Last time on SH's Windy Journey-Toonami Dual: The trip to the banks was a rough start, since both of SH's refused to cooperate. Petzhouse, SH's short- term enemy was robbing a bank but was stopped by SH's powerful cane and Ryoko's speed. But a conspiracy of unknown measures lies for SH, will he be ready to take the challenge?!?

"Race to the Finish!" By Super Hurricane

Twang! Twang! The horseshoes fell like hailstones all over the cement floor outside the bank. Ryoko was barely struggling from the weight, but she was annoyed that progress was slow.

"How many horses did your grandpa deshoe?" she asked as another 23 horseshoes fell out.

I think about that for a second, and answered, "99, I think."

Thunk! Ryoko threw the box to the floor and the remaining horseshoes fell out like a river of metal. I cringed at the impact. Dusting her hands, she got on Kero and offered me a hand. Gathering up the Element cards inside, I took it and we flew off on Kero's back.

As we flew over the apartments, I took a gander at the cards I now had possession of.

Sword and Shield (Looked like the Clow Cards attached to each other with a fighter in between) Jurian Emblem(Looked like a red coat of arms with a tree in the middle) Item Takeover (Looked like the one scene when Sailor Moon nearly had her crystal nearly destroyed by darkness) Voltage Depletion (Looked like 2 Mobile Suits, one drained of electricity awhile the other one was sucking in it) Win-Win Toll ( Looked like one of those things at Los Vegas, you know the ones with the lever, that had three sickles shooting out of the slot) Terminal Blackout (Looked like a kid with one of those Reality VR helmets on that are used for registered duelists.) Piccolo-DBZ

I shook my head in doubt, some of the cards I knew, and some I didn't. The cards that I did know, were very risky. The ones I didn't know will require research. Ryoko nudged me to get attention. I sighed,

"What?" I asked.

"Dollar for your thoughts." She said, waving a credit in my face. I hope that she didn't take it from the bank.

"Well, the element cards will be good in a tight spot, but they're a chance taker." I said, as Kero started to drop down altitude as soon as we reached our apartment.

"Don't worry, I'm good with chances." She said, smiling. We landed and stepped off Kero's back.

"If you need a ride, call me." He said to Ryoko winking. That earned him a slap on the cheek.

"Keroberos, return!" Kero reverted back to "toy" mode, and shrunk and transformed into a card. I picked it up and looked at it, it showed him shooting a stream of fire as his wings spread out across the sky.

"Do you want me to revert back to a card?" Ryoko asked, as I opened the apartment door with my keycard.

"Nah, besides everyone's outssssiiiide!" I suddenly was face to face with my landlord and panicked.

"Hello, Mr. Hurricane." She said with the dullness of a postal worker. Which was a bit weird, usually she's hyper because of all the sugar in her food. She was a squat old woman, with a humped back and her gray hair stuffed into a bun, and barely seeable eyes, covered by a blanket of wrinkles. She also has 32 granddaughters, who she attempts to pair me up with every 3 months since I'm alone in my apartment. I'm not interested in them because each of them have three qualities that annoy me: They try to break my glasses, they're very loud, and their breath can stun a skunk.

"Oh, Ms. Taka, nice to see you there! How was the meeting with those builder's union?" I asked, Ryoko in my shadow.

"It had a rough start, but I got the deal to destroy those annoying condos with the ghosts." She said. Ms. Taka insists on seeing a woman fly through the wall and the pottery floating in the condos. I think it's a aftereffect of the coffee she drinks. "Oh, and I got your new roommate approved."

"You WHAT?!?" I yelled, and she slapped me on the head.

"Shhhhh. Loud noises frightens renters, don't do that!" She warned. She then took out a application form and walked out of the apartment into her Hovervan. She didn't even notice Ryoko, which was strange also, since she usually gives girls that I like a mental thrashing.

"Okay, that was weird. Let's go up to my pad to check out the new houseguest who is probably a moocher." I said, and Ryoko gave me a funny look as we walked up the stairs to my room. As I opened the door, I was shocked.

All over the right side of my room, was posters everywhere, trading cards, books, comics! There was even a gold pyramid with a eye in the middle. I took a book from the shelf that was mine, the shelf, and looked at it, " 'How to be a Card Master'?" I asked aloud to myself. Ryoko tensed up as the knob to the bathroom opened and the flush of the toilet.

"Ryoko, no." I whispered, but Ryoko armed herself anyway with a wooden chair and crept towards the side of the door.

"Man, I should go easy on those pickles." A light-hearted voice said as the door opened and the persons head came out. Ryoko struck.

Wham! The guy fell to the ground, KOed by the now broken chair.

I glared at Ryoko, who put the chair back and smiled, as she reverted back to card form. I picked her up and looked at the stranger. It was definitely a He, probably 16 at the most, a bit short though. Blue unbuttoned jacket, purple shirt, matching blue pants and boots. His hair was a mix of yellow, red and black, with the yellow in front.

I changed the clock and then proceeded to wake the poor guy up. By using one of my socks in front of his nose. The stench instantly woke him up.

"Aaah! Men, they're gassing us! Huh?" He woke up, started to see me. I grinned, noticing his red eyes. Or were they purple?

"Hi, there. I was just coming in and noticed you were out of it." I said, and he looked at the clock. In his mind, he believed that he'd been laying there for two hours.

I guess I have."He said, his hand stretching out, "Name's Yami." I took his hand and raised him off the floor, "Super Hurricane, but you can call me SH."

"Ah, so you're the guy I'm set up with." Yami said, nodding, "I am pleased that I am with a duelist who decorates this nice."

"You're a duelist?" I asked, looking up and down.

"And one of the most active members of the "Bring Yu-Gi-Oh Into The Real Duel" Club!" He said excitedly. I nodded, he was one of those people who wanted super powerful monsters with their helpless and unguarded human friends. It was annoying how the council frowned on that decision.

"Well, then. Now that we've been introduced, can we have a duel now? I haven't had one since I beat the legendary Damos." He said, and I gaped. 'Damos, the famous Fire Champion?' I thought in shock. But then I grinned. He must be of a close rank to mine to challenge me to official duel. Might as well go up a rank.

"Deal!" I said, extending my hand. He took it and gripped it as strong as mine. I hope I did the right choice.

We decided to have a open valley as our battlefield. Thankfully, no people, although they could at least have put a gas tanker or something explosive. I like explosions. There was a few rocks there and here, and fresh dirt streaming all over. I frowned as my good shoes were getting dirty.

It was a 2000 HP, Three Card Duel, no limits on element cards and arsenals. Yami called ahead to the commission, and they gave the go ahead. After all, he was pretty far in rank, and undefeated, which was impressive. But of course I didn't care, I just wanted to show what I got!



Suddenly a loud bang sound is made from across the valley as a large smoke cloud has appeared out of nowhere.

'Looks like we'll duel there where the cloud was.' I thought as we walked over to two large podiums. I chose red, Yami chose blue. The dusts settled and what appears what have made the loud bang sound was non-other than the white judge within his capsule with the front raising. I heard that they make them out of the material that keeps buildings from collapsing in Earthquakes, not to mention they have dozens of human metalworkers repairing their joints after each battle.

"This is a designated area, all citizens or civilians must leave the battle site when the duels are occurring. Scanning area... Will the two that will be dueling please approach their podiums." Said the white judge.We managed to get to the podium and climb up our ladders to the control units without slipping on the greasy bars. (It rained last night).

"Get your cards ready duelists, make sure to choose them wisely. Both players will get 2000 life points and the one down to zero loses. Put on your VR helmets! MATCH 23,576,264.Y1- Super Hurricane vs. Yami!" Instructed the white judge while we put on our helmets. I sniffed inside it and fought the urge to gag. Why? Because someone put Mr. Clean to keep it from getting dirty. Of course, the smell was horrible.

"The outside of the field will be now safe with the diamond shield. Whatever attack that is missed while attacking, the attack will be either canceled out or bounce back." Said the white judge as clear emerald shields with vibrate noises secures the outside of the battlefield. I could use something like that when studying in the library.

"One on one, are you ready?" I asked, picking up a card to play. I smiled at the card, it was a Rapidash, and I always did like horses.

"Indeed." Yami said, but his voice was deeper, more stronger than before. His hair went up and edged into 5 points, as his eyes turned a dark purple. That, and he looked like he was squinting to look at me.

'What the heck?' I thought, and then it clicked like a smoking gun. 'So, the famous Yami has a dual personality. I've heard of these cases in which duelists can age to match their opponents experience. However, Yami must have a different personality. Oh well, a fights a fight.'

"LET'S DUEL!" We said at the same time as we inserted our cards.

"Representing from Super Hurricane's Deck, Rapidash!" The judge said, as the flaming horse jumped out of the ground and neighed a battle cry. "And representing from Yami's deck, The Liger 0 Jager!" The Jugde announced as the giant over-sized robot of a beast came out from the ground, it's ion-engines roaing as it bellowed it's challenge. I winced at the roar, but held my ground on this one.

'Hmm, a Jager. Yami must have traded something for that card. After all, it's pretty rare to find something like that on the first draw.' I thought, as Rapidash began to charge toward the behemoth.

"Ready? Fight!!!" The Judge yelled as he crossed his arms.

"Jager, destroy the unicorn." Yami said through his uplink, his words as cold as ice. Our uplinks are designed for our fighters to hear, even through the worst conditions.

"RRROOOOOAAAARR!" Jager yelled as it ran towards Rapidash. Unfortunately, he was in for a surprise.

"Rapidash, double-team as soon as he gets within 100 ft, then use counter!" I whispered through my uplink. Geez, that smell reeks!

Rapidash remained poised, ready to attack. Yami had a stone face, in which no smile came. Darn, I was hoping he would at least leer.

Just as Jager crossed the line where I drew, Rapidash glowed and split into 3 Rapidashes, then 5, then 10!

Soon there was a ring of Rapidashs running around the beast in a ninja formation.

Yami looked at the formation, and cracked a half smile. "Ionic jets, online." He said, and I stared, he saw through my strategy, I'll have to flex the joints a bit.

FWOOOOSH! The boosters were contained, as the jets opened and ignited several of the copies, there was one Rapidash remaining.

'Of course! The jets! Without them, he has no primary weapon besides his energy shotgun!' I thought as Rapidash now ran for a couple of rocks by a cliff for cover. But Jager was in hot pursuit, covering 800 ft per second. I believe that Bit was in the cockpit.

"Rapidash, get to the top of the cliff and use lock-on as soon as I give the signal!" I said silently through my uplink.

Rapidash heard my call and started to scale the cliff, as the Jager climbed behind her. Yami smirked as my eyes watched carefully. Then Jager stumbled on some rocks, buying Rapidash a few seconds.

Clop! Clop! The hooves of the fire unicorn bounced Rapidash to the top, and I waved my hand for the signal. As soon as I waved, Rapidash's horn glowed, as she jumped off the edge, and somersaulted. Jager noticed this and leapt toward Rapidash, strike laser claws active.

"Now, Rapidash! Horn Drill Now!" I yelled, as Rapidash braced herself for the charged shot. Her horn flashed, and both of us closed our eyes from it to prevent blindness.

After a few minutes, the flash ended and we uncovered our eyes to see Jager and Rapidash in separate directions, and with a last roar, Jagers jets blew up and the giant mecha crashed to the ground defeated. Yami smiled as he returned Jager, reverting him back into the deck as a defeated card.

SH LP 2000 Yami LP 1500

"Impressive, SH, but you will soon see why I never lose a match. I lay this card down in defense mode." He put down his card horizonal, and a card- shaped frame flashed on the ground.

'What is he up to?' I thought as Rapidash was running towards the card. "Rapidash, stomp the thing."

Wham! Fwoooossh! "Neeeeeeee!" Rapidash struck the card, and immediately exploded into pieces. A hand was reaching out, as the smoke where Rapidash stood. That hand belonged to Vegeta, prince of the Saiyan race.

'What the? How did he get that card?' I thought, leaning in.

SH Life Points 1400 Yami Life Points 1500

"You see, SH, it is not brawn nor clever strategy alone that wins battles. No, it is faith and trust in your deck that brings out their full potential." Yami said, eyes squinting, "Your move."

"Okay, whatever you say." I said, as I picked out the card that would beat Vegeta, "I summon Ryoko, the caller of the demon world!"

Next time: Greetings, puny earth creatures, I am the great Vegeta, ruler of all worlds! To make this summary as quick as possible so you may admire my figure and good looks, Yami had sent me out to dish out pain to this female witch. Her temper is as rash as Bulma's! Anyways, we fight, blah, blah, blah, and SH picks out a card that not even I can defend against!Can my superior charm and luck help out Yami? Find out in Pt 2: "Space Pirates and Princes! The New Conflict!" Now that I'm done, fan me and feed me grapes that have been peeled, slave!

(Man, it took a while, but I did it. I just hope someone reviews, so I can add them in my fic. That, and I wonder what's taking ND?)
