Delicate Crystals
Chapter 1- Lost Sister and Burger World
It all happened that night. The night THEY came. The night my sister was taken. That night has haunted my dreams for years...its time to take back what was stolen...
"Brother!" cried a young girl being snatched through the window of a large, two floor house.
"Sister! Give her back you thugs!" cried a young boy.
"Sorry little dude. Master's orders. Gotta take this pretty, little thing to him".
"Noo!" yelled the little boy, as he ran towards the men with a pocket knife.
"Hmph!" a blonde haired man, with spiked hair said. The man quickly put his hand in front of the boy,
and a yellow aura came from the man's hand, as the boy immediately stopped dead in his tracks.
"Whats wrong? I cant move!"
"Heh, we'll be going now" the man said, as he and his blue haired partner jumped out the window, and onto two motorcycles in the driveway. The aura paralyzing the young boy faded, as the boy quickly ran to the window.
"Sister! I'll get you back! I promise!" the boy yelled to his sister. But she was asleep. The two men looked up at the boy, and they quickly drove off, out of sight.
10 years later...
"I play my Red-Eyes Black Dragon! I'll now equip it with Dragon Treasure. Enough power to wipe your monster out! Red-Eyes Black Dragon! Attack his Dragon Champion now!" a small 10 year-old boy cried. The boy was enjoying a popular game called "Duel Monsters". It was a game where you could summon monsters, cast spells, and set traps to disable and to destroy your opponent. Each person usually started off with 8000 Life Points, and the first one to hit 0 would usually lose. But of course, there were, at times...some exceptions.
"Well? What are you going to do now?" the young boy asked, obviously proud of the work his Red-Eyes Black Dragon had just done. The boy's opponent was a mysterious person, who had blue hair, tied into a ponytail, wore a deep black T-shirt, black leather jacket, and black jeans. The person seemed to be playing well, and stood with 2100 Life Points, as opposed to the boy's 1800 Life Points.
"I dont expect a young boy like yourself to understand the game as well as myself" the man suddenly
said. This creeped a few people out, as this man usually didnt speak unless he was pronouncing a move.
The man had pale skin, and seemed cold and heartless.
"Huh? What do you mean?" the boy asked, frightened now.
"You will never understand. You do not have what it takes. I see it in your soul. Now stand back,
because I'm about to end this little boy" the man said coldly.
"Ha! Yeah, right! You got no cards on the field, and you're down to your last 2100 Life Points! I've got this duel in the bag!" the boy nervously said, trying to sound confident and cool. The boy looked at his opponent's hand. He held four cards. Odds are if any of those cards could have stopped me before, he would have played them by now...I'll be fine, the boy thought to himself. Something didnt feel right to the boy though as he watched his opponent draw his fifth card.
"Boy, do you know of any monster that CAN NOT be stopped?" the man asked loud and coldly.
The young boy gulped as he said a small whisper that sounded like Exodia.
"You are correct!" the man yelled, as he held up all five pieces of Exodia's pieces to show to the boy. As the man begun to place the cards down on his field, the boy could have sworn he felt his heart stop, as his opponent begun to place the cards on the field. A large star appeared in the middle of the dueling ring, as a monster appeared from it, looking gold in color and chains coming from the wrists and ankles of its body. This monster was known as Exodia. A monster so powerful, that if all five limbs of the monster were in a player's hand, an instant victory could be achieved. The monster looked at the boy's Red-Eyes Black Dragon with a menacing look, as it grabbed the dragon around the body and squeezed it, till the hologram shattered. Exodia begun encasing his hands into a fist, which was now beginning to give off a deep, yellow aura.
"I cant lose! Not like this!" the boy yelled at the man, seeming to be on the verge of tears.
"Hmph" the man replied, looking at the boy with an evil smile. The man then raised his hand in front of him, as if commanding an army.
"Please, stop!" the boy yelled angrily, looking at his hand for something that could help.
"Take it like a man! Exodia! Obliterate!" the man commanded, and the monster took no hesitation either. It dove towards his opponent, blasting the kid with a yellow beam, causing his Life Points to go to 0. The smoke cleared slowly, and Exodia's hologram vanished from the ring.
"The winner of this duel is The Tormentor!" the judge yelled out, raising his right hand to the man's side.
"Hmm. As usual" a 16 year-old boy said to himself, overlooking the field. This man, Ryoshin or
Ryock as he was known through the dueling league, was a normal 16 year-old boy who played
Duel Monsters as well. He had dirty blonde hair which some of it covered his face, and wore a black
T-shirt, with a gold dragon imprinted on the front, blue jeans, and a red overshirt that also had
dragons on it. Ryoshin watched as the man known as "The Tormentor" was permitted to go on to
the next round of the tournament. The tournament was being held at a very well known place called
Kaiba Land. Owned by a very young person, known as Seto Kaiba, former world champion of Duel Monsters,
a tournament was being held in his amusement park. All prizes and money donations would be donated to
a nearby adoption center. The winner and 17 others from around the country would go on to compete in
the regional tournament to determine who will become the new regional champion.
"Hey Ryoshin!" a girl just a year younger than Ryoshin waved to get his attention, as she came running towards him.
"Ryock" Ryoshin said seriously.
"Ok, Ryyyyyock. I got some good news. I went to the shop and they did in fact have the cards you were looking for, just like you said" the girl said as she pulled three Duel Monsters cards out of her black purse and handed them to Ryoshin.
"Of course they did" he said as he took the cards from her hand, examining them closely. "Thanks. These will really help me come closer to winning. I may even be able to beat The Tormentor" he said, turning his back to her.
"You're always so serious. Hey, I know! How about we go get some lunch? That'll cheer ya up real quick, whaddaya say?" the girl asked sweetly, poking her head in front of Ryoshin.
"So, you wanna go on a date?" he asked, curiously.
"No, no, no, no! I just wanted to know if you wanted to get some lunch! Becides, you look pretty hungry to me!" she said quickly.
"I dont know Crystal, I was going to watch the next duel" he said, putting his cards into his deck box, and overlooking the field once again.
"But its not even a tournament duel" she said, slightly irritated.
"So? I might be able to learn from it, so I can prepare for the duels ahead" he said, looking at the two little kids get up onto the platforms to duel.
"Urrrggghhh" Crystal replied. Crystal was a cheery, cute, light blue haired, 15 year-old girl who had met Ryoshin just two years ago on a roller coaster. She tripped and fell into Ryoshin's lap, getting into the roller coaster, and the two got to know each other. She wore a yellow T-shirt, with blue shorts, reaching up to the top of her theigh. She wore red sneakers and always carried around a black purse, which she always joked about carrying a gun inside to her friends.
"What?" Ryoshin asked, slightly amused.
"I'm not letting you get away with this! You're going to come have lunch whether you like it or not!
Learn to live a little Ryo!" with that, she grabbed his left arm and dragged him out of Kaiba Land and
into the nearest fast food restaurant. Ryoshin, unpleased, but not surprised, was lead into Burger
World. They both got a table and sat down, awaiting a waiter.
"So when does your duel come up Ryo?" Crystal asked sweetly, resting her head on her hands.
"My duel will be tomorrow. But I'm going to need to practice all I can if I wanna win. Thats why I had you go get those cards for me. With those, I'm confident that my deck is complete" he said, sounding very professional and into his card game.
"Oh really?" she asked, curious to know whats going on.
"Yes. If I win this next duel, and assuming The Tormentor wins his next duel, I'll be facing him"
he said blankly.
"Oh? Do you think you can win?" she asked, hoping to get a yes out of him.
"Maybe. Those cards should help. His deck had a good strategy to it. Combining all types of cards.
But the deck he used almost lost to a 10 year-old boy, so he may not be much trouble at all" he
said, a small smile creeping onto his face.
"Well, thats good. I suppose I'd never stand a chance against any of you. My deck isnt all that great and I dont have as much experience as you" she said, smiling and sweatdropping. This girl was Ryoshin's only friend. But it was the only friend he needed. She always made his life alot more exciting and frequent than previously.
A waitress approached them, as she took out a notepad and a pen from behind her left ear.
"So what'll it be?" she asked, turning her face to her notepad, with her pen on the paper.
"I'll take a cheeseburger with a small order of fries please" she said politely, taking her head off her hands to look at the waitress.
"What about you sir?" the waitress asked a zoned out Ryoshin.
"Urggg" Crystal made silently, as she kicked him in the shin to get a reply from the daydreamer.
"BACON CHEESEBURGER!" he said loudly to the waitress.
"Ok, I heard ya! Jeez!" with that, she put away her pen and paper, and walked away into the kitchen.
Ryoshin sat there with a very confused look on his face and stared at Crystal with a dazed look. Ryoshin was never the type to be very active, so Crystal always tried to get him going with these types of things.
"Where did that come from?" Ryoshin asked Crystal.
"Who knows?" Crystal said happily, setting her head back on top of her hands.
