From now on this story is taking place in the yu-gi-oh world, some of the shows charecters will be showing up but not until later. And now... on to the story!!
Chapter 2: Luck...or destiny?
The bell rang to signal the end of school as the students began collecting there stuff and filing out of the classrooms as fast as they could without getting in trouble. "You ready to go down to the card shop?" asked Kristen.
"Yeah, but I cant stay down there for long, I gotta help my mom clean out the attic this afternoon" replied Lauren, picking up her bookbag and following Kristen outside.
From the outside the card shop looked just like every other building on the block, but once you stepped inside you could instantly tell the difference. When Lauren and Kristen stepped inside they were greeted by the cardboard cutout of the Dark Magician, a monster that had always been the shop owners, Mr. Roberts, favorite. Inside the main part of the small store stood three long tables, each one having three playmats on them. Off to the side in one corners was a small glass counter that housed all the new decks and booster packs that Mr. Roberts sold throughout the year. As Lauren and Kristen got closer to the counter they saw a small sign that signaled the selling of the new series. " Shining Manifestdestiny. Challenge your opponent, challange the future" Lauren read the writing on the small sign while Kristen looked at the new starter decks.
"Hey Lauren, we should both buy a new deck, then I bet we could beat Todd easily." said Kristen, "and look at all of the decks. They have a fairy deck, a sea serpant deck, and even a luck deck."
As Lauren and Kristen looked over the decks, Mr. Roberts quietly entered from a door in the back, carrying a small box. "Good Afternoon girls, interested in buying a new deck?" asked Mr. Roberts.
"Yeah", replied Lauren, looking at the price tags, "but I dont get my allowance for a few more days and I dont have enough right now to get a deck."
"Me neither" added Kristen.
"Well, im sorry to here that" replied Mr. Roberts, opening the box, "but since you two are my first visitors since I the new series in and since you both are my best customers, how about I give you these and you can pay me back whenever you get the money." Mr. Roberts pulled two booster packs out of the box he was carrying and handed one to each of the girls.
"Thanks you!" said both of the girls in unison. Lauren looked at the wrapping on the packs, each wrapping was a dark purple color that was covered with stars and strange writing.
Both girls didnt waste much time opening there packs and looking inside of them and reading there titles. "Queen of the Air, Tiny Guardsman, Tempting Songstress, Spirit of the Uncontrolable, Horrid Stench, Futuristic Camera, Bed-Side Manner, and Sceptar of the Flower King. These cards look pretty cool" said Kristen, "what did you get Lauren?"
Lauren looked through her cards, but each one was just a black card, except for the last one, which had writing on it. Lauren had to squint her eyes to read all of the writing that was on the last card.
Dear Duelist,
Please visit our website at and enter the phrase "Destiny Duel" in the search bar, it will be worth the trouble.
Lauren had to read over the writing a few times before finally putting it down. "It will be worth your trouble?" Lauren questioned what the card meant, but if it meant getting something special then she was all in.
"Hey, I said what did you get?" repeated Kristen.
"Huh, Ooo, nothing that special, ill show you them later, I got go, thanks Mr. Roberts!" Lauren said as she exited the store, leaving behind a very confused Kristen.
After Lauren helped her mother she retreated into her room and over to her computer. After booting it up she quickly went to the website printed on the card. The front page was filled with pictures of monsters and news about the game. It didnt take long for Lauren to find the search bar on the page and quickly entered the phrase "Destiny Duel" into the blank. After pressing the search bar a whole new page was brought up. This page didnt have any pictures, or even a background to it, just a white page filled with writing.
Dear Duelist,
It is I, Maximillion Pegasus writing this to congradulate you on your find. This, of course, did not happen by accident, as this was an act of fate. Out of the nearly 1 million booster packs that were sent out world wide, only five hundred contained the same set of cards that you received. By now you are wondering what exacting you can receive by getting a rare find such as this, the answer is simple, a chance to duel in my outcoming tournament located in the newly built "Duelist Park" in Akihabora, Japan. All costs for travel and stay will be provided by myself, of course. Finally, each duelist will be allowed to bring one person allow with them. This person will act as a coach, second, and modivator all in one, so choose carfully. The tournament is scheduled to begin in two weeks. Please fill out the form at the bottom of the page to receive your tickets, and most of all... May Fate be with You!
Lauren couldnt believe what she had just read, she had just won the chance to be in one of Pegasus tournaments! As she scanned over to letter again she paused at the end. She was allowed to bring one person with her, but who? A smail came to lips as she thought about taking Todd with her. Imagine his surprise if she told him about being able to compete in the next Duel Monsters Tournament and making him watch each of her duels. The idea was soon sqaushed as she looked at what the other person would be doing. "Coach, second, and modivator. Todd would make sure to shatter my self-esteem before we even got to the tournament just to make sure id lose" Lauren said to herself. Pretty soon though she knew who she would be taking. "I have to take Kristen with me, shed be the perfect coach and modivator, and shes not a bad duelist either."
Lauren began filling out the form at the bottom of the page and after sending it off she quickly called her friend and told her the great news. "Thats great! Spring Break is in two weeks, that means we wont have to miss any school for it! But wont your parents say no to it?" asked Kristen.
"Nope, mom and dad are going to a buisness conference that week and had planned for me to stay by myself that week, when I told them about the tournament and about how you were going and how it would probably be aired on television they agreed, its so great!" squealed Lauren, "I cant wait!"
Yay! This is the end of this chapter, I think I tied up all the loose ends. By the way, if your wondering how different duelist from all over the world can duel against each other without having to bring interpretors, its simple. For this story were going to pretend that everyone in the world speaks the same language. I know it my be cheap, but the last story I tried writing that involved different languages involved a color-coded system and everyone being at least tri-lingual. It got so bad I quit. Now for the big news... I need a few people to agree to help me with this story. I plan on it being big and I need people to pitch ideas, as well as new card ideas to. If you can help please post or email me. Dont forget, if you want to be in this stpry as a duelist post along with your favorite card, I plan on there being a lot of duels.
