Hello boys and girls! Welcome to this new chapter! Now I just want to clear some questions up first. Harry and Ron are NOT both competing. Only Harry is a duelist. Ron woudn't knows how to play because he grew up in the wizarding world and doesn't know about muggle games but Harry does. Ron and the others are basically there to make Harry feel more important. In this story wizards are going to be very, very dense. They will do really stupid things such as when Harry bragged about his deck. Also, in this story Harry will have a "better than thou "general attitude. So in short Harry is an idiot in this story along with most of the wizarding world. You also have to understand that a person can't change their attitude in a day. It takes time to fully reveal yourself after having a different attitude for basically six years. And I just felt I had to mention that this is now going to be a BakuraXHermioneXRyou story. Now enjoy and on with the story!
It has been a few hours sense the tournament began. In that time I had dueled two people and won. I had taken both of their locator cards and from the first person Machine King- 3000 B.C. and Gem-Knight Crystal from the other person. It wasn't either of their rarest cards, but I didn't want to ruin someone's entire deck strategy like that. In all honesty the rule made me think too much of Draco Malfoy to even begins to follow the rule.
Walking around the city I come across a duel between what looked like a seven year old child and none other than my old friend, Harry Potter. It seemed like Harry had backed the poor kid up into a corner.
"Temptest Magician, destroy that twerps life points" Harry shouts.
The kid's life points drop to zero and Harry goes over to the kid and picks up his deck. He looks trough the deck and takes two cards and his locator card.
"Well," Harry starts. "You don't have any useful cards to me so I'll just take two instead. That seems fair doesn't it?"
The kid starts silently crying and I knew I had to step up. This was not the Harry Potter that saved me from a troll in first year. This is a monster and a bully that an innocent person that used to be my friend became. I have to get that kids cards back if only to stop the nonsense that Potter is causing.
"Hey Potter" I yell. Potter and his lackeys turn to face me. "You better give those cards back to the poor kid."
"And what if I don't? I don't have to duel you. So what's in it for me?" He asks. I don't think that he recognized me yet. Maybe this could work to my advantage if I play my cards right.
I take my deck and insert it into my duel disk and say with a sly smirk on my face. "You duel me for it. If I win then I get your locater card and the two cards you took of the little boy, if you win then you get my rarest card and the pleasure of kicking me out of the tournament."
"How many locater cards d you have?"He asks. I hold up my three locator card and he continues. "Good then. This can be for the cards and a place I the finals."
"Let's Duel!"
"I'll go first." Harry-no-Potter says. "I play Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer in attack mode. I place one card face down and end my turn."
"My draw then. Keep in mind Potter, I was always told not to try unless I know I can win, and that's exactly what I plan to do." I say. I guess luck was on m side because I had a great starting hand. "I place two cards face down and end my turn."
"That's it." Harry taunts. "Looks like your decks even weaker then you are. Isn't that right Hermione." He must've registered the shocked look that was on my face, though for barely a second, because he then says "What, did you think I was that stupid? I mean really Granger, just because your eyes are different doesn't mean I can't tell. Plus you're the only person who would dare challenge me in anything other then the death eaters and Voldemort." He then draws a card."I set one card face down and activate Terraforming. I now play Magical Citadel of Endymon. After that I think it's about time for my destroyer to do what it does best. Destroy her face down Kycoo."
He attacks my face down, my Man-Eater Bug and destroys it."
"I activate my insects flip effect. Now I choose to destroy your Kycoo. Say goodbye to your monster Harry." I say
"Don't let this little slut beat you Harry!" Ginny shrieks from the side. "It was just a lucky draw. You're to amazing to be beaten by the likes of her."
"You have guts Granger, but that's all you have. Now I end my turn." Harry says. He seems to have finally realized that I won't be an easy opponent.
"I draw. I play Card Trooper in attack mode. Next, I send three cards from the top of my deck to the graveyard making my Trooper's attack points Card Trooper." It attacks and the face down turns out to be Defender, the Magical Knight. My lifepionts then drop from 4000 to 3900. "I guess I end my turn."
"Good choice Granger" Potter says with a vicious smirk on his face. "I now get rid of my Defender, the Magical Knight to summon Trance the Magic Swordsman in attack mode. Now Trance, eliminate that Card Trooper." My lifepoints drop to 3200."I place two cards face down and end my turn. Beat that Mione."
"You can bet I will." I assure. "Time to pick up the pace. I draw. Now I summon Chow Len the Profit in attack mode."
"Don't worry Harry." Ron says. "That guy isn't strong enough to defeat your swordsman."
"That's where you're wrong Ronald." I sneer. "It's funny you think I wasn't ready for that play. To be truthful, I was expecting that. Now, I activate Ego Boost. This means that for this turn my Prophet's attack points raise to 2800. Now Chow Len, attack that swordsman."
As Chow Len goes to attack but Harry interrupts. "I activate Magicians Circle to summon Breaker, the Magical Warrior."
"You forget, Harry that I can do the same. So I summon Strength of Prophecy. Now Chow Len lets finish off that swordsman."
Chow Len destroys Harry's swordsman and Harry's lifepoints drop to 3800. Then Harry activates his other face down. "I play Call of the Haunted to bring back Trance the Magic Swordsman."
"Not so fast Harry." I say. "Haven't you learned by now that I'm prepared for everything? That's including your face down. I chain to activate Royal Prison. Looks like your monster is staying where it should be. In the graveyard. Now, I'll place one card face down and end my turn."
"My draw." Harry says. He pulls a card and smiles. "I summon Frequency Magician in attack mode. Next, I play spell power grasp, giving my Frequency another spell counter. Now, I'll use its effect. By getting rid of my spell counters, I make my magicians attack 1800. Now Frequency Magician, attack Strength of the Prophecy."
"Hold on to that thought." I say. "I activate Pixie Ring. Now, my Strength of Prophecy is protected from your monsters."
"Fine then. I place one face down and end my turn." He finishes.
"My turn to draw then." I say. "First, I summon Vylon Stella to the field. Next I use Strength of Prophecy and Vylon Stella to Synchro summon Lavalval Dragon."
"Synchro summon." Harry utters. "That's not even a real way to summon. What kind of bloody trick is this Granger?"
"This is no trick." I say. "This is a real way to play cards. It just hasn't been brought into existence yet." While everyone else looks shocked, Ron looks at me confuse. "Honestly Ronald I knew you were dense but does everything need to be spelled out for you like it does a child? In third year Professor McGonagall gave me a time turner. I used that to create my deck. I knew that the cards from our time wouldn't suit me fully, so I went into the future and acquired different ones."
"To bad you won't get to use it though because I play Bottomless Trap Hole." Harry says.
I keep and unaffected look on my face and say."It doesn't matter. My Prophet is still strong enough to destroy your breaker. Now Chow Len destroy Breaker the Magical Warrior."
Chow Len wins the battle making Harry's life point's drop to 3600.
"Now, as my ending move, I play Emergency Assistance to bring back Strength of Prophecy. I think I'll end by turn now. Your move chosen one" I say.
Harry turns a bit red and says "Don't call me that. It's my draw. I summon Summoner Monk. Because of its special ability it goes into defense position, but that's not all. By sacrificing one spell card, I can special summon a level four monster from my deck to the field. I summon Breaker the Magical warrior. I set one card face down and end my turn."
"Ok." I say. "If that's all you want to do then I draw. I summon Laval Blaster. Next, I both my prophets and my blaster to XYZ summon Gagagigo the Risen. Now Gagagigo can attack Potters Breaker and to finish off I place one card face down."
Harry's Lifepoints drop to 2250.
"My move." Harry says. "First I sacrifice my Summoner Monk to summon Magical Marionette. Next I play grave robber to take your Ego Boost spell card. I equip that to my Magical Marionette."
"I think I have to stop you there Harry." I say. "You left out one important factor, my face down. I activate Eternal Rest, destroying your marionette."
"I guess I'll end my turn then." Harry says grudgingly.
"You've finally let all that fame get to you Harry. Quite the idiotic thing to do if you ask me." I say disappointingly. "Your ego has risen to high, but I'm here to bring it down. Next time, try to bring skills with your deck. Now, Gagagigo, attack Harry's lifepoints and end this duel."
"Fine Mione." Harry says, handing me the duel monster cards and his three locater cards. "Take those kids stupid cards. There useless to me anyway. Just know that you made more than one enemy today."
I laugh a cold, uncaring laugh. "And you just know that I am not on your side anymore Potter. It's about time I stop being a pawn for the light side." With that Harry, Lavender, Ginny, and Ron all walk away
Suddenly, the little boy that was beaten earlier comes up to me. "Thanks for getting my cards back for me." He says after I had him the cards. He takes one of the duel monster cards that were taken from him. "Take this as thanks for sticking up for me. One day I'll be as good as you. No, I'll even be stronger than the King of Games. That's something you can count on."
I look at the card. It was Trance the Magic Swordsman. I take my side deck and hand him one of my favorite cards, Elemental Hero Burstinatrix. "Here" I say. "Take this. I hope that it will help you on your path to fulfill your dream. Just don't get lost on your way there." As I start to walk away to find my friends I turn around and ask "What is your name? I didn't ask before."
The young boy says "I'm Jaden, Jaden Yuki. And yours?"
"Hermione Granger."
I stop after a few miles to take my six locater cards and insert them into the duel disk. An image of what looked like a stadium popped up.
"Ok then." I say. "So here's the site, but how do I get there?"
My duel disk then started talking "Congratulations." It says in a female computer generated voice. "Our satellite network has confirmed that you are a Battle City Finalist. Stand by for directions to Kaiba Corp. stadium."
"It looks like I made it in." I say. "Now it's just the matter of who the other finalists are. And why this whole tournament was made in the first place." I wasn't stupid. Some big tournament doesn't usually pop up with no warning. It almost always means that something deeper is going on. And I know that I was bound to get tangled in the mess.
