//------------------------------// // Freshman Year: Duel 3 // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! Friendship is Dueling 0 // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// "Hey Discord!", Inferno greeted. "Ah, Inferno! I was wondering when you would be stopping by. So who's your new friend." "This here's Burst. He's looking to make a deck, so I thought I'd show him the best card shop I know!" "Isn't this the only shop you know?", Burst asked with a smirk. "And that makes it the best by default!", Inferno replied. Burst shrugged as he looked at all the cards. But when he came to one in particular, he froze. "No way..." Burst couldn't believe it. He was looking at one of the most legendary cards in the entire game. A card long thought to be put out of production. The Blue Eyes White Dragon. "I thought they stopped making these.", Burst said in wonder. But unknown to him, the card was giving off a glow that only Discord could see. 'Looks like Blue Eyes has chosen his duelist.', Discord thought with a smile. "Well, Industrial Illusions put them back into production. Due to anyone being able to beat Blue Eyes with a good strategy. I take it you're interested in this card?" "I am. But I can't have it right now. I don't even have a duel disk. Not to mention I forgot to bring my wallet with me." Discord was about to counter that until the shop's door opened again. "Oh, hello. How can I help you?", he asked. "Is this a card shop? I was wondering if there were any duelists here.", Sunset asked. "I'll take you on!", Inferno boasted. "I was hoping for a good duel today." Inferno: 4000 Sunset: 4000 "Ladies first.", Inferno said as he drew his hand. "My move. I summon Warrior Dai Grepher in attack mode! Now I'll equip him with Lightning Blade! Next I'll set a card and end my turn." 'She must've just built her deck. Not a bad choice for a level four monster. I guess its a bit of an unfair advantage considering I've based my deck on getting Red-Eyes out fast.' "I draw! I summon Black Stone of Legend! Now I tribute him to special summon Red Eyes Black Dragon! Now I equip him with Black Metal Dragon! I'll attack Dai Grepher! Inferno Fire Blast!" "Not so fast! I activate my trap! Magic Cylinder! Since you declared an attack, I can negate the attack and inflict your monster's attack points as damage!" Inferno braced himself as his own attack was sent crashing into his life points! "Not bad! I end my turn." 'Maybe I should've seen that coming. One turn and she's taken out most of my life points in one turn! Just how many skills could this girl be hiding?!' Inferno: 1000 Sunset: 4000 "Thanks! Now to take things to the next level! I play Fires of Doomsday to bring out two doomsday tokens!" As Sunset activated the card two tokens appeared! 'Looks like my old ace stuck with me.' "Now I tribute my three monsters to summon the Supremacy Sun! Destroy Red Eyes Black Dragon!" Both monsters destroyed themselves due to their attack points being the same. "I end my turn." "Sweet! You actually helped me out! Since Black Metal Dragon was destroyed, I can add a Red Eyes spell card from my deck to my hand! I'll add Red-Eyes Fusion! Now I'll play it! I'll send another Red Eyes Black Dragon and Summoned Skull from my deck to the graveyard! I fusion summon Archfiend Black Skull Dragon! I'll attack you directly! Archfiend Blaze!" Sunset cringed as she took damage! "Now I activate Black Stone of Legend's effect! I'll return it to my hand and shuffle one of my Red Eyes monsters back into my deck! Now I'll summon and tribute Black Stone to special summon Red Eyes Black Flare Dragon! Now he counts as normal monster on my field! I end my turn." 'Weird. That was an effect monster I destroyed. So why didn't she use its special ability? I got the feeling I'll regret not using Black Skull's effect this turn.' Inferno: 1000 Sunset: 800 "Good move. But I'm going to be the one to end this! I'll discard a card and special summon the Supremacy Sun since it's my standby phase! Now I equip him with Megamorph to double his attack points! I'll destroy your Red Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" Inferno braced himself as his life points dropped down to zero! "Hope I didn't overdo it. That was my first duel here." 'So that's Supremacy Sun's effect. It can constantly revive from the graveyard!' "Not bad. Quite the comeback!", Inferno said with a smile. "So do you go to CHS too?" Sunset nodded. "Sure do. Hope to see more of you two also." And with that, Sunset left. 'Looks like I'll have plenty of prospective rivals to duel here.' "Thanks for showing me this place Inferno, but I'd better get going.", Burst said as he saw his mom pull up. 'All in all, not a bad first day!' "You look like you've had a good day.", Lumina said as Burst got in her car. "Yeah. Something tells me this is going to be a good year."
