[One day, Alexis is sitting by herself when he brother, Atticus, arrives]

Atticus: What are you doing, little sister?

Alexis: Making my deck. May you help me?

Atticus: Sure. Not a problem.

[Alexis and Atticus build her deck together. After they are finished, Alexis has a big smile on her face]

Alexis: Thank you!

Atticus: That is a good deck. It won't beat mine though! No deck can!

[A voice is heard]

???: Are you sure about that?

[The two look to see the Masked Man]

Masked Man: I'd like to take a crack at that deck.

Atticus: You're on, buddy! I never say no to a challenge!

Alexis: Atticus, don't. I don't like the looks of him.

Masked Man: There is no need to be worried. I'm just a duelist passing by.

Atticus: See, sis? Nothing to worry about!

[The Masked Man and Atticus prepare to face off. Alexis looks on with anticipation]

Alexis: Be careful, Atticus. I can tell this person is hiding many tricks up his sleeve.

Atticus: Don't worry, sis. I got this duel in the bag.

Masked Man: That's some confidence you got there. Let me take you down a notch.

Atticus: My name is Atticus and this is my sister Alexis. I hope we can be friends.

Masked Man: Sure. I could use some friends.

[The Masked Man shakes hands with Atticus. Alexis smiles and the Masked Man. The three became very close until one day the Masked Man disappeared. This disappointed Alexis and what made matters worse, her bother went missing. Alexis held hope though that she would meet the Masked Man again and he would help her find her brother]
