Yeah, yeah, prologue, that's all this is, just to give you a bit of information on five people and the tournament.
Tournament of the Century
Prologue
--
"There you have it. As per the contest rules, each of you have given me card ideas for your own custom decks, and I have painstakingly delivered." came the silky voice of Maximillion Pegasus, raising a hand and gesturing to the five decks in front of him. He stood up, and brushed aside a bit of silver-ish hair, then crossing his arms in front of him.
"For Joseph, the deck with the power over time. Wield the ability to control its flow as you wish. Also, I've added that bit of Norse myth you wanted."
"For Alice, the deck filled to the brim with haunted, but lovely toys. I will enjoy seeing you topple your opponents with enchanted dolls."
"For Zelse, the deck with the power of music and sound. With the ability to force various curses upon your opponents, you'll find their downfall music to your ears."
"For Janus, a deck bursting with chances which yield no consequence to you should they fail, but grave danger for your opponents should they work."
"And for Exa, a deck with the brightest angels... and the darkest demons. Let your enemies taste the wrath of both Heaven and Hell."
Five people stepped from the shadows surrounding Pegasus' chair, each of varying ages. Pegasus smiled and picked up the first deck, handing it to a boy who couldn't have been older than 16, wearing a pair of slightly baggy pants and an emerald green turtleneck. The boy's brown eyes glimmered a little bit as he smiled, reaching out and taking his deck from Pegasus, bowing a little and having to brush a bit of his black hair out of his eyes with a free hand.
"Thank you, Pegasus." muttered Joseph.
The second deck went to the girl next to Joseph, who seemed to be about 21, wearing a pair of dirty, clay-ridden overalls and an equally dirty pink shirt beneath it, her red hair bound back in a ponytail. She took the deck from Pegasus' outstretched hand and nodded, her blue eyes staring intently at the top card.
"You've done a great job, Pegasus." Said Alice.
The deck in the middle went to the eerily quiet man with silver hair, who was wearing a black tuxedo with a dull grey tie straight down his chest. He held up the first card and smirked softly, his amber eyes scanning it for but a brief moment before looking back to Pegasus.
"Exact. Precise." came Zelse's quiet comment.
The next deck didn't need Pegasus' hand to deliver it. A brown-haired girl about the age of 30 scooped it up and speedily looked through all of the cards, then let out a cackle. She brushed off her scarlet dress and grinned, her fiery red eyes piercing into Pegasus' visible one.
"You did a great job, Mista Pegasus." Janus spat.
Pegasus smirked and handed the final deck to someone whose build was androgynous, and the presence of a mask hid their face from view, and their clothing was unmarked and a simple grey. The figure took the cards and said nothing, but nodded solemnly.
"I'm charmed to have met all of you, but I must be leaving now. As you know, there's going to be a tournament on an island just off the coast of Japan... and I'm a competitor. You will all be given free passage there when the time comes, and I'm sure I'll be delighted to duel one of you eventually."
The five duelists in front of Pegasus almost shrugged in absolute union before turning about and heading out of the door. Upon this newfound privacy, Pegasus sat back down and reclined in his chair, lifting a glass of fruit juice upwards to his lips.
"Whatever will be, will be. Croquet?"
An aged man with blue hair in a suit, wearing sunglasses, stepped quietly into the room from where the duelists had exited.
"Yes, Master Pegasus?"
"Make sure plenty of flyers are distributed around Domino City. Also, make sure to add Yugi Motou and Joey Wheeler to the tournament roster. I wouldn't let them miss the so-called "Tournament of the Century"."
"Yes, sir."
"Mmmhmm... I look forward to this." Pegasus said quietly to himself, grabbing a nearby remote and lowering a large Plasma TV into the room with the press of a button, then turning it on. The telltale sound of cartoons flooded the room, and the laughter of Pegasus could be heard in the halls.

Mmhmm. Yup. That's just the prologue to give you an insight to those five duelists, and what's going to happen. It's pretty predictable and not very long, but it's just a prologue.
I need more random duelists...
