Ties of Friendship
Chazz walked around looking for a worthy opponent, in the midst of the island's lush forest, but he was stopped by a tall teenager who was wearing a a long white overcoat. He held a brief case and had Ocean colored eyes. He looked down on Chazz, as if he were a disgrace.
"I know you, you are the brother of those two half-wits." He said to the youth in a rough voice.
"I have to aggree with the two of them being half-wits, but I am nothing like them."He replied calmly to the apparently arrogant fellow, but stopped himself from further questions when he realized who stood in front of him. "Wait, I know you, your Kaiba!"
"Heh, I guess you are not completly brainless after all." Kaiba retorted.
"Too bad, I thought you would have learned not to talk to your equal in a disrespectful way." Chazz replied cooly.
"It is too bad you do not realize you could never be my equal. To think, I have to waste my time beating you instead of going straight into the Seven Chambers." Kaiba said to the younger, "But Yugi said something about canceling this unless it was fair, so I decided to let it slide. Besides, knocking off a few of these weak duelist is not such a bad idea." Kaiba looked at his watch, "This is taking too long, I cannot believe that I only have three more hours to find someone worht my time to get the last duel in."
"I know what you mean, I have beaten three duelist myself." He said showing his punctured card to Kaiba, "And I would have four if it were not for Pegasus."
"WHAT! Pegasus is here...the real Pegasus, then this changes everything." Kaiba said to himself. "You have just saved yourself another defeat kid. Here is something for your help. I have another dozen at home, so it makes no difference to me, and try to survive so that I can beat you." He said, throwing a card to Chazz who hated the pitty, but accepted anyway. Sweet, now I can destroy Jaden on his Last Turn.
In a remote part of the forest, Jaden cheers Sy on as he defeats his second opponent. "YEAH! Go get him Jaden!"
"You think you have won, huh? Well not yet, because I reveal Sakurestu Armor. This will stop your attack by killing your monster!" Came the voice of the Obnoxious Boy. As the trap revealed itself, the monster, Super Vehicroid- Jumbo Drill, began to fall apart and the pieces faded away.
"That I true, but I have a few tricks of my own. So for now, I will summon Jetroid in attack mode and end my turn." Syrus said in smooth reply.
"Good, cause now, I can shut you down for good. I tribute both of my monster to summon Tri-Horn Dragon in attack mode!" The boy's clumsy hair wavered back and fourth with every move of his hand. "Now my beast! Strike him down."
"Not so fast!" Syrus countered.
"What now?"
"Don't ya know? When Jetroid is targeted for battle, I can play a trap from my hand, and I choose Magic Cylender!" The Fury Fireball attack was redirected back at the owner who took the hit but remained standing. "I'm not done yet Syrus!"
"I was hoping you were not Chris."
"Good cause I will play another facedown and end my turn." Alright Syrus thought C'mon lady luck, have a little crush on me. "YES! Say goodbye to your remaining lifepoints Chris cause I summon Submarinroid in attack mode, and now he will strike you directly!"
"Not bad, If I did not already play this! Reveal Threatening Roar! Now you cannot attack me for this turn."
"Ugh..." Syrus said, thinking Now my Submarinroid won't go to defense. I hope he does not play another monster. "I set a face down and that is that."
"Good" Chris announced pulling a card, "Then my Tri-Horned Dragon will crush your monster."
"Not when I have this! Reveal trap, No Entry! Entry Forbidden!. This will stop your attack and switch your dragon to the defense. How is that huh?"
"Not bad, now let us see you make the most of your free turn." Chris replied calmly. It was easy to see he was a bit worried now. But his worries were calmed when Syrus drew his card. "What? When did this get in my deck!" Syrus could not believe his eyes. There it was, the Ties of Friendship card. "Well, here goes nothing, I play the card Ties of Friendship."
"What in the . . . what is that card . . . what does it do . . . " Chris stuttered. He had never heard of such a card and he was supposed to be an expert of the game. I...I have never heard of that card, so tell me, what does it do?" He said, slightly stressed now.
"This card changes the entire duel, it forces both of us to put our hand and field into our respective deck, excluding this card, then we swap our current decks and graveyards with each other. We each draw 5 cards and it continues the current duel as if it were the first turn of the duel starting on your turn."
"I set a card face down and then I summon Jetroid in attack mode and end my turn." Chris said, trying to get a quick feel for his opponent's deck.
"I play one card face down and pass." Syrus said, replying to Chris' maneuver. He knew what was about to happen though, and showed no worry on his face. He had recieved, a very fortunate hand.
"I draw." Chris said in order to begin his turn.
"You lose, reveal trap, Ring of Destruction to blow up your, or my, Jetroid. Now, we both take damage, but I have enough life points to withstand where as you don't."
"Man, you totally just got lucky with my cards. Wicked awesome card there mate. I will have to take it in our next duel, cause I am upping the ante next time."
"Awesome duel Sy!" You are only one behind me now! Although the guy I fough kinda beat himself by running into my Mirror Gate card." Jaden said to his good friend.
"Yeah, and let us not forget Rebecca Hawkins, she would have beaten you had you not beat her when you did."
"Tell me about it Sy, but let's go look for our next duel, K?" Said Jaden in his happy manner.
"Looks like the duel found you." Came a voice with a slight British accent.
"I will take you on, though I really prefer role-playing games. I think I should warn you, I will be using an occult deck"
"An Occult Deck, that sounds like a ton of fun!" Jaden yelled with confidence.
Syrus objected saying, "Jaden, an Occult Deck often has some of the most powerful fiend cards in the world."
"I know Sy, that is why I had to agree. Just imagine the nightmarish creature's his deck holds."
"Good, I admire your fighting spirit, but I wonder, how long will it last. And before we should continue, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ryuo Bakura."
A/N Okay, this chapter was not what I expected, I wanted to go straight to a Chazz Vs. Kaiba duel, but then I decided to change it and scrapped that chapter (or put it away for later, whatever you think happened ). Also, I like how the next chapter will end because, well, it is just how it should be! Because, I'm good like that. Heh heh.
Continue to review and flame.
