Skyson Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I figured that I may as well put an interesting fanfic together. So, I'll put up my starting ideas here. I'm still developing characters, but I have some decks constructed for now. [spoiler=Plot]The Edge Colosseum has been holding tournaments for as long as anyone in the area can remember. But when the colosseum releases a notice that they're holding their final tournament, word reaches out to many duelists far and wide. Everyone is excited about the level of competition that's going to be present, but fails to give any notice as to why the famous tournament location is suddenly going to shut down after this function. For a particular group of duelists, The Edge Colosseum holds a lot of fond memories of their dueling careers. The story's main focus is the group's struggles to find out the hidden past of the Colosseum they've come to know as their hangout, and a deepening sense of friendship between them. Of course, there will be grand amounts of dueling to transition the story from one part to another, since I've made a decent attempt at mixing existing decktypes (with custom cards) with completely custom decks. Will this be a fanfic that emphasizes creative dueling, or storyline? You be the judge. This is the first fanfic I've created of my own design, and I honestly don't know what direction I'm going to take it in. >_> Characters: [spoiler=Alex]Age: 17 Alex has been dueling at the Colosseum ever since his career began. He obtained his first pack of cards at the Colosseum, and has gained knowledge and insight towards dueling throughout the years. He is open-minded and generally full of enthusiasm. He treats situations with a positive attitude, and is well-liked by most other duelists for his kind nature.

If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card, instead of sending it to the Graveyard.700/200 Crystal Beast Onyx Crocodile - DARK4/Reptile/EffectThis card cannot attack face-down monsters. If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card, instead of sending it to the Graveyard.2200/400 Crystal Beast Diamond Raptor - WIND6/Dinosaur/EffectYou can Special Summon this card from your hand by revealing a number of other "Crystal Beast" monsters from your hand to your opponent, then shuffling them into your Deck. If you Special Summon this card in this manner, this card gains 400 ATK for each revealed monster. If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card, instead of sending it to the Graveyard.1700/2000 Shattered Crystals - SpellPlace all "Crystal Beast" monsters from your hand face-up into your Spell and Trap Card Zones as Continuous Spell Cards. If there are more monsters than open Spell and Trap Zones, the monsters are sent to the Graveyard. Crystal Radiance - Quick-play SpellActivate when your opponent's card effect destroys your "Crystal Beast" monsters as Continuous Spell Cards. Destroy a number of Spell & Trap Cards on your opponent's side of the field, up to the number of "Crystal Beast" Continuous Spells that were destroyed by your opponent's card effect. [spoiler=Vince]Age: 19 Vince has been playing the game before he came to the Colosseum, and started off as a very skilled player. He originally had little respect for duelists that he could easily defeat, feeling that his time was merely being wasted; however, the skill of his opponents began to grow, and he realized that one of the best ways to improve yourself is to accept defeat and learn from your mistakes. He now has a better perspective on keeping an open mind, but still prefers to keep to himself. He comes across as very shy, but in reality is very tactical in his playstyle.

Shuffle both Decks afterwards. Final Act - TrapActivate when your "Dark Magician" would be destroyed by battle or your opponent's card effect. Draw 2 cards. [spoiler=Tony]Age: 17 Tony is recently new to the Colosseum, having spent most of his time dueling at other facilities, most notably the Duel Arena, a rival location to the Colosseum. He is generally disliked by the other duelists, as many of them believe that the Arena is the main reason that the Colosseum is shutting down. Tony has entered the tournament in support of the Duel Arena, wanting to show the Colosseum duelists that where he duels has the superior duelists. His personality comes across as arrogant and bold, as his main concern is victory at all times.

[spoiler=Cliff]Age: 16 Cliff is a fairly experienced duelist who hasn't done much dueling at the Colosseum. He used to spend most of his time dueling his friends, before they had to move away to college. Cliff has taken the experiences with his friends to strengthen his Deck, and feels prepared to take on anyone at the Colosseum. He comes across as shy, because he is unfamiliar with just about everyone at the Colosseum. He gets very in-character when dueling, very wrapped up when he's on a roll. Deck: Six Samuraix2 Great Shogun Shienx2 Grandmaster of the Six Samuraix2 The Six Samurai - Yaichix1 The Six Samurai - Kamonx2 The Six Samurai - Nisashix3 The Six Samurai - Zanjix2 The Six Samurai - Iroux1 The Six Samurai - Yarizax2 Shien's Footsoldierx1 Chamberlain of the Six Samuraix1 Enishi, Shien's Chancellor- 19 monsters x1 Monster Rebornx2 Reinforcement of the Armyx1 Heavy Stormx1 Swords of Revealing Lightx2 Cunning of the Six Samuraix1 My Body as a Shield* x2 Six Samurai Ambush!* x2 Retreat- 12 spells x2 Double-Edged Sword Techniquex2 Swiftstrike Armorx2 Return of the Six Samuraix2 Dust Tornado* x2 Shien's Guidance- 10 traps [spoiler=* Custom Cards]Six Samurai Ambush! - SpellSend 1 "Six Samurai" monster from your Deck to your Graveyard, then Special Summon 1 "Six Samurai" monster from your hand with the same level as the monster sent to the Graveyard.

[spoiler=Paul]Age: 17 Paul has been dueling at the Colosseum for as long as most people, but sees dueling differently. He has played with a very offensive deck for a while, but saw the movement towards speed that the game has generally taken, so he took a step in reverse. He now runs a deck that focuses on dwindling away at the opponent's Life Points, and maintains an attitude that suits his deck. His attitude remains very clear and calm as he duels solely to frustrate his opponent. He has joined this tournament to show everyone what a little patience can do for any duelist, confident that he is going to win. Deck: Volcanicsx3 Volcanic Slicerx1 Volcanic Doomfirex3 Volcanic Scattershotx2 Volcanic Rocketx3 Volcanic Hammererx2 Volcanic Blasterx3 Volcanic Shell* x2 Volcanic Inferno- 19 monsters x2 Blaze Acceleratorx2 Tri-Blaze Acceleratorx2 Molten Destructionx1 Smashing Groundx1 Swords of Revealing Lightx1 Monster Rebornx1 Premature Burialx2 Wild Firex1 Card Destruction- 13 spells x1 Mirror Forcex1 Torrential Tributex1 Tower of Babelx2 Dust Tornado* x3 Volcanic Backlash- 8 traps [spoiler=* Custom Cards]Volcanic Inferno - FIRE3/Pyro/EffectOnce per turn, you can inflict damage to your opponent equal to 200 x the number of face-up "Volcanic" monsters on your side of the field.

This card is destroyed during your second Standby Phase after its activation. [spoiler=John]Age: 16 John hasn't been playing for as long as anyone else, but purchased the "Fury from the Deep" structure deck and tweaked it with a few cards that looked good to him. His inexperience shows in his duels, but he is always willing to learn from his mistakes, and is confident in the face of danger. He tries very early to make friends, possibly with people who could help him strengthen his deck. Deck: A Legendary Oceanx2 Levia Dragon - Daedalusx1 Silent Abyssx1 Mobius the Frost Monarchx2 Mermaid Knightx1 Treeborn Frogx3 Mother Grizzlyx2 Warrior of Atlantisx2 Nightmare Penguinx2 Abyss Soldierx3 Hydrogeddonx2 Penguin Soldier- 21 monsters x3 A Legendary Oceanx3 Salvagex1 Monster Rebornx1 Swords of Revealing Lightx1 Heavy Stormx1 Giant Trunadex1 Mystical Space Typhoonx2 Big Wave Small Wave- 13 spells x1 Torrential Tributex1 Mirror Forcex2 Tornado Wall* x2 Whirlpool- 6 traps [spoiler=* Custom Card]Whirlpool - Continuous Trap CardIf "Umi" is not face-up on the field, this card is destroyed. Whenever your WATER monsters' card effect sends a card(s) from your opponent's side of the field to his/her hand, the cards are sent to the Graveyard instead. [spoiler=Darrell]Age: 18 Darrell is another duelist who started his dueling at the Duel Arena, with a very unstable deck. He became an incredibly strong duelist with a Deck that never established a theme. He has now come to the Colosseum to show off his skills, as he believes that luck will enable him to win in any situation. He can be very strange at times, but normally uses his head in tough situations. He has been accused by many of his friends to have the intrisnic ability to "be able to pull the right card at the right time" to win duels.

Aesirson Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Do you accept Characters? In that case, I got a character who fitts this fan-fic very good! :D Julius Cazar Age: 20 Julius is the current Colosseum master. He got his deck from his father, who is the creator of the Colosseum. He duels with expert skills and has created a very strong bond with his monsters. He likes dueling more than everything else, but he hates losing. He's a nice guy, but can be very arrogant sometimes.

Skyson Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Appreciate the offer, but I'm not really accepting characters. Ideas are good, though. I was actually going to have a later character who runs Gladiator Beasts, to help assert the theme of the Colosseum. I have a base for an eighth character, and once I get his Deck together I'll start chapter one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesirson Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Ok :) I', going to read the fanfic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyson Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Chapter One: To Encounter a Rival Current Setting: Alex's House, 5 Days Until Tournament Alex sat with his Deck in front of him, re-arranging cards furiously as he contemplated strategies to himself. He had never felt a need to prepare for tournaments at the Colloseum before now, as it suddenly felt to him that everything was on the line. He wouldn't be coming back to the familiar place after this tournament, and would possibly have to... if worst came to worst... move to Duel Arena. But he wasn't going to start thinking like that. He was moreso focused on the task at hand, constructing his Deck to be the best Deck possible. He was distracted by a vibration in his jacket pocket, his cell phone suddenly ringing with the familiar beeps of the standard ringtone. Alex set his cards down and reached into his pocket, hastily taking the phone out and opening it. He mechanically spoke, "Hello?" The voice on the other side was a less bold one, as if he hadn't intended to call, "Hey, is this Alex?" "Yes." "Right. Well, um, this is Vince. I've seen you a lot around the Colloseum, and I figured you'd be entering this tournament." Alex laughed, unsure why Vince sounded so nervous, "Of course! I've heard that those Duel Arena punks are coming to give the Colloseum a powerful farewell, and I have to be there to show them who's boss!" Vince chuckled a little, taking a gulp as his voice suddenly became clearer, as if Alex's words had felt very true, "Yeah.. yeah. So, would you mind if I came over to play a game or two with you? I can sit here and rearrange cards all I want, but the best way to see how things work is to play, right?" "Of course! I'm free right now, and I was just about to call to find an opponent! Come on over!" "Alright, I'll be over." Vince hung up, picked up his Deck, and made his way out the door, headed out to Alex's house. The sun was out and shining through the town, so Vince travelled light in blue jeans and a dark purple shirt, spikes of long brown hair defining his face. He absentmindedly shuffled his Deck on the way to Alex's house. As he made it about halfway, though, a door to his right suddenly opened with a great force, slamming against the house. A tall boy with a flat top of brown hair and brown eyes grinned towards Vince, who had been startled by the sudden crash. The boy eyed Vince's cards curiously, reaching into his own pocket, shouting boldly out to the traveler, "Hey you! Where are you headed with those cards?" Vince spoke calmly back, "I'm headed to a friend's house to practice for the tournament." "Why bother with your little friends when you have a challenge right here in front of you?" the boy laughed, taking out his own Deck of cards and quickly shuffling them. Vince raised an eyebrow towards the other, thinking to himself before turning to him, "Alright, if you have to run out of your house just to find people to play, you can't be too great." The boy laughed once, looking with amazement at Vince, "Can't be too great? You don't know who I am? Ah.. you must be one of those Colosseum players, of course you've never heard of me. The name's Tony, and I'm one of Duel Arena's top duelists!" He walked forward, "I think I'll take you out right here for your ignorance, since I need to warm up for this little tournament!" Duel: Vince vs. Tony Vince: I'll make the first move by summoning Darkness Ascendant! Then, I'll set two cards, and end my turn. Now Darkness Ascendant gains a Spell Counter! Tony: Whatever. Draw! I'll summon Storm Slasher Indigo to your Ascendant's column! Since it has a face-down card behind it, Indigo gains 300 ATK. And now, I set 1 card face-down behind Indigo, so he gains another 300 ATK! Next I activate Zephyr Skies! While my Storm Slasher is in the same column as your monster, he gains 400 ATK during battle! Now with 2700 points, Indigo will tear your Darkness Ascendant to shreds! Vince: 6800/Tony: 8000 Tony: Then I'll set another card. Your turn! Vince: Draw. Perfect! I'll put down Summon Spirit, and turn my first face-down card up! Pitch-Black Power Stone! I'll move one Spell Counter to my Summon Spirit, then activate Reasoning! Your call. Tony: 4, like most monsters. Vince: Torrential Tribute... hah! Summon Apprentice Magician! With his effect, I can put a third Spell Counter on Summon Spirit! Now I remove 2 to activate its effect! Pick up the top 2 cards of my deck.. too perfect! Summon Dark Magician of Chaos! With his effect, I can recall Reasoning to my hand. Tony: A whole lot of nothing, if you ask me. Vince: Well, I'm not asking you. Dark Magician of Chaos, wipe out his Storm Slasher! Tony: Not today! Activate my face-down card, Mirror Force! Vince: That just leaves me with Apprentice Magician.. I end my turn. Tony: As expected. Draw! I'll summon Storm Slasher Cobalt next to Indigo! Then I'll flip my other face-down card up, Icarus Attack! By tributing Cobalt, I can destroy your Apprentice Magician and your face-down card! And now, with 2300 ATK, Indigo attacks you directly! Vince: 4500/Tony: 8000 Tony: You're not faring too well! Make your move, and try to at least put up a fight! Vince: Fine. Draw... amazing! Summon Skilled Dark Magician! You're finished now! Activate Reasoning again! Tony: 4! Vince: Wrong again, summon Dark Magician! Tony: ...Great. Vince: Oh no, the greatness has only begun! With Pitch-Black Power Stone, I can place a second Spell Counter onto Skilled Dark Magician. Next I activate Premature Burial, to bring my Darkness Ascendant back into play! Vince: 3700/Tony: 8000 Vince: That gives my Skilled Dark Magician his third Spell Counter. Next, I Tribute Skilled Dark Magician to summon a second Dark Magician from my Deck! Dark Magician, wipe out Storm Slasher Indigo! Vince: 3700/Tony: 7500 Tony: No! Vince: Dark Magician and Darkness Ascendant, take a swing at him as well! Vince: 3700/Tony: 3500 Vince: You'll find that once this deck gets to speed, it can take you out in an instant. Darkness Ascendant gains a Spell Counter, and now make your move. Tony: I shall.. draw! I'll set two cards face-down, then Tribute them with Charity of Continuity to draw 2 new cards! I'll summon Storm Summoner. By discarding Slasher Assault, I can summon Storm Slasher Cobalt from my Graveyard next to Storm Summoner's column, right in front of your Dark Magician! Now my Cobalt's effect can destroy your Magician! Storm Summoner, attack his Darkness Ascendant! Vince: 3600/Tony: 3500 Tony: That will end my turn. Vince: Not a very good move. Draw. I'll set one monster face-down, and attack Cobalt with my other Dark Magician! Vince: 3600/Tony: 2200 Vince: That ends my turn. Tony: Draw! I'll discard Storm Summoner to use Storm Summoner's effect, to resurrect Cobalt again! Destroy his Dark Magician! Storm Summoner, attack his monster! Vince: You've activated Old Vindictive Magician's effect, and now your Storm Summoner is destroyed! Tony: Fine. I've wiped your annoying Dark Magicians off the field, so I'm satisfied. Go. Vince: Draw. One more go at this, activate Reasoning! Tony: 4... Vince: I may lose Magician's Circle and Miracle Restoring, but you do enjoy being wrong. Summon Dark Magician Girl! Her power rises to 2600 with the Dark Magicians in my Graveyard! Attack his Storm Slasher! Vince: 3600/Tony: 800 Vince: This is your last move. Go! Tony: Draw. Set 1 monster. Go. Vince: Draw! Lucky for you, I didn't draw a monster. Wipe out his monster, Dark Magician Girl. End. Tony: Draw... nothing. I lose this one. Vince: One more attack, Dark Magician Girl! Vince: 3600/Tony: 0 Tony sighed and picked up his cards, shaking his head as he returned to his house, "That was a good warm-up. Maybe all of you Colosseum-goers aren't terrible. But I'm not going to take it easy next time." Vince laughed and watched Tony walk off, putting his Deck away with a satisfied look. He then turned around and headed home, as he opened his cell phone and dialed Alex's number. Alex picked up the phone, a slightly anxious voice meeting him, "Vince! Where are you?" Vince laughed as he answered, a new confidence in his voice, "I'm headed back home. To be honest, I'm not in the mood for a duel right now. But just in case you were wondering, I don't think the Duel Arena players are much to worry about." He closed the cell phone, and made his way back home with a new sense of confidence.
