---------------------------

17 year old Tenriku Gard stood up straight, he was standing at the edge of his high schools roof, looking down at the basketball courts below he was waiting for who he considered to be his only opponent to arrive.

Tenriku checked the time on his silver wristwatch, it was 5 minutes to one, Hanya was late. Tenriku hated people who were late, but he hated Hanya for other reasons as well, but that didn?t matter, Tenriku and Hanya were about to settle things one on one. There would be no more confrontations in the halls, or on the soccer field. The two of them were going to leave everything they had up here. Soon after this brief thought another figure appeared from the doorway leading to the roof, carrying two disk shaped objects in his hand. He stepped out of the doorway and Tenriku easily recognized him as his hated rival Hanya, the way he walked, and the way he talked were a dead give away that the stuck up ?bastard? had arrived.

Hanya- So little Tenriku, ready to bite the dust?

Tenriku- Biting the dust? You?ll be eating it when I?m done with you?

With the exchange of smack talk a brief pause set in, the wind picked up?

Tenriku- Did you bring the duel disk system?

Hanya- Of course, of course, straight from my father?s factory. It?s a shame that I?ll be letting you borrow one for this duel, but for a chance to humiliate you I guess it?s worth it.

Tenriku- ?

Tenriku- As you know we?ll play with 4000 Life Points, using the dated, but efficient Battle City Rules, any objections?

Hanya- No matter what rules we play by I?ll still wipe the floor with your face.

Hanya- Well enough talk? Who knows when old principal Palmer comes looking for us, so? Let?s GET THIS DUEL STARTEDl!

Hanya threw one of the two dueling disks to Tenriku and quickly strapped on his own, Tenriku followed in suite. The two duelists then held out their hands and activated the 3D generating system; two small pieces of machinery flew off from the dueling disks and landed on the ground. With the 3D generating system now activated, all duel monsters used in the duel would appear directly in front of the two duelists, in full three-dimensional form. The monsters would both look and feel real that was the beauty of the duel-disk system?



With both duelists ready to duel, the grudge match began?

Hanya- The challenger should go first, so I?ll draw my card and?

Hanya looks over the cards in his hand, all monster cards, this wasn?t good, Hanya liked the straight forward approach and enjoyed crushing his opponents with pure strength but to beat Tenriku he knew he would have to be cunning and resourceful.

Hanya- Let?s see I?ll play this one card in defense mode.

Tenriku- Maybe your not as dumb as I thought,

Tenriku drew a card, it was his Queen?s Knight, just the card he needed?

Tenriku- Alright Hanya, prepare yourself! I?ll lay one card face down, and play my Queen?s Knight in attack mode! (1500/1600).

As the card was inserted into the duel disk a holographic projection of the Queen?s Knight appeared before the two duelists, a female warrior in red armor, wielding both a sword and shield, appeared in front of the two duelists.

Tenriku- Now! Queen?s Knight! Attack the defense monster!

The queen?s knight ran forward with her sword at her side she came upon Hanya?s card in defense mode revealing a Rude Kaiser (1800/1000), she instantly brought down her sword and cut the Rude Kaiser straight in two as it tried to defend from her devastating attack.

Tenriku- A Rude Kaiser in defense mode? Please, don?t insult me, the Rude Kaiser is good for offensive strikes now defensive ones.

Hanya- Insults come in many different forms, you may have destroyed my Rude Kaiser, but this card I just drew should help even the odds! ARISE! BATTLE OX!

Hanya?s Rude Kaiser instantly appeared on the field, wielding its duel blades on it?s arms the giant green lizard was a force to be reckoned with. The Battle Ox ran at the Queen?s Knight and prepared to slice it in two with it?s massive axe, but just before the Battle Ox?s attack connected Tenriku activated the trap card he had played earlier.

Tenriku- Negate Attack!

The Queen?s Knight was engulfed in a white haze, then after a blinding white flash the two monsters, the Queen?s Knight, and Battle Ox, stood on opposite sides of the field both unharmed.

Hanya- WHAT!?

Tenriku- You?re all to predictable Hanya-san. You?ve fallen right into my trap,

Hanya- ?

Tenriku- I didn?t think you?d get it and even If I explain you?ll still be lost, so I?ll just show you. I?ll play my King?s Knight in attack mode! (1600/1400)

Hanya- Another Knight?!? Hah it still can?t defeat my Battle Ox!

Tenriku- Don?t worry there?s one more Knight coming right your way!

Hanya- Hah you fool don?t you know you can?t play more than one monster per turn!

Tenriku- Just shut up and watch. I?ll activate the King?s Knight?s effect! You see when fighting side by side with it?s mate, the Queens Knight, the King?s Knight allows me to special summon the almighty JACK?S KNIGHT! (1900/1000). With an attack of 1900 it has just enough power to annihilate your crummy Battle Ox! So, Jack?s Knight! I summon YOU!

A tall sturdy took shape on the battlefield, dressed in silver armor and wielding a magnificent sword, the Jack?s Knight had arrived.

Tenriku- Looked at the awe struck Hanya, Hanya relied to much on power and not effects to win it was that simple, and Tenriku believed this would be his key to victory.

Tenriku- All right enough stalling, Jack?s Knight I command you! SILVER SWORD!

Jack?s Knight ran at the battle Ox with amazing speed, all the while it?s sword was giving off a silver aura, upon arrival with the Battle Ox, the Jack?s Knight, sprinted forward quickly cutting the Battle Ox in two across the torso, but before the Battle Ox could even react the Jack?s Knight circled behind the Battle Ox and cut it in half again this time straight down the middle vertically. The Battle Ox began to fall to the ground but before impact exploded into thousands of pieces, the Jack?s Knight quickly returned to Tenriku?s side of the field?

Life Points:
Tenriku: 4000
Hanya: 3800

Tenriku- A small lead this is as of yet, but I think I?ll increase the gap in life points by having my King?s Knight attack your life points directly!

The King?s Knight brought up his sword and swung it with tremendous strength a gust of wind was sent forth and a major dent was put into Hanya?s life points?

Life Points:
Tenriku: 4000
Hanya: 2200

Tenriku- And to end my turn I?ll switch my Queen?s Knight to defense mode (1500/1600). Your move Hanya? You can forfeit if you like, I do feel pity for your poor dueling skills? Besides my three monsters compared to your none, is obviously to much for a duelist of your caliber to handle.

Hanya- Bravo, Bravo Tenriku, but we?ll see who has the last laugh,

Hanya drew a card and a wide grin spread across his face?

Hanya- You may have more monsters than me on the field Tenriku but I?m going to teach you how more monsters isn?t always a good thing, and I think my Fiend Megacyber is the perfect card to inflict this painful lesson upon you.

Tenriku- (Fiend Megacyber a level 6 monster? But that means it must have an effect if Hanya plans on playing it, I guess I?ll just have to wait and see?)

Hanya- Fiend Megacyber Negate tributes and come forth! (2200/1200).

A Giant Yellow, metallic creature appeared on the dueling field, all around it were dark electrical sparks?

Hanya- Now you know the drill? ATTACK THE JACK?S KNIGHT!

Fiend Megacyber unleashed a dark mass of energy upon the Jack?s Knight, the Jack?s Knight tried to block the attack but to no avail, due to the difference in attack points.

Tenriku: 3700
Hanya: 2200

Hanya- Next to go is your King?s Knight!

Tenriku- (Damn it none of the cards in my hand can match up to his Megacyber in terms of attack or defense, I?ll have to go on the defensive). I?ll play this monster card in defense mode, and now I?ll call back my King?s Knight and switch him to defense mode as well.

Hanya Draws a card, and then lets out a psychotic laugh?

Hanya- Haha! Little Tenriku it seems that lady luck has shifted sides, and is now with me! If you think going on the defensive will help you out then thing again, for when I play stop defense all your monsters switch from defense to attack mode!

All Tenriku?s monsters switch from defense to attack mode, despite Tenriku?s crys of disgust, Tenriku?s card in reverse defense mode flips over revealing a Giant Soilder of Stone (1300/2000).

Hanya- Now my Fiend MegaCyber! Attack the King?s Knight!

Fiend Megacyber charges up for another attack and fires a wave of dark energy at the King?s Knight, Tenriku can do nothing but watch as his Knight disappears from the field? in an instant his King?s Knight is no more.

Life Points:
Tenriku: 3100
Hanya: 2200

Hanya- Come on, don?t tell me that that?s the best you can do!

Tenriku stared at Hanya in disgust, but then realized it wasn?t Hanya?s ?brilliant? play that had turned the tides of battle, but instead it was his own sloppy play that had lead to Hanya?s come back?

Tenriku- Very well Hanya for my next move?

Before Tenriku could play his next card a deep voice sounded from his right, from his right and from the only way up and down to the school?s roof.

???- HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

Lets see as for my comments on this chapter, it?s really nothing special, as I wrote this all in two sittings, and little revising and such has been done, I plan on writing the chapters of this fanfic quickly like I did this one. But I am also planning on making it interesting so some of you will continue to read it. As for why I?m doing this it?s simple, I?ve got finals coming up and I?m spending most of my time on my Gundam Fanfic which you can view [URL=http://otakuboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19358]HERE[/URL]
