*Cairo Egypt, café 2:00 pm LST*
Jeremy sat with small coffee in hands, and closed his eyes, and every time he did, he always remembered that day.
(Flashback)
Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for your NEW Freedom Cup Champion, COLIN KENNAT!
Colin stood in the Middle of Madison Square Garden holding up the Freedom cup Trophy, while Confetti fell from above him and victorious music played in the background.
Colin: HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?
Jeremy just stood on the sidelines, happy for his friend…but still a little sad.
(End Flashback)
Jeremy: *Thinks: I never even had my chance to duel against him…*
Colin: Hey Rita, if you wear that waitress outfit more often, you could fulfill a lot of Mine and Chris's fantasies!
Jeremy opened his eyes and Saw Rita, punching Colin and Chris in the back of the head.
Colin: OW!
Chris: OW! He said it not me!
Rita was wearing her waitress uniform and was again working for the café.
Jeremy: Rita, I'm curious why are working for the café?
Rita: Cause I need the money. Not all of us have the luxury of getting sponsorships!
Colin: Oh Right, you're not allowed to accept sponsorships! Sucks to be you, heheh!
Rita had that angry look on her face.
Rita: I dare you to say that again!
Krystal: I didn't know you guys had sponsorships. Who do you got sponsoring ya?
Colin took off the headphones that were around his neck and he shows her the red stars on them.
Colin: Red Star Electronics! I wear these and I get $15,000 for every duel I wear them in!
Rita: $15,000? Wait, if you have so much money, how come you always skip out on the check?
Jeremy: Because he's a cheap ass!
Chris: 'Cause he's a cheap ass!
Colin: Because I'm a cheap ass!
The three guys said that at the exact same time.
Rita: Oh… Glad to see you're all on the same page.
Colin: And Jeremy's got a Sponsorship with Dr. Popsi-cola!
Jeremy: It's ice cold and deeply refreshing! The official soda of dueling!
When Jeremy said that, he looked like he was taking a pose for a commercial and Chris had a camera out and he filmed it.
Chris: Cut! That was perfect, Jerome!
Colin: Can I see that camera?
Colin takes the camera, throws it onto the ground, stomps on it and then kicks it into the distance.
Colin: Whoops, I dropped it.
Krystal: Why are you guys so mean to each other?
Colin: Were we being mean? Guys, have we been being mean with each other?
Jeremy: Nope, we just are the way we usually are.
Rita: Wow, that's scary.
Jeremy: Anyway, we need to check out our competition, so I think we need to go see a duel.
Krystal: Oh, I know! I here's this good one in the east stadium!
Jeremy: Who's dueling?
Krystal: Some guy you never heard of against a guy you won't remember!
Colin: What have we got to lose?
Rita: You guys go on ahead, I gotta work.
The group, minus Rita, made their way to the east stadium and got some seats in Section A, Row 14 Seats 19-22. The seats were cold and metal and Colin's seat felt uncomfortable, so he kept jumping on it to make it comfy.
Jeremy: Colin, you really shouldn't really do that.
Colin: I'll do what I wanna do! I don't need-
The chair broke and Colin's ass landed on the cold hard cement floor.
Colin: Gah! Dammit!
Jeremy: Told you so.
MC: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is a turbo-duel! Introducing first, from New Domino City, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Crow!
Crow rode onto the track on his duel runner, circled the track, and could hear the cheers from all of the fan girls.
Krystal: That's the guy you never heard of!
MC: Now, introducing his opponent! A two-time Silver Cup champion from Toronto, Canada. Give it up for Ryan Edge!
Ryan's entrance was covered in smoke and his duel runner shot through the smoke in a spectacular fashion. His duel runner was a spectacular blue with silver dragons painted on the sides. When Ryan made his way around the track, he stood on top of his duel runner and held his arms up. This excited the crowd incredibly and they just roared.
Krystal: That's the guy you won't remember!
Ryan eventually sat back in his duel runner and met up with Crow at the starting gate.
Crow: That was a little show-offish, don't ya think?
Ryan: Absolutely, why do you think I did it?
Crow: Because you're past your prime?
Ryan: *chuckles* We'll see.
MC: Gentlemen, are you ready?
The starting light flashed yellow… yellow… yellow… yellow… GREEN!
Both: Duel!
The two runners dashed out of the gates, heading down the tracks. Ryan made the first turn, so he gets the first turn.
Ryan (SC 0) (LP 4000): I'm going first! *draws* I'll summon Lord of Dragons (Lv.4 1200/1100) in attack mode! And I'll set three cards face-down and end my turn!
Crow (SC 0) (LP 4000): *draws, gains Speed Counter* Since you have a monster and I don't, I can summon Blackwing-Sirocco the Dawn (Lv.5 2000/900)! And since there's a Blackwing on my field, I can summon from my hand Gale the Whirlwind (Lv.3 1300/400)! Now, I'll have Gale attack your Lord of Dragons!
Gale the Whirlwind flies at Lord of Dragons and destroys him, inflicting 100 points of damage to Edge.
Crow (SC 1): And now Sirocco will attack you directly!
Ryan (SC 1) (LP 3900): I activate the Trap Card Split Level! I can choose one of two effects! I can either halve the damage I take or I can take full damage and gain two Speed Counters! And I'll just take the Speed Counters!
Crow: You what?
Sirocco struck Edge with his claw, dealing him 2000 points of damage and increasing his Speed Counters by 2.
Ryan (SC 3) (LP 1900): Ugh, that hurt! Now I can activate my other Trap! Last Grasp! Since I took a direct attack, I can bring back one Level 4 or below monster from my Graveyard!
Lord of Dragons reappears onto the field.
Crow: I'll set two cards face-down and end my turn!
Ryan: *draws, gains Speed Counter* Now that I have 4 Speed Counters, I can activate the Speed Spell Speed Fusion to fuse from my hand Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Meter Dragon in order to Fusion Summon the Meteor Black Dragon (Lv.8 3500/2000)!
Crow (SC 2): Damn! He tripped me right into that!
Ryan (SC 4): Now my Meteor Black Dragon will attack your Gale the Whirlwind!
Meteor Black Dragon fired a molten fireball at Gale the Whirlwind, eradicating her and 2200 Life Points from Crow.
Ryan: Oh, and before I forget, I activate my Trap!
Crow (LP 1800): Before you flip that over, I'll activate my Trap Anti Crow-Delta Reverse! If there's a Blackwing on my field, all of your face-down Spell and Trap Cards are destroyed!
Ryan's face-down Dragon Amulet Trap Card. When activated, it equips to Lord of Dragons and forces whatever monster that attacks it to attack the Dragon-type monster with the highest attack points.
Crow: Whoa! Dodged a bullet there! That would've really hurt me!
Ryan: Grr… I'll just end my turn!
Crow: *draws, gains Speed Counter**thinks: I can attack his Lord of Dragons, but then his Meteor Black Dragon will decimate any monster I play! I need to find a way to take it out!* I summon Blackwing-Blizzard the Far North (Lv.2 1300/0) in attack mode! Now, thanks to his ability, when he's Normal Summoned I can bring a Level 4 or below Blackwing back from the Grave, so come on back Gale the Whirlwind! Now, I'll tune Gale the Whirlwind and Sirocco the Dawn in order to Synchro Summon Black-Winged Dragon (Lv.8 2800/1600)! I'll end my turn with one card face-down!
Ryan (SC 5): *thinks: HA! Sucker! He's too oblivious to attack Lord of Dragons! Now his precious Blackwings are going to pay for it!* My move! *draws, gains 1 Speed Counter*
Crow (SC 4): *thinks: C'mon! Do exactly what I think you're gonna do!*
Ryan (SC 6): I will have Meteor Black Dragon attack Black-Winged Dragon!
Meteor Black Dragon Fired another Molten Fire Ball and it head strait for Black-winged Dragon.
Crow: *thinks: Yes!* I Activate the Trap, Blackwing Spirit! I can remove one Blackwing monster in my graveyard from play, and for one battle phase, one of my other Blackwings on the field gains attack power! So I'll remove Sirocco from play, so Black-Winged Dragon's attack increases!
The Molten Fire ball Struck Black-winged Dragon, but had no effect as it's attacked jumped to 4800. Black-Winged Dragon then counterattacked, with a black flamed inferno which destroyed Meteor Black Dragon and dealing 1300 points of Damage to Ryan.
Ryan (Lp.300): DAMN IT! Fine, I'll set one card Face down and end my turn.
In the stands, the group continued to watch as Crow was about to put the duel away.
Jeremy: Looks like Crow will win this one.
Colin: Jeremy! I'm ashamed of you! You should know better then to-
Colin then noticed something odd about Ryan as he was dueling.
Krystal: Something wrong Colin?
Colin saw a kid in the row ahead of him watching the duel with binoculars, so Colin stole them from the kid and used them himself.
Kid: Hey jerk face! Give that back!
Colin looked through the binoculars at Edge and it looked like he was talking to someone, and when he talked, Lord of Dragons responded.
Colin: Guys, he's talking to Lord of Dragons!
Krystal: So? I can talk to Command Knight!
Colin: …Think Krystal! WHY can you talk to Command Knight?
Krystal thought for a moment until it finally sunk in. Ryan must have been a Rose Duelist!
Ryan: Yeah, I kinda messed up, didn't I LD?
Lord of Dragons: Yes you did, I told to never let your ego get in the way. But did you listen? Noooo!
Ryan: Hey, can't blame me for that! He set those ducks up to be shot down! Don't worry, I'll fix it.
Crow: *draws, gains Speed Counter* *thinks: Finishing him off will be easy, but that face-down might turn things around!* Blizzard the Far North, attack his Lord of Dragons!
Blizzard flew up high and dive-bombed Lord of Dragons, but its attack was stopped short as a magical shield appeared before Lord of Dragons.
Crow (SC 5): Whoa! What's that?
Ryan (SC 7): My Trap Card Dragon Lord's Spirit Shield! By removing two dragons in my Graveyard from play, I can neutralize all attacks for the rest of this turn!
Crow: All right! I'll end my turn, then!
Ryan draws and Dragon Lord's Spirit Shield is destroyed.
Ryan (SC 8): *thinks: Oh, yes! Thank you! This is the card I needed!* I summon the tuner monster, Level Stealer (Lv.1 0/0) to the field!
Level Stealer looks like one of the Level stars with a hat, gloves and boots.
Ryan: And I can activate its ability! I can steal any Level from your monsters as I want and add those to Level Stealer! And I'm going to steal four from your Black-Winged Dragon!
Black-Winged Dragon's Level was lowered to 4 and Level Stealer's Level increased to 5 and it grew 4 times its size.
Ryan: I will now, tune, my Lv5 Level Stealer with my Lv4 Lord of Dragons to Synchro Summon, THE BLACK DRAGON KNIGHT (Lv9 3600/3300)!
A Knight, covered from head to toe in Heavy Black Dragon-scaled armor emerged, swinging a giant Sword around, ready to cut down its enemies.
Ryan: When Black Dragon Knight is successfully Synchro Summoned, all dragon-type monsters on the field are destroyed!
The Black Dragon Knight Swung it's sword at the Black-winged Dragon and destroyed the mighty beast.
Crow: Oh, Shit I'm in trouble!
Ryan: Black Dragon Knight, attack Blizzard the Far north and end this duel!
Black Dragon Knight swung its mighty sword once more, and destroyed Crow's Blizzard the far north. Crow took 2300 damage to his life points. Both duelists returned to the starting lanes and shut off their runners.
Crow (Lp.0): Well, I blew that…
Ryan (Lp.300): Hey man, good duel.
Crow looked over and saw Ryan holding out his hand. Crow smiled and shook his hand. It's great to see there is still sportsmanship out there.
MC: INCREDIBLE! INPROVABLE! THIS DUEL HAS GOT TO Be…*Sigh*…I don't get paid enough for this…
Colin: Hey guys, let's go pay Ryan a visit! After all, we got to pay him back when he took the check from my coffee.
Jeremy: What do you mean "we"?
Colin: Fine. Fine. You'll pay him back for the coffee.
Meanwhile, in the VIP suite, Clyde Edwards had watched the entire duel. He was one his cell phone, talking to someone.
Edwards: Yeah it's me…add 'Black Dragon Knight' and 'Black-Winged Dragon' to our list. We are gonna be going home with the El Dorado of Duel Cards when this tournament is over!
Ryan was in the duel-runner garage, working on his duel runner when Colin showed up.
Colin: Heeeeey there Guy! What's up?
Ryan looked up from his runner and removed his goggles.
Ryan: Huh? Kennat? What are you doing here?
Colin: Oh you know, just walking around. Hey, I was wondering if you heard about the new duelist trend.
Ryan: Can't say that I have.
Colin: Oh it's kinda cool actually; duelists now go around putting Mark's on their hand's that look like roses. Kinda like this!
Colin showed him the red rose Mark on his hand. Ryan smiled, removed one of his gloves, and revealed a Blue rose mark on his hand.
Colin: So you did hear of that trend!
Ryan: Yeah, go figure.
Colin: So what? You battle the Big Black Beast too?
Ryan: So you saw this thing then?
Colin: Don't think so, just moving shadows along the walls. Wait, how'd you even awaken to your rose?
Ryan: Actually it was during the first round, I was in a very intense duel, losing with only 100 life points left, and Lord of Dragons just started talking to me. Next thing you know, I draw a good card, win the duel. How bout you?
Colin: It just happened for me.
Ryan: Really? You're just walking down the street all of sudden, you're a Rose Duelist?
Colin: Yeah, my Dark Magician girl Came alive, pushed me into a wall, and I became a rose duelist.
The Spirit of the Dark Magician girl appeared.
DMG: I didn't PUSH you! You WALKED into it!
Colin: Tell that to my Broken Nose!
Ryan laughed as the Spirit of Lord of Dragon's appeared.
LD: I wouldn't laugh if I were you…didn't you mysteriously fall down the stairs the other day?
Ryan: Yeah…I'm gonna get you back for that!
Colin: So there's, Me, you, Rita, Jeremy, and Krystal…that's 5…DMG, you said there were 9 total?
DMG: Yeah that's right.
Colin: So there are only 4 more!
Ryan: That's good, find them, beat the big black beast (as you call it) and make it home in time for supper. Shouldn't be that hard-
Tinker came by and his eyes lit like stars when he saw Ryan's duel runner!
Tinker: HOLY CRAP! That's…That's…That's the new XC-Twin engine Excalibur Runner! The BLUEPRINTS for this duel-runner can't even be found yet! How'd you get it!
Ryan: Stole it.
Tinker: OH Please please please please PLEASE! Let me take a look at it! I'll just DIE if I miss this Opportunity!
Ryan: Sure, go ahead.
Colin: Oooh, you shouldn't have said that.
Ryan: Why's that?
Tinker ran off and ran straight back carrying all his tools. The lowered his steel torch mask, and fired up his Blow torch.
Tinker: Let's have a look, under that hood!
Ryan: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR GONNA DO TO MY RUNNER?
Ryan yelled at Tinker but he wouldn't listen. Colin laughed as he walked away.
Colin: Don't get carried away old man! Have fun you two.
Colin continued to laugh as he walked out of the garage.
