Usami was the first to notice the man walking towards the group. Quickly she pushed her way between the group and Tal who was just walking slowly towards them.
"Tal." Reku, Ronin, Sachiko, and Akina muttered under their voice.
"What do you want?" Usami yelled out to the man. He stopped a few feet away from her and grabbed his robe. In one swift jerk the entire robe was ripped off reveling the buff man underneath. Wearing a dark green tank top and army style hair cut of black hair. Black colored pants and army style boots.
"To duel. You first girl." Tal said as his blue duel disk hummed to life and snapped into place.
Tal's model was different though, the pad were the monsters went had no markings of card placers. Instead it folded open to reveal a flat table pad. Little boxes were still there for the magic and trap and above that were the slots for the monsters. His life point bar rotated clockwise and that whole top part there opened. Tal inserted his deck into the new area and it closed and latched. The life point counter beep as it reset.
"Fine then." Usami's duel disk locked into place and she slide her deck into the slot. "So, what is with the custom model."
"Nothing really, I just made this duel disk just to be different. You know, because I am a far different duelist then the rest of you chums."

"Then ladies first." Looking at the five cards in her hand she drew a sixth card and stared at it. "I summon Sapphire Dragon (1900/1600) in attack mode." The large blue dragon monster roared on the field. It had chunkier looking skin and a mean look on it's face. "Next comes my magic card, Dragon Sacred Blast Summoning! By destroying Sapphire dragon I get to summon from my deck Emerald Dragon (2400/1400)." The large green dragon took the place of the blue one. It was much bigger but a lot more elegant. "Now I am done. Make your first move."
Tal just grinned, he had not even drawn his first hand of five. He moved to a senor and placed his finger on it. Immediately the duel disk shot out five cards from a little rectangular hole where the deck slot should have been. Pressing on the sensor again a sixth card came out.
"Nice try, but you wasted you cards, I control the power of what are known as Zero Monsters."
"Zero monsters?" Ronin was taken a back. "What you do, rip that name off of use?"
"You wish. You would be the one who has ripped the name off. Although there are 20 Zero monster, I own the only set in the world."
"And how did you get them?" Usami asked from her side of the field.
"I once worked for Mr. Pegasus. Well the company was going under a bit when the newly titled King of Games defeated Pegasus at Duelist Kingdom. I was the one who worked late at night and long weekendsto get the company back up to par with the world. For that, Pegasus allowed me the power to create a deck of cards I thought of. My deck owns cards no one in the world has. I spent long night coming up with the design of each card perfectly and each effect."
"Nice." Gurabe nodded showing his approval. Ronin glared at him with unaproving eyes.
"Now for the first Zero Monster, Warrior, I play Zero Monster Alforce (0/0)." A monster in a red and blue jump suit that covered it's entire body, even its face, appeared. On its arms were Gauntlets.
"Warrior?" Usami asked. "You said there were 20 zero monsters. One for each sub type of monster!"
"Got that right. Now Alforce, attack!"
"But it is weaker...by far."
"Special ability, It destroys any monster that I attack with him." The warrior monster charged across the field until it got to the large dragon. Then in one swift motion, jumped into the air and punched the dragon in the nose. The dragon recoiled and smashed against the ground. It slowly broke up into small data chunks. "A few more things you might find interesting." Tal smirked as he held up the Zero monster from his disk. One look and Usami noticed something was wrong with it.
"What is wrong with your monster?" She asked trying to find what was off, then it hit her. "There is no star level!"
"Right, I made them without star levels. They are a true different breed of monster. In fact my entire deck breaks the boundries ofthe game." Tal smirked and moved and card towards his disk. "I set one card face down and end my turn."
Usami looked at her deck. "I can do this. This guy has got nothing on me." She slowly drew her card. "I summon Masked Dragon (1400/1100) in attack mode!" The red and white dragon monster appeared on Usami's field. "Attack that monster now!" With a small ball of fire the monster shot it in a stream of fire that flew across the field towards the jump-suited creature.
"Okay, but my down trap is called Zeroing it all Out. I will take no damage to my Life points if a monster with zero attack is destroyed." The monster was blown apart in the ferocious blast but Tal remained unharmed. Suddenly on his field the Gauntlets that were on Alforce appeared right in front of Tal.
"What is going on here?" Usami demanded to know as Tal just smirked and laughed.
"Each Zero Monster is equipped with a power. When a zero monster is destroyed that power lets me play, from anywhere, the equipment magic card that goes with that power. Alforce was destroyed so I get to bring Alforce Gauntlets to the field. They can equip to any other Zero Monster and give that monster Alforce's ability."
"Darn it. Fine I set one card and end my turn." The brown backed card appeared in front of Usami.
Tal pushed the sensor again and his disk spat out the next card. "This one should go over well with a certain audience member. I summon Zero Monster Walking Dead (0/0). The zombie Zero Monster." A large mummy type of monster appeared in front of Tal. It moved slowly and moaned just like a typical zombie. "Now I end my turn."
"Wait," Usami held up her hand and pointed to the Gauntlets. "Shouldn't those have been destroyed since they aren't equipped to anything?"
"Good guess but no. These are special equipment cards called zero equipmentsthat can remain on my field until I chose to equip them. Do you not see, my deck breaks all the boundaries your cards must still follow. Hate to say I told you so."
"Cheap." Usami narrowed her eyes and drew her top card. "I summon Lord of Dragons (1200/1100) and play my Flute of Summoning Dragons." Her face down card flipped up to reveal the flute. The human monster dressed up grabbed the flute and blew into it. Suddenly two white orbs appeared on the field. They started to take the form of monsters. "First I summon Divine Dragon Ragnarok (1500/1000)." The long serpent dragon monster roared into being. It encircled itself around Usami and roared at Tal. "My second is Hyozanryu (2100/2800) in defense mode." The diamond like dragon roared onto the field and crouched down to show a defensive position.
"Okay, are you done yet?" Tal asked, not impressed by to growing army against him.
"Not by a long shot. I play my final card, Polymerization! I fuse Lord of D. and Divine Dragon Ragnarok to form King Dragun (2400/1100)." The long serpent dragon fused together with the human to form a weird demonish dragon man. Lord of D. fused with the top of the serpent and became it's head. The body color shifted from a purplish white to a brownish color. "Now what Tal? I have the power to destroy you!"
"Then use it." Tal said in his calm voice still.
"I will, King Dragun, Attack his Walking Dead!" The large monster flew across the field and punched the zombie monster who broke apart instantly. Suddenly a large string of mummy wrapping appeared on Tal's field.
"Walking dead dosn't give me damage when it's destroyed and I get to play Walking Dead Wrappings." Tal explain knowing his plans were coming together nicely.
"Fine, Masked Dragon attack with a direct blast!" The monster roared and shot out a stream of fire that engulfed Tal. He groaned as the fire rushed all around him.

"Well good move, my turn then. Draw!" Tal pushed on the sensor and a card popped out. "I summon Zero Monster Dragon Bain (0/0), The dragon of my deck. Next I equip him with both Alforce Gauntlets and Walking Dead Wrappings." A large green and silver dragon appeared on the field. It had a solid black underbelly and four sets of eyes. It walked on its two feet and had a set of fore claws that the Gauntlets attacked to. The wrappings wrapped themselves around the monster long tail.
"And his ability would be to?" Usami knew it was coming, so she might as well ask.
"I get to attack ever monster on the field with Dragon Bain. And as I have said, Alforce Gauntlets carry with them the ability of Zero Monster Alforce. Attack all of her monsters my beast!" The monster roared to life and shot out three consecutive fire balls towards Usami's three monsters. First King Dragun was engulfed, then Hyozanryu and finally Masked Dragon.
"When Masked Dragon is destroyed I summon Twin Headed Behemoth (1500/1200) to the field." A twin headed purple dragon monster appeared on Usami's field.
"Then I shall attack it too." Tal pointed to the monster and Dragon Bain shot out another fire ball the engulfed the monster destroying it. "That is my turn."
"Hold it, during your end phase I summon Twin Headed Behemoth back to the field (1000/1000) in attack mode." The monster reformed itself on her field. "Now I will draw, and sacrifice Twin Headed Behemoth for Different Dimension Dragon (1200/1500)." The teal covered dragon appeared in place of the purple twin head. "It cannot be destroyed in battle by a monster of 1900 attack or less so your plans have been squashed. Now attack his dragon!" Her monster let lose a rainbow colored beam of light that engulfed the dragon monster.
"Because of my Wrappings my life is still safe but now I think it is time to let lose some pain on you. First I get to play Dragon Bain Wings!" The long green scaly wings appeared on his field connected to nothing. "Now I draw. First and for most, I play Gather the Zero Magic card allows me to summon five Zero Monsters from my deck to the field."
His deck holder unlocked and opened. He reached in and grabbed his deck. Flipping it over his proceeded to thumb though it till he came to the cards he wanted.
"I summon Zero Monster Buzz (0/0), Insect. Next is Zero Monster Mage (0/0), Spellcaster. After that it is Zero Monster Cyborg (0/0), Machine, Zero Monster Lava (0/0), Pyro, and Zero Monster Death Serpent (0/0), Sea Serpent."
In front of Tal, respectively, a large bee monster that was colored solid brown and red appeared. It's wings buzzing at a incredulous pace. Next to him a man in a dark blue and black robe appeared. In his hand he held a long staff that at the end were a circle of claws holding onto a yellow orb. After that a small cylinder gray cyborg monster covered in buttons and lights of all colors appeared. A large blob of lava with two eyes and a mouth appeared after that and finally a long grayish blue serpent monster appeared.
"I have all I need to defeat you. First I play the magic card Zero Weapon Recycled. I get to bring back one zero equipment and place it on the field. I chose Alforce Gauntlets. I equip them and Dragon Bain Wings to Lava." The large wings attacked themselves to the back of the blob of Lava. Then the Gauntlets wedged themselves in the monsters sides where arms would be. "Then one more magic card, Zero Union. I destroy up to three Zero Monsters on my field to gain their equipments." Buzz, Cyborg, and Death Serpent fadded away leaving only Mage left. Then the equipment cards Buzz Eyes, Cyborg helmet, and Death Serpent Fangs appeared and attached to Mage. The fangs inside his mouth, the eyes over his own eyes and then the helmet fitted over his head.
"Um..." Usami knew that this was going to hurt, and hurt bad.
