A World of Questions
Chapter One: Recognition
By opaltiger
'Uhh. Where am I? Who am I? I can't remember anything apart from darkness... and light,' he muttered, getting up.
'What is this place?' Walls, a ceiling. Water dripping. He was in a cave. 'I'll bet my dueling deck I wasn't here when I, when I, when I what? Blacked out?' he wondered aloud to himself.
'Wait! My dueling deck!' He pulled out the deck, which had been stored in his pocket. All his cards were still there, his Black Skull Dragon at the front.
'I sure hope they play Duel Monsters in this world,' he mused to himself. Wait. Where had the recognition of being in a different world come from? It had just...appeared in his mind.
I don't remember any caves near Broken Hill, he thought. Wait. Broken Hill. Isn't that in Australia? Is that where I come from?
While thinking these thoughts, he hardly noticed that he was automatically walking towards the exit. Wait a second, how do I know were the exit is? He just knew.
***
'Master, he approaches.'
'Excellent. Bring me my deck. Now!' The figure walked into the darkness.
***
He kept walking. Towards light, which was now visible at the end of the tunnel.
'Stop,' a voice said. He dismissed it. Then a figure appeared, moving towards him. 'I said STOP!' He stopped.
'What do you want? Who are you?' he asked.
'I am known as Hirokima. And I challenge you to a duel!' Hirokima replied. 'The stakes: our three rarest cards... and if you win, which is very unlikely, of course, I shall tell you your name.
'It was inviting. But his rarest cards... 'No thanks. I'll pass,' he said.
'You do not understand,' Hirokima whispered, his voice deathly quiet. 'You do not have a CHOICE!' He trembled at this sudden outburst.
'V-very well then,' he replied. Then suddenly a glow emitted from him, and his voice changed. 'But be warned: I SHALL NOT LOSE!!'
Hirokima seemed taken aback by this sudden outburst of power, but composed himself. An arena rose out of the ground.
'Prepare to lose,' said Hirokima, stepping onto the platform.
'We shall see,' he said, following suit. 'It's time to Duel!' they both yelled.
???: 2000 Hirokima: 2000
'I'll start,' he said, drawing six cards. (Red-Eyes, Polymerization, Mirror Force, Red Medicine, Reinforcements, Scapegoat) 'Tribute or non-tribute?' he asked.
'Tribute,' Hirokima calmly replied.
'OK... in that case, I play three cards facedown, and Red Medicine to increase my life points by 500!' he declared.
'Very well, then. Neo the Magic Swordsman (1700/1000), in attack mode, and I'll attack your life points directly!' Hirokima motioned for the Swordsman to attack.
'Not so fast, I activate one of my down cards, Scapegoat!' he countered.
Four small, multicoloured goats appeared on the field. One of them drifted in front of Neo's sword and was instantly destroyed.
He drew a card. Hmm. Dragon Treasure, handy... 'I sacrifice two Scapegoats to summon Red -Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000)!' The huge, black dragon appeared on the field. 'And now I equip it with Dragon Treasure to increase its stats to 2700/2300. Now, Red-Eyes, attack Neo with Inferno Fire Blast (Authors Note: I apologize if the attacks are incorrect)!'
Hirokima's LP dropped to 1000. 'A minor set back, since I now summon... Millennium Shield (0/3000) in defence mode!' Hirokima placed his newly drawn card on the field.
His opponent drew another card. 'One card face down, and I end my turn.'
Hirokima drew, and a smile spread across his face. 'I play the Celtic Guardian, then sacrifice it and the Millennium Shield to summon... the Dark Magician (2500/2100)! Equipped with Sword of Dark Destruction, to raise its attack to 2900/1900, I attack your Red-Eyes!' Hirokima said.
'Activate Negate Attack,' he calmly replied. The attack was stopped.
'That only protects you for one turn, then your Red-Eyes is a goner!' Hirokima gloated.
'Make that three turns, Hirokima! For I activate The Swords of Revealing Light to stop you from attacking for three turns!' he announced. Hirokima growled.
'One card in facedown defence mode!' Hirokima declared. 'And one card face down.'
He studied his cards. 'One defence mode monster. Now attack his down card, Red-Eyes!' The card was flipped to reveal the Celtic Guardian, but it was not destroyed. 'What happened?'
Hirokima smirked. 'I activated my Negate Attack,' he explained. Now it was the other man's turn to growl.
'My turn,' said Hirokima. 'And I activate Black Luster Ritual! I'll sacrifice Dark Magician and Celtic Guardian to summon... Black Luster Soldier (3000/2800) in attack mode!'
He gasped as the huge soldier appeared on the field.
'And that's not all! De-Spell to destroy the Swords, and I'll attack your down card.' The Witch of the Black Forest was revealed and instantly destroyed. 'Hah! Take that!' Hirokima gloated.
'That activates its effect. I may take one card with under 1500 Def from my deck and put it in my hand,' he replied.
'How does that help you? And anyway, I still haven't finished my turn,' Hirokima said. 'I now activate Tremendous Fire! You lose 1000 LP, while I lose 500!'
The score now stood at: ???: 1000, Hirokima: 500.
'I'll play another Red Medicine to increase my LP to 1500, and I play one card face down.' He placed the cards on the field.
Hirokima drew a card. 'Now I activate Fairy's Hand Mirror, which allows me to copy one magic card played, and I choose Red Medicine!'
Now it was 1500 to 1000.
'And another Tremendous fire to even the scores! Now, Black Luster Soldier, attack Red-Eyes,' Hirokima ordered.
The soldier ran up to strike the dragon, but was stopped by three women in hooded cloaks.
'Ah. Waboku. I see.'
He drew a card, and a smile spread across his face. 'Now to win this match!' he replied. 'First, I play Polymerization to fuse Red-Eyes and the Summoned Skull (2500/1200) I got from Witch of the Black Forest, to form my ultimate beast! My Black Skull Dragon (3200/2800)!'
The huge beast appeared facing the Soldier.
'Now I play the magic card Quick Attack, allowing me to attack on the same turn my Dragon was fused! And finally I play the Magician of Faith (300/200) in attack mode. Now Skull Dragon, attack the Soldier!'
The dragon let loose a fireball and lowered Hirokima's LP to 300.
'Your turn, Magician of Faith, finish him off!' The Magician ran up and struck Hirokima with his virtual staff.
Hirokima's LP dropped to 0.
On the other side of the field Hirokima visibly slumped. 'So be it,' he said. 'Here are Black Luster Soldier and Ritual, and the Dark Magician. And your name, your name is... Brian.'
***
As Brian approached the end of the tunnel, light drifted in.
He finally made it into the sunshine. Now that he could see himself, he noticed he was wearing jeans and a red shirt. He also carried a backpack he had managed not to notice.
Inside was some food and water, money, his spare cards, an un-opened pack of cards, and some sort of dagger with jewels on its handle.
He pondered over this but dismissed it.
Brian looked up and finally noticed what lay in the valley before him: A city shining in the night sky.

'That activates its effect. I may take one card with under 1500 Def from my deck and put it in my hand,' he replied.
'How does that help you? And anyway, I still haven't finished my turn,' Hirokima said. 'I now activate Tremendous Fire! You lose 1000 LP, while I lose 500!'
