Chapter 1: can't I make my own enemies?
It was Friday morning, the day before battle city started. School was today, so I had to wake up at 5:45 to get ready. I slowly got out of bed, as I normally do, and got dressed. I put on the boys uniform, since I despised skirts. I looked at my ankle to see if my anklet was still on. It was one of the three anklets I made for me, Sammy, and Kaitlyn. I made a story about us being super cool, badass biker gang. I was the leader, Vampira, because I like vampires. The anklet had white string in the center, and was French knotted with red string. It had round beads that were in the order of purple, hot pink, light pink, and white. Then it ended with a white star, and went in reverse order.
I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and comb my hair. I looked at myself in the mirror to see the my hair looked like a rat crawled in, made a nest, and ran out. That was the first thing to fix. I brushed my hair until it was strait again. I finish preparing for school, I ran to the dining room for breakfast. I decided that since I had 5 minutes to leave, I'd pick up a pop-tart and leave. I met Sam & Kaitlyn outside the game shop. Robbie usually takes a limo, due to his dad's demands. We went to the sexist school that makes girls wear super short skirts. We met Robbie at the front gates and went inside. School slinked on slowly, just to piss me off. Finally school was over, so we could go home. That is, until Baily Jackson decided to challenge me to a duel. She was the worst person to associate with. She has black, frizzled hair, and brown eyes. I wiped my nose once and she had to be a bitch about it. But, I had my friends with me to back me up. "well, well, well, look who it is," Baily says to me "ready for my new deck to wipe the floor with you?"
"you ready to stop being a bitch?" I shot back. I got my duel disk ready for a duel. It's my dad's old battle city duel disk he gave me when I started out.
"duel" we both said
Baily: 4000
Melony: 4000
"I call first" I said. I had Familiar-Possessed Wynn, Pandaborg, swords of revealing light, Kuribon, magic cylinder, and I just drew Dian Keto the cure master. "I'll start by putting Kuribon (300/200)* in defense mode" I said, while my favorite fury friend appeared on the field, "I'll but a card face down, and end my turn, your go". "nice, for a five-year-old" Baily said, drawing her card. "first, I summon armed dragon LV 3 (1200/900), in attack mode". An orange and silver baby dragon appeared on the field, ready to try and do damage. "now, take out that annoying puff ball!" Baily demanded. Her dragon came at Kuribon at full force, perfect. "I activate magic cylinder!" I said adding my signature "gocha!". She snarled as her dragon went through one cylinder, out the other, and strait to her.
Baily: 2800
Melony:4000
"I'll set 2 cards down, and end my turn" Baily again snarled at me. I drew a card, and it was Wynn the wind charmer(500/1500). Thank you heart of the cards! "I set one monster in defense mode, and play swords of revealing light, so you can't hurt sweet little Kuribon anymore" I said, playing out the said moves. I was in the zone! "your turn" I taunted. She snarled again and drew a card. "first, I use my dragon's effect to bring out armed dragon LV 5 (2400/1700)!" she shouted. The little baby dragon disappeared, and was replaced by larger red and silver dragon. I knew the effects, and was scared she'd hurt Kuribon.
"kuri, kuri!" a worried Kuribon shouted. "no worries, I've got this all under control" I reassured her. Hopefully, she didn't have any monsters, or we'll be screwed. " next, I'll play dragons gunfire," she declares as a spell card appears "Here's how it works: If I have a dragon-type monster out I can A) cause you 800 points of damage or B) take out a monster with 800 defense points or less, so say good bye to your sweet little Kuribon". I see her dragon charge up an attack to destroy Kuribon. I wish I had some way to save her, but I didn't have anything but her effect. "now, get rid of that hairball with dragon's gunfire!" she demanded. Her dragons breathe broke through the swords, heading straight for Kuribon! "I'm sorry" I whispered, as she was taken out. I placed her in the graveyard, feeling guilty for not saving her. " don't worry, I'll avenge you" I mentally promised. Luckily, she ended her turn to start my own. I drew graceful dice, but I was ending this, here and now. "first, I flip summon Wynn the wind charmer," I said, with anger evident in my voice "and I use her effect to take your dragon". "WHAT!" she cried as her dragon became mine. "now armed dragon, Wynn, take her out". Both monsters attacked, but the dragon was stuck on a wheel. "I activate the trap, nightmare wheel, meaning only your charmer gets me!" Baily screechs, as Wynn slams her staff into her.
Baily: 2300
Melony: 4000
"DAMN YOU!" I yelled in my head. "I end my turn" I growled. "Don't forget nightmare wheel" Baily taunted.
Baily: 2300
Melony: 3500
"My turn" she said, drawing another damn card. "I banish spear dragon, petit dragon, and blizzard dragon to summon montage dragon (3000/0), in attack mode!". "holy crap, I'm in trouble!" I thought in head. I was lucky I had my swords, or I'd be screwed. "Since you have your swords, my dragon is stuck, you I'll throw it back to you" Baily says, trying to taunt me.
I drew a card, mirror force, perfect. "first I'll play Pandaborg (1700/1400), in defence mode" I say, "now I place a card face-down and end my turn". I finished my turn, taking the 500 points of damage from nightmare wheel.
Baily: 2300
Melony: 3000
The swords disappeared as Baily drew a card. "First, I'll have my dragon have a try at your Pandaborg" Baily says, her dragon charging a multi-colored ray in it's mouthes. Perfect, she fell for my trap. Her dragon had a burst of multi-colored energy, heading for Pandaborg, perfect. "I activate the trap, mirror force!" I shouted. "WHAT!" Baily screached. A force field srounded Pandaborg, Baily's attack bouncing off the force field and hitting her montage dragon. It screeched as it bursted into a million peices. "I put a card face down and end my turn" Baily snarls, angry about the lost of her dragon.
"My turn" I say, drawing a card. It was spellbinding circle. "I summon Familiar-Possessed Wynn(1850/1500), in defence mode" I declare, "and I put a card face-down, and end my turn".
Baily: 2300
Melony: 2500
"My turn" Baily said, anware of the trap I've set. "Now my Luster Dragon, take out that stupid Pandaborg!". Wow, shes a bigger idiot than I thought. "I activate my trap, spellbinding circle!" I declared. Her dragon was stuck in the middle of a circle that stopped in it's tracks. "I'll end my turn" she snarled again.
"My turn!" I say, ready to take her down. I drew mistical space typhoon. "How about I make things fair by using graceful dice!" I delcared. A little gambler with wings showed up, throwing a blue die. I prying for a number that whould crush her dragon. It landed on... BOYAH! 5! "Now Pandaborg and Wynn gets a boost" I taunted her. "Now, Pandaborg, take out that dragon" I demanded, and Pandaborg complies.
Baily:2000
Melony: 2500
"And now, Wynn, take out the rest of her life points!" I demanded.
Baily: 0
Melony: 2500
"nice work" I hear Sammy say. I was finally able to get home, only to find parents holding something. It was an ancient Egyptian necklace that had the eye of Horus on it. It looked cool, but why did my parents have something like that? "mama, daddy?" I asked. They looked at me with so much guilt in their eyes, and I didn't know why. "Melony, we need to talk" my dad states. Oh no, they need to "talk" with me, not good. "you know those old stories we said about a pharaoh who had to save the world?" my mother asked. "yeaaaaaaaah" I stretched to let them know I have no idea what's going on. "well, they weren't stories, they really happened" my mother says. I went bug-eyed. ATEM WAS REAL! "we know because he was part of me for quite some time" my dad says "he was one of my best friends, but we just discovered something" my dad moved closer to me and said "one of our old friend, Ishizu Ishtar, said that she found something in Egypt, and it has to do with your destiny". I slightly winced when he said "destiny". It reminded me of Aster Phoenix, and the way he beat my favorite pro, Zane Truesdale (1). "you're the reincarnation of Atem's daughter, Ira, who was princess of Egypt" my dad continued " and she wore this". My dad then put the necklace from before on me. "it's called the millennium necklace, Ishizu once wore it, but now it's yours" he told me. I looked at it in awe. It looked so beautiful, I never wanted to take it off.
That night, as I was getting ready for bed, it happened. I got on a pink pj shirt with my pink yoga pants. I was about to get in bed, when a rock flew through my window. I started screaming and my parents busted through the door. Mom tried to make sure I wasn't cut by the glass, and dad inspected the rock. It had a paper that said : "the seal of Orichalcos shall return, and theres nothing you can do to stop it". I had no idea what it meant, but I was scared. My dad was scared stiff, and my mom had a look of horror on his face. I asked then why they were scared, but all they said was that they'd tell me tomarrow. I fell asleep, hoping that this was all some sick joke.
(1) I thought that I'd add some GX elements for the hell of it.
