Origin of Dueling Monsters
-In Yuma's Classroom-
"Oh gosh, I think I am going to faint." Yuma groaned, lying on his desk.
"Well you better thank your sister for calling you up," Astral reminded, floating above him, "If it wasn't for your sister, you would have miss a day of school."
"Well I would rather miss a day of school than run to school full speed with an empty stomach." Yuma mumbled.
Then, Mr. Kay came in with a transfer student to Yuma.
"Kids, today we have a transfer student." Mr. Kay began, "Her name is Arcady Nguyen. As so, she is a 12 years old, so please be kind to her. Even though Arcady is 12, she got a perfect 100% scores on both of her 7th and 8th grade qualifying test. Now young lady, please take a seat in front of the boy in the last row on the right."
Arcady, a long black hair girl with violet eyes, follows Mr. Kay's directions and went straight towards the seat in front of Yuma.
"Hi, my name is Yuma," Yuma whispered, "but I think you call me 'sempai', right?"
Arcady just nods and turned around.
"Now class," Mr. Kay continued, "Today, we are going to learn about the Origin of Dueling Monster; and we will also visit a museum of this subject at nutrition and for the rest of the day. Also, the 9th grade students will also be joining us as well."
The whole class went wild! Everyone was cheering for joy.
"Now, now, there will be a quiz," Mr. Kay added.
Then the cheer died down to a groan. Mr. Kay chuckles quietly as the students groan because of the quiz.
"I am joking," Mr. Kay chuckled, "Though, you do have homework on what we will learn today. Okay, who could guess where duel monsters begin?"
One hand was raise up. It was Arcady.
"Yes Arcady," Mr. Kay called.
Arcady answered, "The Origin of Dueling Monsters is in Egypt many, many hundred centuries ago. The original name for duel monsters is called The Shadow Game. This game caused a great war. From what historians say, the war occurs when an evil called Zorc Necrophades was revives by the high priest, Shadow Magus. The one who fought against Zorc was titled the "Nameless Pharaoh". Though the pharaoh real name was not found in history and is still unknown till this day, many historians say that one young boy knows. What causes the war was seven mysterious objects call the Millennium Item; these items were forged from hatred and evil in people's hearts. Archeologists can't find the answer for why the priests and the old pharaoh would create such weapons. There was a record of this nameless pharaoh appearing three thousands year after. A 15 years old boy name Yu-Gi Moto, who lives in Domino City, solves one of the Millennium Item, the Millennium Puzzle and revives the pharaoh. Through his journey with the pharaoh, Yu-Gi was named the King of Duel. Two more generations of King of Duel followed after. One was a young 15 years old student name Jaden Yuki, studying on a remote island with a school there call Duel Academy, and the other was an 18 years old scientist, Yusei Fudo, saving and protecting Neo Domino City. All four of these historical characters changes humanity through dueling, they once save historical time from changing."
Everyone was shock and amaze.
"Ho-how did you kno-know so much about this?" Mr. Kay stuttered shock as well.
"I have studied about the Origin of Dueling Monsters before. I also studied it deeper. There are some monsters that Yu-Gi and the Pharaoh care and trust the most. It is the Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Kuriboh, Wing Dragon of Ra, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and Obelisk the Tormentor. Am I right, Mr. Kay?" Arcady replied.
Mr. Kay nodded, speechless.
Mr. Kay wanted to know, "Arcady, where did you learn"
-RANG!
"Oh, the bell…rang. All right students meet me at the front gate after nutrient and we will get on the bus and leave to the museum." Mr. Kay smiled, as the student ran out of the classroom, "Arcady, wait. I need to talk to you."
"Yes Mr. Kay," Arcady asked, walking to him.
Yuma, Kotori, and Astral waited as they 'eardrops' on the conversation.
"Arcady, there is no such book talk that deeply and exact as you just describe. So let me ask you again, where in the world did you learn that?" Mr. Kay continued.
Arcady stood in silence for a while and then sighed, "I have traveled around the world and study about the beginning of duel monsters. When I came to a city call Neo Domino City"
"Neo Domino City? Tha city is the oldest city in the world. No one has ever found where it rest. I can't believe it is still standing till this day." Mr. Kay interrupted, "I'm sorry, please do continue."
"When I visit that city, I found a young boy. It seems that the boy is around 7 to 8 years old. He told me that he was the only one left in the city. He did not know who his parent is or why he is here. But he took me to the NDC Science Lab and told me he was in a oval capsule when he woke up. I then took him under my care. I soon found out the boy was protected by the capsule from and enraging war in neo Domino City. As the boy travels with me, he told me everything about the origin of duel monsters. I was amaze that he knows so much the beginning of duel monsters. And that is how I knew so much of dueling monsters." Arcady explained, and let out a long sighed.
"Where is the young lad, now?" Mr. Kay wanted to know.
"He is at home with my guardian, Daniel." She replied.
The teacher nodded and grins. He told Arcady she could leave and get ready for the trip.
When Arcady step out of the classroom, Yuma jumps right in front of her and questioned, "Hey, you know about the Dark Magician, right? Could you tell me about him; like describe him for me."
"Um, I'm sorry sempai; I have to go somewhere right now. Meet you in 10 minutes, sempais." Arcady responded and ran off.
"What was that about? I just want to know something." Yuma wondered.
WHACK!
"Yuma, you were standing really close to her, like right in front of her face. How could she answer with you when you are really close to her? Of course she will run." Kotori answered, slapping her hands against each other; going up and down (cleaning her hand from whacking Yuma in the back of his head).
"Well, I didn't notice; sorry," Yuma apologized, rubbing the red bump that appeared.
Kotori spins her head around and noticed, "Have you notice that Tetsuo, Takashi, Tokunosuke and Cathy are not here today?"
"You are right," Yuma agreed, "Well I bet they are playing somewhere."
-Tetsuo, Takashi, Tokunosuke, and Cathy's houses-
ACHOOO!
"Guess someone is talking about me." They all sniffed, at the same time.
-Front Gate of the School-
"Okay, all 8th grade and 9th grade students please get on the bus." Mr. Kay announced.
A few minutes after the announcement, a crowd of students came rushing and lining up to get on the bus.
"Hey Shark, Rio, over here," Kotori waved, two siblings who was standing a few mile from them.
The siblings walk over to Kotori and Yuma. Rio, Shark's young sister. Like her brother, she has dark pink eyes and purple hair. She also have a light blue bang that pointed down.
"Hey Kotori," Rio smiled, standing next to her, "where are the others?"
"I think they are sick." Kotori replied.
Yuma was spinning his whole body around, searching for something or someone.
"Who are you looking for?" Shark questioned, still have his cold, cool face on.
"I am looking for the new student in my class." Yuma answered, covering his face from the sun.
He then spotted her. After waving for 5 minutes, Arcady then turns her head and saw Yuma. She then went over to the small group.
"Shark, Rio, this is Arcady," Kotori introduced, as Arcady came over, "she is a 12 years old student, but I guess she skipped."
"Hello, it is nice to meet you," Arcady bowed.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Rio and this is my brother, Reginald, but everyone calls him Shark." Rio returned, shaking her hand, "Do…. You want to sit with us on the bus?"
Arcady's eyes widened. She then nodded happily. When they got on the bus, they talked about duel monsters, jokes, stories, and more.
On the way to the museum, Rio questioned Arcady, "So Arcady, who do you live with?"
"I live with my butler, Daniel," she replied.
"Butler, what about your family," Kotori joined.
"My family lived far away. I'm a traveler sent by the CIA, so I kind of left them. I do visit them, though." Arcady depressed, looking outside the window.
-15 minutes after-All the students got off the bus and found themselves standing in front of an enormous building. At the front door, there was a teenage girl waiting for them. As their teachers guided them to the front door, the teenage girl with light turquoise hair tied up, greeted the group.
"Welcome to Duel Monsters Museum," she bowed, "I will be your guide today, my name is Luna."
Arcady ran up to the guide as they follow her inside. She was right next to Luna.
"Well hello," Luna smiled.
"Ms. Luna, can I ask you something?" Arcady questioned.
Luna nodded and lean down as Arcady whispered something in her ear. Luna's eyes widened when she heard the girl's question.
"How did you know?" Luna surprised.
"Do you have the card?" Arcady asked.
Luna took out a monster card or something and gave it to Arcady.
"Wow, to think that these cards are still here," Arcady grinned, "What about the others?"
"The other cards beside mine and Life Stream Dragon have gone missing a long time ago. But I am shock to even meet anyone that knew of my great, great, great, great grandmother and grandfather." Luna returned, "Oh and my twin brother, Leo works here as well."
Arcady gave the card back to Luna and back up to her friends.
"What did you ask her?" Yuma wondered.
"I ask her if she is a relative to my great, great, great, great grandmother's friends. It is that she looks just like how my great grandmother describes her; and to think that she is." Arcady explained, "And the card proves it."
"Oh," they surprised.
"Here we are," Luna began, "This is the center and main hall of the whole museum. If you ever get lost then come here students. Well first, we will go to the base of all Duel monsters spirits, Egypt. In Egypt, a pharaoh and six priests create seven items call the Millennium Items. These items are forged by evil hearts of citizen and thieves. Although there was no records why these things were built, there was a record that the pharaoh after took down an evil, Zorc, with the millennium items. We do not know his name from what historians say. 3,000 years after the Great War cause by the shadow game, a young teenage boy solves one of the millennium items and revives the nameless pharaoh. Through the adventures with the pharaoh, the young boy was titled the King of Duel. Two more generation came after that. One was a student on a remote island with a school call Duel Academy. The other one was an 18 years old teenager name Yusei Fudo. These 4 historical people changed time and spaced itself through dueling. From what the records from Yusei's time says that he save Neo Domino City and Satellite using the sign of the Crimson Dragon, he won the FFI National Competition and defeated a mortal being called ZONE, and he once traveled back in time to stop someone call Paradox from destroying the world of Duel Monsters. With the help of the two king of duels and the pharaoh, Yusei defeated Paradox and save Duel Monsters. He became a scientist after. Here is the duel runner that Yusei Fudo use to defeat, the Dark Signer, ZONE, and Paradox."
A red motorcycle with a white stripe stood in a case for all to see. The students crowded around the duel runner and examine it.
"Wow, this thing is cool!" one of the students complimented.
Everyone else agreed. Yuma eyes were sparkling when he saw the runner. Arcady stands in the back with a grin on her face.
"You already knew about it, right?" Luna came over, questioned.
Arcady nodded, "you knew that I am not from here right?"
"Yes, my grandmother retold the story about how great, great; great, great Grandmother and her friends met a young girl your age who loves to travel. She disappeared right after defeating a monster." Luna replied, "Arcady how"
-"Arcady, come over and look at this!" Kotori called, interrupting Luna.
Arcady bows to Luna and ran over to Kotori, responding, "Coming Sempai!"
"Now, please come this way. I will show you the deck that Yusei used." Luna continued.
They continue their tour of the place. As they go through the museum, students were even more amazed. When they were eating lunch at, Shark return to the duel runner without anyone noticing or so he thought. When he got to the duel runner, Shark examines it deeply. He puts his hand on the case with a serious face.
"A duel runner ha," Shark thought.
"What are you doing here?" A voice questioned.
Shark turns around and found Kaito standing in front of him.
"I am here for a school work. The 8th and 9th grade students get a trip to the museum to learn about the origin of duel monsters. What about you?" returned Shark.
Kaito answered, "I am here to do a research on the beginning of duel monsters. This seems to be the only place that has artifacts of the past."
"Sempai, what are you doing here? Everyone one was searching for you?" Arcady called.
Yuma came running behind her. Yuma notice Kaito and was confused.
"Kaito what are you doing here?" Yuma wanted to know.
"The same thing as us; learning about the beginning of duel monsters." Shark answered for Kaito.
Kaito notice Arcady and walked towards her, asking, "Who are you?"
Arcady plainly responds his cold question, "I am a transfer student in Yuma's class. My name is Arcady, nice to meet you."
"Kaito if you're doing research on duel monster's histories, then why don't ask Arcady for facts. She is the one in my class that informed everything about the history of dueling in our class." Yuma suggested.
Shark and Kaito quickly stare at her in amazement
"Is there a problem with that?" Arcady glared.
The two boys shook their head, still keeping their cool. Suddenly, a small towel covered Arcady, Shark, Kaito, and Yuma mouth and nose. Then, they all felt sleepy and fell down. Arcady tried to stayed awake, but couldn't. She tries to define who was there, even though everything was blurry. Arcady could only see four blurry black figures. After, the light was out.
