Inside the yellow duel arena, there was a large dueling platform two feet above the ground, with a stadium’s seating for the crowd. The room was empty except for Spirit Summers, Ulqewora Sinners, and Joshua Coolman, all three in black tuxedos, standing at the side of the platform away from the entrance.
Ulqewora: Any moment now.
Ulqewora checked his watched. It was twelve o’ clock sharp.
Spirit: Let’s just hope he’s a calm and sensible guy who won’t spend most of his time on video-games.
Spirit gives a mean look to Josh.
Joshua: Hey! I’m crazy about Gears of War! You can’t just say no to Gears of War!
Suddenly, all three men hear footsteps from the entrance, and redirect their attention towards it. In came a soldier in a bright green armor, causing loud sounds each time he took a step forwards. There were black lines between certain spaces in the suit which allowed for movement. The helmet had a wide yellow screen which stretched from one ear to the other, and there was a frame drawn inside the screen. The soldier held a mysterious purple gun with several needles of the same color on top in his right hand, and wore the academy’s usual white and blue duel disk in his left. Joshua’s eyes widened as he saw the newcomer. He rested his left hand on his head in shock and pointed straight at the duelist in green with his right.
Joshua: It’s Sierra One One Seven! The Master Chief!
Spirit: Who?
Joshua shot a surprised look back to Spirit.
Joshua: Don’t you ever play Halo?
Spirit slapped his right hand right to his face in ashamement.
Spirit: Sweet mother of nature!
The newcomer spoke.
Master Chief: What’s going on here? Do I sense any Covenant in here? I sure do not. The enemy’s out there and we’re here arguing with each other.
Joshua quickly took a step forwards in front of Spirit. He stands very formally and swings his right hand up to his forehead in a way to salute the soldier.
Joshua: Sir, yes, sir!
Master Chief: At ease, soldier.
Joshua lets his hand down. Master Chief walks his way up the platform stairs and onto his side of the massive duel field.
Ulqewora: Look, if this is some kind of joke, we don’t have time for such silly games. It’s either you take off that mask or leave.
Suddenly, the Chief’s voice turned from his usual dark voice to a squeaky fifteen-year-older’s.
Master Chief: Gimme a break! Can’t a guy do an entrance here?
The solder grabs hold of his helmet.
Joshua: At last! After ten years, we finally get to see his face!
Spirit slapped Joshua in the back of his head.
Spirit: Focus!
Master Chief takes off his helmet, and reveals the face of a young black-haired and light-toned male.
Master Chief: Hi.
Ulqewora: Mr. Force, is it?
Kimo: Hey now! Not too formally. Kimo would do fine.
Ulqewora sighed.
Ulqewora: Well, now that you’re here, we can finally test your skills to determine the dormitory in which you belong in.
Kimo: Bring it on! I’m all wired up!
Kimo sets down his Needler gun beside him. Spirit gritted his teeth towards the naïve youngster.
Spirit: That’s it!
Spirit snatches the duel disk in Joshua’s hand, and slams it on his right arm.
Joshua: Hey.
He places his 40-card deck in its rightful place.
Ulqewora: Spirit, Joshua was supposed to test this new member.
Spirit: Don’t worry; I’ll do it for him instead.
Ulqewora: But…
Spirit turned his neck and shouted back to Ulqewora.
Spirit: I said I’ll do it!
Kimo: Hey!
The three men turned their heads to Kimo.
Kimo: If you’re all going to argue and forget about my test, can we skip to the A+?
Spirit gritted his teeth even harder. He stood with his back arched and the fingers of his free hand were twitching uncontrollably, indicating anger.
Spirit: Why you little…!
Kimo: Enough yapping, more whamming!
Kimo picks up his own deck and places it in his deck slot. The deck seemed quite large; it was much larger than Spirit’s deck.
Spirit: Say, what’s with the deck?
Kimo: You mean my sixty-card deck?
All three men were caught in shock by Kimo’s reply.
Ulqewora, Joshua, and Spirit: 60 cards?!
Kimo: Well, yeah. I know that’s bad, but I build this deck pretty good.
Spirit: First rule: Any sixty-card deck is bad.
Kimo: Whatever you say, Pops!
Spirit’s face burst with rage.
Spirit: YOU CALL ME THAT ONE MORE TIME AND I’LL SHOVE THAT LITTLE TOY OF YOURS RIGHT UP YOUR LITTLE…!
Joshua: Actually, you can’t really do that, you see.
Spirit turns to face Joshua, who raises a finger to speak with his eyes half-shut like a teacher during class.
Joshua: But you can always use one of those needles instead, since it’s small enough to fit inside a human’s anus.
Outraged, Spirit lifts his right leg and brutally bashes Joshua in his crouch.
Joshua: Eeeeeeeeeeeee!
Joshua makes funny faces as he howls in pain. He then falls back and passes out. Spirit then turns to Kimo once again.
Spirit: Alright, you little monkey! Get over with it!
Kimo: Sure thing!
Kimo draws a card.
Kimo: I set a monster card and end my turn.
Spirit: A-Are you serious?
Kimo: You bet I am!
Spirit: Ah, fine.
Spirit then draws a card.
Spirit: I summon Ehren, Lightsworn Monk!
A small blue portal appears on the ground before Spirit. A dark skinned warrior in a white chest armor and red skirt floated out of the portal. She had her hair tied back into two ponytails and she carried a golden staff with her.
Spirit: Now Ehren, attack!
Ehren dashes towards the face-down monster and slams the tip of her mace right in front of it, causing a gust of wind which sends the card’s hologram flying away.
Spirit: When Ehren attacks a face-down monster, it sends it back to the deck. Now I set a card face-down end my turn, and with that, I have to send three cards from the top of my deck due to Ehren’s effect.
Kimo: I know, I know.
Spirit: Don’t get cocky!
Spirit then picks the three cards from the top of his deck. He holds then in front of the Graveyard card ejector, and allows it to swallow in his cards. When he stops at the third card, he pulls it away from the ejector in time.
Spirit: Would you look at that?! I just sent Wulf to the Graveyard! And you know what that means?
Kimo: You get to special summon him?
Spirit: Where on earth did you learn about all that?
Spirit slams the card on his disk. A second portal appears, and so emerges an anthropomorphic wolf in white with a massive golden lance. The wolf also had three long claws attached to his right arm. Kimo then draws a card.
Kimo: I discard Sea Koala from my hand to special summon Egotistical Ape.
A portal appears on Kimo’s side and so rises a small brown monkey.
Kimo: His second effect is I get to decrease his level by the level of the monster I discarded, so now, he’s a level 3 tuner. Now I normal summon Mine Mole to the field.
A second portal appears and out leaps a small grey mole with a flower on its nose, wearing a miner’s helmet and holding a mining pick.
Spirit: Not bad.
Now I tune Mine Mole to Egotistical Ape.
The ape’s body disappears and in place are three green hologram rings. The all fly through Mine Mole from top to bottom, and as they do, Mine Mole glows brightly, and reforms into the shape of a full-grown horse.
Kimo: I synchro summon Thunder Unicorn!
The light fades away, and there stands a blue unicorn with a gorgeous yellow mane and a lightning bolt for a horn. The beast even had lightning crests all over its chest.
Ulqewora: Nice going, kid.
Kimo: I then activate Thunder Unicorn’s effect. For every monster on my side of the field, one of your monsters loses five-hundred attack points.
Lightning emits out of the unicorn’s horn, which strikes Ehren and electrocutes her.
Kimo: Now Lightning Unicorn, attack! Thunder dash!
The Unicorn dashes towards Ehren, and it impales her with its giant horn. As she wails in agony, she shatters into many tiny glass pieces. Spirit’s lifepoints fall down to 2900.
Spirit: Lucky shot, kid, but now I activate Call Of The Haunted, which allows me to special summon Ehren from the Graveyard.
Ehren appears once again on the field.
Ulqewora: (This kid isn’t half bad at all. I wonder if he can still keep it up this way. And how’s Drago putting up?).

Worker: May I take your order, Sir?
Drago was in front in line in a McDonald’s restaurant, still in his Stardust transformation. He was right in front of the fat chubby workman in the red hat and suit.
Drago: Yeah, I’d like one Big Mac meal, Super-size please. I’ll have a Coke for a drink, and no ice please.
The worker taps several buttons on his computer.
Worker: Nice suit. Where can I get one?
Drago: I made it myself.
Worker: Oh, nice. Do you work for a company or anything?
Drago: Not really. Now concerning my order…
Worker: Oh, right away, Sir.
