Chapter 7: the Guardian

Kai looked at Yami like he was nuts. "ME a card Guardian? I have no idea what a card Guardian is!" he practically screamed as everyone began to stare at him.

"The card guardian goes back to at least the Ancient Egyptian Times. He is gifted with a power that is unknown since it is different to every person. I heard that his gift is only acknowledged when the duel monsters are in danger. They also have the ability to control the Guardian Cards to their absolute potential. And besides from Rafael you are the only person who uses the guardian cards. Now-"

"you've gotta be kidding me I can't be that speacal I mean come on!" Kai stood up his palms slamming on the table "please Yugi I can't be the Card Guardian."

"Look Kai I know it may sound difficult to accept but its true." Yami said his eyes closed his hands folded. "Now please just accept what fate has handed you. There is another tournament rule I neglected to Meantion; Before the winner faces me he must face Lawrince!"

"Lawrince you mean the Tournament Host" Karri asked Yami nodded at her he then looked back at Kai.

"But I-" he said cutting off his sentence he then looked down at his deck and sighed "I don't know what to belive."

"Kai I know its hard to accept but please listen to me YOU must face lawrince!" Yami said looking at him he then puts Kai's hand on his deck "Belive in the Heart of the Cards and Yourself and finally Your Destiny to help you through this duel. Now if you excuse me I have to meet my friends soon." Yami stands up and walks to the door the rest follow him.

"HEY YUG!" a blonde kid calls out he wore a pair of jeans with a white t-shirt with blue rectangles on the sleeves and one goes around his chest area. He was followed by a brunette girl wearing a Red t-shirt with Golden letters that spell 'Hope' she wore a pair of Jean shorts. And at her side was a Brunette guy with a brown leather jacket and a yellow t-shirt with a pair of jeans on.

"Joey Tristan Tea" Yami said "I was starting to worry"

"Nah come on pal you know us better than d'at" Joey replied he then looked behind Yugi and pointed at the group behind him "Who are dey?" he asked

Yami turned around and looked at them "they are participants of this tournament. I was giving a little advise to a while back guys meet Kai,Karri and Adam."

"Pleased to meet you da name is Joey Wheeler" Joey said smiling holding out his hand Kai promptly shook it "any pal of Yugi's is a pal of mine"

"I'm Tea" the girl said she then walked up to Karri "I'm loving this outfit"

"Tristans the name cheering is my game" Tristan said smiling.

"Well I'll see you at the tournament tommorrow" Yugi said he turned and walked with Joey Tea and tristan.

(Later that night)

Kai sat on his bed sighing he was having the hardest time to get to sleep adam on the other hand was asleep. Kai sighed and then layed back he fell asleep and began to dream.

"Alright Grarl! Show them what your made of!" he shouted Grarl lept up and then slammed it's axe down on the little Kuriboh. Kai smiled then the area went white he looked around as his grandfather and great grandfather walked up to him.

"Kai you are the Guardian and-" They said in unison and then the message was blurred as the area went black then a pair of hands grabbed both of the elderly men. As Kai looked up he seen two red eyes they where focused on him. Suddenly a rush of flames shoot out at him.

Kai sat up breathing heavily sweat rolling down his face he looked at the clock it was 6:40 am he sighed and layed back "it was just a dream no it was more than that." He sat up and threw off his covers and grabbed his clothing and put it on he then slid his disk on and slid his deck into the disk. He walked over to the door and removed the locks and quietly opened the door and walked over to desk and then outside into the brisk air it felt like at least 61 degree's out.he walked strait to the Convention Center and then looked around he walked to the Arena he was dueling in and stood there he pulled out his deck and shuffled it a little. 'If I am the Guardian the please help me through this" he told himself over and over. He looked up and it was 7:30 his dueling time. He looked straight ahead and then David jumped up.

Kai-4000

David-4000

"Ready for a trouncing!" he said activating his disk Kai activated his and they each drew their hand.

Kai drew and then looked through his hand "I summon a monster face down and play three cards face down end turn!" he set one monster face down and then he plaied three cards face down he looked up

he said drawing the top card "I play witch of the black forest in def mode!" he called as a woman in robes appeared before him (1100/1200) "That should do it for now"

Kai drew and smiled "I flip up Arsenal Summoner to give my Guardian Grarl! Then I activate Tribute Doll from my hand to sacrifice him for Dark Magician then I play Different Demension Capsule! He poped his disk out and pulled one card out then put it in the slot once more he then looked up and pressed a button on the disk "now I activate Gravity Axe Grarl to combine it with my Dark Magician(3000/2100) now I summon Guardian Grarl! (2500/1000) and use my face down Tailor of the Fickle to combine him with his Axe once more! Since tribute doll says my Dark Magician Can't attack Grarl show him the power behind the Axe!" Grarl jumped up and sliced the witch appart David then grabbed a card from his deck.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING DAVID!" a voice called out

David looked to the side "Mr. Kaiba! I know what I'm doing!" drew and smiled evily "I use Snatch Steal on Grarl then I sacrifice him for Great Maju Garzett (6000/0) Now use Omega Sludge Bomb!" he pointed at the Dark Magician. His Mage Groaned as the bomb hit him he then melted in the sludge.

Kai-500

David-4000

Seto Kaiba smiled "Much better David. Even though I could outdo that move in a heartbeat" he said putting his pointer and middle finger to his forehead.

David smiled "Game over on my next turn!"

Kai drew and then smiled "I play pot of greed" he sighed and then closed his eyes as he drew both cards he then looked at them and smiled "I summon this monster face down and end my turn!"

David smiled once more "I summon Berserk Gorilla! (2000/0) now Garzette attack his face down monster!"

His monster growled and then threw the sludge once more this time a elven swordsman hit the sludge away!

"What?" was all that David could get out.

"My Obnoxious Celtic Guard! (1400/1200) he can't be destroied by monsters with over 1900 attack points!" Kai smiled he then drew "Now brace yourself for a whole new level of Duel monsters" he shouted as another card flew into his hand giving him three cards.
