POV [Riku Yulunger]
'What the hell was that first the fusion rules change along with making fusion monsters better by giving them better stats and an extra effect, then I see a spirit(?) being summoned that has it's stats changed and 2 different effects which is extremely rare and almost unheard of.'
'I almost regret giving Tommy all those extra cards I wasn't going to use but I never would've thought that the rules compared to the original world and this one would've changed so much. The craziest thing about duel monsters is the fact that rules can change with no one the wise I looked up the rules when I first came to the world and since no one was talking about changes I thought everything was still the same. Although this is interesting, what else can change rituals, tributes maybe even synchr-'
"Riku Yulunger head to station four for your next 3 duels"
My thinking is again interrupted by a referee telling me to move and go to my next station. The next 3 duels are boring and I win with minimal difficulty with the only person giving me slight trouble being Sid but he was easy to deal with after taking out his Fire Wing Pegasus.
'After my fifth win there is only 5 duelist remaining in the tournament since there was only 160 people originally. Unsurpisingly both Bonz and Zygor are in the final 5 but there is one more person i recognise here and that Derrick Phoenix.'
'Now I could be tripping but he looks very similar to Ashter Phoenix from GX which means that he could be his grandfather or something of the like which means that GX is alot closer to the timeline of the first season of YU-GI-OH than I thought.'
"As there are 5 people left and only 4 finalist spots we will randomly chose 2 of the final contestants to a best of 1 match." 'I see the annoncer give us all a number and using a random number generator to pick whose dueling and It ends up being Derrick Phoenix and the other man whose name is James Blonde.'
'As they sit down to play I'm observing Derrick as if his playing what I think hes playing then this could get a out of had by the time battle city comes.'
POV [Derrick Phoenix]
After the coin is fliped the blonde headed man james goes first. "I draw Hah you've already lost I summon Hozanryu 2100/2800 then equip it with Dragon treasure 2100/2800-->2400/3100 and I'll end my turn"
"My turn I'll activate The A. Forces Then I'll normal summon Marauding Captain 1200/400 and activate It's effect to summon from my hand Command Knight 1200/1900 and finally I'll activate double summon allowing me to normal summon again the bring out my Gilford The Legend 2600/2000 to end this I'll equip Gilford with Dragonic Attack." Gilford The Legend--->4100/2500, Marauding Captain 1200/400--->2200/400,Command Knight 1200/1900--->2200/1900.
"I'll attack your Hozanryu with my Gilford The Legend and I'll activate Gilford The Legend's effect which allows me to chose one equip spell in my deck and equip it to on emonster on my field and I'll chose to equip Lightning Blade to Gilford increasing its attack by 800. Gilford The Legend 4100/2500--->4900/2500 "Now Gilford will finish you in one attack."
James 2000--->0 LP
Winner: Derrick Phoenix
POV [Riku Yulunger]
'That was about what I expected if Derrick used Destiny Heros I would've fallen out of chair but this is in the acceptable range even if there are more cards that have different effects than in the orginal. The only thing left to do now is up grade my deck since if Derrick used cards like Marauding Captain I must be able to get my hands on them.'
An announcer speaks as soon as the duel between James and Derrick finished "Alright all for finalist have been set you 4 win an invite to the Domino City regionals starting 2 weeks from today. So you four rest up, upgrade your deck and get a move on as this could be your big break."
Apartment
'I'm back at my apartment after escaping from the chatterbox that is Tommy and as I sit I go through my deck I look through all of my card to find one specific one. As I look at the Beast of Talwar I see nothing wrong with it but i "feel" that somthing is different with the card. An arua surrounds the card as a pressence makes itself known.'
"Hello master you've finally noticed me" (Notice me senpai)
