Ch. 2 – Mind over Matter
Uichi lay in his bed wondering what happened yesterday. "Perhaps you're the one we've been seeking." Those words were embedded into Uichi's head. "Why would Des say that?" thought Uichi. "What did I do that was so amazing? I mean it looked like he did all the amazing things. I'm going to find Des and find out what he was talking about." After a while of thinking, Uichi decided to start off searching at the Hobby Shop and told Toso to meet him there.
When Uichi entered the Hobby Shop, he started to look around for two people, Toso and, of course, Des. In the corner of the shop, he saw Toso at a table. Uichi approached the table and saw that Toso was dueling. Uichi put a hand on Toso's shoulder. Toso looked up as Uichi smiled.
"Hey Toso, how's the duel going?" asked Uichi.
Toso groaned. "Not so good. It turns out this guy is using a mono fire rush deck."
Uichi observed the table. Toso seemed to have two shields remaining while the red haired kid had four shields remaining. Toso had a La Ura Giga, Sky Guardian and a Frei, Vizier of Air on the field. The red haired kid appeared to have an Immortal Baron, Vorg, a Brawler Zyler, and a Mini Titan Gett on the field and he had just ended his turn.
"Hm, no Kaijudo in this duel. Let's find this Des guy. All we have to do is find the most powerful Kaijudo in this shop."
Uichi looked around instantly. "Who said that?"
"Who said what?" asked Toso.
"You mean you didn't hear that….oh, nothing," said Uichi.
No one else seemed to hear the voice at all. Uichi looked around and saw no one looking at him. Uichi had a confused look on his face, however, shook his head and focused back on looking for Des. The voice returned. It had a deep, solid, loud voice.
"The best thing to do since we can't find Des is duel someone. That should catch his attention if he's here."
Uichi now focused on where the voice was coming from.
"Could it be? No, it can't. I must be hearing things," Uichi said to himself.
However, Uichi did agree to the voice's advice and looked around for someone to duel. He saw at the right end of the shop, a man with blue, combed back hair, white skin, bright blue eyes, and a blue trench coat. Uichi smiled and approached the man's table. "Kettou Da," said Uichi. The man looked up at Uichi from looking at his deck and stared at Uichi as if he was examining him. He smiled and said "Yoshi."
"This is perfect." thought Uichi. "I bet this guy plays Corile and I could test my deck against it."
Both players deployed their five shields and drew their five cards.
"You can start. By the way, what's your name," said Uichi.
"Meru," said the man as he looked at his hand.
Meru charged a water mana, a Thrash Crawler. Uichi, at that moment, gave a puzzled look.
"Why would you run that?" asked Uichi.
Meru grinned as he signaled Uichi that he ended his turn. Uichi made a horrible mistake. Challenging Meru to a duel and now, Uichi will face the consequences.
