Caine Ghest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 [spoiler=Chapter1]“Regnar?” A young man sat up as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. “What kind of dream was that?” He asked aloud as he looked to his clock. “Seven, it’s still a few hours from now.” The man sighed and crawled out of his bed onto the floor. His blond hair was up on one side from how he had slept on it the night before. He yawned loudly as he stood up and stretched a little bit. “Better get in line, the store is going to sell out fast.” He told himself as he put on a pair of black jeans and a white t-shirt. He walked to his desk and grabbed his black jacket with his deck of cards, quickly running through them to make sure they where all still there. “Alright then, time to go.” The morning sun was halfway up as the young man walked down the street, his hands where in the pockets of his jeans while he yawned once more. The line for the store was already forming, with his luck he would only get one of the new packs and have to settle with getting some of the older ones, not that it was really an issue, he had a taste for some of the older cards, more so his newest deck which relied heavily on quite a few of the original cards. “Morning Alex.” One of the kids said to him as he got in line. “Eh, why the hell do all of the cards have to come in so early?” Alex asked with a sigh before making a small chuckle to his friend. Alex was known for sleeping in and would be hard pressed to be up at this hour, but there was something about the promise of a new set of cards that managed to get him out of bed and on the street. “By the way, have you ever heard the name Regnar before?” Alex asked his friend who merely shook his head. “No sorry bud, you making up words again?” His friend laughed as Alex nodded his head, laughing with him. “You are probably right, it was just a dream.” The sound of a bell chiming eight times could be heard through the entire plaza. “Shop is open.” The voice of the owner called as he was just about ran over by kids and teens alike. “Watch out there Old Frank.” Alex said as he helped the older man up. “I am not that old.” Frank said as he took Alex’s hand and smiled. “But lord know I feel that way sometimes.” He shared a laugh with Alex before turning and walking back into his store. “Don’t worry, I saved you a few packs.” Frank whispered to Alex before going behind the counter to take care of the costumers. “Whew, that is the last one.” Old Frank said as he looked at his now emptied stock. “Here you go Alex, the last three packs, plus one of your favorites.” Frank handed over the packs to Alex who in turn reached for his wallet. “So how much do I owe you this time Frank?” He asked as the old man smiled. “Those are free as long as you open them here.” He replied as Alex smiled and opened the older pack first. “I have just about all of these already.” He said as he looked at the rare card in the pack. “But this one is new.” He said showing off the Puppet Master he had just found. “That is a nice find, it should go well in your deck.” Frank said as Alex opened one of the new packs. “Hmm, hey Frank check these guys out.” He said showing him the new monster type he just got “Gunman, interesting.” Alex said as he placed down the four gunmen cards he got out of the pack. “Next one.” He said as he ripped open the next pack to reveal two more gunmen and a few duplicates. “Wait this name rings a bell.” Alex said aloud as he showed Frank another card. “Young Regnar, well that is one I’ve never heard of.” Frank said as he took the card for a moment. “Seems like a useless tuner to me.” Alex opened his last pack and a surprised look came over his face. “This is the card, the one I saw last night!” He exclaimed as he showed Frank the card ‘Regnar’ “That looks like a rare one to me, why don’t we test out those new cards, go ahead and take whatever you want from the back to build a deck, I’d like to be the first to face that card.” Frank said as he opened the counter and let Alex walk through. “If you beat me you can keep all of the cards you use to make that deck, if you lose, you have to give me all of those new cards.” Frank said with a sly smile.

Kuro no Keiyakushu Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Good as a start. But, may I suggest that that you start a new paragraph when a new speaker speaks. It helps the reader read easier. Anyway, I await the new chapter to see Alex and Frank duel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caine Ghest Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Yeah, it was a little rushed, I was trying to do about two or three things at once and I just missed quite a few things with spacing and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caine Ghest Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 [spoiler=Chapter 2]Alex searched through Frank’s large supply of cards till he found a number of cards that could support his new Gunmen. “Alright Frank, I think I have a good set here.” Alex told the older man who emerged with two old duel disks. “Here you go then, it’s kinda old, but it should work for now.” Frank said as he slid his deck into the disk and smiled. “Your going to have to face my best deck if you want to keep those cards.” The older man laughed as he drew five cards from his deck. “You go first kid.” Frank insisted as he watched Alexander. “Alright then, I draw.” Alexander said as he looked at his hand. “I play Marauding Captain, which allows me to special summon my Revolver Gunman (Warrior/ 4 / ATK 1450 / DEF 900) in attack mode.” Alex smiled as he set two cards facedown and ended his turn. “Good move kid, but now I summon my Gambler of Legend (Spellcaster/ 4/ ATK 500/ DEF/ 1400) in attack mode and place three cards facedown.” Frank said as Alex gave him a questioning look.“Why do that, it is weaker than both of my monsters.” “Because, I am a gambler, now stop asking questions, it’s your move.” Alex drew Young Regnar and smiled. “This will come in handy later, for now I summon Snipe Gunman (Warrior/ 3/ ATK 900/ DEF 1900) in attack mode and use his effect to attack you directly.” Alex called as his monster took aim and fired at Frank. (Alex 8000/ Frank 7100) “Next I attack your Gambler with my Revolver Gunman” “I activate my trap, Desert sunlight which puts my Gambler into defense mode.” “So what, because of Revolver’s effect he gets to attack once more for each Gunman on my side of the field, so destroy his monster and then Revolver and Captain attack him directly.” (Alexander 8000/ Frank 4450) “Not bad, but let’s see what your luck is like now.” Frank said as drew a new card and activated his Pot of Greed, allowing him to draw two more cards. “I summon my Snipe Hunter (Fiend/ 4/ ATK 1500/ DEF 900) in attack mode, next I activate my Trap card The Paths of Destiny, now we both flip and coin depending on the result you will gain or lose life points.” Frank said as a giant coin appeared. “Go!” Frank said as the coin flipped up and landed on heads.“Go!” Alex said as the coin flew up again. Alex crossed his fingers as the coin landed. “Tails…” (Alexander 6000/ Frank 6450)“Now I activate my Snipe Hunter’s Effect and target your facedown card on the right.” Frank called as he discarded one card from his hand and activated his Hunter’s roulette wheel. “It’s a four, your card is destroyed.” Alex moved his Negate attack to the graveyard. “Now Snipe Hunter attack his Captain” (Alexander 5700/ Frank 6450) “My turn, I summon my Young Regnar in attack mode, next I activate my level down on Revolver Gunman, allowing me to tune Snipe Gunman and Revolver Gunman with Young Regnar to Syncro Summon my Regnar (Warrior/ 8/ ATK 2500/ DEF 2000) to the field.” Alex proudly said as his new monster appeared. “Now because of his effect he can attack three times in one turn.” “So what I still have life points left.” Frank said in return.“But first I think Regnar could use a better weapon, so I equip him with my Fusion Sword Murasame Blade giving him 3100 attack, enough for me to win this duel and keep this new deck.” Alex said as his monster destroyed Frank’s Snipe Hunter and then attacked him two more times winning Alex the duel. “Ha ha ha, I haven’t had a duel like that in a long time.” Frank said with a smile as he handed Alex a card. “You’ll do well my friend, take this and always remember to follow whatever path your life leads you on, but when faced with a fork, take a gamble and make the best of it.” Frank instilled his words of wisdom into Alex who smiled in return. “Keep the disk also, maybe you could fix it up later, I’ll see you later kid.”“Thanks old Frank.” Alex said as he took the card and placed it in his pocket. “Take care old man.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caine Ghest Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 [spoiler=Chapter 3]“Is there a reason why we do this? Having these duels over everything, who knew a children’s card game would be this important to the fate of the world. “ Alexander read aloud as he laughed at the book he was holding. It was a book by some nut job that thought duel monsters was connected to some mythological mumbo jumbo. “What an idiot.” Alex said as he set the book down and picked up his cards. “There is no way these cards are connected to some mystic bull crap.” Morning came early to Alex as he wiped the sleep from his eyes and rose up from his bed. Grabbing his clothes from the day before he got dressed and grabbed the duel disk Frank had given him. “This better be lucky old man.” Alex said as he attached the disk to his arm and left his apartment. Today was the date of the entrance exams for the Academy. Alex had no doubt he would score well, his only issue was Kendra, Alex’s ex-girlfriend. The break up had been recent, and it still hurt him whenever he saw her. She would be at the exams also, given that she was one of the top duelists in the area. Alongside Alex in the tag team circuit they had been known as Empire, due to their nicknames, The Fiend Emperor and Magical Empress, due to their respective decks at the time. That however was only locally known, neither of them ever believed they where good enough to join the professional circuit at the time, however that changed, and Alex was determined to become the world champion after going through the academy to perfect his skills. “Well here we go.” Alex said as he signed the entry slip and entered into the stadium to watch until he was called for his battle.
