Welcome all to my newest and brand new fanfic, Yugioh: Legend of the Hearts! In this story, we see if 3 duelists that don't know each other can help save a beautiful island nation from being taken over by a dark and ominous shadow . This will be combined Yugioh and Super Paper Mario story. Here are our rules. I will be using all of the current OCG/TCG rules of the game the only difference i'm doing is the Pendulum Zones will have their own slots and not take up two Spell or Trap Zones. I'm using both the current OCG/TCG banlists (OCG Current: April 2024) - (TCG Current: January 2024) and combine them to make one list for the story (I will use banned cards if I have to and will update the story to use the newest ban list changes when I have to, but these will be the main lists I'll be using. Link and Pendulum monsters will be seen and I'm going to try to use decks I've never used before to make this a very fun story. At some times, I will also use cards made by myself, other writers and cards that are only in the manga and anime (Except for the new cards seen in the Sevens and GO! Rush Animes as they are exclusive to OCG). Also, I'll be using American names, but if the Japanese names are better (Destiny Hero and Sin monsters for example), I'll use the Japanese ones. Also, when I use a "Hero" monster, It'll stay as Hero instead of the TCG way of HERO and also, for cards that are created by me and others, I'll put in GY instead of graveyard. For this chapter and future chapters, one real TCG/OCG card will have a small change in its name to make it easier to write out. With all of this said and done, let's get this story started! Like all of my stories, this story will be dedicated to my wonderful and loving mother who sadly passed away on September 1st, 2021 and is now in the heavens and my also my wonderful uncle who passed on February 28th, 2023 and my aunt who passed on in November of 2023. Miss you all a lot right now!

A large dark castle on a large island / 10:00pm
Inside of a dark room on a far away island, a lone figure was watching a crystal book infront of from him while sitting in a black chair. Next to the figure was a pedestal that held a large black book of somesorts. Nearby, a tall shadowy man with a monocle, a black cane, hat and cape was there and looking at a huge dark book and nearby was a large black crystal ball nearby.
He kept looking at his book and he resumed, ""Let's see if we can find these duelists."
"SIr, I'm here for you now.", a young femine voice said from behind.
He turned around and a young lady with pink hair and wearing thick glasses that covered her blue eyes on her pretty face walked in and he replied, "Hello, Nastasia."
She smiled and replied, "Evening, Count Bleck. What you looking for?"
"These 3 duelists that guy from Flipside wanted to invite here for a dueling convention this summer. Where could it be?"
Suddenly, a obese and chubby man with a scottish face walked in and he began to speak, "Man, what eh' day for me. What up with you, Count?"
Bleck turned to him and replied, "Fiding the descendants of those 3 legendary heroes that came to the island and sealed away that ancient foe, O'Chunks."
Suddenly, his crystal ball began to glow and he replied, "Time to see what we have here."

Grand Ole Opry / Nashville, Tennessee
Usually with only country music concerts were held there, the Grand Ole Opry was hosting the Nashville Masters Duel Monsters Tournament for the first time and it was at the final round. The duelist on the left (A 18-year old girl named Shelly) had a Blazing Inachi equipped with a Mage Power (ATK: 1,850 - 2,850) thanks to the Equip Spell and the about to be mentioned Banner of Courage). Her opponent was intresting to say at least. She had blonde hair with pink streaks through it and she wore a black shirt with a scene of a dolphin jumping out of water and also wore a black and purple skirt as well and her legs had tattoos of red skulls, stars and red roses on both of them and covering her right arm were various star, fire and flower tattoos and she had the words DEMON QUEEN tattooed across her knuckles as well. She had a facedown monster as well as 1 facedown card and had had 2 cards and her opponent had 3 cards in her hand and at that moment, Shelly had a big lead.
-o-o-o-o-o-o- (Shelly LP: 3100) -o-o-o-o- (Amber LP: 2800) -o-o-o-o-o-o-
Shelly laughed and resumed, "Time to keep my lead up on you! my monster attacks again!"
The Pyro shot a large fireball out and she smiled and resumed, "I chain your attack with my Malevolent Catastrophe."
The trap appeared and the Mage Power and Banner Cards were blown to little bits (ATK: 2,800 - 1,800) and the steed charged in and a demon-like lady with 4 black wings of various sizes and a dragon-like tail appeared on the card (DEF: 2,000) and she giggled as the fiery attack dissipated before it reached her (Shelly LP: 3100 - 2900) and Amber smiled and resumed, "Alice, Lady of Lament's defense is a bit too strong for your Pyro to beat her in battle."
Her demon let out a deep giggling noise as she heard that as well.
"Darn it. I end my turn now."
Amber drew a new card and then resumed, "I tribute my small friend for my Beast of Telwar!"
She waived and vanished into dark particles as the a tall muscular demon appeared with two crescent-shaped scimitars for weapons appeared (ATK: 2,400) and Shelly saw her monster and resumed, "That thing has some decent attack power!"
"it sure does. Destroy her Pyro!"
The demon went and slashed with his scimitars and the Pyro exploded into burning embers & ash (Shelly LP: 2900 - 2350).
"Your turn now, Shelly."
She drew a card and then resumed, "I'll set a monster and a card facedown and that's all for me."
Amber drew a card and resumed, "I summon my Gil Garth."
She played the card and the metal demon with a giant cleavor appeared (ATK: 1,800).
"I attack now."
The sworded demon went in and a UFO Turtle appeared on the card (DEF: 1,200) and was blown to pieces as the attack struck it and a 2nd Turtle appeared and the other Fiend slashed at it and smashed it into broken metal (Shelly LP: 2350 - 1950) and then a Neo Flamvell Garuda appeared (ATK: 1,200).
"Your move now."
She drew a card and then resumed, "I activate Monster Reborn to bring back my Guerilla Kite."
She played the card and a demonic-like kite appeared (ATK: 1,600).
"I now summon my Neo Flamvell Garuda."
She played the card and a large fiery-like bird appeared (ATK: 1,200).
"I tune my monsters together to Synchro Summon my Gaia Blaze, the Force of the Sun!"
The monsters glowed (*4 + *3 = *7) and they both vanished into burning embers as the mighty Pyro Synchro appeared (ATK: 2,600) and then a small explosion happened on her side of the field (Amber LP: 2800 - 2300) she smiled and resumed, "I attack both of your monsters!"
The huge Pyro charged in and slammed its fiery lance into his Gil Garth and he turned dark red before it burst into hot shards of metal and then it charged in again and he stabbed at her FIend into its side and it dropped its weapons before exploding into small black shards (Amber LP: 2300 - 800).
"Your move now."
Amber drew a card and then resumed, "Time for this. I activate my Zera Ritual."
The Ritual Spell Card appeared.
"I'll send away a Lancer Archfiend and a Archfiend Cavalry to Ritual Summon my Zera the Mant!"
She played the card and her giant sharp-clawed Fiend appeared (ATK: 2,800) and Shelly saw her monster and resumed, "That is a rare and powerful monster!"
"One of the best cards in my deck, lady. I activate my Dark World Dealings."
They both drew a card and both discarded a card and she resumed, "Since I discarded a Fiend monster like my Guerilla Kite, I can Special Summon my Diabolica the Draconique General from my hand!"
She turned pale as a larger female demon that looked like part of a demonic female and half -like a demon-like dragon appeared with a trident-like weapon (ATK: 2,300) and she smiled and resumed, "I attack and that's all for this duel."
Zera quickly rushed and slashed at her Pyro and it glowed before it exploded in a shower of fiery embers & ash and then her Diabolica quickly went and slashed at her with its weapon (Shelly LP: 1950 - 0) and a nearby announcer smiled and resumed, "We have a winner now, folks! Your Tennessee State Champion is the great Fire master Amber Loucasta!"
Everyone cheered as she raised her arms in victory.

the count's crystal ball went dark and he nodded and resumed, "A really well made Fiend Deck and powerful as well."
My niece has to have the biggest ego of any duelist I've ever seen. I bet she'll be back to our island very soo when she whines to my sister., Nastasia thought to her self and Bleck saw her and resumed, "Anything wrong, Miss Nastasia?"
She looked at her boss and nodded and then she resumed, "I'm okay, sir. That girl may be one of the ones your looking for, Count Black."
"Please!", O'Chunks said with a deep Scottish accent. "My deck would cream that kid's wussy Pyro to a pile of mush in 6 turns."
"Let's only hope you can count that high, fool.", a girl's voice said.
O'Chunks turned around and a young teenaged girl with green hair and freckles on her face appeared infront of her and she wore a white dress and O'Chunks looked at her and replied, "Damn it, Mimi! I told you not to insult me on a daily basis!"
She laughed and then replied, "Didn't gave a crap about what a whiny buffoon like you wants! Don't care at all!"
"You want to make to tug those pigtails and throw your butt in the ocean outside?"
Nastasia looked at them both and replied, "Quiet, both of you. Who ever talks again is doing extra work tonight and all day tomorrow."
They both sighed and she turned to her boss and resumed, "Anyone next, Count Bleck?"
He looked at i very closely and he replied, "Getting another vision."

"Next turn, your facedown monster is history, girl. end my turn now."

The crystal ball went out and he nodded and resumed, "A Dragon deck. It looks like a really amazing and powerful deck. I'll have to keep a eye out for that deck."
Mimi then replied, "Please, even my deck is stronger then hers and I don't even have one yet!"
Nastasia then replied," It's your duty to get one ready, Mimi. We could need you at anytime to duel."
The green haired girl sighed and replied, "Yes, madam."
She walked out of the chamber and suddenly, Bleck's crystal began to glow again and he replied, "One more to go."
He continued to look into it.

-o-o-o-o-o-o- (Anton LP: 2900) -o-o-o-o- (Jamie LP: 3300) -o-o-o-o-o-o-
Anton resumed, "Time for me to battle some more. Vorse Raider will attack facedown monster."
It rushed in and a Witch of the Black Forest appeared (DEF: 1,200) and it cut deep into the witch and blew her to little bits and she grabbed a new card from her deck.
""Your a decent duelist with some cool tattoos, lady. I end turn now."
She smiled and drew a card and then resumed, "I love the ink I have and my deck means a lot to me as well. I'll banish a Spell Card to Summon my Monoceros."
She took a Fairy Meteor Crush and banished it and a horse with a very long horn appeared (ATK: 1,000).
"I now summon my Elephun."
She played the card and a small elephant with a loud and cute squealing noise.
"I tune my monsters together."
The small Tuner glowed as it split into 2 white stars, which turned into green rings and the rings wen through her Monoceros, which turned into 3 white stars (*2 + *3 = *5).
"Galloping in the sky like thunder, crisscrossing them like a mighty gale, appear forth from the World of Myth and Legend a mighty beast of power! Synchro Summon! Charge in for battle, Thunder Unicorn!"
She played the card and a beautiful steed appeared with a powerful neigh (ATK: 2,200) and then her Tuner reappeared (DEF: 300).
"I'll weaken your Dark Blade."
Sparks appeared flying off his armor (ATK: 1,800 - 800).
"I attack your monster now."
It quickly charged in and rammed its horn into the Warrior and blew him to shards (Anton LP: 2900 - 1500).
"Your move now."
He drew a card and resumed, "Switch Vorse Raider to defense and then Set a new monster and that's all for me, miss."
She drew a card and then resumed, "I summon my Great Angus."
he played the card and a large tushed Beast appeared (ATK: 1,800).
"I attack your Vorse Raider."
It went in and rammed her horn into the Beast Warrior and blew it to small shards.

It went in and a Morphing Jar appeared (DEF: 600) and the Beast smashed it to pieces with a single kick and both nothing to discard and both drew 5 cards and then she resumed, "I'll set a card and that's all form me."
He drew a card and then resumed, "I activate Change of Heart on your Unicorn."
The infamous Spell appeared and her Unicorn was pulled to his side of the field and she groaned and replied, "I forgot that evil Spell was unbanned in the first place."
"I tribute your monster for my Choju of the Trillion Hands."
it vanished into particles of light and a golden statue-like Fairy appeared (ATK: 1,600) and he resumed, "When Choju is Summoned, I can grab a Ritual Spell Card and a Ritual monster from my deck."
He grabbed the cards and resumed, "I now activate my Synthesis Spell Ritual Spell."
It appeared.
"I'll tribute my monster and summon my Lycanthrope."
The Fairy faded away and then a savage Werewolf appeared (ATK: 2,400).
"I attack your monster."
It let out a howl as it went and slashed at the Beast and it moaned in pain before shattering to pieces (Jamie LP: 3300 - 2700) and he resumed, "You now take damage equal to each Normal monster in my graveyard and I have 9 in their right now."
She moaned in pain as 8 white phantom skulls flew from the Beast Warrior and flew right into her (Jamie LP: 2700 - 900).
"Your move now, miss."
Jamie drew a card and resumed, "I activate my Call of the Haunted."
The trap appeared and her Unicorn appeared (ATK: 2,200) and she resumed, "I now summon my Beast Striker."
She played the card and her hammer-wielding beast appeared (ATK: 1,850) and she smiled and resumed, "I attack your monster."
It quickly charged in and she resumed, "I play Shrink on your Ritual monster.'
The spell appeared and began to shrink down (ATK: 2,400 - 1,200) and he slammed its hammer down and a shockwave shot out and blew it to little bits (Anton LP: 1500 - 850) and Anton nodded and resumed, "You American duelists are really amazing. Go for the win."
"Thanks for a good duel. Unicorn, end this duel."
He glowed as the Beast charged and rammed into him (Anton LP: 2000 - 0) and the female announcer nearby nodded and replied, "Folks, we have a winner! Your Florida State Champion is the one and only Jamie Masterson!"
The crowd cheered as she smiled to the people watching the duel.

The ball went out and he nodded and resumed, "Decent she's using there. I think she may have the best deck of them all with all those monsters she's using."
Nastasia then replied, "I just noticed something, sir. The first duelist uses a deck based on a lot of Fiend monsters, the 2nd duelist uses good Dragon deck and the last ones uses a decent Beast Summon Deck. These decks are really powerful."
Bleck nodded and replied, "I noticed that too, Nastasia. If they come to the island, make sure my troops keep a close on them all."
She nodded and she and O'Chunks left the room and he looked at the dark book and he laughed and replied, "With this book my side, the whole world and this silly island will soon be mine!"
"Bleh HEH HEH HEH BLECK!"
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
That ended bravely and these kids must be able to help us and stop Count Bleck before he takes over the island. Next time, we invite them them to our island and their families as well and we explain everything to them as well. Every will be explained when I, Merlon, have to explain it all and they learn about the "Future Glow" of our island. How will they take it in? Find out soon.
