Yugioh Duels for the millennium items, Episode 2: The Unknown duelist.


Thomas and Lex had just arrived at the school when they were approached by a lady freshman about 5"4 with her brown hair tied up into a pony tail and wearing a skirt.

"Have you guys heard a new dueler has come to this school, she beat Vargill along with attaining his Barrel Dragon," Her voice becoming a yell as she reached the end ofhersentence.

The two friends exchanged curious glances then turn back to the girl. While Thomas was in deep thought about this duelist Lex passed it off a sheer luck.

"Thanks Kalla, Now I have someone else I can defeat, Vargill was getting way to easy,"

"That's Lex for you, determines outcomes before any information has been received he made the same mistake with me when we first met, had no idea that I was the 4th ranking duelist in the world."

"Now who's bragging?" Lex interrupted.

"Would you too shut up for a moment about your stupid rankings and let me talk!" Kella shouted

This received some glances from near by students, although quickly dismissed. The students quickly grew accustom to the duels and had long ago lost any hopes of beating these legendary duelist.

"Hey 5th place out of millions is something I'm entitled to brag about! I won many tournaments, including the Rose tournament, Not to mention placing 2nd in the Pharaoh tournament!"

Kella was clearly annoyed with Lex once again listing his accomplishments, she soon stormed off. The friends thought of pursuing but quickly relinquished the thought, knowing it to be good to be out of that one path when she's mad. They heard more rumors as time passed. They decided to look for this duelist, right when they were about to ask someone to get a better description of this duelist the bell rang. The friends parted and went to their separate classes. Thomas was in a deep thought as he walked of towards the English rooms. Lex foolishly walked to his next class without a second thought about the duelist.

Lex facial expression quickly changed from cheerful to horrified as he walked into his Math class to find Vargill in his seat weeping. Lex took his seat next to him in the back of the class. Many chairs crowded the classroom, the walls a bare white except for a poster covering the clocking saying Time for Math. This was due to the teachers philosophy that posters would distract the students. Lex look over to his friend, obviously their was more to this than he knew.

"Barrel Dragon…gone," he would say methodically

The expression on his face showed a deep fear. With the ring of the bell Lex decided to wait for the end of the class to try to comfort Vargill. The gray bearded teacher began his lecture, the students often look at how the light shined of his bald head as a way to fight the overwhelming boredom. By the time the bell rang half of the students had found some way to sleep without being caught, however the unlucky few who wasn't awoken by the bell were woken with a detention. Lex still looked over to the sobbing Vargill.

"Don't worry I'll get your barrel Dragon back, Just cheer up," Lex said trying to get that expression of Vargill out of his head.

"N..o don't…" he stuttered.

"Would people stop doubting my abilities! I'm one of the top ten duelist in the world! I can get you your card back,"

Before Vargill had a chance to reply Lex was gone, the rest of the day past quickly, soon the students were released. Lex searched out the duelist he had been asking about though out the school day. After a brief search he came face to face with her. She wore a long dress somewhat resembling a robe. Her brown hair reaching to her lower back. The two looked eye level at each other for a moment.

"I've been expecting you, I know you've come to obtain this," She held up the Barrel Dragon.

Lex began to say something but was silence as the female put her finger on his lip. He looked around to make sure that no one was watching him obeying to a command. He was contempt when all the saw was the black gravel and a few runners on the grass, to far to get a clear image of the transactions.

"I will grant this favor as long as you grant mine, I wish for you and your friend Thomas to come to the millennium tournament, you will be given the Barrel Dragon and a explanation of why then, This is s secluded tournament so tell no one besides Thomas of this,"

She then took out a piece of paper and wrote the address down. Confused Lex stood their for a few minutes after she had left.

******

"So she wants us to show up at this tournament?" Thomas asked as they were walking toward Lexs house after school.

"Yeah I can't figure out why though, that look Vargill had gave me shivers, hey says here that it's being held on Saturday, hey isn't that tomorrow?"

Thomas took a look at it, his finger then pointed to a abandoned building across the street. "Yeah, and according to this it's going to be held over there; something doesn't seem right,"

The walked on for a bit longer each think of the possible events of the next day. Their main concern is why there would be a secret tournament in an abandoned building. Thomas ended up not going to Lexs house for a rematch, they both agree that time would be better spent fine tuning their decks.

The next day approached, Thomas and Lex meet in front of the building, No cars came by the street. The street wasn't known many cars but none seemed very odd. They entered the building, as they came in their sight was engulfed by darkness. After a moment of their eyes adjusting they caught a slight light up ahead in the room, they began to walk towards it.

"This is freaky Lex, you know this could be a prank of the girl,"

"Wimp"


That was all Thomas needed to hear, he advance rather quickly towards the light. As they came close they saw this source was actually a glowing human, at least in looks. After a few moments of astonishment the gaze drifted to beside her where the female duelist that lured them to this place stood.

"There is no need to be afraid," Came a voice that appeared only in the minds of the people in the room

The two friends strangely began to relax, as if the words has magic behind them enabling them to accept such strange occurrences.

" I have summon you here because you are the only ones that can save the world, Long ago the existed the millennium items: the millennium eye, the millennium staff, the millennium scale, the millennium necklace, and the millennium puzzle. These were powerful devices, a great pharaoh name long ago used the power of the combined items to close the path to the shadow realm, thus saving the world. However he also locked the millennium items in this world, hoping to them to be seal away forever, thus the shadow realm would never be able to connect with this world. However inside the shadow realm a unknown fore existed, after a millennium he was finally strong enough to push the items back out towards this world, their evil sprits corrupting the unfortunate souls that obtain them, The top 3 duelist each posses one of these items. That is why I have brought you, one of you will be granted this,"

The millennium puzzle suddenly appeared floating in the air. The boys tried to look at each other for answers but could not even see past their own nose.

" I will explain more later, first you must be tested, Lex you will now duel against a mystic guardian, Celsial!"

Within a second Lex was standing on one side of a high tech dueling field, on the opposing side stood Celsial the girl who lured them here. Each platform showed the current life points of the duelist, 8000/8000.

"Now the duel will begin, the fate of this world is a stake!"
