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 =^_^= R&R and please no flames. .

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING!!! From 94.5 The Buzz KTBZ!!!". Mattervick woke up that morning with excitement in his eyes. He still groaned to himself slightly, still weary and annoyed by his radio alarm clock. *Why haven't I changed that thing yet?* he thought to himself and he got up to get dressed for school. He had a bit more a jump to his step because today was THE day. It was Friday, the day he would be picked up from the last day of school to participate in his tournament. He did not bother to bring his backpack that day because he would not need it for the last day. He brought his black luggage bag with his clothes, bath stuff, decorations for his room (thinking that he is going to be in that hotel room for a while), his cell phone, food for the trip there and back and all of the money he had saved up.
"Good morning, Mom.". He said with a happy cheer on his face, unusual for his mood in the morning. "Good Morning Tiger." she said with a smile on her face. She had his usual and favorite breakfast out on the table that day, the infamous bowl of Fruity Pebbles. He grinned with excitment and nearly inhails his bowl. Immediatly when he is done, he begins running out the door and into his car. Before he could drive his car off, he found his mother banging on the hood of the car. Quite puzzled, he rolled the window down to see what his mom was doing. "One: You don't have to bring your luggage with you to school, because the bus will be here to pick you up after you get home.....and Two: How are you going to win this competition thingy without your cards?", she laughed some as Mattervick's face turned slightly red in the cheeks. He just shruged soon after and replied,"Oh, I think I could have managed.". He smirked as he changed gears and began to reverse.
"Hmmm.....I wonder what this is." he said to himself, finding a small note sticking out of his locker. He opens it and begins reading it to himself. The note had many stars drawn on it with a different assortment of decorations and his name printed in different colors of pen ink.
Dear Mattervick,
I just wanted to wish you good luck in your tournament. I know you will do well because you have the courage, skill, and luck to reach your goal. Remember, you have the power to achieve any goal you have in life. Just be yourself and you will do great. I will be rooting for you in my prayers and in my heart.
Love, Carrie
Mattervick began to smile, turning a bit red in the cheeks from the sweetness of the letter. He was a bit perplexed though, by Carrie using "Love" in the final part of the letter. He just shook his head, knowing that he can overspeculate on things. He put the note in his pants pocket, planning on bringing it with him on his trip. He opens his locker to get his chemisty book out when he noticed that he did indeed have his chemisty book in there but with many notes and letters to him. He was in a bit of a shock. Nobody had treated him with respect or even a shread of decency. He had put as many letters and notes as he could into his overstuffed pockets and carried the rest under his arm.
"Wow, I didn't think ANYONE cared." Mattervick said to his mother as he was waiting on the top step of the porch. "But all of these people, I haven't talked to any of them......I don't even know them.". "Well maybe they were just onlookers that just wanted to watch your duels but just did not want to say anything?" his mother suggested. "But why wouldn't they say anything to me about it?" he questioned his mother as he looked into the distance. "Raging teenage hormones? I don't know! Why are you asking me?". Mattervick chuckled lightly to himself, awaiting his ride to the tournament. It seemed like hours waiting for that bus when it had only been 30 minutes. His anticipation was getting the best of him, but then he had realized something. He was going to miss his friends and his mom while he was gone in the tournament. Sure, he wanted to become the number 1 duelist in the world, but their were people that were more important to him than his goal. He had second thoughts about his participation but as soon as he thought of it, alas, the bus had arrived in front of his house. Mattervick was in shock. It was an extreamly expensive looking and very nice bus, that the rock stars use. He looked inside and smiled widely at all of the luxerys inside of the bus. It was almost better than his own house. It had everything from a bathroom, shower, kitchen, Livingroom, everything! But then he started to think again. He knew that his second thoughts were fieble and that it was just because he was nervous of it all, but he did not show it at all on his face. He had a face of confidence as he turned to his mother to say farewell to her. He grabbed his bags and approached the bus as his mother waved to him, a single tear coming down her cheek, realizing that she is going to miss her only son for however long this tournament lasts.
He sat down in the middle section of the bus and to the seats away from his house, so he wouldn't have anymore second thoughts about this. He thought to himself and tried to encourage himself to do well in this. *Ok Matt, your friends, family, and all of the people who wrote you your letters are cheering you on. But whatever happens in this tournament, you have to be ruthless, you have to be cruel, you have to win it all. If you make friends along the way, don't let that get in your way. It's your goal. It's the goal that you have been wanting for most of your life. Win. That is your only option. Win.*. "I've been waiting for you Mattervick Sudaki!". A strange voice coming from the back of the bus snapped Mattervick out of his "trance". He turned around to see a person that was about his age. He had blond hair that shinned off of the beams of the sun with blue, piercing, eyes. "Who are you?" Mattervick asked the stranger. "The name is Vick. Vick Reynolds. I have been watching your duels in school, but I haven't had the WANT to actually duel you. But hey, since we have a 14 hour trip ahead of us, we might as well have a duel while we wait. Your not a very good duelist. You just have good luck with your drawing and you face duelists that have had no experience at all. So for me, a natural-born, dueling you should be no sweat at all!". A look of boredom struck Mattervick's face as he looked at Vick from the middle section of the bus. There was no one else on the bus except the 2 duelists so they were both stuck together for the 14 hour trip to Chicago. He then shrugged and responded, "Hey, lets duel and I'll show you how good I am. Maybe you will be lucky enough to beat me....but I highly doubt it.".
--------------------------Dialouge Form------------------------------------- -
The two duelists use a table that is located in the bus. Before they begin, they load their duel disks up and take out the cards from their specific slot. Mattervick notices that Vick has a duel disk that instead of a blue outline like his, it has a red outline. He just shruged and did not bother asking. They sit across from eachother, Vick with a look of confidence on his face and Mattervick with a look of concentration on his. They shuffle eachothers deck and give them back to the owner.
Vick: "Well this should be fun. But lets change the rules a little bit."
Mattervick: "How so?"
Vick: "Well lets scratch the whole sacraficing-monsters-in-order-to-summon- more-powerful-monsters rule. We can use any monster we have in our hand at anytime without a sacrafice. We don't use duel disks, just the cards"
Mattervick looks at him and then look down at the table. He gets a grin of excitment on his face, almost as if he knows he has already won the duel.
Mattervick: "Alright, that should make things interesting. Ready to duel?"
Vick: "Ya, prepare to lose."
Life Points: Mattervick: 4000 Vick: 4000
Vick: "Ok, for my first move, I put down......THE BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON!!"
Blue Eyes White Dragon: Atk/3000 Def/2500
He slams the card down on the table and gets an expression full of excitment on his face.
Mattervick: shaking his head "My my your very confident that I can't beat that. Well for my first move, I , also, put down a Blue Eyes White Dragon in attack mode but then, give him something that your Blue Eyes doesn't have. The magical equip card Horn of the Unicorn! It raises his attack and defense by 700 points."
Blue Eyes White Dragon: Atk/3700 Def/3200
Mattervick: "Now my Blue Eyes will destroy yours!"
Vick: "Damn! How lucky did YOU get?! Anyways, you won't get so lucky next time around. I got a card that will clench this match for me!"
Mattervick: "Well then, I should match this match end quick huh?"
Vick: "Heh, ya like you can. Anyways, for my next move, I will put this card face down in defense mode to protect my life points."
Mattervick: "Well even your defense won't be able to stop my next turn. First, I will put down Lord of Dragons, in attack mode."
Lord of Dragons: Atk/1200 Def/1100
Mattervick: "Then I will equip him with the magic card Flute of Summoning Dragon, which allows me to summon up to 2 dragons out of my hand and I know the exact ones to pick. I put down the mighty Red Eyes Black Dragon and Ryu-Ran!"
Red Eyes Black Dragon: Atk/2400 Def/2000 Ryu-Ran: Atk/2200 Def/2600
Vick: "Wait a minute! You can't.....that's just......AHHHHH!!!"
Mattervick: "Oh but I am not done yet. Finally, I put down the magic card Monster Reborn! That gives me the opportunity to take YOUR Blue Eyes White Dragon out of the graveyard and now it belongs to me."
Vick: "I.....I......" Cannot even begin to comprehend how quickly he has basically been beaten.
Mattervick: chuckles slightly to himself "So now do you realize what you have gotten yourself into? I have Ryu-Ran, The Red Eyes Black Dragon, the Lord of Dragons, and not one, but 2 Blue Eyes White Dragons! You've basically got nowhere to go my friend. No where to go."
Ryu-Ran: Atk/2200 Def/2600 Red Eyes Black Dragon: Atk/2400 Def/2000 Lord of Dragons: Atk/1200 Def/1100 Blue Eyes White Dragon: Atk/3000 Def/2500 Blue Eyes White Dragon: Atk/3700 Def/3200
Mattervick: Now, my Ryu-Ran takes out your face down, then everyone else attakcs your life points directly. Game over, you lose, and I win.
Life Points: Mattervick: 4000 Vick: 0
Vick: I.....I......I uhhhh.....I........
Mattervick: Ya ok, im going to eat something. Later
Vick: I...........I.........
--------------------------3rd Person Form----------------------------------- ---
And that very short battle set the mood for the rest of the trip. Mattervick did as he wished in the bus while Vick sat in his chair, still in shock, for 7 straight hours until he finally moved to go to bed. 7 more hours later, at 5:00 PM, the two duelists finally arrived in Chicago. Vick did not say a word to Mattervick throughout the whole trip.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----
Well how was it for my first duel? I thought it was a bit short but it showed how skilled and how lucky Mattervick can be. Luck and skill will be nessessary throughout the tournament. Chapter 4 is coming!!!!......*echo*....coming.......coming........coming.......
