Chapter 1: Forces at Work

Sunlight… that was the first thing that hit his face. How long had he been sitting there? He had no clue… All he remembered was stopping here and sleeping. He would rub his eyes, looking in the mirror, seeing only the blond hair, gold eyes, seeing only depression, defeat… what had caused it? Even he couldn't remember, seeing the rest of himself. Metal left arm, black hoodie, not even zipped up, with a light, black t-shirt on, blank and currently, he didn't care to realy change, even with his blue jeans riddled with mud. He would breathe in. His name was Alex… and he was a warrior. A duelist. A powerful one. Not by tournament standards, by any means but, by many other wandering duelist standards, he was damned good. He picked up his deck, putting it back into his disk, picking up his bag, as well as some food before he would look in the musty old building. An abandoned schoolhouse, complete with desks, empty and somewhat broken down chairs, chalkboards all scribbled on. Alex could feel it giving him the creeps, as he shudders slightly as he leaves the building, towards his destiny, unbeknownst to him.

Deep in the Shadows, a figure watched over him, his eyes watching over Alex with a curiosity not yet satisfied as he looked at his duel disk. "...Hm. Master… should I duel him? He seems like a weakling compared to the rest of the Chosen Ones…" With some form of confirmation in his ear, he would leap down, appearing in front of Alex, his duel disk up, in the shape of the Doma duel disk… a duel disk thought to be lost to time. Alex, seeing a new figure in front of him, first backflips, heavily, gritting his teeth as he sighs.

"...Guess I'm not out of the woods yet. Something is following me. But who… and what? For what purpose?" He would ask these questions, but the figure would not answer, just activating the disk in it's unique pulling out, and sliding to the side fashion, Alex's own Duel Academy style duel disk activating, sliding out and to the left, the red light indicating the duel was set to begin.

Duel!

Alex vs Unknown Machine Duelist

Alex LP: 8000
Unknown Machine Duelist LP: 8000

"Intializing First Turn. Summoning Monster, Magician's Rod. Effect of Magician's Rod, to add to my hand, Dark Summoning Circle. Dark Summoning Circle activated… revealing the top 3… Eternal Soul is added to my hand."

Magician's Rod: Level 3, DARK Spellcaster, ATK: 1600 DEF: 100

Effect: When this card is Normal Summoned: You can add 1 Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand, that specifically lists the card "Dark Magician" in its text. During your opponent's turn, if you activate a Spell/Trap Card or effect while this card is in your GY (except during the Damage Step): You can Tribute 1 Spellcaster monster; add this card to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Magician's Rod" once per turn.

The Magician appears, a mere appearition of the Dark Magician would appear, holding the powerful rod and standing at attention, glaring at Alex harshly, as if disappointed for some odd reason. After that, the Summoning Circle of the Dark Magician would appear, floating a card into the duel bot's hand.

"Next, I shall place two cards facedown. End turn."

Robot Turn End: Hand Size: 2

Backrow: 2

Alex Turn Start: Hand Size at Start of Draw Phase, 5

"It's my turn, I draw!" Alex slides a bit to the side as he draws his card… but the duel is starting to get some onlookers, as Alex grimances. Not like this… He can't duel all out with Civilians on the line. He looks at his watch…. Which time was this? Atem/Yugi's Era? Jaden's? Yusei's? He couldn't… remember….

"Key….light…..onlook….tommorow…."

He shakes his head, grimacing again before looking at his hand. He had no idea what that was all about, nor did he want to ask. How he knew those names as well, he didn't want to know. He picks a card, sliding it onto the duel disk. "I summon… Mathematician!"

Mathematician: Level 3, EARTH Spellcaster, ATK: 1500 DEF: 500

Effect: When this card is Normal Summoned: You can send 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your Deck to the GY. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY: You can draw 1 card.

The Creature made of pure mathematics and magic would appear onto the field, chanting a few words as it begins to scan through Alex's deck, sending the selected card to the graveyard from his deck.

"Since I Normal Summoned him, i can send from my deck to my graveyard, Felis, the Lightsworn Archer!

Felis, The Lightsworn Archer: Level 4, LIGHT Beast-Warrior Tuner, ATK: 1100 DEF: 2000
Effect:

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned by a card effect. If this card is sent from your Deck to the GY by a monster effect: Special Summon it. You can Tribute this card, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy that target, then send the top 3 cards of your Deck to the GY.

Upon the card hitting the graveyard, the card immediately leaps out of the grave, it's power being shown through it's stats and it's furious growl as it stares at the duel bot, who, for all intents and purposes, has no fear. Not even a bit of emotion is being shown as Alex seems to scan his own hand.

"Next I activate a Spell Card! Twin Twisters! This discards a card from my hand, like my Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite to destroy your two facedown cards! So much for that plan!" Alex's Twin Tornados go towards the facedowns, knocking them upwards and into the air as Alex nods. "Good. That'll get rid of that annoying defense you seemed to be packing…"

The first facedown revealed was no surprise, Eternal Soul but the second one, Lost Wind… that was odd. It hadn't used it yet, even when it could have… not something to focus on too much here. He had to focus on the fight at hand. He looks at his hand, before motioning to his graveyard. "I now activate the effect of Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite! With it, i return Mathematician to my hand, and take 400 damage but Zephyros returns!"

Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite: Level 4, DARK Winged Beast ATK: 1600 DEF: 1000

Effect: If this card is in your GY: You can return 1 face-up card you control to the hand; Special Summon this card, and if you do, take 400 damage. You can only use this effect of "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" once per Duel.

As the beast with pitch black wings and claws that would pierce the night rises from his graveyard, a murmur comes over the crowd. "Blackwings? That's just like what Crow plays!" And the complete opposite… "Blackwings? The Heck are blackwings? Is this guy some kind of joker? Only very hard to summon monsters have that kind of summoning…"

This was confusing Alex even more now, as he sighed. He'd have to end this quick, as he nods. "Now… I tune these two monsters together! Arise, from the Depths of Chaos, And the champions of Duality… Synchro Summon! Level 8! Chaos Ruler, the Chaotic Magical Dragon!"

Some of the crowd cheered in approval as the mighty dragon appeared, while again the other half looked confused. "Synchro Summon? What's that? I've never heard of it! Are you sure he didn't mean Fusion or Special Summon?!"

Chaos Ruler, the Chaotic Magical Dragon: Level 8, DARK Dragon ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500

Effect: 1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters

If this card is Synchro Summoned: You can excavate the top 5 cards of your Deck, and if you do, you can add 1 excavated LIGHT or DARK monster to your hand, also send the remaining cards to the GY. You can banish 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your hand and/or GY, except this card; Special Summon this card from your GY, but banish it when it leaves the field. You can only use each effect of "Chaos Ruler, the Chaotic Magical Dragon" once per turn.

"Since it was Synchro Summoned, I can look at the top 5 cards, adding 1 LIGHT or DARK monster from the 5 to my hand… the rest get sent to my grave. I choose, Plaguespreader Zombie! And now…. Chaos Ruler, attack Magician's Rod! Chaos Burst Stream!"

As the Dragon roared and fired off it's blast, the False Dark Magician would be struck down, making the duel bot lose 1400 Life Points.

Duel Machine: 8000 LP - 6600 LP

"I set two cards facedown… and end my turn."

Alex Hand Size: 2

Duel Machine Turn: Hand Size before start of Draw Phase: 2

"Intiating turn. Draw. Activating Spell Card, Ancient Rules. Special Summoning Dark Magician."

The Ancient Magician of Dark Magic would appear, but not in Pharaoh's Majesty… no no, this was a fake… like Pandora's Dark Magician, this one was twisted and evil. The Summoning Circle would glow, causing Alex's Dragon to get banished from the field, Alex growling in annoyance as he looks up.

"Initiating Battle. Dark Magician, Dark Magic Attack…."

The Magician moves a hand, sending Alex sliding backwards in the sheer agony from the Dark Force of the magic.

Alex LP: 7600 LP - 5100 LP

Alex growls to himself, falling to a knee as he knows that the damage was real… but how? Were the Shadow Games back? Was this technology based damage? What was it? He didn't know but he stood back up, preparing to draw a card before he hears the duel bot speak.

"Is this why your squad was killed… for your lack of strength? For your lack of power? How foolish. Under master's conditions, you would've been a fine warrior… but instead… you only got people killed…"

A hush fell over the crowd as Alex's aura darkened, his eyes beginning to change from their normal blue… to a demonic red as he growls. "...Weak…. Lack of strength… Lack of Power…. Maybe i should show you just what that REALLY means!"

Theme: Magi OST - Enfin Apparu!

As Alex draws his card, there's no hesitation in his movements as he activates the card he just drew. "Monster Reborn. And i think i'll use it on the Destiny Hero - Malicious in my graveyard, which happens to be a Level 6 monster! Tough luck for you!"

Destiny Hero - Malicious: Level 6, DARK Warrior ATK/DEF: 600

Effect: You can banish this card from your GY; Special Summon 1 "Destiny HERO - Malicious" from your Deck.

"And now… I NORMAL SUMMON, PLAUGESPREADER ZOMBIE, A LEVEL 2 TUNER MONSTER!"

Plaguespreader Zombie: Level 2, DARK Zombie Tuner, ATK: 400 DEF: 200

Effect: If this card is in your GY: You can place 1 card from your hand on the top of the Deck; Special Summon this card, but banish it when it leaves the field.

"I tune these two together… Creature of Malice, Destruction and Rage, take mine! MAKE IT POWER! Synchro Summon… Level 8, BEELZE OF THE DIABOLIC DRAGONS!"

Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons: Level 8, DARK Dragon Synchro, ATK: 3000 DEF: 3000

Effect: 1 DARK Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters

Cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. If you take damage from an attack involving this card, or from an opponent's card effect: This card gains ATK equal to the damage you took.

"And if you think i'm done, you're SORELY mistaken. Activate effect. Returning a card in my hand, like my Mathematician, to the top of my deck, to revive Plaguespreader! And using Malicious in the Graveyard, i banish it to get a second one from my deck!"

*Both creatures appear and, even in this moment, the Dark Magician and the Robot show fear as Alex growls

"And now… I TUNE THEM AGAIN! Arise, from the rust of Scrap Metal, merge into the ultimate beast that conquers all! Arise, Level 8, Scrap Dragon!"

Scrap Dragon: Level 8, EARTH Dragon Synchro, ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000

Effect: 1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters

Once per turn: You can target 1 card you control and 1 card your opponent controls; destroy them. When this card in your possession is destroyed by your opponent's card and sent to your GY: Target 1 non-Synchro "Scrap" monster in your GY; Special Summon that target.

"And now.. His effect. I target my Beelze and your Dark Magician… and both are destroyed!"

An explosion erupts on the field, the Dark Magician would be gone… but Beelze wouldn't be, standing in the righteous glory of it's owner. "Thanks to Beelze, he can't be destroyed by battle or by card effects. Now then, hit him for 5800 Damage, my monsters… SHOW HIM REAL POWER!"

As the Machine bot took the damage, even though it had more life points then the damage output, it was still destroyed, the duel ending in Alex's win as he begins to walk off, his eyes still glowing red from rage as the man watching from the duel bot's perspective only… chuckles, darkly, as he crosses his arms. "...Well well… I guess you are one of the chosen ones…. Time to keep an eye on you, Alexander…."

When Alex managed to return to his senses, he was on some docks, groaning as he rubs his head, standing up before beginning to run again, someone with spikey hair…. A prison marker on their face and a bird designed duel runner would be watching. "...A blackwing card…. How… interesting. Let's see how the birds that flock together matches up to this kid…"

To Be Continued in…
