Prologue: Where it all begins

Kazuki P.O.V.

It was like any other day. Clear sunny skies, warm weather, the perfect day for a yugioh tournament. I managed to make it to the finals and my opponent was quite tough.

I had 2300 life points left with no cards in my hand and on my field I had my favorite xyz monster Number 96: Dark Mist with no xyz material and 100 ATK with limit reverse face-up and two set cards.

My opponent had 3600 life points left with no cards in his hand and on his field he had Beelze of the diabolic dragons in defense mode with 1600 ATK and 3000 DEF and no set cards.

We just entered his turn, and to tell you the truth, this is my first tournament and I'm quite nervous about making it to the finals. But for some reason when I look at my ace monster dark mist, I feel calm and confident that I'll be fine, like dark mist is actually supporting me. I know silly right, but won't it be cool to be in the zexal universe and duel like the characters do?

"Hope your ready to lose rookie," My opponent said after drawing his card and entering his standby phase. "I activate Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy the set card on your left."

I smirked and flipped the card he picked. "I chain Battle Mania, this forces your Beelze to attack mode and all monsters you currently control have no choice but to attack."

The shocked look on his face was priceless when he switched Beelze to attack mode wondering why I would do that.

"Alright if that's how you wanna play it then fine." He said entering his battle phase. "Beelze attacks dark mist."

I smirked again flipping my last set card. "I activate Rank-Up-Magic Quick Chaos." I countered shocking him that I had it. "With it I rank-up dark mist into Number C96: Dark Storm, and since battle mania is still in effect and there's a new monster on the field beelze has to attack it."

Raising an eyebrow he asked. "Why do that when you'll still take damage even though it was minimized?"

"Because I can use dark storms effect." I answered removing dark mist from under dark storm and placed it in the grave. "By detaching a material; dark storm reduces your monster's ATK to 0 and gains ATK equal to your monster's original ATK."

With that dark storm was at 4000 ATK and beelze's ATK plummeted to 0 dealing 4000 damage and winning the game.

"And there you have ladies and gentlemen!" The announcer yelled into the mic. "Our new yugioh regional champion is Kazuki Kanzaki!"

I got up and shook my opponent's hand before walking up on stage to claim my prize which was ten thousand dollars and an entire box set. I know what your thinking, why have a japanese name when the prize is american dollars? Here's the thing, I was born and raised in america, I only have a japanese first and last name because my parents are otakus and when they got married they changed their last names.

"Congradulations on winning mr. Kanzaki," The announcer said standng next to me. "Tell us, how does it feel to be in your first tournament and come out the victor?"

Handing me the mic I turned to the audience. "Honestly, it was overwhelming when I first got here. It was my dream to enter one of these tournaments and having a great time no matter where I was placed and I certinly didn't expect that I would end up winning my first tournament."

Handing the mic back he asked. "What's the secret of your wins, do they revolve around that one xyz monster you never fail to play each round?" And it's true, every round I was able to summon dark mist and win.

"Truth be told it was pure luck I was able to summon my ace monster. But luck or not dark mist has never failed to bring me victory."

After I said that the announcer asked. "What do you plan to do with the prize money and box set?"

"Well for the box set I plan to keep it, as for the prize money." I paused to think about my mom who's in the hospital fighting off a rare heart disease and the fee for an operation was too much for us to afford. That's why I entered this tournament, not only to have fun, but also to win the prize money for my mom's operation. "I plan on using it to pay for my mom's operation. She has a rare heart disease and we couldn't afford it. That's why I entered this tournament, to win the prize money for her, and if I didn't win, at least I tried and had fun. I can always find another way to get the money for it."

Tears started to well up in my eyes and the crowd was moved by my selflessness willing to spend all that money for my mom. Picking up the trophy and raising it high so everyone can take pictures. I took the check to my dad for him to take home while I pack my things and get on the plane home. Dad took the car to get here and I wanted to fly home so I have some me time and let the fact that I won my first tournament sink in.

Resting my head on the headrest I closed my eyes and chanted "I can't believe this" over and over again.

"That was exciting," I said to myself with a smile but then looked down as the feeling of being excited quickly fade from my system. "If only all duels were that exciting."

All of a sudden my deck box started to glow. Raising an eyebrow and being curious I opened it to see one card glowing; Number 96: Dark Mist.

"What the, why is dark mist glowing?"

Do you want to have an exciting adventure?

I jumped at the voice that strangely sounds like number 96's voice from zexal, only it didn't sound as sinister. So I just nodded my head and when I did dark mist glowed so bright I had to turn away and shut my eyes to not get blinded. Before I had a chance to scream I blacked out.

Unknown entity328: Wow, talk about shedding some light on the situation.

Kazuki: Please tell me you planned this through cause I don't feel like falling face first after the transportation.

Unknown entity328: of course I have, there's nothing to worry about... probably.

Kazuki: ...Did you just say probably?

Unknown entity: Anyway! I hope you enjoyed reading this I'll have the next chapter up either in two days or a week. But for now I need to study for my driving test so until next time.
