Episode 1.2: "The Preliminaries, Begin!"

It's the day of the preliminary matches for Kaiba Corp's newest National Championship tournament. Every duelist in Domino City is eager to get started, but there going to have to wait a couple of hours yet. So in the mean time, we join Vicki in her bedroom, she is already dressed is sitting at her desk looking through various duel monster cards in her hand. Her and Alyssa had decided last night that they would use brand new decks, since relying on their old decks may not be the best course of action going into a tournament, this huge. Vicki was smiling to herself, as she took and deep breath closed up her new deck of duel monster cards and placed it firmly on the surface of her desk and sat back in her chair. She looked at her new deck, then smiled to herself..

Vicki: "Finished! Finally, if this new deck doesn't get me to the finals then I don't know, what will! Danny's going down!"

Mum: "(Shouting)..Vicki, honey! Alyssa's here!"

Vicki: "(Shouting back)..Okay! Send her up please, mum!"

Mum: "(Shouting back)..Okay, sweetie!"

A few minutes later, Alyssa entered Vicki's bedroom through her door as Vicki got up and hugged her best friend.

Vicki: "Hey, you!"

Alyssa: "Hiya! So are you, ready? Did you finish, this mystery deck of yours?"

Vicki: "(Breaking the hug)..Yeah, I did! Just now, actually! I feel proper drained now, though!"

Vicki returned to her desk, then picked up her new deck and showed it to Alyssa.

Alyssa: "(She giggled)..Yeah, I know the feeling I'm a little beat too! But I finished building my new deck too early, this morning it wasn't long, after you left actually! I can't wait to show it off, and show Danny up!"

Alyssa pulls out her deck, then shows Vicki before they both put them away in their deck pouches.

Vicki: "(Smiling)..You know it!"

Alyssa: "Come on, we said we'd meet up with Dean and Danny at Clock Tower Square! So grab, your duel disk and let's skedaddle! There are duels to play, and a championship tournament to win."

Both girls laughed, as Vicki put on her dark pinkish jean jacket and grabbed her duel disk off her bad, then equipped to her arm, before they both headed out to the hallway with Vicki closing the door behind her. Meanwhile, elsewhere in Domino City we join up with Danny and his best friend, Dean Smith-Wright. Dean is also quite attractive, he has short dark blond hair gelled forward like Danny's and is wearing a navy blue Adidas tracksuit with a white vest underneath and sporting a pair of white trainers on, they both are wearing their duel disks on their arms. Dean looks at his watch, then looks at Danny...

Dean: "As usual body, there late! Why, can't girls ever be on time man?"

Danny: "(Chuckling)..Calm down, buddy! There be here! You feeling, alright?"

Dean: "I'm fine, really! I mean, I'm just so excited about today and nervous at the same time."

Danny: "I think, we all are pal! Key is just to relax, and make sure you have faith in the deck you have build. Be more like me, dude! Worrying is for the weak.."

Dean: "I suppose, your right! Your are the regional champion, after all..that takes some skill, I guess!"

Danny: "(Nudges his friend a little)..Ha-Ha! Your real funny, Dean! (Noticing Vicki, he smiles) There they are, see! You can relax now, buddy!"

Dean: "I am relaxed! Do I not seem, relaxed?"

Danny: "You really want me to answer that, buddy?"

Dean: "On second thoughts, how about no."

Danny: "Good, choice."

Vicki & Alyssa join the boys at the clock tower square center.

Vicki: "Sorry, we're a little late. Girls talk, you know."

Dean: "When, can you talk another time! This is a big day for us, regional duelists!"

Alyssa: "Dean, baby! Chill, okay?"

Dean: "I'm chilled! Really, I am. Oh! Who am I kidding, I'm as nervous as hell!"

Alyssa: "Dean! (She places her hands on his shoulders)..Relax, alright! We're all nervous right, V?"

Vicki: "(She smiles)..Who wouldn't be?"

Dean: "Well, tell Danny that! (He looks over at his friend)..His not nervous at all!"

Alyssa: "(Smirks)..Why am I, not surprised? Anyhow, swiftly moving on! Who's upgraded their decks?"

Danny: "I did. This new deck of mine should take me all the way to the finals!"

Alyssa: "Does that ego of yours, ever too heavy for that brain of yours?"

Danny: "Your hilarious, Alyssa! Really.."

Alyssa: "(She smiled to herself)..Why, thank you! I upgraded mine, it should get me as far as I hope it will."

Dean: "Well, I was up half the night fixing it up! So, if it don't get me far then, I might just have a problem. What about you, Vicki? You sticking to your Dark World deck?"

Danny: "Yeah are you, Vicki?"

Vicki: "(I smirked to myself)..Your just have to wait & see, hey?"

Danny: "Secretive, are we? So be it."

Vicki: "Indeed. Well look guys, we better get going the opening ceremony is starting soon, then the fun begins!"

Dean: "Vicki's right, we better move!"

Danny: "Okay, let's go!"

The four young duelists leave the city center and head towards Kaiba Land, where the championships are being held. Dean & Alyssa walk ahead slightly more of: Vicki & Danny. Danny catches up to Vicki, then stands next to her as they walk together..

Danny: "So Vicki, did you tell Alyssa about last night?"

Vicki: "Why, did you tell Dean?

Danny: "No, but I--Just wanted to know, that's all."

Vicki: "(Looking at him)..Relax, Danny. Your reputation and secret is safe with me."

Danny: "What? I didn't mean---"

Vicki: "Then, what did you mean Danny?"

Danny: "Never mind. Let's just go."

Vicki: "Fine, whatever."

30 Minutes pass, as the opening ceremonies are about to commence with all four duelists present and registered with the Kaiba duelist database. All the duelists have assembled on the Kaiba Dome stadium floor, as Seto Kaiba's face appears on the digital screen dressed in his normal white get-up and still, as grumpy as ever. Kaiba begins to speak to all the duelists..

Seto: "Welcome, duelists! To the opening ceremony of, the new KC Grand National Championships! And have some exciting and very disturbing news for some of you regarding, my little tournament."

Vicki: "What kind of news, I wonder?"

Alyssa: "This should be interesting.."

Dean: "Why, don't I like sound of this, Dan?"

Danny: "You got me, dude."

Seto: "You see, this tournament will be like no other tournament before! Usually, duelists would compete in single matches and work their way up to the finals but I thought, we could do with a change! Kaiba Corp is all about looking to the future, and I believe this format is indeed the future of dueling, as we know it! So this tournament will be a Tag Team championship tournament!"

Danny: "Say, what?! You can't be serious.."

Dean: "A tag team, tournament? That means, I have to rely on someone else to help get me through to the finals? Ah, man! This blows!"

Alyssa: "Wow..Vicki, can you believe this a tag team tournament? How exciting!"

Vicki: "..Yeah, absolutely..(Uncertain, alone with her thoughts)..Why, do I get the feeling I'm not going to enjoy this tournament too much."

Seto: "I can tell this is quite a shock for you all, but I don't care. This is my tournament, and what I say goes. Anyhow, now let me explain how this is going to work! You see earlier today, the Kaiba Corp mainframe registered every duelist here in my tournament, then it randomly selected pairs that I thought would work best together using, the personality questions I had you all answer a week ago, after my announcement of this tournament! And the results were very interesting, so you and your selected partner will duel their way through the preliminary rounds of this tournament in the A, B, C & D blocks! The winning & runner-up pairs will be entered into the national championships and once again, you will work with you partner to climb your way up to the National Championship and the winning team will be known, as the National DueL Monsters Tag Force Champions! (Kaiba smiles)..Now for the fun part, I guess your all wondering who your partners are correct? Well, wait no more! Here they are.."

Kaiba's image is changed from him to the pairings for the National Championships, as all three screens show the lists. Danny, Vicki, Dean & Alyssa search for themselves and find out, who there partner is..."

Alyssa: "NO WAY!! I'm teamed with Dean?! You cannot be serious?!"

Dean: "I'm with Alyssa! Heh, could have been worse!"

Danny: "I'm with...(His eyes widen)...VICKI?!!? Oh my, god!"

Vicki: "Kill me now! I'm with Danny!"

Alyssa: "Lucky, you!"

Vicki: "Aren't I, just? Why me!? Ooh! Anyone, but him."

Alyssa: "Vicki, look who else is in this tournament!"

Vicki: "Emma Rosenberg! No way, the Scottish regional champion! I hear, she duels with a deck of fairy monsters! She's tough.."

Dean: "Danny, look!"

Danny: "What, is it now?"

Dean: "Look, who else is signed up.."

Danny: "Justin Thompson, the Irish regional champion? Sweet! I've seen him duel, his good. Maybe, this won't be too bad after all!"

Alyssa: "It looks like, Bradly Jamison & Darya Mansfield! Are in the tournament, as well. Damn, so real competition! Finally.."

Vicki: "Yeah, there not the Welsh & Netherlands champions for nothing. I think, this tournament is going to be fun. I'm glad, I decided to join up."

Alyssa: "Me too. It's a shame, we couldn't be paired together, eh?"

Vicki: "Yeah, but hey make a pact right now..to get to the finals, no matter what! And get into that national championship!"

Alyssa: "I'm so there."

Danny: "Dean..."

Dean: "Yeah, pal?"

Danny: "Promise, your do whatever it takes to get to the finals! You hear me? We both deserve to be in that national championship!"

Dean: "I promise you, dude. We'll do our best Alyssa & I."

Danny: "Great. (He smiled)..Then, so will Vicki & I."

The screen returns to Kaiba's image on screen, as he begins to finish his opening speech.

Seto: "Alright now that you know, who your partners and what they look like! Find them, and then get to one another because the preliminaries begin in 1 hour! On behalf of Kaiba Corp & Myself, I wish you all, the best of luck!"

The transmission closes, as the pairings remain on the screen. As all the participating duelists begin to break, and find their partners so that the tournament can finally begin.

Outside the Kaiba Land's Virtual World building, Vicki & Alyssa has met up with their respective partners in: Danny & Dean. They stare each other down, not exactly thrilled with their new potential championship partners, but suck it up and get on with it.

Alyssa: "Look, Dean if I'm going to be stuck with you! You better not screw up, this championship for us! Or I will kill you, personally!"

Dean: "Alright, god! I get it, your not happy with me being your partner! I'm not exactly jumping for joy, myself! But, we're both good duellists, so the least we can do is try and work together, am I right?"

Alyssa: "For once, yeah! (Rolls her eyes)..Alright, fine! I'll give a shot.."

Dean: "(Smiled to himself putting his arm around, Alyssa)..See! U believe this is the start of a beautiful partnership, Alyssa!"

Alyssa: "I doubt it. I'll catch up with you later, Vicki! We're in Block C, so we gotta go!"

Vicki: "Okay, bye hun!"

Dean: "See ya Vicki, see ya Dan! Good luck!"

Vicki & Danny: "Later."

Alyssa & Dean leave together leaving Vicki & Danny alone together. Danny looks at Vicki, as the awkward silence continues but Danny decides to speak and break it..

Danny: "Wow..who would have thought, eh? You & me, partners..officially and all!"

Vicki: "(Her arms were folded, looking at him)..Looks that way. Look, I'm not happy with this arrangement, but if it gets us into nationals, then I'll put up with you, just don't get in my way okay, Danny?!"

Danny: "(He looked down, and nodded then up at him)..Okay fine Vic, you win! But stay out of my way, as well okay and hopefully we'll get where we're both suppose to be. We do make a good team, after all. Just look at our duel, yesterday Vic?"

Vicki: "That duel was just an inconvenience for us both, and that's it! Come on, we've got a tournament to win! We're in Block A, so let's head our starting arena."

Vicki started walking away with Danny following closely behind.

Danny: "Yes, Ma'am! Time to kick, some butt!"

Vicki & Danny start walking towards their designated arena, but little to they know not to far from their location they are being watched by 2 of the regional champions: Darya Mansfield & Bradley Jamison. Both these duellists have their arms folded watching them walk away. Bradley has dark red hair with a parting that stretches over his forehead with a small x-scar on the right side of his cheek dressed in a dark yellow leather jacket, black jeans and white vest top underneath his jacket along with wearing dark blue trainers, he also has a dark blue baseball cap on backwards. Darya on the other hand is dressed in, what looks to be a pair of jeans' hot pants, a red low cut top and long light blue hair that is straightened with a pair of dark yellow trainers on her feet. Both duellists are reasonably attractive..

Darya: "So that's them is it? The English regional champion: Danny Granger & the runner-up, Vicki Car-Michael..(She smirks)..Quite the powerful combination, don't cha thing Brad?"

Bradley: "I do..(His facial expression intensifies)..But they've got nothing on us, Darya. We'll crush them in the finals."

Darya: "Hear, hear. We just gotta make sure, we win the Block B tournament, so we can advance to the nationals."

Bradley: "Shouldn't be too hard, these duellists in this competition don't seem to be very skilled, only the odd few stand out. Come on, let's go. Block B begins soon."

Darya: "Right."

Bradley: "Soon, you two. Soon."

Bradley & Darya turn away, then walk off in the opposite direction to Danny & Vicki to their designated area.

Elsewhere in Kaiba Land, new partners Dean & Alyssa are almost at their designated area until, they bump into another team along the way: the team of Emma Rosenberg & Justin Thompson. Justin has his hands in his black jeans with his eyes closed, he has dark brain hair that is short and gelled outwards. He has a black plastic necklace around his neck and is wearing just red tank-top over his torso with a pair of black & white trainers, and is extremely handsome and well built. Emma on the other hand is wearing a dark pink skirt, a white low-cut top along with a short dark grey poncho on over her top and has long black hair, but it is tied up in a ponytail, she is quite pretty.

Emma: "So Justin, you & I partners! How cool?"

Justin: "(Opening his eyes)..Yeah it's alright, I suppose. I mean, I've watched you duel & all.

Emma: "Same here. Glad, we have each other as partners and not some rookie duellists or will wouldn't be winning, this tournament at all."

They both laughed to themselves. Alyssa notices them, as she smacks Dean in the chest with the back of her hand gently causing them to stop and look on.

Alyssa: "Dean, look! It's Emma Rosenberg & Justin Thompson, the Scottish and Irish regional champions. Oh my god, Justin's even hotter in person! Look at that physique! Emma is so lucky."

Dean: "(Looking at Justin)..Alyssa, his not that buff! I'm fitter."

Alyssa: "(Alyssa looks Dean up & down, unimpressed)..Your not that hot, Dean!"

Dean: "I am too."

Alyssa: "Oh, shut up! God.."

Dean: "Oi! Don't tell me to shut up that really hurt!"

Alyssa: "Quiet! Your annoying me! Let's go introduce ourselves!"

Dean: "Argh..Do we have too? God sake!"

Alyssa: "Yes, we do! Stop crying, like a big baby! Come, on!"

Dean: "(Alyssa grabs his arm)..Hey, I resent that! I am not, a baby!"

Alyssa drags Dean over to, where Justin & Emma are as they stop right infront of them with Alyssa letting Dean's arm go. As she admires Justin, then smiles.

Alyssa: "Hi, there!"

Justin & Emma look a little surprised, but smile.

Alyssa: "I'm Alyssa Jenkins and his...(She looks at him, then looks away quickly with a smile)..nobody!

Dean: "(Shocked)..What! I am, somebody! The name's Dean Smith-Wright, pretty boy."

Emma: "(Emma & Justin chuckle a little)..Your cute, Dean. I'm Emma, Emma Rosenberg."

Dean: "(Surprised with a smile)..I am?"

Alyssa: "Your joking, right?"

Justin: "I'm Justin, Justin Thompson."

Justin holds out his hand to Dean, Dean just looks at it unimpressed, then looks up at Justin.

Dean: "I'm fine, thanks."

Justin: "(Surprised)..Oh, okay..(He withdraws his hand)..Fair enough. So your partners are you?"

Alyssa: "Unfortunately, yes. Hey Emma, you want to trade partners?"

Dean: "Alyssa!"

Emma: "(She laughs)..No, your okay. The way you too fight, are you like boyfriend & girlfriend or something?"

Alyssa & Dean: "WHAT?! Not in a million, years!"

Justin: "(Emma & Justin laugh)..I'll take that, as a no. But you what, they say right?"

Alyssa & Dean: "No. What do they, say?"

Justin: "They say, if 2 people fight like you two do! That they really care about, each other."

Alyssa & Dean: "I don't care about him/her!"

Emma: "(Justin & Emma laugh again)..Anyway, we better be going! It was chatting to you, too. Maybe, we'll see you in the national championship since we're heading to the Block D, arena."

Alyssa: "(Smiling)..Yeah, maybe."

Dean: "Count on it."

Emma: "Bye, now."

Justin: "Later guys, good luck in the preliminaries!"

Alyssa & Dean: "Bye."

Emma & Justin head off to their designated arena with Alyssa & Dean looking on. Dean isn't happy at all, where as Alyssa is just smiling admiring the back of Justin..

Alyssa: "Vicki is going to be, so jealous! I actually met Justin Thompson!"

Dean: "(Folding his arms)..God, don't you ever shut up about him! Do you love him, or something. His not that great."

Alyssa: "(Smacking Dean on his arm)..Do not talk that way about, my Justin!"

Dean: "Owwwwww!! That hurt!! (Holding his arm).."

Alyssa: "It'll hurt a lot more, if you say another bad word about my future boyfriend! You got it! (In his face).."

Dean: "Yeah, yeah. I got it! Now can, we get inside already!"

Alyssa: "(creating a little distance from Dean's face)..Sure. Let's go."

Dean: "(Rolls his eyes)..Thank you. 'Bout time."

Alyssa then slowly walks into the arena with stars in her eyes thinking about Justin, as Dean just stands there looking on sighing to himself as he slowly follows in behind her muttering to himself..

Dean: "This is so not, my day."

They walk inside, as our scene begins to change to inside the Block A building, where Danny & Vicki are seen looking at a flat screen in the duellist waiting room, which shows the duel platforms where the Block A preliminaries are being held. Fireworks begin shooting off into the sky announcing the start of all for preliminary rounds, as the announcing starts..

Aaron: "Finally, the Kaiba Corp National Championship preliminary rounds have officially, begun! And I have to say, Bob we're in for one hell of a ride with some amazing duellists participating in this first-ever National Championship, competition! I can't wait!"

Bob: "That's right, Aaron! And just to name, a few of those duellists they include our very own English regional champion and runner-up, Danny Granger & Vicki Car-Michael! As well, as regional champions from across Great Britain like: The rough & tough, Bradley Jameson; The rouge that is: Darya Mansfield; The quirky and technical styling of: Emma Rosenberg and Duel Monsters very own pretty boy and Irish regional champion, Justin Thompson!"

Aaron: "It's going to be an amazing tournament, Bob! & Now, we turn our attention to our very own MC for the tournament the vocal charisma of DJ Jazz-Man! Over to my friend.."

DJ: "Thanks, Aaron! Now, why don't we stop all the waiting and get straight to the action! Can we have our first match-up, please! (A screen lowered itself from the ceiling onto the platform slightly still in the air)..Now, let's see which 2 pairs will open the championships for us! The Kaiba Corp mainframe will randomly select all the pairs in the Block A database and then, we're in business and the database has chosen...(The screen continues to run through all the pairings in the Block A tournament & rapidly speeds up and then selects the two pairings as they appear on either side of the screen)..The team of English regional champion & finalist: Danny Granger & Vicki Car-Michael!"

Back in the locker room, as Danny & Vicki look at each other..

Danny: "Sweet, looks like we're duelling first!"

Vicki: "Already? Wow..but who are we facing?"

We returned to the field, as DJ Jazz-Man continues..

DJ: "Wow! Talk about a heart-stopping opening match! As our home-town heroes take on, Cecilia Armstrong & Travis Danger-field! The first tag-team duel of the tournament starts in 30 minutes! So will the chosen participants please prepare the finishing touches to their decks now and make their way to the duelling platform! Thank-you! Don't go away, folks! We'll be right back, after these messages!"

Vicki: "Cecilia Armstrong & Travis Danger-field?! Have you heard of them, before Danny?"

Danny: "(He shakes his head)..No I haven't, so we better be on-guard!"

Vicki: "Aren't we, always?!"

Danny: "True. Come on, we better make our way to the duelling field."

Vicki: "Alright."

30 Minutes has passed and now home-town heroes: Danny & Vicki have taken their positions on their side of the platform, as have Cecilia & Travis on the opposite side. DJ Jazz-Man gets the all-clear, as the Tag Force tournament broadcast returns to viewers TV screens, as most of Domino have taken seats in the park watching the large TV screen, KC has supplied the people with and also people have in their living rooms..

DJ: "Welcome back, folks! As you can see, our two teams have taken up their positions! So let's get started! The team of Danny & Vicki Vs. Cecilia & Travis! Everybody start your duel-disks...NOW!"

All four duellists activate their duel disks and place their decks inside their duel-disks and draw their first 5 cards from their decks to make their opening hands, as we hear the following..

Everyone: "DUEL!!"

DANNY & VICKI 8000

CECILIA & TRAVIS 8000

Vicki: "How about, we just kick things! (Cecilia & Travis agree)..My draw!"

Vicki draws 1 card from her deck, then looks at it..

Vicki: "..Okay! I think, I'll kick things off with this: My Destiny Hero – Diamond Dude! In defence mode!"

Vicki places her chosen monster on the field sideways, as Diamond Dude [1400/1600] appears on the field in defensive mode. As Vicki continues her move..

Danny: "A Destiny Deck is your big mystery deck, Vicki?"

Vicki: "(She smirks)..Not really, but all we become clear soon."

Danny: "Okay, whatever you say."

Vicki: "Next from my hand, I activate the spell card: Malevolent Destiny! (It appears on the field)..Now for, it's effect! You see, If I happen to control a Destiny Hero on my side of the field, I can offer up 800 of my life points to summon another Destiny Hero from my deck, as long as it's level 4 or below! So I pay 800 life points to special summon, my Destiny Hero Dunker in defence mode!"

DANNY & VICKI 7200

CECILIA & TRAVIS 8000

Destiny Hero – Dunker [1200/1700] materializes onto the field in defensive mode. Vicki then discards a card from her hand to activate the special ability of Destiny Hero – Dunker.

Vicki: "I've just sent my Destiny Hero – Disk Commander to the graveyard to activate Dunker's ability, the 500 point strike! As it's name suggests, you lose 500 of your life points now! Dunker, go!"

Dunker does so and then kicks a ball of energy towards her opponents has it explodes causing them to lose 500 life points from their total score.

DANNY & VICKI 7200

CECILIA & TRAVIS 7500

Vicki: "Next, I'll activate the special ability of my Diamond Dude! I can flip the top card of my deck, and if it happens to be a normal spell card, I'm in luck because I can store it in my graveyard! (She flips her top card)..And look, what I picked up? It's the spell card: Destiny Draw! So, it goes to my graveyard now till my next turn. Then during my next turn, I can use it! Finally, I'll end my turn with 1 card face-down! Your move!"

A face-down card appears behind Vicki's two hero monsters. As Cecilia gets ready to take her 1st turn.

DJ: "A good solid opening move for our very own, Vicki Car-Michael! Now, what will her opponents do next?"

Cecilia draws her 1st card.

Cecilia: "I summon, Goblin Attack Force! In Attack mode!"

She places her chosen card face-up on her duel-disk, as Goblin Attack Force [2300/0] materializes onto the field. A spell card begins to appear on the field..

Cecilia: "Next, I play Double Summon! So I can summon another monster, this turn! So Giant Arc, your on! Attack mode!"

Giant Arc [2200/0] materializes onto the field in attack mode, a card appears face-down behind them both.

Cecilia: "I'll end my turn with a face-down!"

Danny: "Wow..so high powered monsters on her first turn!"

Vicki: "Not bad, I guess."

DJ: "Those are some high-powered monsters for her first turn! Our home-town heroes better be, careful! Looks like, regional champion Danny's move, now!"

Danny: "Alright, I'm up! Let's go!"

Danny draws a card from his deck, he then quickly looks at it.

Vicki: "Let's see, this new deck of yours, Danny!"

Danny: "As you, wish! (He smiles to himself)..First up, I'm activating this: (A spell card appears on the field)..My Deluxe Union, spell card!"

Vicki: "Huh?! I've never heard of that card!"

Travis: "I don't like this, neither have I."

Cecilia: "Yeah."

Danny: "(Smirks to himself)..This spell card allows to send 3 cards from my hand to the graveyard in order to add 3-Union monsters from my deck to my hand for the price of 700 of life points!"

DANNY & VICKI 6500

CECILIA & TRAVIS 7500

Danny sends his three chosen cards to the graveyard from his hand, then adds his chosen Union cards from his deck to his hand. Deluxe Union then fades, as it enters the graveyard.

Danny: "Now that's out of the way, I summon GX-1 Sole Matrix in attack mode!"

GX-1 Sole Matrix [1050/1050] materializes onto the field in attack mode. Two cards, then appear face-down behind Danny's new monster.

Danny: "Next, I'll end my turn with 2 cards face-down."

Vicki: "(Her thoughts)..Interesting cards, I wonder what else he has in that deck of his! But I'm sure, whatever it is won't match up to my deck's true power..(she smirks to herself looking at her deck, as her thoughts continue as she looks up at her opponents)..They don't stand, a chance!"

DJ: "Nice moves, Danny! Cards, I've never seen before! Travis, my friend your up next!"

Travis: "Okay, I draw!"

Travis draws a card from his deck.

Travis: "I summon, Soul Tiger in defence mode!"

Soul Tiger [0/2100] materializes onto the field in defence mode.

Travis: "That's all."

Vicki: "Alright then, no more waiting around time for some action! I draw!"

Vicki draws from her deck.

Vicki: "I summon, Destiny Hero – Captain Tenacious in attack mode! And switch all my hero monsters' to attack mode!"

Destiny Hero – Captain Tenacious [800/800] appears on the field in attack mode. Destiny Heroes – Dunker & Diamond Dude switches to attack mode. Vicki's graveyard, then begins to glow smiling to herself.

Vicki: "Since, it's my next turn Destiny Draw activates in my graveyard! So, I'll be drawing two more cards, if you don't mind! (She draws 2 cards from her deck, then looks at them)..Excellent! Next I'll activate, the special ability of my Diamond Dude once again..you know, what that means right? I flip the top card of my deck, if it happens to be a normal spell I can send it to my graveyard and use it on my next turn! So, let's flip!"

Vicki flips the top card of her deck, then smiles to herself, as she stores it in her graveyard.

Vicki: "Lucky me, so it goes to my graveyard! It's name, you ask? Why don't you just wait & see now, huh? Diamond Dude attack Giant Arc now!"

Cecilia: "What?! My monsters' stronger!"

Danny: "Vicki, what are you doing?"

Vicki: "Relax, Danny! It's all good! Diamond Devastator!"

Diamond Dude launches his attack towards the Giant Arc.

Cecilia: "Argh! I don't know, what your up too but Giant Arc destroy her hero now! Bone Basher!"

Giant Arc counter attacks and destroys Diamond Dude sending him to the graveyard, as Danny & Vicki life-points decrease by 800.

DANNY & VICKI 5800

CECILIA & TRAVIS 7500

Travis: "Looks like, your big plan didn't work! That was a stupid move!"

Vicki: "(Smiling)..Oh, you think so do ya? Well, actually thanks for destroying , my hero because now I can activate this! (She places her hand over her face-down card).."

Cecilia: "Her face-down card!"

Vicki: "(Her trap flips up)..It's called: Higher Calling!"

Travis: "Say, what?"

Vicki: "Higher Calling can be activated, when a Destiny Hero is destroyed in battle! And now, my friends the true power of my new deck can now be unleashed!"

Danny: "Oh boy.."

Vicki: "So now, I can special summon a "Supreme Hero" monster to the field, from my deck!"

Cecilia: "A what, hero?"

Danny: "What's a Supreme Hero? I've never heard of it, before."

Vicki: "So I think, I'll call out..(She removes her deck, then searches through it and picks her card)..Oh, yes..a favourite of mine! Supreme Hero: Dark-Side! In attack mode!"

Supreme Hero: Dark-Side [1200-1200] materializes onto the field in attack mode.

Vicki: "Quite the ghoulish-type isn't he? Well, you know my friend here hates not being around his friends! So, why don't I help him out a bit! If I give up, a 1000 of my life points! The second effect of my Higher Calling trap card, activates!"

DANNY & VICKI 4800

CECILIA & TRAVIS 7500

Vicki: "Every other, Non-Supreme Hero on my side of the field are destroyed and I'm allowed to replace them with the same amount of Supreme Heroes from my deck, hand or graveyard!
