Heart of The Cards EX
Info about my lil' fan fiction:
This is my first (and probably last) fan fiction. I've decided to base it from my favorite anime, Yu-Gi-Oh! Go ahead and laugh! What many people don't realize is that Yu-Gi-Oh! isn't just "another Pokemon". So, for all the Yu-Gi-Oh! haters out there: DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER! Anyhoo, I haven't really planned out a story, but time will say different. The chars are actually based off my friends and family. Please give me some feedback, positive or negative. ONE note though: feedback about the FAN FICTION! NOT YU-GI-OH! But, you are more than welcome to judge the duels. And for anyone who wants to sue me, Yu-Gi-Oh! is © by Kazuki Takahashi and the card game is © by Konami. I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! and I am not its creator, so "HA!" on you! Thank you:D
Author's Note: After defeating the Rare Hunter, Alex is left puzzled by the "Master" he mentioned. Maybe other people have something to do with this as well…also, I realize that this has NO ACTION WHATSOEVER. Sorry for that. The next one will be short as well. From then on, the chapters will be longer. I promise!
Chapter Three: Clouds of Darkness
Setting: Outside Dueling Lodge
Officer: We'll make sure he doesn't steal anymore cards.
Alex: Thank you, Officer.
Police takes Rare Hunter to jail.
Kyo: What do you think he meant when he said that your pendant had some kind of "power"?
Alex: Not sure.
Ryo: Looking through the cards Horus, Pot of Greed, and Covering Fire…
Daisuke: Do you think that other Rare Hunters will try to attack Alex again?
Kyo: Not sure. This "Master" figure the Rare Hunter mentioned might try to hunt Alex down.
Ryo: Not that that'll happen anytime soon. With us around, those Rare Hunter dudes don't stand a chance, right Alex?
Alex: Right!
Next day at Domino High…
Alex: Hmm…
Sakura Ishida: What's on your mind, Alex?
Narrator: Sakura Ishida is Alex's sister. She is seventeen years old and is currently enrolled in the same school as Alex, except she is now a senior. She is one of the very few active female duelists. An unavoidable fact about her is that she has a major crush on Joey Wheeler. She becomes nervous and giggly whenever he's around. She wants to work at Industrial Illusions when she graduates high school, so she can design the art on the cards.
Alex: Oh, it's nothing.
Sakura: You can't keep secrets from me! Tell me what's wrong.
Joey Wheeler is seen from a distance.
Sakura: Eep!
Alex: What?
Sakura: It's Joey!
Hides behind Alex.
Alex: Ugh. Again with this? Can't you just tell him how you feel about him?
Sakura: NO! ARE YOU INSANE?
Alex: I'm not the one hiding from him, now am I?
Sakura: Shut up!
Joey approaches Sakura and Alex.
Joey Wheeler: Hey Alex!
Alex: Hey Joey. What's up?
Sakura: H-hi…J-Joey…!
Joey: Hey Sakura.
Sakura: HE ACTUALLY SAID HI!
Sakura drools uncontrollably…
Joey: Um…is she gonna be okay?
Alex: Yeah…hey, are you ready for this weekend's Regional Tournament?
Joey: Of course! I'mma beat anyone who messes with Joey Wheeler!
Does Classic Joey Pose!
Sakura swoons.
Alex stares at Joey and blinks a few times…
Alex: Uh, yeah. Is Yugi going to attend?
Joey: I think so; I haven't heard a thing from him yet.
Alex: I hope he goes, so I can duel him.
Joey: Dueling Yugi is no easy thing to do. His skills can't be matched! He is the King of Games!
Alex: That title means nothing if he doesn't duel whenever he can.
Joey: Eh, I guess ya gotta point there…
School Bell rings.
Joey: Well, gotta get to class. See ya at the tournament, Alex!
Alex: I look forward to it, Joey!
Sakura is lying in a puddle of her own drool…
Alex: Ugh…
Setting: Warehouse
Servant #1: My Lord, the Rare Hunter we sent to retrieve the pendant has failed…
Servant #2: The police have him in their custody.
: No matter, I did not believe it would be that simple. We shall strike again on Saturday. Turns his attention to Servant #1 Have you found the location of the Dark pendant?
Servant #1: No, Sir. But we're on it. He is very difficult to track.
: Soon, I shall have all that I need to open the gates…Turns attention to Servant #2 Get the 6 Elites ready. One way or another, I'll get what I deserve...
Setting: City entrance of Domino
Shugo Ryozoku: So, this is where Alex lives…
Narrator: Shugo Ryozoku is one of the most elite duelists in Japan. He has been playing Duel Monsters since it first started, and he has defeated countless duelists in the past. Little information is known about him, since he mostly keeps to himself. What is interesting about him is that he has the exact same pendant around his neck as Alex's. The only difference is that his is pitch black. Maybe he and Alex will cross paths...
Pendant glows a dim black
Setting: Alex's Home, outside
Alex sees a letter for him in the mailbox
Alex: Hmm? What's this?
Sender: Yahiko Sagara
Alex: Yahiko?
Setting: Alex's Home, room
Reads letter
Dear Alex,
How have you been? I hope you've gotten better in Duel Monsters. I'm going to be attending Domino's Regional Tournament. I hope to see you there!
Yahiko Sagara
Alex: Well, at least I'll have some competition for the tournament.
Setting: Streets of Japan
Yahiko Sagara: There must be a way to defeat Alex…I'll find a way…
Narrator: Yahiko Sagara is a duelist who knows no mercy for his opponents. He has just turned seventeen, but as he gets older, he becomes more involved into the game. He has many acquaintances at Domino High. He is very sincere for others, but he does have a tough side. He and Alex hang out every once and a while to play DM. They always push each other to their limits and won't accept anything but their best. He is a dependable person to talk to when needed.
Setting: Daisuke's Home, living room
Daisuke: What should I add into my deck?
Kyo: Maybe this could help whenever a Spell card is played…
Ryo: How much do you think I can sell these Horus cards for?
Setting: Dueling Lodge
Zero: Well, well, what have we here? A Regional Tournament? I'm so there! It's about time someone put Alex in his place!
Narrator: "Zero" is also one of Alex friends. He is an experienced duelist, but can't really seem to build up a reputation. He has a great deck, but he isn't as focused as many duelists. This may be the reason he has lost some interest in the game. But, after much time and deliberation, he claims to have become good enough to beat Alex badly in a duel. Only time will tell...
Setting: Alex's Home; nightime
Alex: I wonder who is going to attend tomorrow's tournament…I know the gang will be there, and I know that Yahiko will be there as well. I still wonder if Shugo I going to be there, as well as Zero. I hope no more Rare Hunters appear. I have to stop thinking! I just have to be prepared for tomorrow! I need sleep…
