Chapter 3: First Time for Everything

Ayato: 4000/Akari: 4000

"I can't wait to be the first to beat the son of the King of Games." Akari said smugly.

"Your not the first to try, I place two cards face down and summon Fire Princess(1300/1500) in defense mode.", Ayato replied as he made he finished his first turn.

"Whatever, my draw."

"I play Harpie Lady in attack mode (1300/1400), then I place one card face down." The humanoid creature appeared before the girl, screeching at it's opponent. "Now I'll activate my trap, your gonna love this one Ayato, its called Solemn Wishes, each time I draw a card I gain 500 life points."

"Fine with me, I'll put two cards face down and end my turn."

"My turn, and thanks to my cards affect, I gain 500 extra life points." A purple aura engulfed Akari.

Ayato: 4000/Akari: 4500

"Next I'll play Elegant Egotist, with this card I can special summon my favorite monster, Harpie Lady Sisters (1950/2150) in attack mode." The three humanoid creatures joined the first, all of them were smirking.

'Wow shes good' Jaden thought.

"Now Harpie Lady Sisters attack Fire Princess." The three monsters unleashed a tornado that ripped into Ayato's monster.

"My Fire Princess may be gone but I can still play this trap card, Jar of Greed, it allows me to draw one card from my deck."

"A lot of good that will do you, I end my turn."

"My draw, I play Infinite Cards, this allows me to have no set limit on the cards I can have in my hand, next I'll play Pot of Greed so I can draw two more cards, then I'll end my turn."

"You draw all those cards and don't even do anything, you must really suck, well its my draw, and thanks to my card effect I gain 500 extra life points." Once again Akari was engulfed in a purple aura.

Ayato: 4000/Akari: 5000

"I summon Amoeba in defense mode (300/350)." The named creature emerged from the card.

"Now I'll attack your life points directly."

"I don't think so, I will now discard Kuriboh to turn all battle damage this turn to 0."

"You got lucky, but you won't be so lucky next turn, I place two cards face down and end my turn."

'That was a close one, if Ayato doesn't get his game on soon he's gonna lose the duel.'

"My draw, I play Change of Heart to gain control of your Harpie Lady Sisters."

"Oh no you don't, I activate Angel's Mirror, this card redirects a spell card's target."

"You mean-"

"Thats right, you take control of Amoeba, and thanks to his special effect you lose 2000 life points."

"Thats what you think, I activate Barrel Behind the Door, this card redirects any damaging effects back to my opponenet.

Ayato: 4000/Akari: 3000

'That was a close one' Ayato thought. "I sacrifice Amoeba to summon Summon Skull (2500/1200) in attack mode, now Summon Skull attack."

"Not so fast I activate Negate Attack, your attack fails."

"Now its my draw, and I get another extra 500 life points."

Ayato: 4000/Akari: 3500

"Next I'll play the magic card Sword of Deep Seated, this card increases my monster attack points by 500, thus bringing it up to 2450."

"Then I'll play one card face down and that should do."

"Your monster is mine, Summon Skull take those sisters down."

"Boys are so predictable, I activate my trap, Mirror Force, this card negates your attack and destroys your monster."

"So what will you do now?"

"I'll get rid of that trap card thats what I'll do, I play Heavy Storm, it destroys your Mirror Force, then I'll end my turn."

"Your defenseless now, first my life points increase by 500 bringing it back up to 4000."Next I'll attack you directly with both of my monsters!"

Ayato: 250/Akari: 4000

"That should do."

'It all comes down to this, I can only think of one card that can save me now'.

"My draw, I play Muka Muka (600/300) in attack mode."

"What can he do?" Jaden and Akari asked in unison.

"For every card I have in my hand his attack points go up by 300, and since I have 6 cards in my hand, his attack points go up to 2400!."

"Thats nice and all but he's still not strong enough."

"I know that, so I'll play Stim-Pack, this card raises his attack by 700, but since I used a card from my hand it really only raises his attack by 400, giving him the grand total of 2500."

"Now Muka Muka attack her Harpie Lady Sisters."

Ayato: 250/Akari: 3900

"Then I'll play Poison of the Old Man to increase my life points by 1200!"

Ayato: 1450/Akari: 3900

Then I place two cards face down, and end my turn."

"I never saw that coming, I'm actually impressed, but its time to end this duel."

"Since Sword of Deep Seated was sent to the graveyard, I can bring it back to the top of my deck, and thanks to my Solemn Wishes my life points increase again."

Ayato: 1450/Akari: 4400

"Next I'll play Tribute to the Doomed, by discarding one card from my hand I can destroy your Muka Muka." Ayato grimaced as his monster exploded. "Then I equip my Harpie Lady with with Sword of Deep Seated, raising her attack points up to 1800, now attack!"

"Hold it right there, I activate the trap card Rope of Life, by paying 800 life points this card brings back a monster from my graveyard with an extra 800 attack points, and I choose Summon Skull, which means your Harpie is finished"
Ayato: 650/Akari: 2900

"Wow, sweet move there Ayato!"

"Thanks Jaden", now its my turn, which means that I win, Summon Skull attack!"

Ayato: 650/Akari: 0

"And thats game!", Jaden declared from the sidelines.

Akari fell to her knees. "How did I lose, I never lost before."

Ayato walked over to Akari. "Don't sweat it, your an awesome duelist, and besides theres a first time for everything, maybe now thats its over we can be friends."

"Hey don't get all sweet on me, you won but that doesn't mean your off the hook, someday I'll return the favor."

The next day Ayato once again found himself staring at the ocean, it really calmed him. The peace was suddenly shattered when he heard Syrus calling his name. Ayato turned to look at Syrus. "Whats wrong now?", Ayato asked sounding a little annoyed.

"You've just been moved up to Ra Yellow!"

"I was wondering when I would get promoted."

Syrus looked puzzled. "Your not sad that your leaving Slifer?"

Now it was Ayato's turn to look puzzled. "Why would I be?"

"Never mind, hope you have fun!"

Ayato was standing before the door of his new dorm room. 'I wonder who my new roommate will be?' Ayato thought. He opened the door to see a room full of equations on it. 'Well whoever lives here must be some sort of genius.' Just then Bastion walked in.

"I see I have a visitor."

"I'm not a visitor, my name's Ayato and I'm your new roommate."

"So your the one I saw dueling Akari last night."

"You saw that duel?" Ayato asked sounding suprised.

"I did, as did several other students."

Ayato grinned sheepishly. "So you mind showing me around, this dorm is much bigger than Slifer's."

"I wouldn't mind at all, just follow me."

A bit later Ayato was outside the school walls being chased by lovestruck girls again. He decided he could lose them deep inside the forest. Which led him to the abandoned dorm. 'Wow talk about run of the mill.' Ayato thought. Just then he heard the sound of rustling bushes. Ayato turned quickly in the direction of the sound. "Show yourself whoever you are."

A rabbit jumped out of the bushes nearly giving him a heart attack.

"Well as long as I'm here it wouldn't hurt to take a look inside."

Ayato obsevered the inside of the abandoned dorm. 'It sure is creepy in here', he thought to himself. Ayato then came across a tablet that had pictures of the Millenium items on them, but he decided to ignore it. Ayato then came across a door. He opened it and walked in. The floor gave way and he began to fall, that is until someone grabbed his hand.
