//------------------------------// // Duel 1:Heroes at Odds // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! EQG Side Story: Flash Sentry v. Blueblood: Clash of the Hero Decks // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// The hero archetype. One of the most popular archetypes to come out of Duel Monsters. It became so popular that comics were made for the Elemental Heroes in almost no time. As well as a popular tv show and toy line. And in respect to the Japanese inspiration for the Masked Hero archetype, a manga and anime series soon came into existence. These archetypes wound having great influence on two young duelists at CHS. Flash Sentry, who is known for his mastery of the Elemental Hero archetype. And Blueblood, who uses the Masked Hero archetype. And it is with these two duelists that our story begins. "Hey Blueblood.", Flash asked. "I've noticed you keep calling Burst 'master.' Why is that?" "Simple. When I was first defeated by him, I was nothing more than a selfish, arrogant duelist. Too eager to dismiss any card that I deemed 'useless.' But when Burst defeated me, he gave me advice that's stuck with me ever since. To play with a deck that I have a bond with. No matter if I achieve victory or defeat. That's why I call him master. He helped me discover the meaning of bond between a duelist and their deck. That led to me finding my old Masked Hero deck. I never won much with it in my younger days, but it was a deck that I loved to play." "Nice. Kind of like how I feel about my Elemental Hero cards. Hey! Why don't we form a club for the hero cards? The hero cards are pretty popular. I should know. I'm a big fan of the Elemental Hero comics that Industrial Illusions makes!" "Yes! We'll call it the Masked Hero Club!" "Uh, I think you mean the Elemental Hero Club." "Masked." "Elemental" "Masked!" "Elemental!" "Alright, let's stop for a moment. We're not going to get anywhere going back and forth like this. There's only one way to settle this!" "Anytime, anyplace.", Flash said boldly. "Lunch period. We'll settle which hero archetype will be the true focus of the club!"
