Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Dueling of Drakness ❯ A New Beginning ( Chapter 1 )
[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
I don't own any anime.
For years people have been a fan of Kingdom Hearts, and Yu-Gi-Oh. They loved it so much they couldn't get enough of either one. Then, one day, someone thought of a way to enjoy both at the same time. This man was the master at both Kingdom Hearts, and Yu-Gi-Oh. He enjoyed killing the Heartless in Kingdom Hearts, and the design of monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh. He decided to make a card game, a card game everyone would enjoy. He called the game, “Dueling of Darkness”.
A boy named Ryuke was a huge fan of the new game. There was a record of the “top ten”. Ryuke was apart of them, but he was at rank 10. Normally, he just duels for fun. That's how he made it to the “top ten”, by winning every single duel he's been in. This card game is kind of similar to the Yu-Gi-Oh card game; only you summon Heartless in this game. It was another day at school. Ryuke was in Seventh Grade, School was the only place he never wanted to be, because he never got to duel. He only got to duel when everyone went outside.
Ryuke: “Man, I hate coming to school. I can never duel!”
???: “Oh, stop whining. You can duel when we leave.”
That was Rikku, his best friend. They've been friends ever since they were kids. But, what Ryuke doesn't know, is that she's had a crush on him ever since they first met.
Rikku: “It's almost time for A.T. You and I can duel then if you want.”
Ryuke: “Okay! You know, we are like the best duelists in the entire school. Not even the Eighth Graders can beat us.”
???: “Is that right?”
That was Leon, also in Seventh Grade, and Ryuke's arch rival.
Ryuke: “What do you want!?”
Leon: “I heard you say that you were the best duelist in the school. I think you forgot that I'm the best. You couldn't beat me even if your life depended on it.”
Ryuke: “Oh yeah? That how about a match?”
Leon: “You're on! I actually enjoy beating you at every duel we have.”
Ryuke: “Well, you better put your deck where your mouth is, because I'm not going to lose to you this time!”
Outside
Everyone was gathered outside to see the match.
Leon: “Well, let's begin. I'll start it off with, Bolt Tower.” [HP was 34, STR was 12]
Ryuke: “Humph. I summon, Cannon Gun!” [HP was 36, STR was 21]
Two Heartless appeared on the field.
Rikku: “Yeah! That's a good way to start things off!”
Ryuke: “Cannon Gun, attack! `Recoil shot'!”
Cannon Gun shot a fire ball at Bolt Tower. Bolt Tower's HP was reduced to 0, and the Heartless disappeared.
Leon: “Not bad, Ryuke. But not good enough. I summon Crimson Jazz!” [HP was 107, STR was 29]
Leon: “Now, Crimson Jazz. `Large Mines'!”
Crimson Jazz planted three large mines around Cannon Gun, and exploded. Reducing Cannon Gun's HP to 0, and disappeared.
Ryuke: “Man!”
Leon: “You just have weak Heartless, Ryuke. Why don't you just give up?”
Ryuke: “No! I'll never give up! I summon, Graveyard!” [HP was 215, STR was 39]
Leon: “Hmm?”
Ryuke: “Graveyard, use `Pumpkin Slash'!”
Graveyard slashed Crimson Jazz, reduced its HP to 0, and it disappeared.
Leon looked in his hand, and didn't see any Heartless that was stronger then Ryuke's.
Leon: “I summon, Fat Bandit.” [HP was 135, STR was 22]
Leon: “Fat bandit, use `Flame Shot'.”
Fat Bandit Shot a fireball out of its mouth and hit Graveyard. It reduced its HP to 193.
Ryuke: “Hmm. I summon, Gargoyle Knight! But, I'm not finished there. Gargoyle Knight has a special ability, when he's summoned; I get to summon Gargoyle Warrior also!” Both: [HP was 62, STR was 15]
Ryuke: “Attack!”
All three attacks reduced Fat Bandit's HP to 66.
Leon: “Alright, now I get serious. I sacrifice Fat Bandit, to summon, Shadow Stalker.” [HP was 176, STR was 15]
Leon: “Shadow Stalker, use `Chandelier Attack'!”
Shadow Stalker was above Graveyard, Gargoyle Knight, and Gargoyle Warrior. It turned into a chandelier, and dropped on top of them, reducing their HP to [Graveyard, 178, Gargoyle Knight and Warrior, 47].
Ryuke drew a card, and it was just the one he needed.
Ryuke: “I sacrifice Graveyard, Gargoyle Knight, and Gargoyle Warrior, to summon Volcanic Lord!” [HP was 351, STR was 22] “And now, his special ability activates! You see, when there are no Heartless on my side of the field, I get to summon his partner, Blizzard Lord!” [HP was 351, STR was 22] “But wait, another special ability. When these two Heartless are on the field, I can summon their small counter parts, Icy Cube, and Fiery Globe!” [Icy Cube, HP was 24, STR was 21. Fiery Globe, HP was 27, STR was 22]. “Now my Heartless! Attack!!”
All four attacks reduced Shadow Stalker's HP to 89.
Leon: “Go, use `Flame Shot'.”
Shadow Stalker turned into a chandelier, and fire burst out and hit all four Heartless.
[Volcanic Lord's HP, 336]
[Blizzard Lord's HP, 336]
[Icy Cube's HP, 9]
[Fiery Globe's HP, 12]
Ryuke drew a card.
Ryuke: “I will now sacrifice Icy Cube, and Fiery Globe to summon, Thresholder!” [HP was 137, STR was 15] “Now, attack!”
Shadow Stalker's HP was reduced to 30.
Leon: “You're doing well, Ryuke. You're so close to beating my Heartless.”
Ryuke: “Yeah, and you should know, if you have a Heartless Boss on the field and its HP reaches 0, you lose the duel.”
Leon: “Yes, that's true. But you have to beat my Heartless to win. I summon, Lance Soldier.” [HP was 62, STR was 15] “Go, attack his Thresholder.”
Both Heartless reduced Thresholder's HP to 107.
Ryuke: “Like that's going to do you much good! Now, Volcanic Lord and Blizzard Lord! Attack his Shadow Stalker!”
Both Heartless reduced its HP to 0, and Shadow Stalker lied there motionless.
Ryuke: “Yeah! I did it! I-!”
Leon: “You fell right into my trap.”
Ryuke: “What are you talking about? I beat you Heartless!”
Leon smiled. “That's where you're wrong. My Heartless has a special ability. When its HP reaches 0, I'm able to sacrifice one Heartless, to make him evolve. Now, I sacrifice Lance Soldier, to transform Shadow Stalker to, Dark Thorn!” [HP was 390, STR was 15] “Dark Thorn, attack Thresholder with `Claw Attack'!”
Dark Thorn spun like a drill and hit Thresholder three times, reducing its HP to 62.
Ryuke: “Man, I need to find a way to beat his Heartless before he beats mine! A couple more attacks like that, and it's over!” He drew a card. “This won't do me any good, but hopefully buy me some time.” “I summon, Toy Soldier!” [HP was 143, STR was 24] “Attach his Dark Thorn!”
All attacks reduced its HP to 307.
Leon: “Dark Thorn, attack his Thresholder with `Claw Attack'!”
Thresholder's HP was reduced to 17.
Ryuke: “I need to do something quick! One more blow, and I lose!” He drew a card. “Yes! This will help me for sure!” “I sacrifice Volcanic Lord, Blizzard Lord, and Thresholder,”
Leon: “What!?”
Ryuke: “, to summon, my strongest Heartless, Storm Rider!!” [HP was 1216, STR was 34]
Leon: “No!! This can't be!!”
Ryuke: “Now, attack his Dark Thorn!”
Both Heartless reduced its HP to 249.
Leon: “I summon, Neoshadow.” [HP was 75, STR was 32] “Neoshadow, attack his Toy Soldier, and Dark Thorn, attack his Storm Rider.”
Neoshadow reduced Toy soldier to 111, and Dark Thorn reduced Storm Rider to 1171.
Ryuke: “Storm Rider, attack his Dark Thorn with `Thunder Beam'! Toy Soldier, attack his Neoshadow!”
Toy Soldier just shot Neoshadow, reducing its HP to 51; Storm Rider landed on the ground and shot a huge blast of thunder at Dark Thorn reducing its HP to 219.
Leon drew a card. “I summon, Hot Rod. Neoshadow, Hot Rod, attack Toy Soldier.”
Both Heartless reduced Toy Soldier to 60.
Leon: “Dark Thorn, attack Storm Rider.”
Dark Thorn reduced Storm Rider's HP to 1126.
Ryuke drew a card. “I summon, Bookmaster! Now, my Heartless, attack Dark Thorn!”
Dark Thorn's HP was reduced to 134.
Leon drew a card. “Hmm, it's been a great duel. But this has to end here.”
Ryuke: “No, you mean, you have that card?”
Leon: “I sacrifice Hot Rod, Neoshadow, and Dark Thorn, to summon my strongest Heartless, Groundshaker!” [HP was 1424, STR was 40]
Ryuke: “No, I can't win now.” He was no his knees. “It's no use, this is it. I give up, you win.”
Leon: “Hmm, I knew you'd come to your senses.”
Then, the school bell rang. Everyone was cheering for Leon's victory, the only ones who weren't cheering at all was Ryuke and Rikku.
School was over, and Ryuke and Rikku were going home.
Ryuke: “Man! I couldn't help it! I chickened out!”
Rikku: “Don't worry, I would have too.”
Ryuke: “This sucks! I'm just no match for him.”
Rikku: “Don't worry, I believe in you. You'll beat him someday. I just know you will.”
