Episode 3: Jounochi VS Mask of Rock, Part 1

_______________________________

Everyone has gathered inside the Kaiba Dome Arena where Mokuba stands, holding a micro phone. Airplanes leave a trail of smoke which said "KC Grand Prix" and fire works flew into the sky

All this meant that it was now the beginning of the KC Grand Prix.

"Welcome to the KC Grand Prix Opening!" Mokuba announced. "This is our greatest event in Kaiba Corporation history! I'm sorry that Seto Kaiba, himself, couldn't introducing the tournament here but I'll be filling in."

Everyone began cheering for Mokuba and the lined up duelist, ready for the KC Grand Prix.

"Honda!" Anzu yelled, smacking Honda on the head as he made faces into the camera.

"The rules are simple. Each duelist is separated into either Block A or Block B. Each will face off until there is one duelist left to face the Defending Champion, Yugi Mutou! But we won't be dueling here, folks." Mokuba explained. "Each duel will be hosted at a certain area of the KC Grand Prix. So now! Here are the two first duels of the KC Grand Prix!"

Mokuba pointed to the big screen where a Tournament Graph showed up and four duelist were chosen at random to duel.

"Jounochi and Mask of Rock!" Rebecca pointed out.

"And Leon VS Dr. Richard Goat!" Anzu pointed out. "Leon! You can win!"

Leon looked down at Anzu, blushing. Suddenly Mokuba looked toward Yugi. "Ahh! Look it's our defending champion. Yugi Mutou! Why don't you come up here?"

Yugi looked up at Mokuba with a weird face. "Me? Now?" Yugi stuttered.

"Come on Yugi! See your fans!" Mokuba smiled.

"Go Yugi!" Honda said, pushing Yugi up.

Yugi blushed, walking up and seeing the crowd and waving. "There we go." Mokuba smiled.

Suddenly Mokuba saw the crowd's heads look up. Up in the sky was a Blue Eyes White Dragon jet. A figure had jumped out of the plane.

"Seto Kaiba?!" Jounochi said in shock.

Kaiba, in his spiffy white suit, jumped out of the plane with some sort of pack on his back. The pack opened, revealing two jet engines, slowly floating him down to the ground.

"Seto!" Mokuba said, giving him the micro phone.

"Welcome to the KC Grand Prix. This is where duelist compete for the chance to face the defending champion, Yugi Mutou. But be warned, duel with pride and honor. No stupid games or cowards. I expect all you duelist to duel like a real duelist!" Kaiba announced, looking at Sieg. "Block A will be at the Amazon Cruise and Block B Will be at the Roller Coaster. Be there now because you duelist only have 10 minutes!"

Leon, Dr. Richard Goat, and Mask of rock were already gone. "Jounochi! What are you doing?!" Anzu yelled.

Jounochi turned around, he had been eating hot dogs. "You should be at the Amazon Cruise!" Yugi called out.

"But look! Free food!" He said, happily, holding up hot dogs.

"Jounochi! Go!" Mokuba yelled.

"Ok ok!" Jounochi grumbled, running off.

Leon got to the empty space in the middle of the roller coaster, seeing the doctor ahead of him. He quickly walked up to him. "Hello, little one." The doctor said, handing him his deck to shuffle. Leon handed the doctor his deck and they both shuffled, handing their decks back.

"Duel!" Both Leon and Richard yelled as their Duel Disk's folded out and life points rose to 4000.

Meanwhile, Mask of Rock was waiting at the Aztec duel zone. "Jounochi!" Yugi yelled as Jounochi jumped up on their boat.

"I got to get there! I can't be slacking off again!" He said.

"Well it's your fault in the first place for slacking off!" Anzu yelled as their boat hit land. Jounochi jumped out, heading through the trail.

Suddenly there was a yell. The group quickly got to a hole where Jounochi had fallen in. "Jounochi, be more alert!" Honda said, helping him out.

"Shut up! I can do this!" Jounochi yelled, running off and triggering a string. Suddenly Otogi looked behind him to see a giant boulder rolling towards them.

"Look!" Otogi said in shock. Everyone screamed, running away from the boulder. Luckily everyone passed Jounochi and the boulder easily rolled over him but appeared to be fake.

"Ack..." Jounochi grumbled as Honda once again, helped him up.

The gang walked over the bridge to see Mask of Rock waiting. "It's about time." Mask of Rock said, getting his duel disk ready.

Both duelist shuffled decks and got ready. "Hey!" Mr. Holfkins said from behind.

"Mr. Holfkins!" Yugi said.

"I guess I should tell you now. Yugi you probably know who Mask of Rock is anyways." Mr. Holfkins said kindly. "Yes it is your grandfather, Yugi. That phone call I got in the morning was him. He had told me here was coming."

"Oh... Well that's nice of him." Yugi said, looking over to Mask of Rock and Jounochi, who still didn't know it was actually Yugi's grandfather.

"I'll move first!" Jounochi announced, looking at his hand. "I'll set two cards face down, and summon Landstar Swordsman! (500/1200) Turn end!"

Mask of Rock drew his next card. "Wandering Mummy, attack mode (1500/1500)" Mask of Rock announced as the mummy materialized onto the field. "I'll set two cards face down and end my turn."

Jounochi drew his next card. "Heh, this will be easy." He smirked. "Now! I summon Little Winguard, in attack mode! (1400/1800). Now, Landstar Swordsman! Attack his Wandering Mummy!"

"Jounochi! Are you stupid or something?! That thing is stronger than your monster!" Honda yelled.

"Shut up! I know what I'm doing!" Jounochi grumbled. "Activate magic card, Angel's Dice!"

"Reverse trap card!" Mask of Rock announced. "Legendary Gambler!"

Suddenly a little angel appeared, tossing the dice. "Legendary Gambler?" Yugi said out loud.

Mask of Rock chuckled. "Jounochi, always relying on luck. If you can get a higher number than me, your attack will be successfullly." He said.

"What?!" Jounochi said, seeing an arm pop out of Mask of Rock's trap card, throwing a black dice. The two dice clashed at each other.

Jounochi's Angel's Dice landed on 4. "Yeah! Beat that you cooky old man!" Jounochi laughed with victory.

Mask of Rock chuckled as his dice landed on 6. "Looks like the odds are against you!" Mask of Rock said.

"Gah?! What?!" Jounochi said as the Angel's Dice magic card dissolved and the effect was negated. "No problem! Reveal trap card, Devil's Dice!"

Suddenly the devil appeared, throwing the red dice while Mask of Rock's trap card threw it's own dice. Both dice clashed again, landing.

"5! Ha!" Jounochi smiled with victory.

"6..." Mask of Rock said, under his mask.

"Noo!" Jounochi grumbled, knowing nothing has changed with his Landstar Swordsman and that he already announced an attack with it.

The little swordsman dove at the mummy but the mummy dove a punch at it, destroying it, and reducing Jounochi's life points to 3000.

"Looks like Mask of Rock has better luck than Jounochi." Anzu pointed out.

Yugi sighed. "Poor Jounochi." He said.

"Errr.. I'll place Little Winguard in defense mode and end my turn." Jounochi announced.

Mask of Rock drew his next card. "Now! Activate trap card, Absolute Evil Region!" He announced as his trap card flipped up. "By discarding one card from my hand, you may not place any cards on the field on your upcoming turn!"

"What?! That's totally unfair!" Jounochi thought, giving a groan.

Mask of Rock discarded a card from his hand, causing his trap card to glow. "I'll then activate this, Mirage of Nightmares! Allowing me to draw until I have four cards on your Standby Phase. I'll then have to discard four cards from my hand on my own Standby Phase after your turn." Mask of Rock explained. "So now I'll end my turn."

Jounochi drew his next card, triggering Mirage of Nightmare's effect. Mask of Rock drew his cards until he had four. "I can't play any cards because of his Absolute Evil Region." Jounochi thought. "I'll end my turn now."

But then Jounochi smiled. "Draw..." Mask of Rock announced.

"Ha! Now you have to discard cards from your hand!" Jounochi pointed.

"I don't think so." Mask of Rock said. "Activate magic card, Emergency Provisions!"

"No!" Jounochi grumbled.

"I can sacrifice Mirage of Nightmare's to increase my life points (MAR: 5000)" Mask of Rock announced. "Turn end."

"Errr... You're going to get it old man!" Jounochi yelled, drawing his next card. "Yes a monster!"

"Remember, my Absolute Evil Region is still in effect." Mask of Rock noted.

"I knew that!" Jounochi grumbled. "Turn end!"

Mask of Rock drew his next card. "Now! I activate this field magic card, Initiated Town, Ancient City!" Mask of Rock announced as a giant stone temple like building rose up from behind the old man.

"Wow...." Yugi said, amazed at the giant tower.

"Now! I sacrifice Wandering Mummy to summon Aciently Giant Man! (2200/1100)" Mask of Rock announced as his mummy dissolved and a giant stone rock warrior materialized in it's place. "I'll then activate Ancient Key!"

"Ancient Key?" Anzu said.

"This magic card allows me to summon two Anciently Giant Man Tokens (2x 400/400)" Mask of Rock said. "Jounochi, you will soon find out why I am summoning these monsters. But for now, Anciently Giant Man! Attack and destroy his Little Winguard!"

"Ack!" Jounochi yelled as the giant stone warrior punched through the little warrior, destroying it

"No! He can attack his life points directly!" Otogi said.

"Now my two Anciently Giant Man tokens... Attack his life points directly!" Mask of Rock announced.

The two little stone warriors dove at Jounochi, punching him at his chest, Jounochi flew back onto the ground, his life points reducing to 2200.

"Wow... Yugi's grandfather has a good strategy..." Anzu said.

"It's no wonder he owns his own card shop." Honda said.

"I never knew my grandpa was this great." Yugi said, watching the duel.

Jounochi slowly got up. "You..." He said, getting up and facing the three stone warriors.
