Duel Masters By: John Eon, a.k.a. Fanman Copyright belongs to the various corporations in various locations, so I don't own a penny's worth of these games aside from cards and games. One of the main characters is the only thing that really belongs to me, as he really is me when my deck was good. Finally, I would like to take this time to thank you for reading this waste of time and space, which I have created: Thanks!

Ch. 1: The Eager Duelist

"Seto Kaiba?" I asked, the only thing which has been said since I entered the CEO's office. "No, I'm Mokuba Kaiba, Seto has been promoted in rank here at Kaiba Corp., how can I help you?" The young child before me asks. "Hm, I suppose I should have known Kaiba would be somewhat.taller. Well, I require an audience with your elder brother, so if you could kindly show me the way to him, I will be out of your hair." I state, eager to meet the owner of three of four Blue Eyes White Dragon cards. Although, it seems the young man took slight offence from my words, and merely pointed me in the direction of a door on the other side of the room

"Through that door, take the first left. He will be through the first door on your right." He stated, getting back to the large pile of paper work in front of him. "Thanks." I said, as I walk through the door. Well, it was obvious that Mokuba had called Seto, because he was waiting for me when I reached his door. "Hello, you must be the guy who wanted to meet me." He said, sticking his hand out of his coat pocket to me. I grasped it and shook firmly. "Yeah, that's me." I said. "I'm here to make an you an offer. I want to challenge you to a duel. Duel Monsters, of course." I said, pulling my deck from my pocket. Well, I suppose now I should tell you about me. I'm 5'8" tall, weigh about 110 pounds, and happened to be wearing my favorite attire. Blue jean shorts, a grayish tank top, and a greenish over shirt with palm trees on it. You know, the thin kind that doesn't need buttoning because you're wearing a shirt?

Well, he kind of raised his right eyebrow, grinned a bit, snickered, turned, and led the way to the first duel arena that used holograms for battling. "Well, why do you want to duel? Nobody duels for fun anymore." He said, the grin still obvious on his face. "Well, you caught me. Here's the stakes. I put up my deck, which even you may envy, and buy you dinner sometime, my treat." I said, hands in my pockets. "Well, no need to continue. I don't plan on losing." He said, as we came upon a large door. "Well, you may want to listen to this, cause here's what I ask of you." I began, and he sighed. "I want a few sets of those little disk things you used to battle that Yugi Moto kid on Duelist Island." I said quickly, but not too fast that he wouldn't catch what I said. And he kept walking, up to his side of the large dueling arena. "Fine, now get over there. I want to end this and get me some dinner." He said, grinning wickedly.

And, we started. My first hand wasn't too great, to anyone who didn't play much. "Kid, you go first!" He yelled, and so I did. "I play my Mystical Plasma Zone, and put down a Dark Clown, in attack position." I clearly stated. You should have seen the look in his eyes when my Clown went from 1500 attack power to 2000. "In case you're wondering, Seto, the Mystical Plasma Zone raises the attack of all Dark monsters by 500, and lowers their defense by 400!" I called. He just snorted. "Well, that's all fine and dandy for you, but that wont matter for long. Go, Blue Eyes White Dragon!" he called. Frankly, I was amazed by the speed in which he got his precious dragon, and nervously dragged my right hand through my hair. I wasn't ready for the dragons yet. "Okay, calm down." I said to myself as I drew a card to start my turn. It turned out to be a Sangan, one of my personally favorite cards. "I'll put this card down in defense position, and as well place this card face down!" I called, putting down my Sangan and a Monster Reborn. He grinned, switched his Blue Eyes to defense, and played a fissure card, destroying my Dark Clown, as it was my only face up card. That made me happy to have my Sangan face down, or my plan wouldn't quite work. "Now, I place another Blue Eyes on the field!" he called.

'Geez, he's already about to get all three of them, and my plan ain't ready!' I thought to myself, as he arrogantly drew his card, to end his turn. And I drew mine. That's the way I play, drawing at the beginning of my turn, as I know what I can do faster. And so I put a Dark Hole card face down. "Now, I'll put down my La Jinn, Mystical Genie of the Lamp!" I yelled, as I put him in attack, his attack going from 1800 to 2300. "Nice kid, but it's now officially over! Go, Blue Eyes! And as well, Polymerization!" he said, putting down his final Blue Eyes and flipping the magic card I had neglected so long ago. "Now, Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Attack the face down card." And I smiled. "Well Kaiba, you killed my Sangan! But that means I can draw any card from my deck directly to my hand and shuffle my deck!" I said smiling, as I moved Sangan to the graveyard and pulled another Dark Clown from my deck, and shuffled. "Now, I draw my card to begin my turn!" I grinned as my Thunder Dragon came to my hand. "Now Kaiba, I will use my Thunder Dragon's effect, draw as many monsters from your deck as you wish that equal up to two Thunder Dragons, to get my special card! Now Kaiba, I play Dark Hole! Your Ultimate Dragon is defeated. Now, I will play my monster reborn, to bring it back to my side! Now, I unleash my Dark Magician, in attack position! Go!" I call, as my plan of blitzkrieg was finally put into play. "Now my minions, Attack his life points!" And as quickly as the battle had started, it was over. He was in shock. He thought the only way to defeat his precious dragon was to get Exodia. Well, I don't need Exodia to win.

"Well, kid, good duel. Sadly, I have lost once again. For the third time. In half a year." He stopped, and sighed. "I'll get you your prize." He said, leading me to yet another room. And as he walked into the next room, I was watching the floor. And to my amazement, at the feet of Seto Kaiba, a small, near invisible drop of water came into existence. And just in time to see his hand move away from his left eye, where the small tear had originated and was destroyed.

And so ends chapter one. Yeah, it was short. Sure, it had no true meaning, and yes, the battle was cheap. What can I say; I haven't done this kind of story before. So, wait for ch.2 Please! It probably will get better!
