"How dare you take "The Great Tanaka Gundham" to a card store!?" Tanaka yelled as he followed me into a card store by the name of "Daily Gamers". "I should burn you in the greatest pits-"

"Enough." I said, swatting his coat, reviling that he had a Yu-Gi-Oh deck hidden away, shocking him. "I know you come here a lot, it was hard to find something for us to do together, I was thinking a feast but then I remembered that you're a breeder and like magic, so I looked around and found out that you liked this place from the owner who said that you spend a lot of your time here." I said, with Tanaka looking embarrassed. "So I entered us into a tournament." I said, with him crossing his arms.

"How dare-"

"Ya, how dare I not tell you that the grand prize is six thousand yen($55.76 American dollars)." I said, seeing him shut his mouth. "Good, now we both have to go up against six players each, the one with the most wins gets the prize and if there's a tie, then its an all out battle royal." I said, with him nodding. "Good, now if either of us wins, the money still goes to you, because I don't need it." I said, with him nodding.

"Dakota, I see you found Tanaka." The shop owner said as he walked over to us. "Well, looks like this is going to be fun." He said as he looked around. "The others are running a-"

"Ah, don't spoil it, let them show us." I said, with him nodding. "I'm entering with my Black Rose Deck." I said, looking at Tanaka. "And your entering with your Dark Magician the Dragon Knight deck right?" I asked, with Tanaka nodding.

"Good luck, I mean that, because there's some strong people here tonight." He said, before walking away. "Ok everyone lesson up!" He said, walking towards the chalk board. "The first matches are going be listed up here, this is a luck of the draw tournament. There will be six matches each, and the person with the most wins will win, if tied then it will be an all out battle royal with the ones who tied." He said as Tanaka and I took a seat next to each other. "The first matches will be Yurimaru against Ino, Dakota against Yugachi, and Tanaka against Sayaka." he read off with us nodding. Tanaka stood up and walked over to the person I think is Sayaka, while another person walked over to me.

"Dakota, right?" He asked, with me nodding. "I'm Yuuki, Yugachi." He said, sitting down in front of me.

"Feichko, Dakota." I said as I pulled out my deck box and started shuffling my cards as he did the same, with me spotting an odd-eyes monster on his deck box. 'He's running a odd-eyes deck, this will get tricky." I thought with a frown as I was running a simple deck, not really looking to win.

After shuffling, we cut the others deck and drew five cards, with me setting my hand down and letting him go first without looking at my hand. "Ok then, I'll start with terraforming, to add Sky Iris to my hand and activate it." He said as he placed the cards on the filed, with the first one going to the graveyard. "Next I'll set odd eyes pendulum dragon in the pendulum zone and activate his effect once I end my turn, to add another pendulum to my hand." He said as he placed odd eyes pendulum dragon face up on his extra deck and collected a card from his deck.

"Draw." I said as I drew a card. "I activate Black Garden, destroying your filed spell." I said as I placed my card down, and him removing his. "I'll summon Baobaboon then add a card to my hand, then place a card on the bottom or top of my deck, so I'll send a card to the bottom, and attack you for 1200 attack points against your 800, so you take 400 life points of damage." I said, with him nodding. "I set a card and end."

"Good run, but my turn. I place Timegazer Magician in the pen-"

"I use MST to destroy Timegazer." I said, shocking him.

"Fine, but I'm still setting Stargazer in my pendulum zone and end my turn." He said, with me nodding.

"I draw, and special summon Fallen Angel of Roses from my hand by returning Baobaboon to my hand, giving you a monster as well, next I'll summon Baobaboon and use his effect again, but I'll set this one on top of the deck." I said, placing the same card on top. "Next I'll attack you again for 1600 and 400 this time, killing the two monsters I gave you." I said, with him nodding again. "Now I end my turn." I said, with him drawing a card.

"I have to end, I'm just not getting anything." He said, narrowing his eyes.

"Ok, I draw, and I'll summon another Baobaboon, giving you another monster and activating his effect, where I will place it back on top of the deck and attack the monster I just gave you, dealing 400 to you, followed by 2400 and 1200, I end." I said, with him gritting his teeth.

"I draw." he said, drawing his card. "Fuck it, I end, all I have were Odd Eyes Fusion, Pot of Riches, Pendulum Storm, Gravity Dragon and Pendulum Impenetrable." He said, tossing his hand down. "My next three were, Sky Iris, Dragon Caller Magician and Performapal Skullcrobat Joker, the last two would have helped just a little." He said, leaning back into his chair.

"Dude, I'm running a weak deck." I said, showing my hand. "Two Lord Poisons and Blue Rose Dragon, with my next three being a third Lord Poison, Fallen Angel of Roses and Rose Tentacles, but hey, I'm just here for fun, not to win." I said, reaching my hand out to him and shaking his hand as he reached out and did the same. "Maybe next time." I said, with him nodding and walking off. Looking over at Tanaka, I saw him laughing as he held his hand out to the girl, who had a Dark Magician Girl hat on, with her head on the table crying.

"Ok everyone, that appears to be all the matches!" The owner said as he put away his binoculars that he had brought out for some reason. "Now, the winners are Yurimaru buy with ATK over 4000, Dakota by ATK of 4800, and Tanaka of 7900!" He said, shocking me that Tanaka got his attack points that high, or with a combined attack that led up to that much. "Next match up will be posted soon, go ahead and mix your side deck with your deck if need be." He said as he stood up and walked away.

'That's crazy.' I thought as I looked at Tanaka. 'He just might kill me, but then there's Yurimaru.' I thought, looking at the kid with a strange hairstyle. 'It looks like he's trying to be an anime character, just as much as Tanaka is.' I thought as I thought of both next to each other.

"Ok everyone, times up!" The owner said, with me nodding. "The matches are, Ino against Sayaka, Dakota against Yurimaru, and Tanaka against Yugachi." He said, with me looking at Yurimaru, who looked dead at me, knowing who I am. He stood up and made his way to me and sat down, not even saying a word.

'Silent type.' I thought as I started shuffling my cards as he did the same and then cut the others deck. "I'll go first and set three cards and end." I said, with him nodding.

"Draw, and I'll activate pot of duality." He said, drawing three cards and showing them to me. Negate Attack, Scapegoat and Swords of Reviling Light. "I'll take Negate Attack." He said, adding it to his hand and shuffling the rest into his deck. "I set two cards face down and then summon Cardcar D, only to tribute it to draw two cards and end my turn." He said, drawing two cards as I drew one.

"I'll summon Blue Rose Drag-"

"Trap Hole." He said, with me nodding as I suspected that.

"I end." I said, with him nodding again.

"Draw." He said as he drew. "I summon Cardcar D and use his effect." He said, drawing two cards again and me one.

"I summon Naturia Beans, only to send him back to special summon Fallen Angel of Roses." I said, with him nodding. "I then use Plant Food Chain, giving her an extra 500 attack points, and I'll attack for-"

"Negate Attack." He said, with me nodding as he used his last card.

"I end my turn." I said, with him nodding.

"Draw, set, turn." He said, with me narrowing my eyes.

"I draw." I said as I drew a card. "I summon Twilight Rose Knight, and special summon Lord Poison, only to synchro summon Black Rose Dragon, but I wont use her effect and attack you-"

"Negate Attack." He said, with me glaring at him.

"I end." I said as he nodded.

"Draw, I use Golden Sarcophagus, to banish the head of Exodia." He said, with me knowing the deck he's running now. "Then I'll use another Golden Sarcophagus." He said, shocking me, banishing the Right Arm. I'll set one card and one monster face down and end." He said, with me nodding.

"I draw." I said as I drew a card. "I use Seed Cannon and summon Naturia Beans and with Angel I'll attack your-"

"Saketsu Armor." He said, with me banishing it.

"Black Rose attacks." I said, with it being a Shangan, but he didn't search his deck. .You have the others in your hand.' I thought as I made my weakest monster attack, only for him to bring out Ghostrick Jack Frost in face down defense position. "I end." I said, with him nodding.

"Draw, I use Swords of concealing Light." He said, with me flipping my monster face down. "Turn."

"Draw, and game." I said, having to end as he drew the last two pieces of Exodia, reviling them.

"That's one hell of a defense." I said, with him nodding.

"Good game." He said, with me nodding.

"And that's everyone once again!" The owner said as we all looked at him. "Now, the winners of this round are Ino with an ATK of 8900, just a little short of being OVER 9000!?" He yelled, with everyone staring at him. "Then there was Yurimaru, with the perfect win of EXODIA, OBLIDERATE!?" He yelled, holding his hand out...and everyone still staring. "Man, tough crowd." He said, scratching his head. "Well, Yugachi wins with an ATK of 1800." He said, with the kid getting mad that he didn't get a good introduction. "Ok people, time to mix your side decks up and get ready for the next round!" He said, with me looking at Tanaka, seeing him with his arms crossed and leaning back with his eyes closed.

'So, he lost as well, man, that kid is sure to win.' I thought as I looked at the kid in front of me, who was staring right back at me, creeping me out.

"Ok, onto the next round, the matches will be, Yurimaru and Sayaka, Dakota and Tanaka, finally Ino against Yugachi." He said, with me and Tanaka looking at the other. We both stood up and walked towards the other, stopping at an empty table.

"It had to happen some time." I said, with him nodding.

"Indeed, now let me show you the power of my DARK MAGICIAN, THE DRAGON KNIGHT!?" He yelled, pointing his hand at me.

"Your going to have to summon him if you want to win this." I said as we sat down. "Hey, after this, want to get out of here?" I asked, with him nodding.

"This is truly the only reason why I'm here, to teach you a lesson, not for the money." He said, with me nodding. "Now, I'll go first." He said as we drew our five cards. "I use Swords of Reviling Light, then I'll use Dark Magical Circle." He said, looking at the next three cards. "I'll add the eye of timaeus to my hand and end my turn by setting one card." He said, with me nodding.

"Draw." I said as I picked up my next card. "I set four cards and end my turn." I said, shocking him.

"So many traps!?" He said, making me smile.

"You'll see." I said, with him drawing a card.

"I end." He said, with me drawing a card.

"I end as well." I said, with him drawing another card.

"I end." He said, with me laughing a bit and drawing my next card.

"Turn." I said, with him smirking as he drew his next card.

"Turn." He said, with me laughing and drawing my next card and him removing swords.

"Set one and turn." I said, with him nodding and drawing his next card.

"Turn." He said, with me shaking my head and drawing my next card. I held my hand out to him, meaning that it was his turn. "I'll summon Absolute Crusa-"

"Bottomless Trap Hole." I said, with him cursing as he banished his monster.

"I end my turn." He said as I drew my next card.

"I summon Lord Poison, only to return him to my hand and special summon Fallen Angel of Roses, then I use Plant Food Chain and then attack you with 2900 attack points." I said, with him acting like he was hurt.

"The plants are strong with this one, does he have the power of the Enchantress!?" He questioned his self, making me smirk.

"You fool, the powers of Enchantress has nothing on me, HAHAHAHA!?" I joined him, making him gasp.

"So it was you who was making me draw bad cards, I should have known, now I, the great Tanaka Gundham shall take you down!?" He said, drawing his next card like he was in an anime. "I summon, Absolute Crus-"

"Bottomless Trap Hole." I said, getting a horrified scream from him as he lost another monster.

"You fined, I shall have my revenge!?" He said, with me nodding as I drew my next card.

"I summon Lord Poison and attack you for 2900 and 1500." I said, with him acting like he was hurt really bad.

"One more attack, and I'm done for!?" He yelled, clutching his heart. "I can't lose to the likes of you, I draw!" He said, drawing another card. "I summon Skilled Dark Magi-"

"Bottomless trap hole." I said, shocking him. "And game." I said, with him acting like he died. "Ok, let's go." I said as I packed my things up, with him doing the same, but weakly.

"I, Tanaka Gundham, shall have my revenge!" He said as I helped him out of there like he was really hurt or something, and with that, Yurimaru won by default.

XXXXXXXX

Hey guys, sorry for the REALLY LATE update, I just couldn't think of how to do Tanaka's day out, but I ended up getting it done. yesterday before I went to work I was thinking about this and thought it would be fun, so when I got home I took six of my Decks and dueled my self, each trying to win against the other not one sided, I have to be fair. TBH, I expected to lose against the odd eyes deck. anyways, I used 2d6 to determine who went against who. well, hope you like this chapter, and the next one will ALSO be a bit of a challenge.
