Inspired by various SIOC, this is my take from square one.
I typed away at my chapter documents, trying to keep-up with the demand of my readers. But, the inevitable occurred.
Writer Block.
I groaned and saved the document I was working on.
I need to take a break.
Sighing, I went on YGOPRO and looked over my current decks.
My most played decks are Abyss Actor and Metalfoes. They are fun decks.
But they aren't in anime.
And after seeing YuGiOh ARC-V episode 135, I wondered what would happen. The wiki didn't help sate my curiosity ether, in the matter.
Anyway, I looked at the decks I made, one for each attribute and archetype.
Abyss Actor
Metalfoes
Speedroid
Dinomist
Lightsworn
Amorphage
All tricky to play, but very powerful.
Of course, there's also the prototype deck I dubbed Zarc. The extra deck is filled with high attack power monsters, so all I need is to use one of the high-leveled Majus and I got a powerful beat stick. No 'dimension dragons', but effective.
The decks are great and all, but... I wish I was in the anime. My life lacks excitement, so I need something to get my blood pumping.
After looking at my deck profile, Iris Magician, Black Fang Magician, Violet Poison Magician, and White Wing Magician all started glowing. Suddenly, I clutched my chest in pain and muttered out, "W-what the heck...?"
I then blacked out.
Slowly, I opened my eyes and noticed that I was in a white room. A voice asked, "Are you okay?" My eyes moved, before widening as REIJI AKABA is helping me up. Trying to keep a cool head, despite the splitting headache, I asked, "What happened?" "You were found collapsed in the square on LDS campus with a deck and duel disk, nothing else." I slowly nodded as he asked, "How did you get here?" I thought back before finally saying, "I... don't know..." I looked around and asked, "Where am I, anyway?" "You're in the medical wing. Can you tell me your name?"
My name? I'm in an anime, but my accent is American.
"It's Elbert." "Well, Elbert, can you tell me about yourself?" I looked away and spoke, "I don't remember anything..." Reiji nodded before the room became silent.
He then offered, "How would you like to attend my school and become my younger brother?"
I looked at him like he was crazy.
A few hours later...
I shyly greeted the massive room of students, "Hi. I'm Elbert. Nice to meet you..." As I scanned the room, something stood out to me: where's Shingo Sawatari? The class looked at me, uninterested as the period went on.
During free period, I sat by myself, trying to mind my own business. However, a female voice asked, "So, what do you think of our school?" I stole a glance and saw who it was. Before I could answer, an arrogant voice questioned, "Why is a new-be talking to a top student?" I looked to see the stooges of Sawatari's club as a member continued, "You don't deserve to talk to-!" I recited in a monotone voice, "Masumi Kotsu, takes Fusion branch of LDS. Uses Gem-Knights as her deck, and can beat your asses seven ways to Sunday." She tried to hold in her laughter as the stooges fumed. A different stooge demanded, "Duel all three of us in a battle royal. Right here, right now!" I shrugged and spoke disinterested, "Whatever." I almost didn't noticed a crowd of students gathering as the four of us shouted, "DUEL!"
Student 1, 2, 3 (4000) vs Elbert (4000)
Hands: 5
Student 1 declared, "I'll go first! I discard 1 card to special summon The Tricky!"
The Tricky
Level: 5
Attribute: Wind
Type: Spellcaster/Effect
ATK: 2000
"I now set 2 cards face-down and end my turn!"
Student 2 shouted, "Next up is me! I play Monster Reborn, summoning Cosmo Queen my friend discarded to summon his monster!"
Cosmo Queen
Level: 8
Attribute: Dark
Type: Spellcaster
ATK: 2900
"Next, I set 3 cards face-down and end my turn!"
Stooge 3 spoke, "My turn. I set my entire hand face-down and end my turn."
I glanced at their fields again before bluntly speaking, "Sloppy. Just plain sloppy." Masumi giggled as I spoke, "My turn." I finally looked at my hand and scoffed. "Too easy."
I plucked a card out of my hand and started, "First, I normal summon Illegal Keeper." A gun-slinger monster appeared, grinning madly at the stooges.
Illegal Keeper
Level: 3
Attribute: Dark
Type: Fiend/Effect
ATK: 1300
Stooge 1 laughed and asked, "What can you do with that monster? Even though I don't know it, it's weak!" I ignored his comment and continued, "Next, I set 3 cards face-down." Slowly, I pointed at student 1 and declared, "5." I pointed to student 2 and declared, "5." I pointed to student 3, "5." They looked at me confused and I explained confidently, "I'll beat all three of you on this turn and deal 5000 points of damage to each of you."
Stooge 3 asked sarcastically, "Well, can you show us?" I nodded, much to everyone's surprise, and added, "I'll even give you the play-by-play. It starts with this spell right here in my hand, Card of Sanctity." Coins began to rain from the sky as I explained, "This card makes all players draw until they hold 6 cards in their hand. That means I draw 6 cards while you stooges draw 5." We drew our respective cards as I continued, "Now, my Illegal Keeper uses it's special ability. You see, whenever you guys draw outside of the draw phase, the drawn cards are returned to the deck, and for each one, you take 1000 points of damage."
All three shouted in shock, "WHAT?!" I made a gun gesture and declared, "Dead Draw." Illegal Keeper cackled before firing its gun three times.
Student 1: 4000 = 0
Student 2: 4000 = 0
Student 3: 4000 = 0
Elbert Wins
I scoffed and mentally realized something: I'm becoming the cliché edgy mysterious character. God help me. I complained to the stooges, "Next time, challenge me when you're actually good at dueling." A major chorus of 'Oh's were shouted as I walked away, vaguely hearing Masumi running after me.
As I walked down a hallway, I casually glanced at a T.V. before it showed an advertisement that momentarily made my heart stop.
Yuya is a girl, in this world.
And she's hot.
...
Masumi asked as I was still staring at the ad, "Elbert?" I asked, "When is this duel?" "A week from now, why?" "Well, considering the fact that I can barely think strait when I'm looking the red-green head, I'm most likely doomed since I find her attractive."
Masumi remained silent before bluntly stating, "Of all the girls of your freshly formed fan club, Yuya Sakaki caught your attention."
"Yep. I'm doomed, aren't I?"
"Oh, totally doomed."
Yaiba piped up, "More doomed than someone attempting to make an Exodia deck and testing it during an official duel!" Hakuto interjected as he joined us, "That's a bit too far, Yaiba."
I sighed and asked, "Well, you guys want to join me in watching the duel?"
On the day of the duel...
Me and the others got front row seats with snacks as we awaited the duel to start. As we did, my thoughts wandered off to think of what I need to do in terms of keeping the plot the same.
Between now and the tournament in canon:
1. Shingo met Yuya, stole his(her?) cards, and revealed that pendulum monsters in the pendulum zone are treated as spell cards.
2. Sora appears and temporarily joins You Show Duel School.
3. Yuto appears and beats Shingo, causing suspicion to arise.
4. In the time frame, Shun beats the other three that are with me.
5. Tournament starts.
Unless I'm missing some important parts, nothing else is missing aside from Yuya winning the duels. But with the deck Reiji showed me, the one that I arrived with...
Not to mention my title at school...
I shook it off as the event started.
It was the same as canon, but at the point of where the titan would turn around, he instead shouted, "ENOUGH! I will not duel a weakling!" The crowd went silent, along with Yuya who was dressed like a harlequin. However, I snorted and spoke, unfazed, "If she's a weakling, then you're an idiot." Everyone openly gaped as I stood up while stretching, continuing, "I asked for an entertaining duel, not for a one-sided entertainment." I then jumped over the barrier and offered, "A champion can stand two opponent's a once, right? Then take us on at the same time." "Us? I don't see-!" I deadpan, "Turn around, you idiot."
The titan did, and growled in irritation as he barked, "FINE! To pay for your ignorance, it'll be a battle royal! The last duelist standing wins, and no one can forfeit!"
Wait, what?
I looked and panicked as my duel disk activated, "Waitno, no, no, no-!"
The two duelist shouted, "Duel!"
Turn 1
Yuya: 4000
Hand: 5
Elbert: 4000
Hand: 5
Strong: 4000
Hand: 5
I twitched before inhaling deeply and shouting at the top of my lungs, "DAMMIT!"
Yuya sweat-drop and started, "Well, time to start this duel off..." And just like in canon, she went via zip-line and summoned Performapal Hip Hippo, or rather, Entermate Discover Hippo.
At least I know this is the original Japanese-subbed version.
I snapped out of my thoughts as she declared, "I'm not running away, but I AM ending my turn! You're up next, mystery guy~!"
I sighed before declaring, "My turn, draw!"
Turn 2
Yuya: 4000
Hand: 4
Elbert: 4000
Hand: 6
Strong: 4000
Hand: 5
Oh well... Might as well have some fun while I'm at it.
I grinned as I looked at my hand before declaring, "Time to shake things up a little! I normal summon Supreme King Servant Dragon Darkwurm!"
Well, I'll end it there. How was it? Please give your honest opinion and review.
Thanks, and have a nice day.
