Chapter 6 - The Duel Disk, Locater Card, and Rare Hunters

The next day of school came. Kay was sitting outside with Miho and Ryou.

"So you're invited to join in Kaiba's tournement?" Miho asked. Kay sipped her soda and nodded.

"Mmm-hmm."

"Well, Kay, that's great. I didn't realize you duel." Kay smirked at Ryou.

"I'll tell you a secret. I'm the German Duel Monsters and Dungeon Dice Monsters Champion."

"What?!" Ryou and Miho said. Kay nodded.

"Yup. They call me the Black Cat. I always wear a mask and black clothes when I duel in Germany. I intend on going for European champion at a tournament this spring."

"Wow, Kay. There's just no stopping you."

"Ya got that right."

"So you're picking up your duel disk after school today?"

"Yeah." Kay sighed. "I hate to admit it, but that duel disk far outranks the duel arenas my uncle made. It's kind of depressing, really." She stirred her drink with her straw.

"Well, don't get yourself down, Kay."

"I won't. Industrial Illusions specializes in duel monsters anyway. Kaiba Corp can never steal that title. If Kaiba tries anything, I'll kill him."

"You really don't like him, do you?" Ryou asked.

"Not really. He's so rude and he insulted my family. I won't take that sitting down."

"So what are you gonna do?"

Kay smirked evilly. "Smoke him at his own game in his own tournament. And Yugi too."

"Wait, you hate Yugi too?" Ryou asked.

"Yeah. What of it?"

"He's sort of our friend." Kay shrugged.

"Well, I don't like him."

"Why?" Kay banged her fist on the table.

"He's the one who put my uncle in a coma!"

"No, that's can't be." Ryuo nodded.

"Yeah. When Yugi beat Pegasus, he disappeared so Yugi went to find him. And when he got there, they were carrying Pegasus from the tower."

"Well, he's the only culprit we have, so unless you can show me evidence he's innocent or unless my uncle wakes up from the coma and says it wasn't Yugi, I will loathe him."

"Well...if that's what you want to do."



Kay entered the shop. There was a man there wearing glasses, a bandana, and had a bit of a beard and a mustache.

"Yes? May I help you?" he asked.

"I'm here to register for Battle City."

"Alright, what is your name, miss?"

"Kay Simms." He typed on his computer.

"Not bad, five stars. That's the highest rank."

"I'm sorry?" He turned the monitor around and she saw her a picture of herself, five stars on the bottom of the screen, and a picture of her Hirozonryu card.

"You see, each duelist has a ranking of stars. You need a rank of three and a half or more stars to be able to participate."

(NOTE: I am not sure this is accurate. In the manga, it said five or more stars. In the show, it only said five is the highest rank so I went with the show)

"I see. And why do you have a picture of my Hyozonryu card?" she asked.

"You see, all the duelists have the rarest card they have ever used in a duel on their page. Kaiba Corp. wen tto great lengths to learn everything about you and your deck."

"Mmm-hmm. Just like Kaiba to give himself such an advantage."

"Well, here is your duel disk. And you're in luck, it's my last one."

"Thanks." Kay took the duel disk and walked out of the shop.

She walked down an alley toward her apartment and heard someone from behind her.

"Who's there?" She spun around to see three men in dark cloaks. "Can I help you?"

"We are rare hunters."

"...rare what?"

"I see you've been blind to us. Well, we rob duelists of their rare cards. We stalk our prey, and now we are after your Hyozonryu, little girl."

"That's nice."

"So prepare to duel for it under Battle City regulations, or you won't escape this alley alive." Kay felt the prescence of more Rare hunters behind her. She smirked.

"Well with that kind of enthusiasm, how can I refuse?" She opened up the box containing her duel disk and put it on her right arm then put her deck in. The rare hunter did the same.

"Duel!" They both gained 4000 lifepoints.

Kay drew her hand.

"Ladies first." The rare hunter frowned but drew a card.

"I summon Sonic Bird." A monster which looked like a Bald Eagle wearing goggles appeared with 1400 attack points. Kay drew a card.

"I summon Getsu Fuhma in attack mode." A fierce woman dressed almost like a samurai with long red hair appeared with 1700 attack points. "And I'm not done yet, I equip her with Sword of Dark Destruction, which raises her attack points to 2100." The sword appeared in Getsu Fuhma's hand. "Getsu Fuhma, attack his Sonic Bird with Dark Blade Strike."

Getsu Fuhma slashed Sonic Bird and the Rare Hunter lost 700 life points.

"Grr." He drew a card. "I summon Giant Soldier of Stone in defense mode." The rock soldier appeared with 2000 defense points.

Kay drew a card.

"I'll play one card face down and summon Mataza the Zapper." The samurai appeared with 1300 attack points. "Now! Getsu Fuhma, destroy that rock." Getsu Fuhma attacked and the stone soldier crumbled. "Now, thanks to Mataza's special ability, she can attack you twice."

The Rare Hunter winced slightly.

"Mataza! Attack him directly with two shiruken blade attacks." Mataza attacked the rare hunter twice and he lost 2600 points.

Kay: 4000

Rare Hunter: 700

"Had enough?"

"Never!" He drew a card and smirked. "I pllay monster reborn to summon my Giant soldier of stone and then I sacrifice him to summon the Gear Golem: the Moving Fortress." (I think that's the right name) The...monster appeared with 2300 defense points. The Rare Hunter laughed. "I'm one card away from victory, you cannot win."

"Oh yeah?" Kay asked. She drew a card and smirked. "I sacrifice both of my monsters to summon my beautiful Blue Eyes White Dragon."

"What?!" the Rare Hunter said. The beautiful dragon appeared, its scales glittering white in the light, it's other scales blue like sapphires. It roared and seemed the glare menacingly at the rare hunter. you all know the attack strength of Blue Eyes, right? Well if oyu don't it's 3000. "ell, your monster may be powerful, but it can't do any life point damage thanks to my fortress." The rare hunter laughed.

"Think so? Well, sorry to disappoint you."

"WHAT?!"

"I play Fairy Meteor Crush! With its power, the amount of your defense subtracted from my Blue Eye's attack is dealt to your life points."

"No! I'm finished!"

"Now Blue Eyes, finish him off with White Lightening!" The Blue Eyes reared its head and blasted a powerful lightening attack, destroying the fortress. The aftershock of the blast hit the rare hunter and his life points hit zero.

Kay sighed.

"Well that was boring." The holograms disappeared and the rare hunter fell to his knees.

"I...I lost...but that's impossible..I have Exodia in my deck..." Kay ignored him and pushed past the other hunters, who were also shocked.

"Out of my way." She got home and put her duel disk away. She noticed there was a clear card with what looked like a puzzle piece in it and a note saying to go to Clock Tower Square in a week. "Fine, whatever."
