Chapter 9: At Super Sonic Speed
Silver's POV
"Good day fellow Duelist!" said the rich famous Pegasus. I stood next to 'Jane', who was looking at him with a bored expression. You see, her real name is Jaylen, but she's very cautious about identity theft. I don't know why, but she is. I tugged lightly on my green shirt, showing the deck that I hid in my pocket. I'm pretty surprised that Pegasus would actually invite me. I mean, yes, I secretly play duel monsters, but even then its always in a secret place! Pegasus rambled on about the rules, how to play, and also have fun. There's only one part I had to pay attention to, and that was the necessities.
"As most of you know, your invitation came with a red glove and 2 star chips. Collect all ten of the star chips to be able to face off against me, the master of card games!" I raised one eyebrow and looked at the velvet glove on my left hand. Heh, done. "also remember the lucky people who make it into the finals need those two cards. Or at least one of the two." I looked to my right hand. I saw the blank card and the card that had coins and gold raining in the picture. I shoved them in my pocket. Check. "the surroundings around you will be place to set up a duel. Just make sure you find the right spot that will go well with your deck!"
"Oh, and let's not forget," Pegasus added, taking a sip of wine. "We have a special guest with us today." I caught a glance a Jaylen. She was bored out of her mind at his speech, and she rolled her eyes a his statement. "for the whole duelist kingdom, one of the many competitors will be the famous," he paused for a dramatic affect. "Sonic the Hedgehog!"
"WHAT?" I shouted over the screaming crowd. Oh no, not Sonic! Not him! Anyone BUT HIM! Sonic has to constantly show off! How am I suppose to WIN with super-showoff-speed around? Jaylen saw that I was freaking out inside. "
"Say," she said with a hint of tease in her voice, "Don't you know him?" I was about to answer until I heard Joey, Tristan, Tea, and Yugi come up behind me.
"Hey its Sonic!" said Joey, pointing up to the stage where Sonic stood there waving.
"Do you think he'll come and meet yugi?" asked Tristan
"Just because I'm good at a game automatically means he's going to walk up to me just to meet me? I don't think so, even then, I guess that would be pretty cool." said Yugi, his face going a little pink.
"hey look!" Tea cheered, "He brought friends! Look! There's Amy, Tails, Knuckles, and Blaze!" My eyes widened at Blaze. Blaze was here? Other than Jaylen and Ryou, she was my best friend, that is until we separated. I smiled and shouted, "BLAZE! LOOK! ITS ME SILVER!" I said waving my arms around wildly. She didn't look, only stood by Amy's side, waving gracefully.
"Now," Pegasus announced, "Let the Games begin!"
"Blaze!" I said as I ran up to her.
"Silver?" she answered turning around, "You're here?"
"yeah I'm dueling. Are you here to support Sonic?"
"Sadly yes. I promised him I'd stay back with him until he reached the finals."
"very determined now isn't he?"
"Yes."
I chuckled at our conversation. "I have to go," she said, "Good luck Silver." Blaze pecked my cheek and ran back to Sonic. Ah Blaze. You really are great. I walked back to Jaylen, who had found Ryou and was talking with Yugi's group.
"We should split up." Ryou suggested. "It's the best way to make sure that we all get into the finals." We nodded in agreement. "On three," Yugi said putting his hand in the middle of our huddle. Joey did the same, the Tristan, Then Tea, then Jaylen and I. Ryou Left his hand down, staring at them as if we were something new and confusing. He cautiously placed his hand on Jaylen's, blushing a dark red and smiling sheepishly. "1...2...3!" Yugi chimed. We all piped in together at his next chime, full of glee and determination.
"LET'S DO THIS!"
