops scum accusing us Commons of cheating?!" Kuma accused back. "This is a repayment of the so called hospitality that the Tops and the High Council that you SERVE, which will be repaid BACK TO YOU!" Kuma screamed.
"And this is exactly what my Warchief-Bear line of monsters specialize in. If I have to pay Life Points for an effect with my War Bear cards, my opponent is forced to pay THEM FOR ME INSTEAD as long as I control a Warchief-Bear monster!" Kuma proudly screamed again.
"What?! I have to pay Life Points to a bandit!" Akio responded in an alarming tone
"Yes Rookie. Yes... You're Life Points that you so kindly donated will contribute greatly to my victory!" Kuma replied back with a smirk.
"Now my Warlord-Bear Black thief will allow me to take control of your Six Samurai - Kizan," Kuma said as Kizan disappeared from Akio's field and reappeared onto Kuma's side. "Thanks to your the contributions that you TOPS GAVE A COMMONS for the first time," Kuma growled with an insulting tone.
"No... My field is empty. I am vulnerable to a direct attack..." Akio mused as the situation was clear as day.
"NOW THEN. YOU CANNOT BEAT ME ROOKIE. WARLORD-BEAR BROWN SPY, ELIMINATE THE ROOKIE OUT OF THIS DUEL!" Kuma screamed in an assuring tone as his Warlord-Bear Brown Spy dashed Towards the D-wheel of Akio and slashed both Akio and the D-Wheel. Akio screamed as his Life Points plummeted all the way down to zero, causing his D-Wheel to Spin out of control as Kuma dashed towards safety.
(Akio LP 1900 - 2400=0 KUMA WINS)
...
As the dust of the battle settled, Akio looked up. Then he looked down at his built in Duel Disk of his D-Wheel, contemplating his defeat.
Akio was a talented Duelist. He was one of the top stars of the Duel Academy he studied at. Three months on the job and only to end up as a rookie nineteen year old officer having the misfortune of going against a supposed Bandit Leader. On the field experience was a completely different thing then beating other Duel Academy students in a duel in a controlled environment.
Akio had found out on his first time on a solo patrol gig that the big leagues were truly for men and women and men and women only.
"I Lost." Akio said. "But I will get stronger. I will bring peace to this city. I will fight and defeat that Bandit Leader," Akio resolved as he sped off into the distance.

Author's Note
If you are wondering why there is no preview for the next chapter, it is because I am having trouble finding a way to introduce the third main character, Lupa Okami to the story.
With that said, I have a major announcement. First off, a shout out to Donjusticia and Frost190, two reputable fanfic authors. Read their stories, Signs of Renewal by Donjusticia and Bonds of Pendulum and its Sequel by Frost190.
Anyways I have had discussions with these two mentioned fanfic authors about Turbo Duels, Standing Duels and action elements featured in Duels such as two racers racing for the checkpoint and having to fiercely compete against each other in order to receive certain advantages like receiving extra Life Points etc. Compared to Standing Duels where Duelists just stand there and play cards which is easier to write. Frost190 told me that I should not force myself to write Duels with conditions that are too hard for me to write, otherwise the writing and quality will not be up to par.
Anyways, since it makes it easier on me as a writer to write Standing Duels and Speed Duels, I have decided that Turbo Duels will stay. Speed Duels are introduced. Duels on D-Wheels use the Speed Duel format and any ultimate Duels will either be Standing Duels or Turbo Duels.
And last but not least, I will be including the once per Duel Skill mechanic into Yugioh Legend of the Gray Signer with the support of Frost190 and Donjusticia. Expect Skills to be present in all formats of Dueling in Yugioh Legend of the Gray Signer. So from Chapter 3 and beyond, Skills will be present as a mechanic in this story.
Thanks for reading. Hope you liked this chapter. Please review this chapter and please keep out any coarse language out of your reviews. Thanks.
