Chapter 7
It was only a few minutes after Joey's victory over the masks of light and dark.
"I told you Kaiba would help"said Yugi.
"Yeah, because he was forced to"
"I don't know. I think Kaiba's gotten a little respect for you as a duelist"said Yugi.
"Yeah maybe you're right"
"AHG"
"Huh"
Joey turned around. 3 boys about his age were circled around a little boy laying face down on the ground. He had short and spiked Black hair with a Darkish Grey T-shirt with a Black line going down the left side. He had Blue jeans and White sneakers with Black stripes.
"With these cards we'll rock"said one.
"Stop it right there"said Joey.
"Who are you dweeb"asked one of them.
"The name's Joey Wheeler. You give those cards back to that kid now"said Joey.
"Man Joey, do you sound heroic"thought Joey.
"Focus on them Joey"said Yugi.
"Oh, right"thought Joey.
"Why do you care about what happens to this kid?"asked another.
"Because I don't like bullies picking on those smaller then them. Think you're so tough, huh? Well you can take those cards, but only if ya beat me in a duel for them"
Joey put his deck into his duel disk.
"Fine with me. It's a good thing I brought this"said the middle one. He had a dueldisk too
"P-please, d-
"It's okay kid, I can take this clown"
"Let's duel"
Joey:2000 Gang leader:2000
They drew their hands.
"Allright loser. I summon Flying Kamatari #1 in attack mode"
It had 1200 ATK and 900 DEF.
"No problem. First I'll place this face down. Now my Flameswordsman will take him down, attack with Flaming Sword of battle"
Joey:2000 Gang leader:1400
"Think you're so smart huh? Well check this out"
He drew a card.
"Yes"he thought.
"I summon Twin Headed Fire dragon in attack mode"
It had an ATK of 2200 and DEF of 1700.
"Blast his Swordsman to ashes"
"Uh uh, activate the trap card Skull dice. The number rolled detirmines your monster's attack power"
It rolled 3.
Now his monster's attack was only 550!
"NO"
"Swordsman, attack"
Joey:2000 Gang leader:150
"Allright then. I'll play a trap of my own, Spell Binding circle. This lowers your monster's attack by 700. So now it only has 1100 attack points"
Joey snickered.
"Now I summon a fire user as well. Dark Fire Soldier. Attack his Swordsman"
It had an attack of 1700 and DEF of 1150.
Joey:1400 Gang leader:150
"No problem. I'm about to end this duel. I summon Red eyes Black Dragon"
"AW"gasped the other 2.
"No way, where did you get such a card?"
"Red eyes attack"
Joey:1400 Gang leader:0000
"Here take the stupid cards" said the gang leader putting them in his hand. The 3 ran off.
Joey helped the kid up.
"Here, take'em"
"I don't deserve them anyway. What kind of duelist has to rely on others to fight his battles? You keep them"
"I've never heared such nonsense"
"But it's true, I'm the worst duelist I know"
"What's your name kid?"
"Matt, why?"
"Well Matt, you can be a good duelist if you put your heart in it"
"What heart? I don't even have a home, I had to steal those cards from card shops. I was hoping to enter the next tournament with prize money, but I don't have what it takes"
"Sure you can kid. I'll teach ya to be a good duelist"
"You will?"
"Sure, c'mon. You know the rules, right?" **********************************************
They were in Joey's dining room. His father was out so he was home alone.
"Allright, the first thing you need to know about being a good duelist is to never give up no matter how bad it looks. Until either you or your opponent hits 0 lifepoints, the match isn't over. If you ever forget that kid I'll have to hurt ya"
"I won't, now what about strategies"
"Sorry kid, that's not my place to teach ya. Every duelist has to come up with diffrent kinds of strategies. I'll duel you right now, just for practice"
"Okay"
They shuffled their decks and drew.
"Let's see now. The only 2 monsters in my hand are Giant soldier of Stone and Gazzele the king of mythical beasts. Defence or attack? He's probaly gonna start out with a strong monster so I'll go on defence"he thought.
"I place my monster in defence mode"
"My move then. I'll place one card face down, and summon Swordsman of landstar, in attack mode"
It had an ATK of 500 and DEF on 1200.
"I remember him playing a trap for that kid. So he probaly has a trap down. I know I can beat hm since I saw his strategy earlier"he thought drawing.
"I place one card face down. Then I'll attack with Seyaru"
"I'll activate Graceful dice"
He took a dice out of his pocket.
"Please give a good one"he thought. He rolled it.
"Yes, a 6. Now his attack is 3000. Attack his Seyaru"
Joey:2000 Matt:1500
"Nice, but now I activate the trap Attack and recieve. It does 700 damage to your lifepoints whenever I recieve damage"
Joey:1300 Matt:1500
"See kid, you came with your own strategy. Now it's my move"he said drawing. ******************************************************* 30 minutes later
Joey:350 Matt:1000
Joey had his Red eyes in defence mode, while Matt had his Blue eyes out.
Joey drew.
"I play Energy drain. This reduces your monster's attack to 0"
"AH!"
"I switch Red eyes to attack mode. I win"
"Man, you're good"
"You're good too. It was a close duel, you're one of the toughest opponents I've faced"
"Well I won't stop dueling until I'm good enough to beat you" ***************************************************
Serenity Wheelr was sleeping in her hospital bed. However, her sleep was soon interupted. The millenium symbol was one her head.
Standing in the hospital room hidden from all was Malik.
"Come to me my mind slave"
