"a year ago"

The day was soon coming to an end. In the background you can see the moon setting on the horizon. Children that were playing either at the park or the local arcade center are leaving, the loud and busy streets on the city. The night was peaceful it would seen that nothing was amiss, but on this night however that would soon change.

We take a look as on this night, we can see on what is an almost empty street a mother and child are crossing the street. "Come along dear we need to get home soon. Mommy is very tired and I also need to dinner for us. She said as she held the hand that belong to her daughter. The energetic and happy child responded " O.K. mommy what are we going to eat tonight I'm starving." The young mother responded with a smile. "Your favorite chicken curry and rice or plum rice your choice." "Plum rice mommy," she responded enthusicasically as she fell down on the ground in the middle of the street. "Oh dear are you all right" asked the worried mother. "Yes mommy it's just my shoe got untied," as she lifted herself from the ground to start to tie her she again. "Hurry up again this is the middle of the street after all. A car could come by anytime, and people can be so rude sometimes and yell out rude remarks."

3 A large hum coming from a car can be heard.

The came close to the two at a rapped speed. The car turn out to a black van.

As the driver took the turn leaving from where it came from. The driver quickly applied the brakes to stop to avoid the mother and child.

The two turn and looked in horror as the upcoming van roar forward towards them. They didn't even have time to scream as the van inched its way towards them. A shadowy figure came out of nowhere, and quickly lifted the two up and hauled them across the street. With that the van didn't even stop but instead speed up and left leaving the three people there.

"Man talk about being in a hurry. Are you two all right," asked the figure. with a loud cry coming from the younger child the responded "yes I think there is nothing broken or anything are you all right pumpkin?" "whaa .. y.yes I think so mommy thank you mister," replied the child. "I can't thank you enough for everything. We could have been seriously hurt, but are you all right," asked in a worried tone.

"Hahah, yeah I think just a little ding on the arm nothing serious," with that he showed he arm. Reveling a torn silk purple Chinese style shirt, and a huge scrape across his bicep. "Oh no please come home with us so I can treat it you could get and infection. Also so I could came your family. they must be worried sick about you," the mother stated to the figure. With that the three got up from the ground, and dusted them off .

Once done the mother looked at the there savior, and studied the young man in front of her. As she look she could see that he was handsome, and judging by his youthful appearance he had to be still in high school. Also the most disquinsed feature was the shoulder length braided pigtail. Another thing that she noticed was he had a large backpack and a suitcase tied down on the backpack.

"Boom"

With an earth shaking push once again the three were on the ground. As the three staggered to get up again from the ground. They looked up at the three they saw smoke coming from a warehouse. With that that there savior started to get ready to move to see if anybody needed help out. The mother stopped the young man "Wait you could get hurt even more!" "Don't worry just call the fire department and quickly," he replied to the mother. "Wait at least tell me your name just in case so I can inform your next of kin," replied the mother in a hurried tone. Saying in a hope it would stop that the young man in front of her. With a smirk releasing what she was trying to do. He responded "It's Ranma Maski," as he released her grip and left.

"Hey will you please make your move or are you giving up," replied Weevil from his station, towards his opponent who had his eyes closed the whole time while he made his first move. As Weevil started to get mad because he was waiting for what seemed like an eternity for his opponent to make. Until finally a movement was made. Everyone watched including Weevil as slowly his hand rosed from his side upward from his side. Slowly it inched its way upward to the cards in his hand which he had drew from his deck, instead it went to his mouth and with that a loud yawn was heard "Sorry I guess I'm more tired then I thought," said Ranma while scratching the back of his head.

With that he received a facefault from everyone. Even Weevil facefaulted from his stations position. "Geez I didn't think it was that bad. I wonder if everyone watching this did that too," thought ranma to himself.

"the gangs' little party at Yugis' house and everywhere else for that madder"

(facefault)

"I thought he was thinking hard what card to choose, but man this is ridiculous," said Joey. "You were no better during the training I gave you I had to keep waking you up." Stated Yugis' grandpa to the short haired blonde (anyway lets not get into this battle and get back to the arena shall we :) )

"O.K., Sorry to make you wait I shall begin by placing this card in defense mode facedown, and I shall lay this card facedown as well. Thus ending my turn." Ranma stated to the eager bug expert. "Finally you decide to graise up with your turn Ranma, but you should have just given up instead, and with that error I will show how useless your cards are, and I will be the one to break your winning streak." Weevil braked out to the pigtail duelist.

"Come on and make your move Weevil, or this how your going to win by boring my into defeat by speeches," replied Ranma with a smirk on his face. Which grew even wider as he saw Weevils' face grow red with anger on his face. Weevil countered Ranmas' comment by saying "your one to talk Ranma, but I will wiped the smirk off your face with this magic card." With that Weevil laid (the lazer cannon magic card.)

"Hah hah with this card it will increase the power of my insect needle raising its power (1800/1300). Now attack insect needle show this cocky upstart what you can do." Weevil commanded his now powered up insect

As commanded the giant wasp too flight and descend down towards the facedown card. As the close it got the cannon began charging up and let out a huge blast to the card.

With that the card began to active and a huge wall with a face came out, and separated the playing field destroying the bug in the process.

[Weevil] 2000- [Ranma]2000-

"Your giant wasp is strong but not as strong as my Illusion wall defense with (800/1850). Your wasp in gone and along with your vision of my side of the field," replied Ranma as he drew another card from his deck to his hand. The same applies to you Ranma you can't see my side ether. So we are on even ground Ranma," laughed the short scientist at the pigtail opponent.

[Weevil] 2000-1950 [Ranma]2000-2000

"That may be true but I have allot trick t show you. So I will place this card in attack mode and that will end my turn." Ranma stated to his opponent.

"That's fine by me Ranma I shall summon the mighty Hercules beetle!" with that Weevil tossed down another card which became an armored beetle with sickle-shaped mandibles and spike shoulder pads and metal-like add-on claws.(1950/1550) He also threw down a card face down. He smiled as he knew that his monster would also receive protection on his side of his field with that wall in play.

"I think I will end my turn for now," stated Weevil with a sinister chuckle. "Very well that is fine by me," said Ranma while he drew another card into his hand. "Now shall play this magic card called (monster switch) replace my illusion wall with this card."

"So I summon the roguish trickster priest Xelloss!" with that Ranma flipped up one of his upside down card to reveal a white book.

"Hah you don't know your cards very well cause, even I can clearly see that that monster is a dark monster so your monster isn't even helped by it. Now attack my beetle," commanded Weevil, as ordered the beetle began a steed run toward the activating card.

once the card was done activating it revealed a purple haired priest, with a staff, but the most disturbing thing was the monster had its' eyes closed. Just like it's owner had just a few minutes ago, but something told Weevil that it was not sleeping.

As the beetle came closer to the priest, its' eyes open, and with its staff it stabbed the beetle swung it across back to Weevils side of the feild. "Ahh my beetle huh what!!" As he look at his panel it showed that the monster priest had (????/????), and its' star level was one.

[Weevil] 1950-1400 [Ranma]2000-2000

"What is the meaning of this this is against the rules," yelled the now furious scientist. As he look across the field he saw Ranma waging slowly side to side to say no But was even more funny was the priest was as well as if it had its own conscience. "What do you mean it's not!" Weevil asked still yelling at the now finger waging duo.

"You see Weevil that card is just that a trick card and it lives up to his name the trickster priest cause you see the only way you can see his attack and defense power let alone star level is to place a monster either equal or a much more powerful monster." Ranma saying this while inserting his now drawn card into his hand and getting ready to place another card down, he began to speak "Also that book is called the Claire bible and it un like the book of secret arts in a book on black or as you put it dark magic," informing Weevil of his error.

"I think I should end this duel don't you Weevil I mean it must be embarrassing to lose two monsters and I have not even commanded an attack to you yet. So I think I will, and the monster I summon my final monster I summon is one of four monster that are the high rating level and attack power in my deck."

"I summon the monster who is the darkness beyond twilight..." Ranma with his eyes closed laid the card down face up in attack position "Who is crimson beyond blood that flows..." Weevil could only stare in horror as the card activated "Buried in the flow of time, is where your power grows for all time..." opening his eyes and the pigtailed boy finished "I summon the Demon Lord Rudy Eyed Shabrinigdo," with a large rumble and roar came out the giant monster appeared. "Here weevil this duel ends you see Shabrinigdo power is (3300/2950) well over a the Blue Eye White Dragon and it's over attack Shabrinigdo full power!" As ordered the ferocious monster started to charge up energy in its' mouth and fired a huge red beam. Thus bring the end of the duel.

[Weevil] 1400-0000 [Ranma]2000-2000

(screams)

With that the crowd rose to the end of the duel in screams and alot of clapping and yelling. While the EMC entered "Well there you have after an over powering win over the infamous Weevil Underwood, Ranma came on top and won the first duel lets' hear a round of applause for both of these fine duelist.

(Pegasus' reserved box room )

"Interesting I thought I had ordered the destruction of those cards in that warehouse." thought to himself while sipping the wine in his glass. "I could use this to my advantage." Placing down his glass to pick up the special reserved phone for the VIPs' to use in the box room. "Hyuga, Yes order another package to be sent to Ranma Masaki to his home..." listen to the replied he was given "Hmm then sent it to his school then and no don't put the tape in there..." reply from the other end of the phone "Why you asked well I will tell this time I just have a feeling his going to win this tournament. "As he said this he watch and the duel began with a hand shack between Rex and Ranma. "Yes it's just a good feeling," with a smirk on his face and a sparkle from his eye he began to laugh as waited for the next duel to begin

"arena( while Peg. was on the phone)"

"Well I saw it and I still don't believe it," replied Rex while shacking his newly made friends hand. "Well they say seeing is believing," said Ranma while laughing. "Well let the better duelist win," said Rex while began to enter his station. " Yeah let the better duelist win. Oh by the way don't worry I won't fall asleep this time," stated Ranma embarrassed with a red tint to his cheeks. "Hah that good to know Ranma." Replied Rex as he continued to laugh soon everyone laughed including Ranma and even Pegasus.
