Note: Sorry the update for this story took so long, quick question how many of you want this to be a TT/Yugi crossover? Or would you rather it just be Yu-Gi-Oh? Whatever you choose is fine, either way I have both stories worked out, it's just a matter of you my readers deciding is all.
Disclaimer: I own what's mine.
Ch.2 A Fossil Or Something More?
Rex quietly wandered around the neighborhood he was in, crossing streets, entering alleys, doing whatever he could to blow off anger. Every time he thought about that faithful day in Duelist Kingdom he grew sick to his stomach. But no matter how hard he tried to clear his mind of this, all he could think about was one thing-vengeance. Vengeance to Joey for making a fool of him, and vengeance to Yugi Moto the so-called King of Games.
Rex walked up a small hill and leaned up against a tree at the top, grumbling Rex slid his body down on the smooth trunk and took a seat on the smooth grass, at the spot he was in he could see the city of Tokyo in the distance. The view was mythical but it didn't distract the hateful thoughts in Rex's mind. Rex silently embraced his knees and stared blindly up into the sky,
"One day I will be master again!" He said aloud, "And Yugi, Joey, Mai, anyone else who humiliated me in the past will be sorry!"
"Excuse me," A soft voice came from nowhere.
Startled Rex turned to see a youth leaning up against the tree trunk with him, Rex quickly regained his coolness.
"Yes?" He responded mildly.
"You are Rex Raptor correct?" The youth asked, Rex nodded.
Smiling the youth emerged from shadows, he was about eighteen with spiky gray hair, he was dressed in a black jacket with what looked like a tribal symbol on it, his pants were just as dark as his jacket, complete with multiple pockets. A golden chain with a raptor claw hung loosely from his neck.
"Do I know you?" Rex asked, trying to remember his face.
The youth shook his head, "No you don't, but I know you."
Silently he took a seat by Rex, "You are Rex Raptor, the dinosaur duelist. Names Quetzal." He said holding out his hand.
Out of reaction Rex took it, Rex couldn't help but notice the youth's eyes, they were a combination of bright yellow and blood red, giving them a hypnotizing effect when you looked into them. Rex released his hand from Quetzals after a few seconds.
"Okay interesting name." Rex concluded silently, it was strange to hear someone named after an Aztec god; Rex pondered whether or not he was in some kind of joke. But the honest look on Quetzal's face proved otherwise.
"So what brings you here?" Rex asked, "Come to challenge me to a duel?"
Quetzal laughed softly, "Duel you? Would never dream of it!" He exclaimed.
"Oh then what are you here for?" Rex continued, "My autograph?"
Quetzal remained in good spirits, "I've heard all about your problem." He said softly.
"And what would that be?" Rex asked sarcastically.
"Come now don't be like that," Quetzal responded, "I'm here to help you."
"Help me? How?" Rex asked with growing interest.
"What if I told you I have something that would make your dueling skills have no equal?" Quetzal asked.
"Your kidding right?" Rex added, "What do you have a magical crystal ball to where I can look into peoples minds and see what they're going to do while playing?"
"Better." Quetzal replied with a smirk, it took Rex a while to realize that he had something under his arm, Quetzal quickly set the object down in front of Rex.
"You may find this of use." He concluded.
Rex examined the object and turned to him, "Is this some kind of a joke, your giving me a box!" He growled.
What Quetzal had set down before him was a weathered beaten, dirt colored, chest of some sort, ancient scriptures decorated the sides. But did nothing to make the container any more glamorous, although Rex noted that there was a skull of a dinosaur like creature attached to the top. Rex assumed it worked like a handle.
"Not a box." Quetzal explained waving his finger, he silently removed the lid of the chest, and reached inside, when his hand came back out Rex's eyes widened in disbelief.
What Quetzal was holding was a beautiful platinum colored medallion with a crescent cobalt half moon diamond in the center. The diamond was held in place by a T-rex skull on one side, while on the other a ravenous Saber Tooth Cat held it with its claws. Quetzal draped the object in front of a mystified Rex.
"Legend has it that this is was an object of great power," Quetzal explained, "he who wears it controls the evolution chain of creatures, but sadly only the chosen one may use it to its fullest."
Rex stared stupefied at the medallion and then at Quetzal, "Do really expect me to believe that!" Rex chuckled, "Aw man! At first I thought you were crazy but now I know that you're insane!"
"You don't believe me?" Quetzal asked sounding a little hurt.
Realizing his error Rex stopped chuckling, "You don't really believe in this do you?" He asked.
Seeing that he had hurt Quetzal Rex silently took the object from his hands, the medallion had spiny edges projecting out of it. Rex had a heck of a time trying to move the spines backwards so they wouldn't pierce his skin. Rex saw Quetzals smile widen when he saw him put on the necklace. The diamond fell limply on his chest when Rex finally slipped the medallion on.
The sparkling diamond entranced Rex; he took a closer look at it and swore that he could see what resembled encased steam inside of its clear surface. Rex could see Quetzals reflection off its spotless blue surface, Quetzal was smiling warmly.
"Hmmm perhaps I've made a new friend." Rex thought, not taking his eyes off of the diamond.
He examined the swirling mist inside of it; Rex could almost swear he saw something moving inside of it. The forms were grotesque and Rex couldn't make them out. Rex looked back up to the spot where Quetzal was.
"Hey what's" Rex looked around blindly Quetzal was nowhere to be seen; the chest was in his place, with the lid attached once more.
Shrugging his shoulders Rex scooped up the chest and put it under his arm. He surveyed the distance for any sigh of Quetzal,
"He just vanished," Rex, reflected, "how bizarre."
Rex checked his watch, it was close to seven and day was fading to night. The sky was turning ink black and dull stars appeared in the horizon. Rex quietly began walking down the hill he was at. Strangely Rex felt more a sense of confidence come over him, it was odd he didn't feel that way a moment ago. What was even more strange was the fact that Yugi was no longer in his thoughts.
"Maybe there is something to this amulet thing after all!" Rex thought happily.
Rex tucked the amulet under his shirt and began whistling on his way down to civilization. Strangely Rex heard an unearthly growl echoing in his mind, thinking that he was merely tired Rex shook his head in annoyance. The growls only got louder.
