Disclaimer and notes: I do not own Yugioh or any Duel Monsters material. I do own my own created characters and will be used only by myself. I, also, do not own any national companies that I use in my story including 94.5 the Buzz KTBZ. One note before you begin, the deck that is used by Mattervick is my actual own deck that I use in real life (with a few exceptions of course, just to make it interesting ;-)). Throughout the story, I may change the format of my story from 3rd person form to a dialouge form (like in a play script). Please enjoy and do not flame me too much =^_^= R&R and please no flames. .

"GOOD MORNING! from 94.5 The Buzz!! KTBZ, your only music alternative channel!" was once again the first thing he heard in the morning. "I really need to get an alarm clock." he thought to himself, awakeing to the morning of school. It was later in the week, Friday to be exact. The whole week seemed to drag on for Mattervick as endless piles of homework and studying were set in front of him each and every day. He once again reached into his closet blindly to pull out a random shirt. He had pulled out a plain white t-shirt and some black basketball shorts that he usually wore to sleep in. He wanted to be comfortable today because it happened to be Friday, one more day until the weekend.

Mattervick began down the stairs, his feet hitting each step harder than the other, lazily coming towards the kitchen, sounding like a heard of buffalo. He looked towards his usual spot where breakfast was and noticed that his mother had made him bacon and eggs. He looked towards his mom who was in the back doing the laundry. "We don't have anymore Fruity Pepples?". "I'm sorry Tiger. We ran out of your cereal yesterday after you had that sudden rush of appitite before you went to bed last night.". He somewhat chuckled to himself whenever his mother called him by her little pet name for him. "Tiger" just did not seem to fit him, but for some reason, she continued to call him that. He sat down in his chair and looked at his plate. "I knew I had a rush of appitite but I did not think that I ate THAT much." he told his mother.

"So you haven't heard anything else about the competition?" Carrie asked him as they were walking from his car. "No, not a single thing." he said to her, seeming to be staring blankly into space. Carrie smiled to herself and asked him, "So, did you like the gift I gave you?". He looked back at her with a big grin and a bit of a chuckle. "Of course! It's gonna help me a lot when I get to the competition.....whenever it is." He stopped suddenly and watched her walk a little ways up before she stopped as well. He got close to her and gave her a big hug. She hugged him back with a smile on her face, asking "Well what is this for?". "This is a thank you for the cards that you gave me. I really do appriciate it and it could seal my victories at the competition. Your a true friend." he said as he was looking at her with an appriciative smile on his face. She blushed slightly, her face turning red all over. They began walking again, not saying another word except "Good-bye" for when they went their separate ways to their classes.

He parked his Black Chevy Blazer in the driveway, just coming back from his day at school. His day was better than he expected. He had gotten a 95 on a major project he had done for Biology and had finished early so he wouldn't be working into hours in the night. He got his keys out early so he was ready to insert the key into the door. He did so to open the door and the next second, found himself face down on the tile floor in his house. He looked back at what tripped him with a red mark on his face. He got up to notice that he had tripped over a package. *What a place to put a package. Right in front of the door for me to trip on.* he thought to himself, chuckling at his own stupidity. He picked up the package to see that it was addressed to him. He did not get many packages so he was a bit suspicious about it.

He slammed his door open into his messy room and tossed the small package onto the bed. He got his trusty Swiss-Army knife out from out of his drawer. He sat down on his bed and began to open his package. Being fustrated with the fact that his knife could not even cut through butter, he threw it on the other side of the room and began to rip it open himself. Inside of it was a ring, a card, and formal letter, and a t-shirt. He analyzed the ring, looking at the markings on the side, showing the DMDU emblem on each side with a dark blue jewel shining in the light of his room. He noticed that a little red light was blinking rapidly from inside of the jewel. Not thinking about it at the time, he put it on and smiled to himself, thinking that it looked pretty sharp on him. He took out the letter and began reading it to himself.

Mattervick looked at the letter with excitment in his eyes, being invited to his first ever tournament. He immediatly dropped the letter on his bed and looked down at his ring. He pressed in the dark blue jewel and it began to light up with a almost silent beeping. Dark blue light covered his arm and a weird feeling came over his arm. The blue light did not seem to go away from his arm. He was getting a bit worried until a small bar came up with a percent number on it. "Please wait, calibrating duel disk." said the blue light as the percent bar went quickly to 100%. The blue light seemed to get bigger and bigger over his arm until it began to fade away slightly. His arm felt comfortable now in the contraption. When the blue light disappeared, a duel disk was formed over his hand, but it was different. It was lighted up in blue but only outlining each part of the duel disk, allowing it be hollow and see-through. A small box appeared near a slot that said "Please insert cards here.". Mattervick did as the small box told him to do. His cards went into the device and seemed to disappear. Another small box came up with a percent bar. It said "Downloading Deck" on it, with the bar quickly going again to 100%.

Mattervick could bairly contain himself. This dueling disk looked so different but it looked so familiar to him. It looked like the one his hero once wore. A man by the name of Yugi Motou. Mattervick remembers when he was 7, he saw Yugi legendary duel against the great Seto Kaiba. It was a match that he could never, ever forget. After that duel, he was obsessed with the game and practiced his dueling skills with his own custom made deck. 10 years later, he has mastered his deck in every way possible and was ready for any challenge that was put up in front of him.

Mattervick looked at his dueling disk and pressed the jewel into his ring again, shutting it down and turning it off. His cards were now stored inside the ring and ready to go for next week. He laid back and looked at the ceiling, just looking and thinking to himself. *How am I going to contain myself until this Friday?*.
