DUEL MONSTERS TOURNAMENT ♠ ROUND 1

WHO: ANYONE AND EVERYONE
WHERE: Central Park and Harbor
WHEN: Saturday March, 20th early afternoon
WARNING: Swearing and card games
SUMMARY: Round 1 of the duel monster's tournament.
FORMAT: Whatever you want!



Months of planning and recreating an empire from the ground up was finally reaching its climax. Fireworks shot into the sky as the workers ran out of the way trying to avoid the large screen to which the firework stands were attached. If there was still anyone who had not heard that a Duel Monsters Tournament was being held in the city, the sights and sounds quickly informed them.

The same set up was found in the two locations. One at the center of Central Park and the other stretched next to the water by the harbor. The rules the duelists had been given told them where to meet and when to be sure they would be there for the beginning. Since Kaiba couldn’t be in two places at once, especially as he had his own duel to prepare for, a video had been pre-recorded to start the event. The screens turned on at the same time, the KaibaCorp logo flashing across the screen. It disappears to show a montage of duels fought by different monsters. Those who are paying close attention may even notice cards that Kaiba could have only found out about in the City. The montage ends with a Blue Eyes White Dragon destroying everything in its path and causing the screen to fade to white.

The blank screen suddenly changes again to a video of Kaiba. “Welcome to this City’s first chance at a Duel Monster’s Tournament!” it started. “You have had plenty of time to prepare, and now it’s time to show exactly what you can do. At the end of this announcement the tournament will officially start.

“Find your opponent and duel! The winner will go on to the next round. The loser can go home. You have all been given copies of the rules. Any cheating will be punished.”

The Kaiba in the video paused, emphasing a big-brother idea about how cheating would be caught and punished. The look changed into a smirk as he threw his hand forward and dramatically proclaimed,

Game Start!

Juudai gazed blankly at the card, remembering the situation. If he'd equipped that to Rainbow Dragon while Yubel had been on the field, and then attacked her while her effect was negated during the Battle Phase...

"...Whaaaa? Why didn't you play that when you had the chance?! You would've won, you idiot!!" he berated Johan without actually being angry at him, though he suspected he already knew the answer to his own question. At the same time, he felt a little guilty for having gone all-out on Johan when Johan had actually decided to try and do things his own way.

Johan put his deck back together, with a special caress for each Gem Beast and Rainbow Dragon. He smiled at Juudai a touch. "Because it wouldn't have been right to seal her power like that. I wasn't going to win like that." If it had been some other monster, with some other effect, maybe. But not Yubel.

"...I thought you might say that," Juudai said softly. "I'm not really sure what to say other than 'you're an idiot', though." He jabbed him in the shoulder. Still, she was pissed at him rather than Johan at the moment, so it would've either been him for taking her off the field, or Johan for negating her power. Only lovingly pissed, however.

And then something struck him -- he made an "oh!" sound as his face turned to one of realization, so he stepped back and held up his right hand, extending his first two fingers out towards Johan.

"Almost forgot! Gooooootcha, Johan! That was fun!"
