"HA, YOU FELL IN MY TRAP! I CALL BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON!" Darcy announces to Kyle. Kyle sits with his 5 cards in his hand and smiles with his eyes in pittey.

"Darcy how many times must I tell you, soften up your opponent first before calling out your Blue Eyes. Now this time I will let it go, but next time I will be sure to Dragon Capture Jar old Blue Eyes. Now in retaliation I call out my Red Eyes Black Dragon combined with the Beast Fangs and the Suit of Armor Card to make Red Eyes Metal Dragon. Making his attack power 3500 and defense 2800. Now Red Eyes attack with Metal Fire Stream!" Kyle commands. The hologram of the Black Dragon equipped with shining armor flies up and fires a dark fire at the white dragon. The flames quickly clear to see Blue Eyes holding on for survival.

"MY BLUE EYES!" Darcy screams. Her life points diminish from 5500 o 3700. Darcy frumps and picks up another card. She grins odd at Kyle and slaps a card down on the field. "Feast your eyes on my Dark Hole!"

"Fine be that way", Kyle mumbles. "I hope you don't try anything like that at the tournament tonight, we have worked too long to lose all because you're a little dragon happy". A Dark Ball appears and sucks every Kyle's Red Eyes inside it and it disappears. "I can only thank you for getting rid of 3 of my monsters so I can show you this mighty combo. I combine my Axe Raider, with my Battle Steer to make the Battle Ox. Now I combine the Mystic Horseman to form the Rabid Horseman. The monster Kyle called out has a Ox's torso, but with a horses 4 legs, who wields a mighty Axe. Meanwhile Kevin and Richard are sitting on a big brown couch watching T.V. The couch is a soft suede that is very expensive. They all are at Darcy's house, whose parents are loaded. Her dad, famous Archeologist Bill Allanis specializes in Egyptian Legends. That's why along the walls of the house are countless talismans and masks. Her dad is expecting a package today that could win him the noble prize. Darcy could rather care less about her dad's ventures.

"Darcy why are you so lucky?" Richard asks. "I mean why cant my parents get loaded?"

"That's case your dad is not a crazy workaholic, with bad breath and cares about you," Darcy replies.

"This coming from the girl with a walk-in refrigerator," Kyle enquires.

"Yeah and your still jealous cause I caught you trying to sleep in it," Darcy snaps. Kyle smirks and looks at his hand. Suddenly a loud bang comes to the door, followed by several more, then the bang becomes constant. "Okay I'm coming!" Darcy yells. Darcy goes to the door and opens it. In front of her is a shady fellow with a giant wooden crate in his arms. He has dark eyes that's all that Darcy notices. He sets the box down and bows to her. She looks down at the crate, "Okay where do I sign?" She looks back up and sees he is gone. Not a trace!! Her dad comes down the stairs and picks up the box and takes it into the den. Kyle stands up fro the table and helps Darcy's dad with the crate to the floor.

"Oh I am so exited!! I got to pry it open now." He looks around the room and picks up a screw driver from the fire place mantle. He sticks the head inside the crate opening and cranks it off. He franticly tares off the top and looks inside, it and it is filled with Styrofoam. He was about to shove his hand in when his belt starts to beep. He sighs and looks at his pager. "Crap!!!! I got to go." He turns around, grabs his coat and slams the door shut.

"God I hate him," Darcy sighs.

"What do you thinks in there?" Kevin asks. "A mummy?"

"Don't be so naive Kevin," Kyle says as he sticks he hand in the foam. "It probably just a..." Kyle's eyes went blank. There was a quite snap from inside the box he pulls his arm out and sees on his left hand is a golden gauntlet. It is rather light yet pure gold. It has a 3in diamond in the middle of the hand plate and up arm plate are 3 Ruby's. He cant hardly breath. "What is this?" he quietly whispers.

Richard looks amazed. "Wicked!" he words. Suddenly a gold circle speeds toward Richards finger and plants itself on his ring finger. It to is pure gold, with hieroglyphics on the inside and outside. And out of the box, a flute hovers up out of, and flies over to Darcy. She grabs the flute, and examines it. To see Sapphires surrounding key-holes. It to is gold. And on the bottom of it is an ancient language. Kevin is in practical shock when a beam on light goes around his neck and turns into an amulet. The gem is rather large in the shape of a raindrop. It is dark around to outside of it with green on the inside of it. On the sides of the large amulet are 2 emeralds. The 4 of them are standing in awe, and their knees are turning to jelly.

Kyle hears footsteps! They must be Darcy's mom's feet. Kyle starts to struggle to get his arm out of the gauntlet. Darcy's mom Mora walks in the room, not even looking she opens up the front door and steps out to get the mail out of the mailbox just outside the door. She steps back in and closes the door. In her hand are an a lot of envelopes including and large brown envelope with what looks like a tape in it. Kyle puts his arm behind his back, while Darcy hides the flute in her shirt pocket. Mora looks up at the 4 in an instant the gauntlet on Kyle's hand transforms into a light brown glove, with gold fabric around the wrist. The Amulet around Kevin's neck flash's and disappears yet he still feels the gold chain around his neck.

"Kids are you ready?" Mora asks.

"Ready for what Mrs. Allanis?" Kyle counter asks.

"Well you all have been here for a whole night waiting for this." Mora says. All of them stare at her in wonder what she is talking about. "The tournament!! Remember you got expected in it 3 months ago for winning at the preliminary match in Illinois. Now your going for the universal pass to Duelist Kingdom if you win against your opponent and then you fight along side each other against the winning team." Darcy's mom is always the one who took an active interest in Darcy's hobby. They all look each other in stupidity and wonder why they forgot about this. " I am going to give you a ride to the stadium right?"

"Thanks Mrs. Allanis," Kyle thanks.

Darcy's mom drives them to the stadium and drops them off at the duelist door. They exit the car in anxiety. "I will be rooting for you!" Mora smiles.

Darcy's waves goodbye and leads her friends to the opponent board.

"Oh god!" Kyle gulps. "My opponent is the regional champion. Bandit Keith".

"I'm facing Bone McRib, the zombie master! NO WAY!" Richard shouts.

"I am going up against that ninny Mai Valentine!" Darcy declares.

"Well that leaves me with Bakura! But he hardly ever loses!" Kevin moans.

All of them stay in awe in front of the board. They are all scared out of there minds. But little do they know that they have an advantage to be reckoned with.
