Chapter 2: Shards of an old future
"So, who's going first, jackass!?!" exclaimed Brock as he held his disk out. "I'll go, and we're betting money" replied Amu Ra. In his first hand, he draws Change of Heart, La Jinn, Dian Keto, Jar of Greed, Waboku, and the Blue Eyes White Dragon. "I'll set 1 magic or trap card" yells Amu. Soon a holographic face down card appears on the ground. "Then, I'll play Blue Eyes White Dragon in attack mode!" The blue and white dragon appears on the field. When it does though, it's destroyed!
"Huh!?!"
"Heh, do you even know the rules?"
"Oh shit! I forgot! You have to use tributes!"
"Too late, it's my turn!"
Brock draws his six cards.
"I play Harpie's Brother in attack mode! I declare an attack on your life points with Harpie's Brother!"
"Wait a minute! Display card in magic and trap slot one!"
The holographic set card flips to reveal Waboku. Harpie's Brother's attack is negated. "Fine! I end my turn" exclaimed Brock. Amu draws another card, Summoned Skull. "I play Jar of Greed" yelled Amu. His next two cards are La Jinn and Ultimate Offering. "I set one magic or trap card and play La Jinn in attack mode! I then, end my turn by playing Dian Keto the cure master (9000/8000)!"
"Good, it's my turn now!"
Brock draws one card from his deck. "I set one monster card, and end my turn!" Amu draws one card from his deck, Soul Exchange. "I play Change of Heart on your set monster card, and flip it" The face down card was Penguin Solider. It sends Harpie's Brother to Brock's hand. "I'll offer Penguin Solider as a tribute, to summon Summoned Skull in attack mode! Both La Jinn and Summoned Skull will attack your life points directly!" With that command, a huge blast leaves Amu's side of the field, and hits Brock. The assault throws Brock back over two feet. With a chuckle, Amu says, "Pay back for what you did earlier, Brock (9000/3700)!"
Brock draws another card from his deck. "I play Tribute to the doomed, offering Dark Magician as the tribute to destroy Summoned Skull!" Soon white burial wraps leap from the ground, ties Summoned Skull, and drag him underneath. "Now I play Raise Dead on my Dark Magician, and summon my Harpie's Brother! The Dark Magician will attack your sole La Jinn!" La Jinn is wiped out by the blast and Amu takes some damage. "I'll attack you with my re-summoned Harpie's Brother also!" The blast drops Amu to the ground and shocks the crowd (6500/3700). Its Amu's turn now, and he draws Rush Recklessly. "I summon La Jinn and play Rush Recklessly to increase its attack too two-thousand five hundred! Now I attack your Harpie's Brother!" A blast comes out of the powered La Jinn and incinerates Harpie's Brother (6500/3000). Now La Jinn's attack returns one-thousand eight hundred, leaving it at the mercy of the Dark Magician.
Brock draws another card out of his deck. "Dark Magician will attack your La Jinn!" The Dark Magician lets a black beam out of its orb and destroys La Jinn (5800/3000). Brock ends his turn and Amu's begins.
Amu draws, and gets the Raise Dead magic card. "I play Raise Dead on my Blue Eyes White Dragon!" The Blue Eyes flies from the ground surrounded by beams of light. "Blue Eyes, attack the Dark Magician!" The Blue Eyes White Dragon blasts away the Dark Magician (5800/2500). Brock has no monster card in his deck powerful enough to destroy the Blue Eyes White Dragon.
Now, its Brock's turn. As the crowd stares in awe, Brock quietly sets one monster. Amu draws and summons La Jinn. "La Jinn attack his face down card!" La Jinn destroys Brock's Black Forest Witch. "Blue Eyes, attack his life points directly, and end the game!" Blue Eyes lets out a huge blast that hits Brock and drops him to the ground (5800/0000).
Brock picks himself up and looks forward into Amu's face that says, "Give me the money you bet!" Brock dips into his pocket, and throws many dollar bills and change into Amu's face, which is protected by his arm. "Heh, your just lucky I was in a rush, or I would have kicked your ass," said Brock as he ran off towards Route 30. After the shock, Amu remembers the distress cal from Johzun and the unusual card in his pocket. Without taking off his duel disk, Amu races off for New Bark Town.
When Amu opens the door to the shop, he sees a complete mess on the floor. One of the many shelves, have been overturned. Shards of glass lay in front of the smashed window, to the left of the shop. The police stand at the register, interrogating a shocked and impatient Johzun.
"No, I don't remember what he looks like! Oh Amu! Thank God you're here! A mental kid with red hair broke in about 30 minutes ago, and ran off with the money in the register, a starter deck, and a duel disk!"
"Red hair!?! Starter deck!?! I dueled that kid, just now!"
With a smirk on his face, Amu added "And beat him!"
The officer then turned to Amu. With an anxious look on his face, he asks, "Oh, do you know his name?"
"Yea, he said his name was, Brock Gray!"
"Ok, I'll investigate the area and release a warrant for his arrest. Mr. Com, I suggest you close shop for the day!"
"Ok, officer I will."
Just then, Amu remembered the weird card in his pocket. He took it out of his pocket, and held it out to Johzun. "Here, this is the item Mr. Bru gave me!" Johzun took the card, an observed it carefully with a puzzled look. "Hmm... I will take it home!" Johzun puts the card in his pocket and walks about the damaged shop. As Amu walks out, one of the store helpers stops him. "Here, take these booster packs. They were opened by the thief, so we can't sell them. Take them and use them to improve your deck." The helper hands Amu six, Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon booster packs.
Out of all the cards in the packs, the only good ones he found were the Blue Eyes White Dragon, Ragiki, and Swords of Revealing Light. Now when Amu gets home, all he has to do is persuade his mother to let him go on a hunt for a criminal the country, how fun!
"Amu, I wish you good luck" said his mother. With a puzzled look Amu thinks, that was rather simple. "Amu, you can always keep money with me if you want." Amu still confused starts to ponder the possibility that she wants him out of the house. "Now, just keep clean. There are hotels throughout the cities. So you can always stay and call me on the cell."
Later that day, Amu left New Bark town and passed through Cherrygrove. Now on Route 30, Amu makes his way to Blackjack City. First, he has to pass the duelists on Route 30 and 31.
"So, who's going first, jackass!?!" exclaimed Brock as he held his disk out. "I'll go, and we're betting money" replied Amu Ra.
