Duel Monsters: Primary's Story

Chapter 16: Battle City Begins! No Good Barista!?

This Fanfiction is non-profitable and entirely made just for fun. Yu-Gi-Oh belongs to Konami, Kazuki Takahashi, etc. Kaiba's introduction at the beginning of the chapter are from an episode of YuGiOh where Kaiba explained the rules for Battle City. The only characters I own are the OCs I portray in this story. Please support the official release.

"I will now explain the contest rules." A giant KaibaCorp blimp was hovering all over Domino city. Some may have been intimidated when the blimp was broadcasting Seto Kaiba as he explained the rules. "Those who come here are all chosen by Kaiba Corporation, as level 5 or higher duelists. The Duel Disks on your arms are proof of that."

Lucas, who was standing near central plaza with little Jaden by his side, looked at his Duel Disk. He then looked around his proximity, taking notice of both a vast number of people wearing Duel Disks, as well as the amount of Duel Energy being emitted. He's not kidding, Lucas thought to himself, All these guys must be powerful duelist if their Duel Energy's so heightened. But with so many duelists, it makes you wonder; Lucas looks back at his Duel Disk, then back to the blimp. Where are we going to duel?

"The stage of this tournament," shouted Kaiba. Lucas felt as though Kaiba was able to hear his thoughts, which is highly unlikely "... is the entire town of Domino city!" Many people who wore a Duel Disk began to talk among themselves, curious as to how an entire city could become the stage for a child's trading card game. "No matter where you are in the city, if two duelists come face to face, you may fight!"

"Looks like we are going to be walking a bit." said Lucas. He turned to Jaden and asked, "Hey Jaden, you packed your water bottles, right?"

"Uh-huh," responded Jaden, looking into a bag he was carrying. The bag had about 3 or 4 water bottles, as well as Jaden's Deck Box. "I'm pretty sure I brought enough water for the day."

"Each Duelist will use a 40 card deck! The loser must surrender a rare card of the winner's choice!" Kaiba must be referring to the Ante Rule. "In this Battle City," Kaiba continued, "...as you win, your deck will become stronger and stronger!"

That being said, said Jackal. The more duels you win, the stronger your deck will become.

And when you've made it to the top, continued Yubel, Your deck might as well be the strongest deck in the world.

Keep in mind, Lucas responded. I can't just throw in a brand new card after every win without any deck maintenance. I need to make sure my deck can still be consistent after each win.

"Only eight contestants participating in the Battle Royale will make it to the Finals!"

"Are the finals also taking place in Domino city?" asked Jaden.

"As for the location of the finals... its location is hidden somewhere within the city! Because I plan to enter this contest along with everyone fairly, even I don't know where the Finals will be held." Everyone began muttering, conversing whether or not to face Kaiba right off the start.

"Before we get started," Kaiba continued as he raised a transparent card with what looks to be a puzzle piece in the center, "...take a look at this plate." Lucas, as well as many other duelists raised their plates. "This plate is a Puzzle Card. When all the Puzzle Cards are gathered, a map of Domino City is revealed." The image of Kaiba changed to a simulation video with six Puzzle Cards showing, each one stacked on top of the other. "The Puzzle Cards have a special prismatic coating. If you stack any six of them, a light will shine in a certain spot on the plate. That spot is the location of the Finals!" The screen changed back to Kaiba, "And there's one more rule; The winner of each Duel will get their opponent's Puzzle Cards. Only those who collect six puzzle cards can reach the unknown location of the Finals!"
