Hey it's been a while since I've updated. I've been so busy with evil homework and I have to catch up my grades in school. Well on with the story

Chapter 3: The Beginning of the tournament.

Five minutes after the announcement Mark and Patrick along with thousands of other duelists went off the boat when they were introduced by Melvin Kaiba, son of Mokuba Kaiba.

Melvin: "I welcome everyone to the duelist island tournament. This tournament will be just like the battle city tournament. However instead you will be required to acquire 12 locator cards instead of 6. However the risks in this duel are higher. You and your opponent have to negotiate two cards or more depending on the risks from the other player. The loser will have to give the cards agreed. When you have all twelve locator cards you will need to pile them together. When done that there will be a secret location shown on the locator card. That will be the area of the finals. You have eight days to get all twelve cards. If you are eliminated or run out of time you will be taken back to the mainland. As you can see there are many buildings around the island" he said pointing to the area around him. The way it works is you start with 200 credits which are required to rent a room at the hotel or buy necessities required for living on this island. You earn extra points when you win a duel. The remainder of the life points you have is how many extra points you are going to get. You are aloud to combine your points with other people and there is no limit in how many people you can combine with but be cautioned more people means more spending needed.

Everyone started to gasp. People started to chat about the rules. Mark and Patrick found Hillary and Alysha and they weren't worried at all. Apparently they have been in these types of contests before.

Melvin: LET THE DUELIST ISLAND TOURNAMENT BEGIN!

Everyone suddenly scattered around and begun to find necessities and some duels before the day ended.

Hillary and Alysha came up to Mark and Patrick. "Do you think you're ready?" Alysha asked them.

Mark "maybe but I don't know. We should find some duels and shelter before the day ends."

Patrick: "I guess"

Alysha: "Hey Hillary do you want to pool our points together?"

Hillary: "Sure thing."

Mark: "Do you want to Patrick?"

Patrick: "Yeah sure"

? ?? ??? ???? "We challenge you four to a duel"

Mark and the others heard as they turned around. They met four people in cloaks so they were unable to see their faces. Although all of them were wearing a shirt and all four of them had a scar on their right arm representing the shape of a cross.

Mark: how about us four take all our turns at once and then when we done you four go and vice versa.

?: O.K

Mark: And life points are combined so both teams have 8000. If one person on your team gets hit the team's life points go down if they go up life points go up as well. You can sacrifice your partners' monsters to summon your own. And for the first turn no one can attack. Also the last rule is you can defend for your partner no matter what position your monster is in also you can show your partners your hand. Agreed?

??: Sounds good

Mark: By the way what are your names? Maybe we should get a introduction for all of us.

????: Sounds ok with me...

?: Blake ??: Clare ???: Anthony ????: Steve

Steve: you?

Alysha: Alysha Mark: Mark Patrick: Patrick Hillary: Hillary

Patrick: So let's get on with the duel.

Alysha: how should we divide the cards up?

Steve: how about each person from the winning team gets 1 card from each of the losers.

Anthony: ok with you guys?

Hillary: yup... this should be fun.

Everyone in Unison: LET'S DUEL!!

Mark: We will start if you don't mind

Patrick: I summon Lord of Dragons in attack mode and set 3 cards.

Hillary: (Hum... a dragon deck perfect (A/N: brackets will be thoughts)) I will activate one of my favorite cards. The Flute of summoning dragon, this allows me to summon two dragons from my hand so arise Silver light holy dragon (A/N after cards if there's a it means I made it up and I will give attack/defense effects type at end) 4000/2000 and Black dark curse dragon 3000/2000. These two monsters are my two strongest although they only need 2 sacrifices each it takes me 500 lifepoints every full phase.

Blake: (it doesn't matter we can take those easily)

Mark: I set 4 cards. I'm done.

Alysha: guess its my turn... I will play unholy curse which allows me to take any number of cards from my deck at the cost of my opponent(s) gaining 2000 life points per card. So I take 3 cards

Mark: (she is probably up to something but 2000 life points a card is a lot while were combining)

Alysha: I activate super cost down its effect is that I am allowed to take 6 stars off a monster although my opponent(s) gain 2000 life points. So I set one monster face down and set 3 cards face down.

Report

Patrick team: 8000 LP Cards on field (which are known) Silver light holy dragon, Black dark curse dragon, Lord of Dragons, 11 cards face down

Blake team: 16000 LP

end of report

Blake: our turns then. I summon angelic healer this card is very rare. It gives our team 8000 life points.

Steve: ha nice with this boost we will flatten them.

Patrick: don't get that overconfident.

Clare: Why not? We obviously have the advantage over a bunch of amateurs.

Hillary: pardon me????

Anthony: oh come on Clare your suppose to be nice with losers

Alysha: haha you guys are going down. Let's see you try

Blake: I believe it's our turn and yes I believe we will show you. I summon death monkey 1400/2085 haha meet one of the many monsters of your demise. Now I activate Rageki which will destroy all your monsters.

Mark: haha I cant believe you actually did that. Activate Anti – Rageki!! destroying your death monkey.

Blake: I discard holy monkey to keep my death monkey on the field. Not only that but when holy monkey is sent to the graveyard from Death monkeys effect it can be special summoned onto the field and you lose 1000 life points. I'm done

Anthony: well ill just set 3 cards

Clare: ill set 2

Steve: I set 4 and one monster

Patrick: so you're done then and it's our turn.

I think ill leave it there. Great time for a cliffhanger.

Remember R&R!!
