Okay, so here's the double update. I decided to merge this with the fourth chapter I was working on because it was too short, so this should be the end of the real world arc. R&R, PM, and Enjoy!

Chapter 3

Jacob stood only ten feet away from the five, almost paralyzed. These were the five who broke his duel disk when he was twelve, and now they were back. "What's the matter?" Marty asked in a sarcastic tone. "Cat got your tongue?"

Jacob stepped back, and the John said, "I believe he asked you a question." Jacob looked at the boy on the ground, and saw he was practically begging for help. "You gonna cry like when we broke your duel disk?

" Jacob stood straight and said, "Give the deck back to him, or else-"

"Or else what? You'll take it from me?"

"If I have to."

"And how do you plan to do that?" Jacob looked between the five of them, thinking of what he should do.

"I challenge you to a duel," was what came out, and they burst into an uproar.

"How? Your duel disk is broken, remember?" Jacob looked down, and the John continued, "Face it, you couldn't beat me then, and there's no way you can beat me now." Jacob turned and walked back into the store. The five jeered at him, until he came back out a few minutes later with a duel disk on his left arm. He took the cards he had in his pocket and put them into the card slot.

John handed the stolen deck to the Marty, and they said simultaneously, "Duel Disk, activate!" They pulled out their duel gazer and put them on their left eyes, "Duel Gazer, activate!"

The street became cloaked in light, and a virtual voice said, "Augmented reality, vision link established."

"Duel!"

Jacob: 4000
John: 4000

John shouted, "I draw! I summon The Six Samurai-Nisashi (4/1400/700)!" A glowing ring appeared on the ground and a warrior with twin katanas, made of green energy, rose up from it. "I'll end my turn for now. Make your move!"

Jacob: 4000
John: 4000

Jacob drew and smiled at his hand. "I'll first activate Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw two cards. Now, I summon Luster Dragon (4/1900/1600), and activate Riryoku." A blue dragon appeared in a flash of blue light, and a green energy surrounded both monsters. "Riryoku is a spell card that drains half of your monsters ATK (1400-700), and adds it to my own monster's ATK (1900-2600). Now Luster Dragon, attack with Luster Slash!" Luster Dragon cloaked itself in a field of blue and charged at Nisashi, slicing him in half and dealing major damage to John, who was almost thrown back by the force of the attack. "With that, Luster Dragon's ATK returns to normal (2600-1900), and I end my turn."

Jacob: 4000
John: 2100

John drew and sneered. "I play one monster in defense mode, then I play two cards face-down." The three cards appeared on the field, and John ended his turn.

Jacob: 4000
John: 2100

As Jacob drew, he thought to himself, 'Those cards must be traps. I'll have to take a chance.' "I summon Armed Dragon LV3 (3/1200/900)!" A small, orange colored dragon appeared next to Luster Dragon, and Jacob continued, "I attack your face-down with Luster Dragon, and Armed Dragon LV3 attacks you directly!" The two dragons charged, and the face-down was destroyed. John lost another chunk of Life Points, but he didn't activate his face-downs. "I'll end for now."

Jacob: 4000
John: 900

John drew, and this time a smile was on his face. "You got lucky, but now it's time to lose! I set one monster in defense mode, and, by banishing the two Six Samurai monsters you sent to my Graveyard, I Special Summon Enishi, Shien's Chancellor (6/2200/1200)!" A stern looking Japanese man with black and white hair appeared on the field, arms crossed. "Now, I activate my face-down spell cards!"

'Spell cards?!' Jacob didn't think about face-down spells, now he was in trouble.

"Banner of Courage and The A. Forces! Because Enishi is my only face-up Warrior, his ATK is raised by 400 (2200-2600)! Now, Enishi! Chancellor's Strike on his Armed Dragon!" Enishi drew his sword and, faster than Jacob could blink, struck down his monster. "Now, I end."

Jacob: 2600
John: 900

Jacob drew and noticed the card, Kurigoh.

-Flashback-
Jacob went into the store and asked the counter woman if he could borrow a duel disk and gazer. "Of course dear, anything to help you beat those bullies. Just a few months ago they started shoplifting at my store, taking decks and duel equipment from my shop." She stooped down and grabbed a box, "Here you go, the latest model to date." Jacob took them out and put the duel disk on.

"Also, take these." Jacob looked at her held out hand and saw the three Kurigoh cards. He took them gently, and thanked her. "Now go and teach them a lesson!" Jacob nodded and added the cards to his deck before walking out to face John and his gang.
-End flashback-

'What it lacks in power, it makes up for in its ability. Well, right now I need defense more than ability.' "I switch Luster Dragon into defense mode and place one monster face-down, which ends my turn." Luster Dragon folded it's arms and a card appeared next to it.

Jacob: 2600
John: 900

John drew, and said, "I summon Shien's Squire (1/300/700) (300-900) in attack mode, and I'll attack your dragon with Enishi, and because I now have two warriors, his power increases (2600-2800)!" Once again, Enishi struck down Jacob's monster in a flash, and John ended his turn.

Jacob: 2600
John: 900

Jacob drew and swallowed with nervousness "I take it you don't have any moves?" John called from the other side of the field.

"No, but I'll pass anyway!"

Jacob: 2600
John: 900

John drew, and said, "I sacrifice Shien's Squire and Enishi to summon Great Shogun Shien (7/2500/2400) (2500-2900)!" A samurai in full battle armor appeared, and Jacob shuddered. "Now, attack! Great Shogun Slash!" The monster leaped into the air and slashed his face-down, cutting it in half and destroying it. "I highly suggest you give up now, small fry!" John called out, filling Jacob with both anger and self-doubt. "There's no way you can win! I end my turn!" Jacob shouted, having destroyed Jacob's last line of defense.

'He's right, there's no possible way I could win,' Jacob thought to himself. 'One more attack from his Shogun, and I'm done for. He might not stop at destroying my duel disk this time. He might even take, or worse destroy, my cards!'

Jacob: 2600
John: 900

Jacob drew, and heard a small sound and looked around. He heard it again, louder this time, and looked at the cards he had in his hand. He looked at the Kurigoh card, and noticed its one closed eye was opening and closing. 'I must be going mad. But...' "I summon Kurigoh (1/300/200) in attack mode!"

The small monster appeared, and John roared in laughter, "You intend to beat me with a puffball!?" The entire group burst into uproar, and Jacob looked down, thinking he made a mistake. Kurigoh floated over to him and cooed, the same sound he heard before.

Jacob looked at his monster, and thought, 'His lack of strength is made up for in his ability.' Jacob had a look of realization, and said, "I activate Kurigoh's ability! This allows me to Special Summon two more Kurigoh from my deck!" Two more Kurigoh appeared, and they cracked up even more.

"What-ha ha-do you think-ha-those will do-ha ha ha!?"

"Their second ability, that's what!" The five gradually stopped laughing and Jacob continued, "Their second ability allows them to attack you directly!"

"What!? But 300 times three means-"

"900 points of direct damage." Jacob finished. "Now go! Kurigoh Dash!" The three Kurigohs zigzagged past John's monsters, and ran into John, who was thrown onto his back.

Jacob: 2600
John: 0
Win: Jacob

The Kurigohs returned to Jacob, cooing in happiness. Jacob reached a hand out to them, but they disappeared as the augmented reality faded. The four surrounded John, and Jacob walked up to them. The four backed away, and Jacob held a hand out to Marty. "I believe you stole some things." Marty reluctantly placed the kid's deck in his hands.

"You're light." The four grumbled and they took off their duel disks and gazers, decks still in them, and handed them over. Jacob gave the kid his stolen deck back, and turned to John, who was getting up. "And you," he said, holding his hand out. John tore the duel disk and gazer off and shoved them into Jacob's hands.

The five backed up, and John said, "Don't think this'll be the last time you'll see us." The five ran away from the store and Jacob turned to the store.

The kid was still there, and he said, "Hey, thanks for helping me out."

"Don't mention it," Jacob replied, going into the store. He walked up to the counter and placed the stolen merchandise on the counter.

"Thank you, young man. Those five have been nothing but trouble for my business." She took the merchandise and placed them on the floor behind the counter. Jacob started to take his duel disk off, but the counter woman stopped him. "Please, keep it and the Kurigohs, as a way of saying thank you." Jacob smiled and turned to the kid.

"And here, take these as well." He handed him four cards, and Jacob looked at them. They were all Xyz monsters, three Rank 3's and one Rank 4.

"Muzurythm the String Djinn, Temtempo the Percussion Djinn, Melomelody the Brass Djinn, and Maestroke the Symphony Djinn? No, no, I can't take these." Jacob handed the cards back, but he shook his head.

"No, keep them. Please." Jacob looked at the cards again, and thanked him. "By the way," he held his hand out to Jacob, who shook it, "name's Aaron."

"Jacob."

He let go and Aaron said, "I hope we can duel sometime."

"Likewise."

Jacob left the store and got on his bike. He rode it down the street and put it back in the garage. He climbed back up the vine fence, walked across the roof and slipped through his window, feet first. He closed the window, and said to himself, "Made it."

"So," a voice said behind him, causing Jacob to freeze completely, "do anything interesting today, son?" Jacob slowly turned to see his father standing at the foot of his bed, arms crossed. "I saw you ride your bike down the street and knew something was up," he noticed the duel disk that was still on Jacob's arm. "Where'd you get that?" he asked, pointing at the duel disk.

Jacob looked down, noticing he still had it on, and said uneasily, "It's a long story, and you wouldn't believe me if I told you."

His father uncrossed his arms, and said, "Try me."

So Jacob told his father how he went to the shop and about the five who took Aaron's deck. He also explained that the five were the same ones who broke his duel disk all those years ago. He ended with the owner of the card shop allowing him to keep the duel disk and gazer, and Aaron giving him the four Xyz monsters, even showing them to his father. "And, I knew you got me a duel disk, but-"

"Duel disk? What are you talking about?" Jacob was confused, and pointed at the box.

"The duel disk in the box."

"Oh, that? It's not a duel disk." Jacob went over to his bed and picked the box up. Now that he thought about it, it did feel lighter than he thought. He tore off the tape on the sides and took the top off. He gasped at what was inside: there were several Duel Monster cards in eight stacks side by side. He took out one and looked at it, there had to have been at least 60 cards in each of them. He dumped them out and sorted through them, skimming through monster, spell, trap, fusion, synchro, and Xyz cards. He counted and found there were 38 total cards in just his extra deck!

Jacob looked up to his dad, who said, "Happy birthday, son," and left. Jacob went back to the cards and pulled out his other cards, about five 60-card decks and a side deck, and dumped them out too. He began sorting through them, placing them in piles based on their card types. He dissolved his original deck into the piles of cards, and began to search through them all, picking ones that he liked or thought were powerful, and put them together, almost 200 cards. He began to narrow his cards down to a stack of sixty, and decided to make two alternate decks from what was left. Once he had them all set, he shuffled each of them, putting the first into his deck box and tying rubber bends around the other two. He put the cards back and looked around his dirty room.

"Time for a well needed clean up."

Okay, I admit. Not a very good ending, but at least the story is updated. So keep sending in the OCs, I still need about three more. Oh, and one of them must be a girl. It doesn't have to be a love interest OC, but a girl is needed for this story. If I don't get one, I'll just make one myself. R&R, PM, and it is good to be back.
