Chapter 3:Duel! The invitation
"Gang way! Coming thru! Move it people!"
"Joey what up man!"
Joey was trying his best to get thru the people that seem to just come to block him to his sister. Tristan was trying his best trying to keep up while not knocking over anyone but Joey kept going and not showing any sign of slowing down.
"Come on Tea! We got to hurry to the Duel arena" Yugi yelled back to wear Tea was trying to keep up to Yugi.
"Im trying Yugi!" Tea cried out as she was trying not to lose site of Yugi but the people around her weren't making it easy for her
–At the Duel arena–
"LET'S DUEL!"
Serenity life points: 4000
Trent life points: 4000
Crowds soon come over as to watch the Duel that was about to begin. Ryou was one of the spectators and had his attention to Serenity. This was her first real duel against a real opponent and prayed that she would do fine. He couldn't help but study the features that Serenity had when she was down there. She had the same sprite as her brother whenever she duel with Yugi and Joey but with out the to 'high-confidence' that Joey seem to have.
"Like Brother like sister it seems" Ryou whisper to himself as he continue to watch from above.
"I think I'll be a nice guy and let you go first babe. Like they say, ladies first." Trent, who had the same smirk on his face, said sarcastically to Serenity while looking over the cards he had in his hand.
"Fine, but don't complin later on when I beat you sorry butt! Ha!" Serenity shot back as she drew her six card from her deck.
So far Serenity seem to have a good hand, she was holding to:
Mystical Elf (800/2000) (level:4 type: monster)
Gemini Elf (1900/900) (level: 4 type monster)
Magic Cylinder (type: Trap)
Dancing Fairy (1700/1000) (level: 4 type: monster effect)
Pot of greed (type: Normal Magic)
Silver bow and arrow (type: Magic equip)
'Hmmm, I have a good hand here so far but I got to be careful. Who knows what cards that jerk there has ready for me.'
So careful checking to see all her options before playing any card, Ryou told her that the best win is a strategic win. Almost losing her train of thought by the mention of Ryou, she shook it off and played her move.
"Alright! I'll start the duel with summoning 'Gemini Elf' (1900/900)in attack mode!"
And with that the twin's know as 'Gemini Elf' were brought to the field both battle ready for whatever was ahead of them. Hoping that this was a good way to start off, Serenity continued.
"I'll then place one faced down card and I'll end my turn there." Serenity said, satisfied with her move as the card appeared behind "Gemini Elf'. Hoping that Trent would fall for her trap 'Magic Cylinder', she just hope and pray for the best as it was now Trent's turn.
"Ha! That's all you got so far? No sweat for a guy like me!" Trent yelled out as her drew his six card and place it in his hand.
"Now! I'll bring out 'Zombyra the Dark' (2100/500) in attack mode! And I think I'll have him attack you little elf's there. Go 'Zombrya'! attack her 'Gemini Elf' with sky falling slash attack!"
As soon as the command was given, Trent creature jump high in to the air and came at a high speed towards Serenity's 'Gemini Elf'. It was now a time for her to act now.
"Hold it there Trent! I activate a trap card! Go 'Magic Cylinder'!" Serenity cried out as she activated her card quickly before her creature was attacked. Two large cylinders soon were brought out and the attack by 'Zombrya' was into one cylinder and out the other heading straight to Trent. He was soon contacted with the attack and was push back by it and the sound of life points could be heard as he regain to his feet.
Serenity life points: 4000
Trent life points: 1700
"Grrrr, lucky move there. Don't let it go to your head yet! This duel has only started! " Trent said as he was annoy by the people above saying 'Whoa check out that move she played' and 'I beat that guys is going to lose this one'
"I'll set two cards face down and end my turn there. Make your move!" Trent yelled out as he was tick of and ready for her.
"Told you not to complain since I went first there Trent. Ha!" Serenity playfully said with a grin on her face, happy to know that Trent wasn't so happy now.
"Now lets see here..."
Serenity drew a good card on that draw, it was a magic card called 'Change of Heart'. It was a card that was given to her by Ryou and she first told everyone about her starting to duel. Everyone else had given her a card as well. Yugi gave her the 'Gemini Elf", Tea gave her 'Magician of faith', Tristan gave her a trap card called 'Solomon Judgement', and Joey gave her 'Mystical Elf'. She like them all and thank them for the cards but she kept the 'Mystical Elf' and "Change of Heart' closer to her.
"Well its time to end this duel now Trent and I have just a card to do it!" Serenity said as she reveled that card she was about to play.
"I play the magic card knows as 'Change of Heart'! This card lets me control one of your monster's on your side and let me use them for what ever I want till the end of my turn and I'll use it on your 'Zombrya'!" Serenity explain out as she saw the look of horror on Trent's face.
Up above, Ryou watch as his favorite card was played on Serenity's turn. He couldn't help by smile to know that the card she use used to be his but gave it to Serenity to help her duel.
"Oh no! What ever shall I do!" Trent said in as if he was sacred of Serenity. "Oh wait I know what I'll do. I'll play this! A trap know as 'Magic Jammer'!"
With that, A magic circle was on the field and mist came up to Serenity's 'Change of Heart' and destroyed it before its effect could be played.
"See, by discarding one of my cards from my hand Im allowed to negate and destroy a magic card that my opponent plays. To bad." Trent said with a light chuckle liking how he acted with her.
Serenity just watch as one of the card's she cherished was soon destroyed into pieces in front of her. She felt as if someone took a stab to her heart and laughing to what they did.
'No...Not Ryou's card..'
She felt like just dropping to the ground as she could fell tears coming to her eyes. Up above, Ryou wince a little when he saw his favorite card destroyed but his attention soon was on Serenity. He notice the blank look on her face and was wondering what happen to her, as if her sprite was ripped apart from her.
"Hey you! You still alive there! Hurry up and make you move or did you give up already. Haha!" Trent spoke as he stood there with that same smirk on his face.
'Not his card...out of all the cards I have, why did it had to be his...'
Not hearing what Trent said, she was lost in thought of what happen to Ryou's card. She felt like just giving up until a familiar voice broke thru to her.
"Serenity!"
Looking up to find the voice, it was no other then Ryou above looking down at her. Feeling as if he was going to yell to her that she was a horrible person to let his card get destroyed, but it wasn't..
"Serenity! I know that you can still win! Don't let Trent words get the best of you! I know you can do it love! You can do it!"
"Ryou..."
Feeling her sprite coming back to her, she smile to him and soon was back in the duel.
"No Trent Im not giving up...And Im not going to lose to a creep like you! You may have got ride of magic card, but my sprite is still up thanks to someone up above!" Serenity spoke out as she look up to were Ryou was and gave him a smile and a wink as well.
Ryou notice it and blush a deep red by her action but return with a smile of his own to her. With that Serenity continue with her turn.
"Now then, I'll switch my 'Gemini Elf' (1900/900) from attack to defense mode and then I'll also summon 'Mystical Elf' (800/2000) in defense mode also!" Serenity cried out as she placed the card on the duel disk and branded up her creature.
Now she had two monster to protect her, her 'Gemini Elf' both of them in defense mode with there arms up and now a second card that she cherished, the 'Mystical Elf' who was on the field chanting away a spell while her body glowed as well.
"But im not down yet, I'll also play a magic card called 'Pot of Greed'! This magic card allows me to draw two more cards from my deck so lets see what I get."
Serenity drew her two cards, careful seeing now what cards she held in her hand. She was now holding four in her hands:
Dancing Fairy (1700/1000) (level: 4 type: monster effect)
Silver bow and arrow (type: Magic equip)
Negate Attack (type: trap)
WingWeaver (level:7 type: monster)
Looking over the two cards she had drew, she thought out of a way that she might be able to win after all. It might not work, but ti was better then nothing for her.
"I'll set one card face down and call it an end there Trent, go on" Serenity said as her faced down card had appeared behind her 'Mystical Elf'.
"Alright then! Time to make my move! Ha!" Trent yelled across as he drew his next card.
–Meanwhile-
"Almost there!"
""Hey Joey would you mind waiting for us at least!" Tea shouted across as they almost lost Joey to another crowd working there way closer to the duel arena.
"Don't worry Tea, were almost there so if we lose him well see him soon" Yugi said as he doge another person, making his way in and out of the crowd.
"Yeah, I hope that Serenity didn't lose to this creep you guys told us. How dare he say that about sweet Serenity like that!" Tristan said in and anger tone as he made it up to Joey.
After what seem forever with the endless flood of people, they finally made to the duel arena where they were greeted by tons of people, all looking ov the balcony as the action went on below.
"Great! We make it out of one crowd and into to another!" Joey heavily sign out as he try to make his way over to get a good view of his sister, despite not really knowing where she was.
"Hey isn't that Ryou over there?" Yugi said as he notice a figure with long white hair looking down the balcony.
"Hey it is Ryou! Lets see if he got a view of the duel!" Joey cried out as in no time he was push threw the people to make to his friend.
"Ryou! Hey Ryou!"
Ryou attention from Serenity was soon turn to the voice that was calling out his name and soon found out it was no other the Joey and the others making there way to him.
"Hey Joey, seems that you had a bit of a hard time getting to her" Ryou said as he smile to his friends making there way also to the edge of the balcony.
"Yeah well we would have been here soon if someone could of listen to use soon instead of going off to play his little game." Tea said in an annoyed tone when see meant someone she look right at Joey.
"Hey im sorry ok? Now then...Where's Serenity!" Joey said as he look down to find the location of his younger sister.
"She's right over there not to far from where we are." Ryou enlighten Joey and pointed in the direction on to where to look. He soon found her and with all he had left, took and deep breath and...
"Serenity!"
Serenity notice the voice in a heart beat and look up to where Ryou was and saw Joey and the others joining Ryou and watching her duel.
"Hey Joey! It's about time you got here!" Serenity shouted back as she gave him a playfully smile and waved to them all.
"Well we had a little trouble getting here! But we made it and now we can watch you duel! Go get him little sis'" Joey shouted as he smiled back and waved.
"Take that guy down Serenity!" Tristan added also waving his arms.
"Yeah! So that creep that he can't say those things and get away with them!" Tea shouted
"You can do it Serenity!" Yugi also yelled out.
Serenity sprite rose higher knowing that she has her brother and friends there to support here. She always felt stronger when she had people give her hope and telling her not to ever give up. With a heart full of faith and confidence, Serenity looked on to Trent and gave him a smirk of her own.
"Trent, even if you do win, and I guaranteed you won't, I'm always a winner because I have people who care about me and always there to give me the support I need! So lets go!" Serenity cried out, ready to whatever Trent had in store for her.
"Hmph! I don't need cheerleaders to give me confidence to win. I always know that im going to win! And now I'll show you!" Trent shouted back as he played his turn.
"Now! I'll start off by sacrificing my 'Zombyra the Dark' (2100/500) to bring out this bad boy! The powerful 'Summoned Skull'(2500/1200)in attack mode!"
With that, Trent slap down his card and soon lighting and flashes were going off in the arena as a clouds come up above Trent and soon the 'Summoned Skull' descended from a open whole from the dark clouds and made its way down to the field.
"Ha! With a high attack power I can easily get rid of you little defense there! So lets go! 'Summoned Skull'! Attack her 'Gemini Elf' with lighting strike attack!"
As the command was given to his monster, his 'Summoned Skull' conjured up bolts of lighting and unleashed them all heading towards Serenity's creature.
"Oh no! Serenity's 'Gemini Elf'!' Tea let out a shriek as the attack was coming closer with every second.
"Not so fast there Trent! Did you forget about my face down card there? " Serenity said as she grin to know that her plan was about to happen after all.
"I play my face down card! A trap knows as 'Negate Attack'!" Serenity cried out as the face down card was flipped open and reveled to all could see and went into action.
"With this trap card played I can negate the attack of you 'Summoned Skull'!"
Soon a swirling vortex appeared in from of Serenity's 'Gemini Elf' and was about to suck in the lighting bolts from Trent's'Summoned Skull' until...
"Sorry to burst you bubble there babe but I knew that you had a trap ready for me so I'll play my face down of my own! Go 'Trap Jammer'!" Trent yelled out as he activated his face down to take action.
"See this trap card lets me negate my opponent's trap card that they play in battle and destroys it. So say bye-bye to your little vortex there." Trent chuckled as soon the trap was played. Another magic circle smiler to his 'Magic Jammer' lit up on the ground and purple mist come from it and soon the vortex that was protecting Serenity's 'Gemini Elf' was soon vanish.
"No! My trap card!" Serenity shriek as she say here vortex soon disappear leaving her monster vulnerable to the oncoming attack.
"Serenity" Joey cried out as he watched her creature get hit by the attack and soon was destroy as an explosion went off followed by a puff of smoke. The others watch in grief to see her monster destroy and to see Trent with that trade mark smirk of his.
"Grrrrrrr! I'll kill him when I get my hands on him!" Joey yelled out as he was about to jumped down from the balcony to the arena below.
"Joey claim down! Don't get so worked up! She's not out yet!" Yugi said as he tried to claim his hot temper friend. Ryou and Tristan both had to grab his arms as Joey struggle against them both to free himself from there tight grip.
"Joey please claim down! Your sister is doing fine! Just believe she can do it! Plus it's a high jump from down there, you'll break both of your legs before you even have a chance with Trent." Ryou calmly said as to relax his friend. Joey soon started stop his struggle and they both let go of his arms.
"Your right, I shouldn't be acting like this. Joey calmly said. "This si my sister's first duel and I should be there to support her, it's what she always done for me."
"Were all here to support her Joey and I know that she'll do fine with her big brother here." Ryou cheerfully said as he gave his friend a smile to reassure him.
"Alright then! Go Serenity! You can win!" Joey yelled down, giving his sister all his support that he had.
Serenity turn and gave him smile and nod and turn her attention to the situation that she was in and focus back on the duel.
"I'm still in this game Trent and ready to take you down!"
"Let's see you can then babe." Trent snorted back as he ended his turn there and now it was Serenity turn.
'My plan seem to be down for now, all I can now do is to have faith in my deck and hope for the best. That's all I can do.'
"Here I go! Ha!" Serenity yelled out as she drew her next card.
She look over the card she had now had, it was the magic card 'Graceful Charity' and it came a good time indeed.
"I'll play the card I just drew called 'Graceful Charity'! It allows me to draw three cards from my deck and discard two from my hand!"
Serenity played her magic card and an angel appeared onto the field and emitted a ball of glowing light from her hands and shot it up where it broke into pieces and rain down onto the field. This allowed her to draw the three cards that she was allowed to.
As she drew her cards, she looked over them all carefully and discard two of them to the graveyard and add the rest to her hand. Now she was holding the following:
Dancing Fairy (1700/1000) (level: 4 type: monster effect)
Monster Reborn (type normal magic)
WingWeaver (2750/2400)(level:7 type: monster)
(-)Calling forth angel's (type: normal magic)
(-)Heaven's blessed blade (type: equip magic)
'Looks like my plan still be able to pull off'
"Ok then Trent, its time to end this duel here and now!"
"You told me that already and look what happen. Im still here and I don't think that im going anyway soon."
"Really? Well I let my cards show you that I do mean it this time." Serenity happily said as she saw Trent's face change when he saw her smile.
"W-w-what do you have plan there?" Trent stuttered as he knew Serenity was up to something.
"Instead of me explaining it to you, why don't I just show you! I play the magic card (-)'Calling forth Angel's'! Serenity cried out as the card appeared on her side and did its effect.
"What does that card do?" Trent asked, not knowing of its power's and soon a gate appeared next to Serenity.
"Well this magic card allows me to special summon a level four or lower fairy type monster from either from my hand, deck or graveyard. And I'll summon a creature form my deck knows as (-)'Rouge Angel fighter' in attack mode (1800/1500)!"
The gates that were next to her soon open and a beckon of light shoot out from it that blinded Trent for a bit and soon her (-)'Rouge Angel fighter' flew out and circle over Trent and made its way to Serenity side of the field.
"So you summon another creature, big deal. I still got my 'Summon Skull' here who's still the strongest on the field and ready to take out the angel of yours!" Trent yelled out as to his thought's was the Serenity made a mistake but his thought wasn't even close to right.
"I know that Trent but I didn't say I was done there" Serenity said with a smile on her face. "For you see, im going to sacrifice my (-)'Rouge Angel fighter'(1800/1500) and my 'Mystical Elf'(800/2000) so that I can bring out my creature, the one and only 'WingWeaver'(2750/2400) in attack mode!"
Serenity's two monster were soon glowing with light as they soon disappear above her and a flashing light broke out causing everyone who was watching the duel shutting there eyes to open them to she Serenity's creature floating down with all of her six wings spread across from her angelic body.
"Now who has the strongest creature Trent? Seem like it was me all along." Serenity playfully and sarcastically said as she had a grin on her face.
"YEAH! That's the way to play! Keep at him Serenity! Show him that your true duelist material!" Joey yelled out, excited to see his sister having control of the duel now.
"So what if you 'WingWeaver' is stronger then my 'Summon Skull'! Even if you do get ride of him I'll still be in the game!" Trent cried out as his smirk came onto his face but then quickly left as Serenity continued.
"I know that my creature can get ride of you monster so that's why I have these to help me out." Serenity said as she showed Trent the cards to help her. "First I'll play the magic card 'Monster Reborn' to bring back my 'Mystical Elf'(800/2000) back from the graveyard in attack mode!"
Light shined in front of here as soon her 'Mystical Elf' was brought back alive and chanting away with her spell.
"But im not even done with that Trent! I also play another magic card called (-)'Heaven's blessed Blade'!" Soon a pillar of light was shot down and a sword fell from the light and stab it's way to the ground and was glowing with power.
"See this magic card allows me to equip to a monster that is a attribute of light and my 'WingWeaver' fits the description very well. Don't you think so Trent?" Serenity grin as her angel grabbed the blessed sword and pick it up with light shining from it.
"Give my 'WingWeaver' a power boost of 1000 attack points, making her even stronger then she once was!"
And with that, her 'WingWeaver' body was also glowing with the sword as her attack points rose from 2750 to 3750. Trent watch in horror as the creature became way powerful then it was without the sword.
"Now to finish you once and for all. 'WingWeaver'! Attack his 'Summon Skull' with heaven's slash attack!" Serenity yelled out and soon her angel flew up above and came coming down with a slash of the sword cutting the 'Summon Skull into two and quickly explode and was left with a puff of smoke and life points drop for Trent.
Serenity life points: 4000
Trent life points: 450
"Serenity going to win!" Tea squealed out as she watch on to Serenity's next order.
"She got this duel in the bag now!" Tristan added
"Go for it Serenity!" Yugi also yelled out
"Go Serenity!" Ryou and Joey both yelled out at the same time.
"I told you that I wasn't going to lose to you Trent and if you don't believe me still then let me next attack be proof for you. Go 'Mystical Elf' (800/2000)! Attack Trent directly and end this duel right now with Ancient Elvan Magic attack!"
Her 'Mystical Elf' obeyed the order and conjured up a ball of bright white light and sent it hurling straight to Trent who took the full blast of the attack and was knock down and soon his life points reached to a dropping zero.
Serenity life points: 4000
Trent life points: 0
"She did it!" Joey, Yugi, Tea, and Tristan yelled when Serenity finally defeated Trent and soon the whole crowd where yelling and screaming to the duel they witness.
"Well done love, I knew you could do it.." Ryou silently whisper to himself as he watch Serenity look up to them and gave them a wink and a 'V' for victory with her finger's.
"So Trent, what do you have to say for yourself now?" Serenity ask as she made her way to the other side of the duel arena and offer a hand to help him up. Trent just stayed there for a few seconds with his eyes closed and soon a smirk cam to his face, Serenity thought that he was going to say something ruse like he did before but she didn't she heard a small laugh from him.
"What so funny Trent?" Serenity ask as to wonder what the teen boy was up to
"Hahahaha! That was the best duel that I ever had!" Trent yelled up as he took Serenity's hand and got up. This confused Serenity a lot and was about to speak but Trent continued.
"I take back all I said bout you Serenity, that was an awesome duel with you! You have all it takes to be a great duelist! Great Duel Serenity" Trent smiled and said and put his hand out to shake Serenity's
"Great duel with you to Trent." Serenity smile back and shook his hand and thanked him again.
"Hey let's all go down where Serenity is at" Yugi suggested when the duel had ended.
"Yeah! I got a piece of my mind I'd like to share with that guy!" Joey yelled out as he soon was off on his way to the bottom part of the arena.
"Oh boy, we better hurry before get's us kicked out of this place." Tea said with a sigh and the other's nodded and soon were of to stop a temper Joey before he cause trouble.
They were soon down on the bottom with Serenity and Trent coming out thru the exit. Seeing that all of her friends were coming Serenity gave them all a smile as the approached.
"Wow Serenity, that duel was great!"
"Thank you Yugi, I had lots of fun dueling and hope to do it again soon." Serenity giggled out and smiled at her friends
"Cant wait to see you duel again Serenity, your doing better and better." Tea added as she hugged her good friend.
"Thanks Tea, cant wait for the next one." Serenity said as she return the hug to her good friend.
"Yeah and will all be there to watch you." Tristan added, about to hug Serenity but was soon pushed over by Joey making his way to Trent.
"Say pal, I got's a word with you's so you better be ready!" Joey said in an anger tone and was about to go after the guy till Trent spoke up.
"I got something to say to you to. Your sister is an amazing duelist!." This completely caught Joey off guard as he fell to the ground.
"Say what?" Joey ask, now very confused.
"Yeah, she pulled of sweet moves and was able to beat me with no problem. She must have great help from you." Trent said with a smile, this made Joey blush a little.
"Well I might have taught her a few things and...Hey, hey! Wait a min here! Aren't you's the jerk who I heard that said some rude things to my sis here!" Joey said as his anger was back in him.
"Yes and I want to say that im very sorry for all that I said to your sister and your friends. Forgive me rudeness towards you all." Trent said as he bowed to them all.
"Umm...apologia accepted?" Joey said not knowing what to say.
"Well Serenity, look forward to our next duel and hope that it will be as great as the one we had." Trent said as he was about to leave.
"You to Trent, hope to duel you again." Serenity said as she smile at him before he was about to leave but he then turn around.
"Oh one more thing. Here ya go Serenity." Trent said as he handed Serenity a blue card with numbers on it.
"What's this for Trent?" Serenity ask not knowing what the card did.
"It's a points keeper that keeps track the wins and loses I take. For every win that I took points were added to this card and since I won all my duels with out any lost, my points double up." Trent said with a smirk. "Use them at the both were I rented the duel disk for you to you can get a rare card for a prize and with the points I got im sure you can get a sweet card." Trent said as he flashed a smile to her,
"You don't have to give me this Trent." Serenity said and was about to give it back till he spoke up again.
"A deal's a deal Serenity, you won and I told you if you win I would say sorry and give you my duel points. I always keep to my word, its what a duelist does" Trent happily said as he gave her a thumbs up.
"Thank's Trent" Serenity said as she smile back at him.
"Well im out of here, see you guys around. Maybe we should all hang out sometime. Later's" Trent said as he walk away and waved back as he left.
"He's not such a bad guy after all." Tea said as they watch him disappear into the crowd.
"Not all duelist are rude, they can become good friends at the end of a duel just like Trent." Ryou added.
"Yeah, so what you guys say we go over to that booth and get Serenity a rare card" Joey said as the other's agree and made there way to the both which wasn't that far off. All of them were off expect Ryou as he heard Serenity called out his name.
"Um..Ryou? Could you wait a second." Serenity nervously asked and Ryou nodded and turn his attention to Serenity.
"What is it love?" Ryou as kindly and was wondering what Serenity wanted to ask him.
"I just wanted to say thank you. For being there for me" Serenity said as a blush grew on her face and turn her face a bit to the side.
"You don't need to thank me Serenity, I'm always here for you no matter what." Ryou gently said and this made her blush even more then she was. Her face was soon upward and her honey colored eyes look straight into Ryou's chocolate brown eyes.
"Ryou...I..." Serenity was about to finish tell she heard her voice begin called out by no other then her brother Joey.
"Hey Serenity, are you's twp going to stand there all day or what?" Joey said as he made his way back to where Ryou and Serenity were still at.
"Oh sorry Joey, were coming. Right Ryou" Serenity said as her mind was back to normal as to what happen not seconds ago.
"Right love, let's go then." Ryou said and without warning, Serenity took Ryou hand into her as she lead him thru the crowd and to the booth not to far ahead. This made him blush but he didn't mind at all. Instead he squeezed her hand a little and was return with a small squeeze of her own.
They were soon at the booth with the others and Tea notice that Ryou and Serenity were holding hands and gave her friend a look and a grin to what she saw. Serenity notice it and so did Ryou as they wonder why she was giving them that look till it hit them that they were still holding hands. Looking up to one another the quickly let go before anyone else could see and both had deep crimson blushes on there faces.
"So what card are ya going to get sis'?" Joey asked not seeing Ryou holding his sister's had which was a good thing Ryou, he could just imagine him getting beaten to a pulp by Joey while him yelling at him not to ever do that again.
"Umm...Im not to sure, lets see hoe many points I have on this card from Trent."
Serenity made her way to the booth and handed the duel disk that she was given to use during the duel with Trent and an assistant took her card and ran it thru.
"Well it say's that you have 2050 points on this card." The assistant said as she handed back the card to Serenity.
"Wow, that's a lot of points that Trent had there." Yugi said over looking at the cards that Serenity had a choices at. "You can get almost any card you want."
"So what card ya want sis'?"
"Umm...well"
Serenity looked at all the cards that were offer to here, she didn't know which one to chose from till and idea had came to mind.
"Well I was wondering...Instead of me chose a card...I was wonder.." Serenity said while a blush crawled its way up to her face. " I was wondering...do you think you can chose for me Ryou..if you don't mind."
"Me Serenity?" Ryou asked as to what to think what he should say. "Are you sure Serenity?" The only respond he was given from her was a slight nod while she look down a bit.
"Ok then love, if you wish for me to do so." And with that, Ryou made his way to the counter over looking the cards that he had a chose from.
'Hmmm, I wonder what card I could get that can fit her well...'
Ryou over looked all the cards once more until he founds one that seem just perfect for Serenity to have and a smile came to his face.
'That one. That one os perfect for her to have.'
He then asked for the assistant to help him and handed over the card and asked for the card that had gotten his attention. The assistant came back to Ryou and handed him a plastic case that contain the card inside for it wouldn't be damage.
"I wonder what card Ryou chose for Serenity?" Yugi wonder as he watched his white-haired friend come back with the card in hand.
"Here you go Serenity, I hope you liked the chose I made for you." Ryou warm smile as he handed her the plastic case with the card. The others soon where behind here as to take a look at the card and were in awe with Ryou's chose, especially Serenity who had a deep blush on her face.
The card that Ryou chose was called 'Guardian Angel Joan' (2800/2000). It had a picture of a women who was beautifully dressed with glowing angel wings in the back and a lighten up sky in the background.
"Thank you so much Ryou, I love it." Serenity said as she smiled at the card that Ryou had given her.
"Your welcome love, im glad that you like it."
When her attention was on Ryou now, she was about to speak until a voice was heard coming towards them.
"Hey you! Are you the girl that was dueling not to long ago?"
They all turn around to see a tall man coming up to them asking if Serenity was the one dueling earlier. The man was wearing black jeans, a white shirt and a long black trench coat with sunglasses on top of his head.
"Um..yes. May I ask who you are?" Serenity ask as to wonder who this guy was.
"Oh forgive me to be rude. My name is Todd and I was watching your duel early with that guy and had to meat you and let me say that was a great duel young lady."
"Um..thank you."
"So what you want with my sis' mister?" Joey asked the Todd wanting to know what he wanted with Serenity.
"Well I wanted to know if she was duelist and if so has she ever enter a tournament before?"
"Yes I am a duelist and no I never really enter to any tournament. Im still a beginner." Serenity said as Todd continued.
"You should think about entering one and I know just the one you should go to." Todd said as he reached inside his trench coat and pulled out a flyer and handed it to Serenity.
" 'The Return of Battle City Tournament'?" Serenity read out wondering what it was but Todd explained.
"Ya see, I also forgot to mention that I work for the Kiba corporation and want you to know that mister Seto Kiba is throwing another Tournament together called 'The Return of Battle City' and I think that you should enter in it. With you talent im sure you can be the winner of it and have the title 'King of Games' or in this case the 'Queen of Games'." Todd chuckled.
"Another tournament that Kiba is putting together?" Yugi asked Todd as to want to know more about it.
"Yup, since the last tournament was so popular here he decided to throw another one but this time its world wide."
"World wide?" All of them said as to wonder what he meant by that.
"Yes, meaning that duelist from all over the world will be coming here to Domino to take part of it. It will be the biggest tournament ever!"
"Wow, duelist from all over the world. How exciting that sounds." Yugi said as to wanting to know more about it.
"And you think that im good enough for this?" Serenity asked puzzled by Todd's action. She was surprise that he would think that she was a great duelist let only enter it and win it all.
"Course you good enough Serenity, you should definitely enter it." Joey said as he placed his hand on his sister shoulder and grin at her. "This may be the perfect timing to put what I taught ya to the test."
"Will it be the same rules as the last 'Battle City tournament Todd?" Ryou asked also interested by this. Todd just smile and spoke out.
"Well lets just say yes and no." Todd said out as his grin increase.
"What ya mean yes and no? Huh Todd." Joey asked wanting to know what he meant by that.
"Well lets just say the rules are the same but a few twist thrown in to make it more exciting and fun for the duelist. I don't want to give all away so ya have to enter it if you want to know more on what I mean. The directions to where to sign up are on the back of the flyer I gave you. Hope that you take part of it Serenity, good luck to ya." And with that Todd left them and vanish into the crowd.
"Well lets get out of here and talk about this more outside. It's getting late and im kind of tired." Tea said as a yawn escaped her mouth.
"Ya lets get going." Joey added and they were all soon out of the arcade and out on the street making there way back to Yugi's home. While walking they all talk about the tournament and who might do it and all.
"So sis'. You think you want to take part of it?"
"Yeah, I think I would. This could be fun to do and would love to increase my dueling skill and learn more things about dueling." Serenity relied as she was looking over the flyer once more.
"So how else is going to enter it besides Serenity?" Tristan asked
"Well I think I'll pass on this one guys." Joey said as he stretched his arms out. "Reason cause I want to be able to see all of my sis' duel and take lost of picture of them." Joey playfully said as Serenity stuck out her tongue at him while the others laugh.
"What about you Yugi? Are you going to take part of it to?" Tea asked while see brushed strands of hair in the back of her ear.
"Well I would love to take part of it but I promise my grandpa I would help him with the shop during summer so that would take up most of my time."
"Well how about you then Ryou? Are you going to enter as well?" Tea asked Ryou who had an unsure look on his face.
"I don't know, I mean I would enter bu ti don't know if im good enough to take part or it." Ryou said as he looked up to the night sky. "I might get knock out of the tournament and might be the first one to."
"You should enter it Ryou." Ryou attention was then down as he say Serenity looking up to him.
"It would make me feel better if someone I knew was also taking part of it." Serenity said. "Beside...I would be comfortable knowing that it would be you there as well."
"I don't know Serenity.."
"Please Ryou..for me?" Serenity honey colored eyes look up with a plea to Ryou asking him to do this for her. He knew from the moment he stared into her eyes he couldn't say no to her. It was like saying no to an Angel in need and that was something he couldn't ever do.
"Alright then love, I'll do it." Ryou genlty said as he gave her a warm smile.
"Oh thank you Ryou! That mean slot to me!" Serenity cried out and gave Ryou a hug that was not expect to him. A blush came to his face and he found his arms soon wrapped around her waist holding her close to him.
"Anything for you love.."
The stayed like seem for like hours for only a few seconds till a voice was heard.
"Hey Ryou! Ya mind letting go of my sis'?"
Knowing who that was, Ryou quickly saw Joey there with his arms crossed and had one brow up and giving him look. Ryou quickly broke the embrace that they had one another in and was blushing a deep red realizing what he was doing as did Serenity as well.
They soon made it to Yugi's houses were they all said there goodnight's to one another and soon went there ways back to there homes to call it a day. Soon Joey and Serenity made it back to there apartment and Joey pulled out his key's from his pocket and unlocked the door and booth made there way in.
"Well im going to bed sis'. You should to since its late and all. It say's the tournament will start in three days so ya better get your rest so we can go and sign you up." Joey said as he let out a yawn and stretch out his arms.
"Ok Joey, do you think while were at it we can get my duel disk check out so it will work properly." Serenity asked as she took off her shoes and rubbed her feet form all the walking they did.
"Sure thing sis'. Will do that. Well im off then, night." Joey said as he made his way to his room and closed the door behind him to get some rest for the day ahead of them.
Serenity made her way to her room and changed out of her cloths and got into her PJ's and let out a yawn deciding that now was a good time to rest. She slipped under her covers and before closing her eyes had her finally thoughts before drifting into sleep.
'What a day that was today. Being catch by Ryou..Hanging out with him and having a good time...Dueling against my first real opponent and winning it to...Having Ryou there to support ne all the way along with the others...Getting an invitation to a tournament that im going to take part in...'
As she thought more of what happen, a deep blush and heat rasing to her cheek's could be felt as she remember more of what happen.
'Having Ryou chose a card for me and having it to be a perfect one to that...Holding his hand for a few seconds which felt like forever...Being next to him again on the way back...And hugging him for the first time and him holding me closer to him...'
She felt her heart beat increase with every thought of Ryou. She still didn't know why she felt this way every time he was near her or when she thought of it.
"Well tomorrow is a big day. Better get some sleep while I can.."
And with that, Serenity was soon in the land of dreams. Soundly sleep from the big day she had. Not knowing to her that the day that the Tournament starts will be the start of her own adventure and what lied ahead of her, it would be something that she would always look back and never forget.
