"That's it, that's the start of my new life. Maximilian Pegasus is in front of me, Duke as my partner being nervous but courteous. I don't blame him… I understand his feelings." Caesar looked at Duke who was feeling uncomfortable, but now the time has come, and now that both being before the cannon episodes even happen. Caesar now had pressure over his shoulders. But not just him. Duke nodded to him knowing it was their time to shine. " I cannot let him know how the others saw dungeons dice monsters if he knew that many fans of Yugioh actually didn't care about dungeon dice monsters. He would feel heartbroken…"
Caesar had brought his mullet over the table and took 3 sits around it. And placed his case over before revealing what was inside.
At the moment Caesar opened the case, Duke took the tiled board of 13x19 title wide squares. And making Caesar took a set of 8 boxes inside of the mullet. Each box is the size of a palm, and each Box had a symbol on it. And then took what would be another box with what would be full of paper inside of it and a digital alarm clock.
Caesar gestured his hand, making Pegasus sit in front of the table as he examined the prototypes.
"Mr. Pegasus, what we are going to introduce you will be something which will blow your mind in a way you could just see a great outcome from this project." Duke appeared by the side of his brother as he turned the title board on, it looked so simple but they never could imagine that little title board was in fact digital.
"We name it Dungeons Dice Monster. It's a game about creating a path over the board to the opponent Monster Lord which represents each player naming ourselves as Die Master, and destroying all the opponent's guardians monsters who he even summoned while based on pure luck of rolling the dice." Duke said as he opened one of the 8 little boxes with dices and placed it over the table. From all the dices it was sure there was in fact 3 colors of dice. One yellow, One White, and One Black. Showing each box had in fact major number over the yellow dices than the white and black dices. "All the dices have at least 6 sides, and each color is a different kind of summoning."
While Duke was explaining the rules, as Caesar was looking patiently at the one item that freaked many people over the real world of Yugioh, the eye of the millennium, Duke may not have to know the origins of such item, but Caesar as his other parts of himself knew exactly what kind of character Maximilian Pegasus was. And each glimpse of light appearing from the eye was known by him that he was in fact learning the rules from the best and even taking the memories of construction inside of Duke without him knowing it.
After 10 minutes explaining the rules, Caesar saw the satisfaction over Mr. Pegasu's face, and enjoyment of the proposition of the idea, and wanting to try.
"Interesting concept boys, you first got my curiosity, now you got my interest. I want to see by my own eyes how this would be a good introduction over my company." Mr. Pegasus applauded while he looked at the box with interest.
"So this is the sets you have been talking about?" After Pegasus asked about the sets, Caesar interrupted his brother and decided to lead the conversation.
"Yes Mr. Pegasus, allow me one of the concepts which we pridefully we can call over this idea. We call the sets archetypes because each set has one archetype of a monster. Not just the type of monster, or attribute, Architype itself. A theme with each monster has over his own rules." I said while I examined some boxes, and then I found something which made me smile. "If you want to give a try Mr. Pegasus, I know you would love this one."
Mr. Pegasus looked at the transparent box, while inside of the box there were some dices on it, and over the box, there was a cartoonish rabbit symbol. He looked curious.
"This one is named the Looney Cartoons." The name itself made Mr. Pegasus look at me like a child who found a treasure of box full of candies.
"Oh ho ho, I already can say Caesar boy, you have a good vision on the sets. Did you create this set? I mean, the archetype?"
"While yes, and no… There are some few monsters Bernard created by himself."
Mr. Pegasus suddenly stopped looking at the box and then he looked at him. It didn't take long until Caesar could see his golden millennium eye shine to him. And after a few minutes of looking at the boy, he then smiled sweetly.
"I see, well it seems the creator of these monsters outdid himself; I wish I could meet him someday? Anyway, are you taking care of yourself well?" The moment he asked that Caesar felt a shrive on his spine, but hold himself together.
"It's Pegasus, one of the mind readers of the anime. I will not freak out from something I know since from the beginning." Caesar shook his head trying to keep calm.
"Er… what do you mean sir?" Duke asked while surprised by the sudden question, while he looked at his brother in concern.
"Don't worry Duke, I sent Mr. Pegasus an email talking about our meeting, and I even explained my symptoms to him, he knows about Russel and Bernard. Isn't that right mister Pegasus?" Caesar used that moment to fake a cough and smiled at the one that could see him clearly as a book, while in his eyes he was giving a hidden message that just Mr. Pegasus understood. He didn't want to Duke know about the secrets of the Millennium items.
"Oh yes, look Duke boy. I wouldn't have actually have allowed this meeting if I wasn't aware of everything about my future partners." The moment he said that I was surprised.
"Really, did you like it?" Duke was shocked by the sudden reaction of Pegasus. "Did you really mean it?"
"Yes, actually from this little box itself is indeed an interesting idea. A thematized box focused on monsters in one theme? It suits my style. If you don't mind… I would like to play a demonstration after hearing the rules." Pegasus said while Caesar smiled at Duke who seemed was in awe and in such happiness, he was frozen. Which both men couldn't blame him. It's a great opportunity for both of them. And Caesar wouldn't mess up.
"Of course, Mr. Pegasus. But firstly, I would like to ask you what kind of duel process do you want to play?" The eldest Devlin asked, making both Duke snap out from his awe and look at his brother in disbelief.
"Duel Process?" Mr. Pegasus asked while Duke looked at his brother like if he was seriously asking if he wants to do that. Receiving a nod in return from Caesar.
"Of course, you see Mr. Pegasus, while a Dungeon Dice monsters would be really interesting between a fusion of our fighting monsters and a bit of chess over a tiled board. The standard game would take a process of 30 minutes or more depending on the luck of the players, and you as a great creator of duel monsters. It wouldn't be a surprise you have many other places to go, and we couldn't waste too much time of you." Caesar was actually telling the truth. He imagined himself many times if he would be the creator of Yugioh he wouldn't want to waste his time too much in meetings. He had many places to go and many new cards to make. He would have to be everywhere every second, giving autographs creating more cards, planning good marketing.
Which Pegasus looked at him and with a simple smile nodded in agreement with the Devlin.
"That's why to make such a difference, we created Duel Processes to make different kinds of games which not only would be different each game, but every game will be different and would be more fun to play." If one thing Caesar knows from his experience in Yugioh, it's how successful some Yugioh youtube channels became famous from duel process like that.
And looking at the curious gaze from Pegasus, it seems he was indeed interested.
"Please enlighten me." Mr. Pegasus said while Caesar took from inside of one set a tiny motorcycle from inside of the set.
"Each set has motorcycle inside of it, the duel process using it is something I call, Turbo Dice Duels Acceleration (TDDA), a game where each player has one kind of motorcycle which their dice masters will be using and each motorcycle has abilities over the game. But to activate them you have to accumulate them over the rounds, each round both players will receive a turbo point, for each dice dimensional summoned with success it will be another turbo point accumulated in your motorcycle. And you can use it in your turn any ability conform the number of turbo points over your motorcycle." Cesar said as he gave a paper with some info from the Looney Cartoons set. "This is the info of how many points you would need to activate what kind of effect from your motorcycle. Making each of them unique. And using the speed points actually makes the game be even faster and ends almost half of the time of the actual game."
As Pegasus looked surprised at the paper in front of him, and at the moment he checked his own box, he found what would be a brown coyote wearing a black leather jacket with black leather gloves, a red white blue helmet, and a badass motorcycle and a big firework fixed on behind of the said motorcycle.
The right eye from Maximillion Pegasus sparkled as he slowly examined the tiny piece like it was a great action figure. Leaving Caesar took his time to bring a simple box with a clock over it. As he placed in front of the creator of games, Caesar seemed to already take his interest in some way, so now it's time to make another good idea to invest.
"And inside of this box has many random rules and circumstances where each minute of game one different rule would be applied at the game, completely destroying the flow of the game and leading it to a random direction which nobody is ready. And the clock has an alarm which would turn on each minute, which somebody would take a rule over the game. This way any game of 30 minutes would become a game of 1 hour, or a game of 10 minutes." Caesar showed the box, making Duke and Mr. Pegasus looked at him with a curious gaze, which was something he wanted at that moment.
While Caesar took his best to explain quickly the rules, Mr. Pegasus was surprised beyond belief, he never thought the one who created DDM would be so far on taking the Abridged series joke too far, and decided to change so many rules to make the game playable for both parts and be quick and fun at the same time.
"Well, if I want to start a new life with my right foot this would be the best way." Caesar thought to himself as he looked at the clock and noticed that he used 10 precious minutes and now he had 20 more minutes to finish the meeting with the objective of making both brothers and Mr. Pegasus partners.
"I wish I could play all the versions with you Mr. Pegasus, but I think it would be for the best if we just play the speed duel version at this moment because you are a busy man and we don't want to take too much of your time," Caesar said while he opened one of the boxes. It was a white box with a Junk Engine, nothing would be the best option he had to make sure the game would be balanced. He wanted to be a quick game but make his opponent enjoy the game as well. And taking a red motorcycle to be placed as a dice master.
"Oh Caesar, are you going to use the Junk Synchron set?" Duke looked surprised with the idea as he looked at his brother with a smile.
"Yep. Now mister Pegasus, you can pick at least 15 dices of each level you want, from level 1 to 4, and your set is known for using the black dices, you need to pick just 5 dices between the levels 1,2 or 3. But be aware you need to think, this game is about using a strategy but with the luck as well, the game isn't always about destroying the opponent's monsters all the time, it's is possible, but there are other options on how to win the game such as beating my dice master 3 times. Each hit counts. So I think you need to think carefully about which one will be." Caesar once smiled as he looked at each dice he wanted and placed his 5 white dice on his side as the other yellow dices were over his side of the title board.
"Oh, lovely… okay now if you please, let's start the game." Mr. Pegasus using his charisma he was still playing the mind games against the elder brother, as he carefully examined each dice and placed his 5 dices in black color on his side and 15 dices in yellow color on his side title board.
"Okay, let's make it official. And I want to repeat at the same time as me, Speed Dice Duel Acceleration. In 3." Caesar placed his red motorcycle over the title board as he made sure to have an abacus on its side.
Pegasus smiled as he placed his own motorcycle over the board. As both mentally watched the board made a simple sound of what would be a motorcycle running.
"Speed Dice Duel ACCELERATION!" Both players in perfect timing said at the same time, surprising Duke from watching the official start.
"Alright, for the first demonstration I will start with it," Caesar said as he moved one piece of abacus showing that he already placed a speed point on his motorcycle and made pegasus do the same on his abacus, making both having officially started the game. "Go, Dice roll!"
Caesar launched 5 dices in the table board:
1 level summon crest.
1 level summon crest.
1 level summon crest.
2 level summon crest
2+ movement crest
Noticing the dissatisfaction of his own dices making a summon to quickly and not much movement crests, Caesar rethought what kind of strategy he would do.
"Alright Mr. Pegasus, I will show you what kind of archetype is my set. I dimension the dice. I dimension summon my Quillbolt Hedgehog. Position C-7."

After Caesar insert the dice over the table it created a mini hologram of what appeared to be a single hedgehog-covered screw on its back.
"As I summoned the dice monster I can add one more speed point in my motorcycle" Caesar took that moment and added another piece on his abacus. Making Maximillion Pegasus nod his head in agreement. "Since it's the start of the game. I will end my turn."
Pegasus looked at the table in awe.
"Interesting, now it seems it's my time to play. I will show you my own skills." Pegasus said as he placed one piece of his own speed point on his motorcycle, making Caesar add one as well. And with his hands shaking Pegasus decided to use the combination of dices as he had on his hands. "Go, dice roll!"

"Wow, a level 2 summon on the first try?" Duke was surprised as he looked at the results appearing over the board. "You may summon a monster of level 2, Mr. Pegasus, usually people don't have much luck on summoning the level 2 monster on the first try."
Caesar nodded his head in agreement, he was in fact surprised as he saw someone going full power on using the level 2 dice monster, he couldn't help but gesture to Mr. Pegasus to continue the game.
"Dimension the dice. I dimension summon my Looney Cartoon Gossamer the child monster. In the position Q-8" At the moment he inserted the dice over the board, a little red fur monster appeared over the board, as the creator of Duel Monsters admired of while the creature was covered into full red fur and not showing anything else than just yellow eyes, a mouth and a pair of white shoes, he couldn't but admire the design of the silly child cartoon a 20s cartoon.

"Oh, it's so fun. Now let's see… I think I will use my 2 movement crests, to make him move to the position O-8, and then finish my turn." Pegasus smiled as he elegantly made his own dice move on the new location of his dice which made him into a good position on where to start moving.
"I know. Congrats on your first summon Mr. Pegasus, now let's go to another round. Go dice roll." Caesar launched the dice with excitement as he already imagined what kind of strategy the mind reader would do. Usually, this game wouldn't only depend on strategy but luck as well.

"Nice," Caesar said as he took one of the dice. "It seems now I will start to show you some of the new features of the game. "I dimension the dice. I dimension summon my tuner monster. Junk Synchron Position C-5."
As Caesar placed the dice, the dice itself create its own position placed one square away from his first monster. Appearing of what would be a little man with glasses wearing an orange armor made with an engine place on its back. With his arms wide open.

"Wait, Junken Syncron already? Caesar, you didn't even have a destroyed dice monster yet." Duke said in worry, imagining that his brother was actually wanting to hurry the game demonstration before the meeting ends.
"I know Duke, I have a plan. Watch me." Caesar said as he looked to Pegasus, who seemed surprised by the new monster over the field.
"A tuner monster? What kind of monster is this?" Pegasus raised his eyebrow as he looked at the little smile on the man who summoned the monster in front of him.
"It's the core of one kind of summon I will do right now," Caesar said as he took from his side a white dice and placed it between his two monsters. As the dice opened themselves, both Junk Synchron and Quillbolt Hedgehog moved in synchronization, as the Junk Synchron placed his hand on his side and pulled the cord to start the engine. And shining in front of them. "I'm tuning Quillbolt Hedgehog together with my Junk Synchron."
As the effect made Pegasus gasp in surprise, looking at the little orange man became into flames and raise itself into becoming tiny 2 dots of light and from these dots, 2 tiny circles as the little Quilbolt Hedgehog was floating from the hologram and was covered from the circles transforming into an x-ray effect. And then becoming a light dot.
As he was asking himself what was happening. Pegasus looked at the boy in front of him as the man was making citations.
"Clustering stars will call upon a new force. Become the path its light shines upon!" As the light dots combined themselves inside of the same circles which expanded into a straight light. Like a flashlight. "Synchro Dice Summon. Show yourself, Junk Warrior. Position C-6"
And from the light, transformed of what would be a big indigo robot whose wear a white scarf, and has red light into his eyes, and an engine on his back and with a punch showed his own metal knuckles.

As the summon was made successful, it made Pegasus applaud in his place, as he admired the new kind of summon in front of him. Duke was smiling happily as he watched once again another successful summon graphic.
"I have to say, I'm proud to make such special effects on the board, it makes it so unrealistic and so amazing." Duke smiled as Caesar discreetly raised his thumbs up to him. under the table.
"Wonderful Caesar Boy, and you too Duke Boy. I never imagined something could have such great effects on such a display. You indeed took my attention, now what are you going to do?" Such displays earned the admiration of the potential client in front of him. And looking at the clock Caesar knew he didn't have much time.
"I have 6-speed points. This means I can use one of its effects. By paying 5-speed points, it allows me to use the empty dice from my tributed monsters to make a path for my Junk Warrior. I will place a path to G-6 and M-6." Caesar reduced from his abacus 5 points, and using the same dice he used for both Junk Synchron and Quillbolt Hedgehog, he placed the path of his own dice creating a straight line for his own Junk Warrior. "And I will use my 7 move crests to make him move to the new location J-6."
As his own monster, Junk Warrior floated at the new position over the arena making a hero pose landing.

After glancing at the results of his dice, Pegasus shrugged as he sighed slightly disappointed.
"Well, I have to admit that this wasn't what I expected," Pegasus said as he looked at his own monster who seemed ready to do something, but the player knew that he didn't have much on what to do. "Well, since I couldn't summon another monster, I will leave my turn like that."
"You don't need to be harsh on yourself Mr. Pegasus, this game doesn't just depend only on strategy," Duke assured the creator of the card game while his brother who was playing nodded his head to him.
"Exactly, you will need the luck to summon a monster every turn as well," Caesar said knowing how it sucked to not have a good monster to defend while the opponent has a boss monster in front of him. Using his own 5 yellow dices he didn't lose time, since time wasn't his ally at that moment. "I know for sure that when it comes about your boss monster, I know you will love the concept of the black dices I applied on your set. Now It's my turn. Go, Dice Roll."

"See Mr. Pegasus, sometimes you don't need to focus all the time on the summoning, holding crests to apply in the future moments is a good way to make sure that your monster will receive good support. Since I don't have many places where my Junk Warrior moves, I will hold this for a while. Turn end." Caesar smiled as he waited for the toon master to look at his own dices and nodded in satisfaction.
"You both seem to be an honest person Devlin's boys. So I will confess that this game has its perks. Now let's see if my luck is what it needs to make another summon. Go Dice roll." Pegasus launched at the board with more excitement as they both looked at the results in front of them.

"Thank you both for your vote of confidence. But now I will dimension summon my Looney Cartoon Speedy Gonzales, the fastest rat in the world. In the position Q-5" At the moment he inserted the dice over the board, a little red fur monster appeared over the board, as the creator of Duel Monsters admired of while the creature was covered into full red fur and not showing anything else than just yellow eyes, a mouth and a pair of white shoes, he couldn't but admire the design of the silly child cartoon a 20s cartoon.

After successfully making a summon, Pegasus rejoices after taking a look a the little rat who seemed so energetic as he jumped on his own sit.
"Marvelous. HAHAHAHA. I have to confess this little one is one of my favorites already." Pegasus seems to indeed appreciate a good game as he looked into deep thoughts. "Well, let's see if I got this right… I pay 4-speed points to make a token between locations I placed my dice. I summon my token on P-8. And I use my 2 movement crests to move my Speedy Gonzales to the location of Q-7."
Duke who knew exactly how the game works, took from inside of the Pegasus's set box, a card and black dice with him.
"Here Mr. Pegasus, you will enjoy the game better if you make a citation of this monster. You will just need to make this citation and then the summon will be complete." Duke must confess, he was enjoying watching both players getting excited about their own summons and getting ready for the next rounds.
"Why thank you Duke boy. Now let's see… Ohhh, I seem to understand how it is… Okay. Caesar boy, you seem to know what I'm about to do, so get ready for a lot of fun." The chuckle from him made Caesar be excited but kinda terrified after he saw a glimpse of yellow shine from his eye.
Caesar gave a dry gulp as Pegasus prepared for his summoning.
"I use 3 level 2 monsters to construct the Overlay Network!" Mr. Pegasus said as he could see the board itself created what would be a black hole, blinking in surprise, he saw the token, Speedy Gonzales and Gorsimer became light and got inside of the black hole. The effects of what would be a universe inside of a table board were amazing. The black hole was creating an entire universe itself, it was beautiful and beyond words. Smiling at the creature forming Pegasus continued.
From inside of the board, a tiny brown tornado was created from inside of the board, revealing what would be a brown animal with big fangs, as he spin his body like a tornado once again.
"Forming itself from the craziest country of the entire world, his name was nothing more than a chaotic tornado named after himself, the devil in form of an animal, devastation of the entire food of the world, spin UP and eat your diner. XYZ DICE SUMMON. Show your madness. TAZ THE TASMANIAN DEVIL" Pegasus shouted excitedly as he saw the creature revealing himself in such away. "AHAHAHAAHAHAAH. THAT'S IT. I LOVED THIS. I LOVED THIS. Such wonderful creature, and such presence."

Caesar smiled after receiving such reaction of the one who made a good game company, and receiving a good reaction, made him turn his head to Duke, who seemed to breathe in relief as he enjoyed watching the game.
But looking at the board once again, the time has come… The board game has already created a path of combat.
"Okay, the path is created… Now game… IT'S ON." Caesar narrowed his eyes, as he could see the dark gleam of the Millenium eye, as he felt that… indeed, the game has just begun.
To be continued...
