As X stepped off the arena he was getting ready to leave when the announcer called:
"Wait X, Bryce of the elite would like to give you this trophy."
He walked over to Bryce and looked at the trophy for a second then threw it into the stage smashing it to pieces, the audience seemed shocked X bent down and picked up something in the shattered ruins and went back to Bryce.
"This is a tracking device. Let me ask you how stupid do you think I am?"
He took 2 egg things from his belt and threw them on the ground creating a huge cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared X was gone. Stephanie was about to leave when something caught her eye, it was a rose with a note on it. She picked it up and read the note:
Dear Stephanie
Like I said incredible skill and one impressive deck
you do live up to your title, hope to duel you again someday.
Duelist X
She read over the note several times and quickly hid it when her girlfriends came to talk to her.
"Hey impressive duel up there." One said.
"Yeah, but was X hitting on you?" Another one asked
"I don't know." She said starting to blush.
X walked through the streets thinking to himself about what happened during the duel. He kind of liked that Stephanie girl but this popped a lot of questions: Did she like him back? How could he tell her about his life if she did like him? Would she still like after she found out about his life? And love means to rely on each other and X had never relied on any one in his life living on the street and all could he learn to trust another?
At the Domino Academy in Stephanie's room a similar set of questions were going through her mind: Did he like her at all? If he did how would she be able to see him? What is his real name? And could she love again, because just several months ago she had fallen for a boy and they had gotten really close and she discovered he was cheating on her and she was devastated?
The next day X was walking through the street when he noticed an article about himself so he bought the paper and started to read the page. It was just more opinions of him after his appearance, but one comment infuriated him.
I figured out how he wins, he's obviously a rich kid who can get any card he wants and can profile his opponents-one of the duel academy elite
He was so angry he shredded the paper up.
"Looks like X is going pay a visit to the Domino Academy."
"So you see students that's how the new duel disks work" Finished Bryce
Just then X appeared behind Bryce, all the students started to point and yell and right as Bryce turned around X grabbed him by his shirt collar and lifted him up.
"Bryce you slime, who said the quote in the paper, about me?"
"Uhh..uhh.." Said Bryce starting to panic, he knew, he said the quote, but he panicked
"WELL?"
"It was Stephanie, Stephanie!" He said pointing to the other side of the room where she was.
X threw down Bryce and turned to Stephanie.
"You, I challenge you to a duel and if I win you'll take back that quote." X
Normally Stephanie would have tried to defend herself, but she saw X was to angry to try to talk to so she agreed to the duel.
"Duel" he said.
Stephanie 4000
Duelist X 4000
"First I summon Goblin Attack Force (def 0 atk 2300) in attack mode and end my turn." X
"I summon a monster in facedown defense position and end my turn." Stephanie
"I draw and summon Blade Knight (def 1000 atk 1600) in attack mode and activate Tribute To The Doom to destroy your only monster and will attack you directly finally I activate Stop Defense which puts my goblins back in attack." X
Stephanie 100
Duelist X 4000
"Incredible, it's only been 2 turns and he's almost destroyed her." Said someone in the crowd, but Bryce heard this and got an idea.
"Hey 'Rich Boy' guess you got another win hu?" Bryce yelled
And that was the straw that broke the camel's back
"I am so SICK of everyone thinking that (turns to Stephanie) You want to know about my life? Fine I'll tell you: I don't live in a house or an apartment I live in an alley! I don't sleep in a bed or a couch I sleep in a box! I don't eat at a gourmet restaurant or at a McDonald I eat what 20$ can get you and that's for the entire week! (Start to cry) I'm homeless, friendless, no family and only a deck to my name! Every nigh is a fight for survival to not get beat, raped, or killed!" He fell to his hands and knees crying.
Stephanie pressed a couple buttons on the duel disk and the holograms disappeared from the field she stared at X for a minute then she heard:
"I always knew he needed help."
This comment angered her she turned to that person and said:
"You're right (walks over to X) but not that kind of help (holds her hand out and helps X up) he needs the help of a friend."
"Thank you." Said X
There was whispering on the crowd.
"You know I think you wear that mask to hide your anger and fear."
X finished it
"But now that I have a friend I guess I don't need it."
X removed his mask to reveal his face: he had yellowish-brown hair and hazel eyes. Many were interested to finally see his face.
"So what's your real name?" Stephanie asked
"James, James Markowski." James replied
"Wait, I thought you had no family."
"I don't but the first word I ever herd in life was 'Markowski' so I took that as my last name and after reading a lot of books I found out 'James' is a common name so I took it as my first." James explained
"Cool. So James how would you like to join the academy? " Stephanie asked
"Hot dog!" Said James
Stephanie turned to look at the principal who had come to see the demonstration of the new duel disk and he nodded.
"Well James Markowski welcome to Domino Academy." Said Stephanie
The crowd of students lit up in a cheer.
"And the winner is James Markowski from Domino Academy!" The judge yelled a week later at the Nation Wide Duel Academy Representation Tournament. A crowd a Domino students leapt from their seats and ran to James practically mobbing him out of happiness. Somehow he found Stephanie, they looked into each other's eyes and then embraced in a loving kiss.
We leave that picture and zoom out to see the janitor watching he turns and once again it's the narrator.
"So from sea urchin to king of the sea, what did I tell you? Well this is where James Murkowski's tale ends or does it? Any way for 'American Justice' I'm Dom (Opps wrong ending). Thanks for reading folks.
