Note: This is just to test the water and post some idea that may or may not be continued past a certain Prewritten Chapter. Reviews and highly encouraged to give feedback and to see if I will actually write this out fully. Now a quick disclaimer: I watch more of the show rather than the rules of the game in hand, therefore once we get to the duels some parts make seem like it's breaking the rules of the game. I will try to limit this, but f anyone would like to correct me then feel free to. Otherwise, enjoy.
Episode 1: How to Not Dimension Warp
The last time I touched a Yugioh Deck and tried to play with it was when my friend and I parted ways. I forget his name, but I could never forget his kind smile, the laughter, and joy we had when he dueled, but above all the time he took into helping me understand and play the game better than I ever could. That was a long time ago; he left with a sad goodbye, but not before we exchanged cards one last time. There, I exchanged a monster card for his spell card. A simple normal level three monster for one Magical Cylinder. His face was still confused like before at why I wanted that card so much. I could never get my hands on any card I truly wanted, but a card like this can slide by my parents and still be kept in my possession.
It was a long time before I would hear of him again, not by name but just his playing style. By chance, I heard that he would be participating in a local Yugioh Card tournament while browsing through the card section. I was debating whether I would save up or go and buy a new set of cards. This tournament got me interested, but not to participate no not by a long shot. Making plans to go and watch this with permission from my parents took some time by here I was, watching the first round matches go.
This tournament was small but it was exciting to see the guys go at it. Since I was the only girl there, I had to shrug off their flirting and focused instead on the duel. Despite me never playing the game for a while, I was aware of most of the rules and summoning methods - the only one I was still figuring out was the new Pendulum summoning - but for the other ones I knew how they worked. Doesn't mean I liked to use them or look forward to watching them in action.
As time past, I found myself still stuck in the first round and no sign of my old friend in sight. If he were to be here already, I thought we'd already see each other. Sadly not a single person here was him and I decided to take a seat next to another guy who was shuffling his deck. I didn't pay attention much to him as I took the seat, but I decided to pull out the Magical Cylinder Card he gave me. It was still treasured for being the past card he gave me; there was no way I would easily give this up.
"Hey, that's the Magical Cylinder Trap Card?" The guy next to me asked; his voice sounding strangely familiar.
"...Oh! You're talking to me. Yes, yes this is," I smiled a bit while still watching the duel, but now was started to glance to the card, "It's a parting gift from an old friend of mine. He helped me get into Yugioh as in the game and not the show."
"Oh really? I'd like to meet him if I had the chance."
"I was hoping we'd meet up again here after all these years, but it seems like he didn't turn up." I sighed as I pocketed the card.
"I'm sure you will meet him again someday. He has to meet up with you again somehow."
"When I can't even remember his name in this huge world? It will take some kind of miracle for that to happen."
"Well, looks like my turns up next. Nice talking to you."
"You too."
Once he got up and walked away, I glanced over to his now empty seat only to find a Yugioh card resting in the middle of the table. Taking a quick look around, I decided to pick up the card after getting no response from the other guys in the shop. Turning it over from the normal back cover, I was befuddled at just the notion that the other side had a strange picture design to it. All I could tell was that it was a spell card and nothing more.
"What kind of card is this?" I asked, "This one-!"
I was cut off by a bright source of light that burst forth from the card. Covering my eyes, I lowered them once it receded to see what just happened only to find that I was no longer in a shop. In fact, taking a quick look at my surroundings it didn't seem I was anywhere I recognized. A sharp pain shot through my head as I grasped the card; was I having a headache now of all times?
Looking around, I seemed to have ended up on some dock with all the storage crates and warehouses open and unattended at the moment. Shaking my head, I strolled over to water in hopes of maybe figuring out where exactly and then call for my parents to pick me up. As soon as I was by the edge of the dock and decided to look downward into the water, my body nearly jolted back and fell to the ground at what I saw.
What I saw… Was not me… Yet was me. I don't know what just happened or how my appearance changed, yet my quick look around of myself and reexamination from the reflection clearly crushed all my doubt and told me this was really happening. My appearance was still of a teenager, though it didn't change the age looking the part of my look. Short purple/iris hair that just was above my shoulders alongside the cloud gray bangs that decided to sweep mainly to the left of my face and then some to my right for my face. This left my emerald eyes to remain untouched but visible once again. A long sleeve pale blue shirt was underneath a black open leather jacket with a white furry hoodie inside, gray pants, and black, white and pink tennis shoes. The laces were a solid white and the white socks underneath reached pretty high - nearly to my knees in fact. Between my wrist and elbow was a brick colored cloth tied for some reason and a golden necklace with a star charm hanging and in the center was an amethyst embedded inside.
"The hell is going on?!" I asked before I felt my brown belt and the side compartments, "Wait a second!"
Still with the strange card in my hand, I found myself having a full Yugioh Deck, strangely different and brand new looking. Otherwise, I had a cell phone, apartment keys, and a duel disk that suddenly appeared for me - or rather the strange card that brought me here decided to spit out one for me. It looked weird; having the appearance of a dark purple coloring and normal black screen without any place to put the cards down at all.
In order to better understand just what was going on and where I was, the information on my cell phone seemed to be normal in terms of what should be in there. The only thing missing was any access to normal websites or numbers of my parents. Nothing about Yugioh was on my phone anymore - which sent shivers down my spine.
"Just what is going on here?" I looked at the strange spell card before shaking it, "Hey! Take me back home! Come on!"
After shaking the card for who knows how long, I groaned before shoving the card back into one of the compartments and feeling that the Magical Cylinder trap in that same place. Taking it out, I looked and noticed that it stayed the same as before, but I swore something was different. Shrugging, I pocketed everything before walking the way where it seemed civilization would be.
