Von Aries: The First Match of today will be... Azuma Tenkokin vs Leonaidis Biancho!
The cheering of the crowd hit it's maximum as the first matchup was announced. The cheers of excitement and exhilaration were almost too much for me to handle. My wrist burned at the vibrations that all the noise was making, Causing me to recoil in pain.
Von Aries: With that being said, I must bid you all adieu!
Von aries once again, Bowed to the audience.
Von Aries: In my age; staying out here would be a death sentence!
The crowd laughed at his remark despite the fact that von aries wasn't that old…
*swshhh*
The helicopter from before dropped a rope ladder down, allowing von aries to climb back up to his luxury. For a brief moment, I swear he glanced at me or maybe that was just my imagination.
Yubie: I told you my intuition wasn't wrong!
Yubie immediately replied.
Cael: Well, You basically had a 25 percent chance to get it right….
I said, Still in pain.
Yubie: *tch* I wanted to see that witch, Ohsaka duel... But this is fine too.
Yubie added.
Cael: hey at least we had a duel today... I'm surprised they didn't cancel it with this weather.
Yubie scoffed and turned her attention back to the stage where a scrawny looking man had come up.
The old man had a fringe of grey-white hair around his balding, mottled scalp. He had a wizened face and a back slightly hunched. With each movement there was the creak of old had the resigned look of one who knows that at his age life has stopped giving and only takes away. The man seemed like he was dead on the inside and was only walking around like a corpse.
?: *Cough* Hello ladies and gentlemen… I'm Wallace White and I'll be your announcer or commentator or whatever…
White: You might recognize me from "Keeping it up with wallace" From 50 years ago…?
There was a, awkward ambient silence as no one seemed to know who he was. I could almost hear the crickets chirping.
White: ….or not.
He sighed and cleared his throat.
White: Without Further ado, I'll Introduce both of These Marvelous champions.
White: Coming In at 15 years old and not getting any younger... ! Here Comes the brash and Shrewd... Azuma Tenkojin!
Out of the left most entrance came Azuma. He was wearing the same thing from Yesterday. The Brownish-orange jacket was more enigmatic in this weather and light, It somehow made him look more menacing. He looked angry as usual with a sharp frown on his face.
White: *Wheeze* Azuma First faced off against Hano Zeng In Round 1 and since then Has obliterated any Opponent that he gets in the arena with! Let's give him A hand folks...!
*Cheering* A meager amount of cheering came from the crowd.
Azuma walked mid-center of the arena and stood there eyeing the other entrance like a hawk for Leonaidis.
White: Next up is The Patient and Kind-hearted 14 year old... *Cough* Leonaidis Biancho!
Cael: (Those are the Last thing I'd describe him,I'd probably describe him as a smug jerk!)
White: In his First match he utterly demolished Ben Britland and ever since then, he has Been a threat to every duelist that crosses him!
White: Here comes the successful Heir of the Biancho corporation! Leonaidis Biancho!
*CHEERING* *SCREECHING
Unlike Azuma, the crowd was Wayyyyy More excited to see leonaidis, mostly his fangirls... and fanboys. on the right entrance to the arena is where he came onto the field. wearing his white jacket with a formal suit underneath. He had his duel disk already on his arm and had his classic smug look on his in the right side stands waved there hands out to him in which he winked at them, almost Causing them to go into ecstasy.
Wallace White cleared his throat and asked:
White: I-Is there anything you two would like to say to each other before this match begins?
I looked over to Azuma who groping the air for something... I realized that he signaling the commentator to throw him the microphone, Since leonaidis and azuma were on opposite sides of the stadium and the stadium itself was huge it was only natural that he needed it.
White: Oh right.
White realized they couldn't hear each other without the microphone. He readied his hand like throwing a football and chucked the microphone all the way across the massive stadium. It was quite impressive.
Azuma caught it with near perfection.
He tapped the microphone several times before spewing his dark words.
Azuma: Look at you disgusting bastards. Cheering and shouting like apes waiting for food.
He spat.
Azuma: Is this your entertainment? Watching two adolescents play a children's card game? What are you doing with your lives?
Azuma: Shame on you Perverts! I'm from the Shinohara Protectorate and we treat dueling as an art. Not like a whore to paraded around. As a member of the Shinohara clan I cannot let this stand
Cael: (Shinohara Clan?)
I knew that name sounded familiar. Maybe it was the "Clan." He attached next to it, that finally reminded or maybe it was his prideful demeanor, But it definetly reminded of the duelist I faced in the second round - Ryuken shinohara.
[Flashback]
October 10th 2074
Cael: Its time to finish this... Parallel Warrior Laser Man! Attack her directly And end this duel!
Laser man's vizor glowed red and shot and two laser energy disks at Ryuken, ending the duel.
Ryuken LP: 0
Announcer: Cael Abel has won the match! Give a hand For these two, folks!
*cheering*
Ryuken I lost To the Likes Of you!...My father will be so dissapointed
Cael: Hey Ryuken ... It might not be any of my business but... You shouldn't have to worry about what other people say.
I said while holding out my hand to her.
Ryuken: huh.. what do you mean?
Cael: well It was obvious That you're dueling For approval from someone...
Ryuken: What is that supposed to mean?
Cael: The way you showed no respect or even acknowledged your monsters, Those flashy constellation cards even they didn't really even help you that much" "it was all just an act, wasnt it?
Ryuken: Yes... to impress my father. He is always disappointed with me.
Cael: Ryuken. You don't need to listen to your father or anyone else about your position in life. That's unidispsutable
Ryuken: Believe in yourself huh?... I might try that...
[End]
Ryuken was a tough opponent, I nearly lost to her and her powerful fire fist monsters. the only reason I won was due to some cards left from my father.
Cael: (So Azuma is from the same place that Ryuken is from?)
I connected the dots. Meanwhile, Azuma seemed to continue his rant.
Azuma: But I don't care how you all view dueling. I only care about getting that fucking prize money.
Azuma: -And if I have to humilate this rich brat to do so, then so be it!
Azuma readied his duel disk and put his deck inside the slot. He then spiked the Mic back to wallace white.
White: Do you have any words for your opponent, Mr Biancho?
Leonaidis merely smirked and shook his head. I was confused. Usually leonaidis would come back with a sarcastic statement or something, But him just staying quiet? but instead he just put his deck in his duel disk and walked towards the center. Step by step they both walked to the center arena. With each staring at each other in an intense gaze. Azuma stopped right in front of us and Leonaidis stopped on the other side. They both Looked at each With a Duelist's Passion. The two readied their duel disks. Leonaidis had his duel disk on his arm and azuma preferred to physically hold his with his bare hands.
The both said the words we were waiting for:
"It's time to duel!"
