Chapter 3-The tournament begins. Shadow vs. Weevil
Disclaimer-I don't own Yugioh
Note to readers: I will refer to Yugi as Yuki from now on.
The next week went slowly. The group did not have school, so they just hung out. Yuki, Atem, and Joey worked on their decks and strategies. When the day of the tournament finally arrived, the gang met at the game shop. Everyone was wearing their usual clothes, except for Yuki, who wore jeans and a white shirt with Kuriboh on it.
"Man, I've been waitin' for this tournament all week." Joey said excitedly on the way to the park where the duelists were meeting.
"We all have been Joe." Yuki said.
"Well, yeah, but I've been workin' on my deck all week." Joey said. When they finally arrived at the park, they saw a huge gathering of duelists. And they saw Kaiba on the platform in the middle. He then began to speak.
"Hello duelists. Welcome to the latest tournament sponsored by Kaiba Corp. All of you are here because you have proven yourselves to excel with the cards you use. This will be different than the Battle City tournament. You will not be collecting locator cards, but you will instead be dueling for points. In this first round, you will be trying to get 10 points. The first 16 duelists to do this and go to the building behind me will enter the second round. Tag team duels will be allowed, but only if all four duelists agree. No wagering of cards in this tournament. And, obviously, I will be participating. The duels will begin in 15 minutes. I suggest you all prepare with this time."
The gang all looked at each other when they noticed someone sitting on a bench by himself.
"Who is that?" Tea asked.
"Don't you losers know anything?" came a familiar voice.
"What do you want Rex?" Joey asked.
"Well, I came to see what you losers were up to, but now I get the chance to educate you. That duelist over there…" rex said, pointing to the boy who was wearing a black t-shirt, black jeans, and a long black coat. He also had black hair. "is called Shadow. At least, that's what other duelists call him. He has never told anyone his real name. He is also one of the best duelists in the world. I've heard he has so many decks, that no one has ever seen him use the same one twice. There is also a rumor that he has cards that no one else in the world has."
"How did he get them?" Tristan asked.
"Well, and remember, this is just a rumor, but I heard that he was supposed to be in the duelist kingdom tournament, but approached Pegasus with a challenge. He dueled Pegasus, and said that if he won, Pegasus would have to give him any cards he wanted. I'm not sure what the condition was if he lost, but I heard he won without even losing a single life point. So, Pegasus was forced to give him any cards he wanted. Of course, he was obviously not in that tournament. That's because he gave up his entry for the duel. But, in any case, I've also heard he has never lost a duel."
"Wow, those are quite some rumors. You know what I heard…" came an unknown voice from behind them. When Yuki and the others looked, they saw the boy Rex had been telling them about.
He then continued. "I heard that he doesn't like it when people talk about him."
"Oh yeah, well maybe you want to show me your skill." Came the voice of Weevil Underwood.
"Hm, Weevil? Well, I suppose I can spare five minutes and continue the pattern of you getting knocked out of competitions early." Shadow said. An announcement then came over the speakers.
"All duelists, you may now begin your duels." Shadow and Weevil looked at each other and readied their duel disks.
"Are you ready?" Weevil asked.
"Yeah, but then again, I'm not the one who should be worried." Shadow replied. Each of them started with 4000 life points.
"Since we each only have one point, I guess the loser is out." Weevil said, a little angry.
"Yeah, you will be." Shadow said.
"You can go first." Weevil said.
"Fine by me." Shadow replied and he drew his card. Yuki and the gang, along with Rex, had started watching the duel.
"Okay Weevil, I'll start by playing a monster in defense mode. That will end my turn." Shadow said.
"That was your big move? Ha ha. So much for the scary duelist. I'll make my move now." Weevil said as he drew his card. The entire time Shadow had a smirk on his face. "I'll summon my Flying Kamikiri #1 and have it attack your face down monster." Weevil said. The giant mantis flew towards the face down card and struck, revealing the Mine golem. "Who's laughing now Weevil?" Shadow asked as Weevils life points dropped to 3500. "I'll end my turn." The bug duelist said. Shadow drew another card and smiled. "I play a field spell. The minefield. Now, by discarding two cards from my hand, I can special summon two Mine Golems." He showed Weevil Gamma the magnet warrior and Alpha the magnet warrior. He then placed them in the graveyard and took two cards from his deck. And, to end my turn, I'll set two face down cards and end my turn." Shadow said, smiling.
"Fine then, its my turn." Weevil said as he drew a card.
"Not so fast. I'll use one of my face down cards. It's called Rock Bombardment. All I have to do is discard a rock monster from my deck, and you lose 500 life points." Weevil's life points dropped to 3000. "Oh, and that's not all. My other face down card is Minefield Eruption. Now, I can do 1000 points of damage to your life points for each mine golem on my side of the field. And all I have to do is send the golems to the graveyard." Shadow said this as Weevil's life points dropped to 0.
"Well, looks like I have two points now." Shadow said.
"Wow, that was really quick…" Rex said.
"Shut up Rex!" Weevil yelled.
Looks like we have some competition. Yuki, Joey and Atem thought. Just then, a familiar voice was heard.
"Hey guys." Came Mai's voice.
"Mai Valentine…" Rex said.
To be continued.
Next time: Mai vs. Rex. The rematch.
