Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my work. I'm a beginner at this kind of writing so any constructive criticism would be appreciated because I would like to continue this story more but I need feedback at the same time so I know my work is not going to waste. Enjoy hopefully.
Notes: This fan fiction is dueling central, it has talking but I'm trying to make it like 70% Dueling and 30% story or something along the lines of that. Also these cards are all TCG and OCG cards. I will not use fake cards unless I really really like a card I've seen in anime. I will not make up my own because I fell it wouldn't be right for this. Also the decks these people use are real life decks me and my friends have made/use and written down. They are not jumbled together junk decks. And finally during the duels I like to tell the hand size, attack points and life points because I think being a specific as possible is nicer to read.
Era: Yu-Gi-Oh 5D
Location: Conterfern City
City Info: Though not the richest city like in the world New Domino City it's not the poorest either like the Satellite. It's the kind of city that cries for help as the economy struggles and the population dwindles due to fact the people are moving out to better places. As for dueling well the best way to describe it is if your a duelist than your the cities bums. Sure the children like to play it to pass time since they don't have jobs, but as for the older folks it's not a popular thing like it use to. You either work for the factories or mom and pop shops which has dramatically grown up to ninety percent, or you make your living by dueling which has dramatically declined to seven percent.
Working The Duel World
Chapter 2: Burning Down the Real Estate
As the bus was halting to it's last stop before heading back to town Snake grabbed his bad and hoped off to look for the building.
Then turning his head to the left he noticed a run down storage facility with a man in a business suit walking around the outer perimeter carrying a brown briefcase.
"Excuse are you the realtor of this building?" Snake asked walking towards the man in black
"Huh? Oh are you interested in buying this building? Please follow me I'll show the inside." said the businessman who surprised to see a interested buyer.
As Snake followed the man he noticed the ground was not covered in anything but dirt ground and lots of dust. As for the building itself it was an eye sore to look at because the original paint was gone and graffiti was the only colorful thing left sprayed all over the place.
"Though the outside doesn't look as nice as most places, a little sweet could make it at least decent to look at" he said as he was fumbling through the keys and leading Snake to the entrance of the facility.
"As you can see each doors are ten feet high seven feet across so it could easy to get your storage goods into the building" he also added as he was unlocking the double doors.
"Well me and my colleague are not in the storage business, we're looking for a building that could be our base for our organization." said Snake as he was writing down some notes on his notebook he took form his backpack.
Looking around he could see all the windows were broken with glass shattered everywhere with scraps of metal torn off the walls which were rusting. Also the only stairwell that leads to the only office looks like it would fall apart if he took one step on it. And the fact that the dust was so dense it would be hard to breath in here after another five minutes.
"Well after taking in consideration the flaws and doing my own calculations I would say the best price you would get for this place is $80,000. And takes being generous, I suggest you take it because I don't anyone else would be stupid enough to come all the way out here take glance of this building and still pay $300,000." he said as he was now staring down the businessman.
"Excuse me but I'm the one who would know the going price since I'm the real estate agent here" claimed the business man who was now getting defensive
"Oh is that so huh? Well how much you want to bet if I call another Real Estate agency and ask them to come over here and inspect this building and still give me the same price you did? And better yet what would the chances be that they would condemn this building for major safety issues and bring in a wrecking crew and demolish this place?" said Snake as he pulled out his cell phone form his back pocket while accidently dropped one of his cards that was stuffed back there.
"Who are you calling?" questioned the man who was now getting very frustrated with the potential buyer
"I'm calling the city building safety committee. I'm sorry but this building is very unsafe and I have no choice but to report this building." bluffed Snake as he was dialing some random number into the screen.
"Hello? Is the building safety committee? Yes, OK my name is Snake and I have a major safety compliant about a storage facility on the outskirts of town and I'm afraid major human accidents could occur if something doesn't can send a inspector? Great, hold on. Excuse me sir whats this buildings address?" asked Snake while the business man looked like he was going to have a panic attack.
"Wait, I'll sell you this place for $150,000. How does that sound I cut the price in half Pretty good deal huh?" he said as he was stumbling through his own words.
"I'm waiting." said Snake as he was impatiently holding the phone against his ear.
As the man was panicking his eyes glimpse a rectangular shape card on the ground and picked it up and started to laugh.
"Well, well, well. Looks like my buyer is a duelist. Can't say I'm surprised though seeing how your haggling me with your street ways. l make your a deal, if you beat me in a duel I'll sell it for $80,000. But if I win you'll buy it for double my original price. What you say?" said the business man as he took out his duel disk from his brief case.
Snake stared for a second and smirked as he always likes it when everything goes exactly how he planned it. Then hung up the phone and and grabbed his red red duel disk from his backpack.
"OK you have a deal, sir. Though you don't know my strategy I could be a ex-champion for all you." laughed Snake as he shuffled his deck.
"Well either way I'm getting payed after this duel, and I doubt some smooth talking punk can beat me since I use to spend most of my free time traveling and dueling." remarked the suited man shuffling his deck.
Snake LP: 8,000
Businessman LP: 8,000
"I'll start things off, so tough luck man." said Snake as he drew his card (S Hand:6)
"I really don't want to stay to long in this building so I'll make this quick, go Solar Flare Dragon!"
A fiery portal appears in front of him as a snake slithers out and hisses at the man than catches on fire.
"Then I'll set three face downs and I'll end my turn." smirked Snake as three vertical cards appeared behind the fire serpent. (S Hand: 2)
"Fine than I'll make this quick as well." stated the suited man drawing his first card.
"Oh yea I forgot to tell at my end phase when Solar Flare Dragon is out you take 500 damage." chuckled Snake
Inhaling a chunk of the dust in the serpent spit out a large fiery ball at his opponent
Businessman LP: 7,500
"Ha, that was nothing I'll show you a move." looking at his hand (B.M. Hand:6)
"I think I'll start off by summoning my Dream Clown." as the card was set Snake could hear a maniacal laughter as a the purpled hair clown slowly steps out of the hazy portal.(Attack 1,200)
"Than I'll activate my magic card Earthquake, which switches all monsters to monsters to defense mode." said the business man as the ground around them started to shaking and forcing Solar Flare and Dream Clown into the hurtle position.
(Dream Clown Defense: 800; Solar Flare Dragon Defense: 900)
"Wow you switched my monster to defense big woop" mocked Snake until he noticed Solar Flare disappearing from battle
"Thanks to my Dream Clowns effect when he goes to defense mode I can destroy one monster on your field." he laughed
"Then I'll set one card and end my turn" he said as vertical card appeared in front of him (BM Hand: 3)
"Well that was sure interesting..." drawing his card (S Hand: 3)
"OK time to get serious from my hand I'll activate my continuous magic card Wave Motion Cannon"
As the card is played a green grounded cannon appears next to Snake with a dial on the side of it.
"And this is how it works for every one of my turns that goes by the dial on this cannon goes up and when I choose to fire you take 1000 damage times the number on the dial." said Frank as the cannon started to charge.
"Then I'll set one monster and your go." (S Hand: 1)
"If I let that cannon go to high I'll defiantly lose I better finish you off faster than I would normally" said the business man drawing his card (B.M. Hand:4)
"During my draw phase I would like to activate my face down known as Zero Gravity which switches the battle position of all face up monsters on the field."
As the card disappears Dream Clown started to fly in the air as the gravity started to shift.(Attack 1,200)
"Now I'll summon another one of my creatures called Drillriod"
As the ground cracks and creates a fissure as cartooney machine with drills on it's face and hands comes up. (Attack 1,600)
"Then before I attack I'll activate my own continuous spell card Stumbling which forces each monster to defense the turn it is summoned"
Appearing face up in front him the ground turned all rocky and jagged.
"Then finally I'll switch my Dream Clown to defense mode so I can destroy your face down creature." Taking his card and turning it horizontal.
As the clown started spreading sleepy gas across the room a mechanical dog appeared form the face down card and whined as it shattered.
"Well thank sir, I was willing to take the damage but because Mecha-Dog Marron was destroyed by an effect only you take 1000 damage." laughed Snake as the spirit of the dog growled and bites the man.
Business Man LP: 6500
"Well that was annoying and convenient for you, but I still get to attack you directly with my Drillroid, attack!" commanded the suited man as the machine fired up it's engine and charged at his opponent.
"Sorry wrong, again 'cause now I'm activating my face trap Dimensional Wall and any damage I would take you take instead, sorry nice try." laughed Snake as the machine halted and charged the other direction
Business Man LP: 4900
The suited man just stood there in amazement as Snake was just laughing it up "Wow...Just...Wow...I guess I'll set one card and call it good" he said as another vertical card appeared in front of him (BM Hand: 1)
"Yes it was I thought it was hilarious" joked Snake drawing his card noticing it was the "card". (S Hand 2)
(W.M.C Count:1)
"Well I think it's time I rap things up here but first I activate my face down trap Secret Barrel, you seem to have a lot of cards. Tell me how many?" Snake asked as he was counting all the cards on the man's field.
"Uhh well I have four on the field and three in my hand so seven. Why?" confused from the stupid question.
"Well now you take 200 damage for every card on your field in hand so lets see seven times two hundred thats fourteen hundred. Fire!" he ordered as seven cannons flipped over from the ground and shot at the business man.
Business Man LP: 3500
"Then it's time for you to meet my not so little friend known as LAVA GOLEM!" throwing his card to the suited man
Catching it between his fingers he noticed it had 3000 attack. "What!? Are you getting light headed or something because you just gave my a card equivalent to Blue Eyes!" laughed the business man as he was holding it in front of Snake.
Snake smirked as the man was taunting him "I think your the light headed one sir because now your going to have to sacrifice your friends there to summon him"
Seeing his Drilliod and Dream Clown shattering before his eyes as the ground started shaking and the ground around suddenly burst under him as a thick iron cage engulfs him while a colossus lava fiend appears behind him with a lifeless stare at him. (Defense: 2500)
"Well it doesn't matter much seeing how those two combined creatures weren't even equals to this!" exclaimed the business man as he was chuckling
"I end my turn..." (Snake H: 1)
"Not even a monster wow I must of thought your were going to throw down another burn card oh well!" Laughed the business man drawing his card (B.M Hand: 2)
Before making his move he noticed the fiery beast behind him roar as a lava wave rises behind and slams against his back "Ahh whats going on!?"
Business Man LP: 2500
"Oh did I forget to tell you the special ability my Lava Golem?" taunted Snake "Well at the cost of switching control my power house you lose 1000 life points every standby phase"
Laughing because he was caught off guard "Well thats the last time I'm going to be caught off guard because now I'm going to finish you off next turn! I activate Giant Trunade which sends all spells and traps back to your hand" revealing his spell card as it rises from the ground
Feeling the gusts from the angry ocean spirit all traps and spells returned to both there hands (S Hand: 3) (B.M. Hand: 3)
"Than I'll summon my Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke!" taunted the man as a robbed dagger wielding Nina appears from the portal. (Attack: 1800)
"Now attack him directly my adversaries!" ordered the man as the ninja back slashed Snake and being hit in the front by a wave of lava
Snakes LP: 3200
"Ahhh that's smart!" coughed Snake
"It doesn't matter what you do next turn because I'll still attack directly with my two creatures and one more coming next turn!" laughed the man (B.M. Hand: 2)
Turning his grin to a frown Snake now was ticked off "We'll see about that!" drawing his card (S Hand:4)
Examing his cards while trying to figure if he should activate wave motion cannon or not
"I'll set three cards and end my turn" said Snake as three vertical cards appear before him (S Hand: 1)
Seeing what appeared in front of him the business man to frowned "Well I don't like the looks of those face downs at all...." drawing his card (B.M. Hand: 3)
Again the fiery golem smashes the suited man with a wave of lava
Business Man LP: 1500
Looking at his hand now he realized that if he doesn't make his move the probability he'll get burned next turn is to high
"But sometimes you have to take a chance. I summon Mystic Swordsman Lv 2!" (Attack: 900)
As a glowing portal appears a hooded grey hooded child jumps out with a long curved sword
"I'm going to do this strategically, don't want this to back fire. Attack Mystic Swordsmans and Grand Master Sasuke" he commanded as the two swordsman flew at Snake and slashed his chest
Snakes LP: 500
"I'm surprised you planned that attack so well knowing that if your Lava Golem attacks first it could kill you." commented Snake
"Well since your deck is based on in inflicting life points I came to the conclusion that you would activate something to back fire if I attacked with my strongest monster. but don't try to flatter me. I end my...." said the business man until he was interrupted
"Unfortunately sir your well planned attack was just to steps behind mine because I activate my facedown Ceasefire!" snared Snake as he revealed his face down which showed two men coming to written agreement
"And how fitting is it to end this duel with this card, as you see for every effect monster on the field you take 500 damage" laughed Snake as the card shot a energy wave at the suited man
"Ahhhh..you played me you assh.." yelled the man before getting hit by the blast
Business Man LP: 0
Falling to his knees the suited man couldn't believe he was suckered from the first minute he met this guy.
"Well sir I'm sorry it had to come to this but you backed yourself into that corner don't act so surprised that you lost especially since it's only natural crooks like you get whats coming to them sooner of later." he commented as he was putting his duel disk in his backpack.
"Now I suggest you take out those papers for me to sign or I'm going to have to report this incident to not only the committee but also to local the real estate agencies
so you won't be able to sell another piece of property again." said Snake as he was walking over to the business man.
Grumbling and cursing a few times the man finally got to his knees and opened his brown suitcase and took out the papers.
Rewriting a new form for the new price he handed the papers to him.
"Just sign it and get out of my face!" snarled the man as Snake was signing his name.
Handing him back the papers and putting his pack over his shoulders "I appreciate your business sir and those keys for this place will be useless to me. I'm going to call for a locksmith to come here in the next few days to change the locks." Snake stated as he headed out the twin doors and smirked at him
Now waiting at the bus stop that headed back to town Snake felt his phone vibrating in his pocket and took it out.
"Hello? Hey Hows it going? Good to hear....Listen... Yea thats right I made the deal at a much better price than we thought...Well you know a master barter never tells his secrets....OK...Yea we'll can come by tomorrow and check it out if you want to....Well the bus is here so I'll see you in 20 Tony." said Snake hanging up his phone and stepped up the stairs to the bus operator.
