DUELISTS DREAM: S1E1: THE NEW DUELIST
Drama

2023
EXT. CITY PARK
1. EXT. CITY PARK
We see Jackson walking through a park of Crestview in the
early Sunday morning. He looks down at his phone to see the
time, ten in the morning. He looks around and decides to sit
down on a nearby bench. He angles his head up, closing his
eyes and lets the spring morning sun shine down and warm him
up from the colder night. He listens to the sounds in the
park, a nearby dog parking as he chases a ball, a group of
kids playing soccer down in a field, parents playing with
their children, and...
RANDOM DUELIST #1
I summon Dark Magician in attack
mode!
(Jack jumps at the action)
With no monsters on your side of
the field and your life points so
low, I attack directly for game!
Jack shivers at the sound and quickly stands up, shuffling
his backpack on its single shoulder strap and leaves the
park. He can still hear the cackles of the kids behind him,
sending more shivers down his spine. He passes by more and
more duelists, trying to ignore them all, finally tuning out
the sounds of the park by putting in some earphones and
walking away to the sound of the opening "Warriors" by
Imagine Dragons.

The opening matches much of the lyrics in the song, fading in
on Jackson holding a deck of Duel Monsters cards as a Black
Feather falls in front of him.

A young Jack watches his father play Duel Monsters and
actually sees the monsters come to life, frightening him.

Lily Chen back to back with her Sister Blaze look down and
up, as the camera spins, zooming in on Lily looking shy and
timid, while Blaze looks confident, powerful and ambitious.

6. INT. DUELING ARENA
Kyle is seen holding his arms crossed and with an arrogant
smile stretched across his face as the music swells to the
climax.
7. INT. DUELING ARENA
The camera zooms past all the side characters in order of
introduction, starting with Mr.Takahashi, then Samantha, then
Ryan, then Shadow, then Jennifer Kim and then finally David
Nguyen. We then slow down on Kyle, then Blaze, then two hands
come together as the camera spans around them to reveal Lily
and Jack together looking into an open arena. The camera
zooms out and we see the title: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist Dreams
8. OPENING END
FADE IN:
9. EXT. TAKASHI'S CARD EMPORIUM
An older man pushes his way outside his store carrying what
appears to be a cardboard cutout of a Majestic Red Dragon. He
struggles to unfold the whole cutout as the opening of his
store draws near. Jack takes out his earphones as he notices
the old man struggle and picks up the pace, jogging forward
to help him out. Grabbing the bottom and unfolding it, he
looks up to the old man.
JACK
(strains to open the
cutout)
You try and harder and you're gonna
need to sit out the rest of the day
Mr. Takahashi.
MR. TAKAHASHI
(chuckles)
Please I am only 59, you look like
you're barely keeping it together,
did you not have your morning full
english or something?
JACK
(huffs in frustration)
I don't eat Full English's
Takahashi,I didn't feel like eating
this morning.
The two finish setting up the display. Takahashi stands up
and slaps his hand down on the display.
MR. TAKAHASHI
3.
MR. TAKAHASHI
(Prideful)
Ah, perfect, this new set will
bring a new life to this game, have
you seen the new cards? The
reprints in this set alone, will
promote the diversity this game
needs.
JACK
(signs in regret)
No sir, I haven't really had the
time, tests just finished and my
brain is just straight mush.
Mr. Takahashi opens the door, a jingle of the door alert goes
off.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Don't worry Jack, lets head inside,
I need you to sort through some
stuff and put them in binders, I
can finish setting up inside.
10. INT. TAKASHI'S CARD EMPORIUM
The two walk inside Takahashi's Card Emporium, and Jack takes
a long look at the store. Bleach white tables fill most of
the store, easily capable of holding up to sixteen players.
The walls are with products and books on shelves. He walks
over to the glass counters containing collections of Duel
Monsters cards beautifully placed in protectors for customers
to view. Behind the counter are older Duel Monsters sets and
more expensive items. He walks on the soft carpeted floor and
heads behind the counter into a back room. Flicking on the
light he sees more shelves filled with opened and unopened
boxes, littering both the shelves and the floor. Jack looks
around for a box before sticking his head back out...
JACK
Hey, whats the name of the set?!
All I see is the brown ocean of
cardboard boxes.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Absolute Powerforce, I got 10
cases, they should be stacked next
to each other!
Jack turns back to the cluttered mess and begins to look
through finally pulling out a single case and stepping back
out.
JACK
Here ya go, I'll get to those cards
now, where are they?
MR. TAKAHASHI
4.
MR. TAKAHASHI
There over there behind the
counter, use the trade binder for
the red sleeved ones and the
personal binder for the rest.
Takahasi points out to a collection of piles mixed with blue
and red card sleeves. Jack takes off his backpack and sweater
putting them to the side. He grabs the piles and pulls out a
pair of binders, and gets to work.
11. INT. TAKASHI'S CARD EMPORIUM
As he's sorting through the blue and red sleeved cards, he
looks up to see Mr. Takahashi taking out smaller piles of
cars in singular colored sleeves. Jack looks up at the nearby
clock to see the time, 11:10 am. The store was open. He walks
around the counter and flips the open sign over, but as he
moves to walk back Mr. Takahashi calls him over.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Hey Jack, come here.
Jack walks over and he sees the two piles, a pair of Duel
Monster decks.
MR. TAKAHASHI (CONT'D)
You know, you've been working here
part time for a few years, and yet
I've never seen you even play with
these cards. Why?
JACK
(flustered)
Well, I mean, I've got school, and
I can't have distractions with my
learning, trying to get that higher
education and all that.
MR. TAKAHASHI
(questioning)
And what kind of higher education
do you want, its the end of your
senior year. Got any aspirations?
JACK
(giving up)
Yeah, I have no idea. In truth sir,
I've wanted to play, but every time
I try to, I get weird.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Weird how?
JACK
5.
JACK
I get, shivers, goosebumps, the
heebie-jeebies. I just feel
uncomfortable. At this point it
seems like the cards just don't
like me.
MR. TAKAHASHI
(chuckling)
My boy, the cards don't hate you,
you just don't have any confidence
in the game. Its understandable. It
can be confusing and a struggle for
the less strategic of our people.
Doesn't look like we'll get any
early customers, why don't we play
a game while we wait?
JACK
I don't know, I don't know anything
about Duel Monsters, I don't
understand anything about it.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Yes, you don't have to repeat,
listen. The scariest things in
life, are the things we never try.
Unlike jumping out of an airplane,
this won't kill you.
JACK
(mumbling)
I don't need to add the fact there
is a parachute on their back
JACK (CONT'D)
Fine, how do we play?
Mr. Takahashi puts away two of the piles and leaves two on
the counter.
MR. TAKAHASHI
First, we must pick our decks, in
front of you are the simplest to
learn and my two favorites. Pick
either and I'll teach you from
there.
Jack nods and looks down. As he does, the cards slowly start
to warp and move in front of him. He slowly moves his hands
over the two decks. Over the orange deck, his arm shivers as
if something small and rough is moving over his skin. He
moves his hand over to the other, and he hears the caw of
birds. Picking it up and turning it over he sees the card:
Blackwing - Gale, the Whirlwind.
JACK
6.
JACK
Some kind of bird deck? Are my
monsters able to fly over and
attack my opponents directly?
Mr. Takahashi raises his eyebrow as Jack speaks some of the
jargon of the game.
MR. TAKAHASHI
(chuckling)
No no no, thats some of the rules
the children in the playground play
with. The Blackwing cards are more
built around bird swarms, like the
formations in the sky and the
groups in the street. You flood
your field and destroy their
resources.
Jack nods actually understanding the idea.
JACK
Alright, well how do we play?
MR. TAKAHASHI
Well, we'll start simply.
Mr. Takahashi teaches Jack the rules of the game, and after a
few practice games, Jack breathes out a sigh of relief.
MR. TAKAHASHI (CONT'D)
You alright? You look well,
actually more relaxed than you've
ever been in this building.
JACK
(nodding)
Yeah, exactly what you said.
He looks down at his cards, and still hearing the caw of the
birds. He nods,
JACK (CONT'D)
I want a challenge sir, I want to
duel you.
Mr. Takahashi raises an eyebrow and looks at the clock.
Twelve PM. He looks back,
MR. TAKAHASHI
Alright, but I'll have to use my
best deck.
Jack nods as the two walk away from the counter and sit down.
INT. TAKASHI'S CARD EMPORIUM
7.
12. INT. TAKASHI'S CARD EMPORIUM
The two sit down at a nearby table with a good view of the
front door. They start shuffling their decks and Mr.
Takahashi looks right into his eyes,
MR. TAKAHASHI
I worry for your mental abilities
Jack, just picking up a gain you
were afraid to play, and taking on
a veteren? I've won a few regional
tournaments in my day.
JACK
So, when stone tablets were all the
rage.
Mr. Takahashi growls as they finish and put their decks down.
They both draw five cards.
MR. TAKAHASHI
You can go first kid, lets see what
you've learned.
Jack draws a sixth card from the top of his deck, looking
down he thinks
JACK (VOICE OVER)
Alright, lets see, good removal,
and a few options.
Jack then shivers, looking up to Mr. Takahashi, he senses
something, he feels that Mr. Takahashi is almost projecting
what his deck does, something fast, and something old.
JACK (CONT'D)
Lets test the waters, I place two
cards face-down, and then I normal
summon, Blackwing - Shura the Blue
Flame. And then I use the effect of
my Blackwing - Bora the Spear, if I
control a "Blackwing" monster other
than Bora, I can special summon
this card from my hand. Then I end
my turn.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Good plays, a strong opening, but
nothing that can't be beaten. I
draw.
Takahashi looks at his hand, and goes deep into thought for a
moment before making a move.
MR. TAKAHASHI (CONT'D)
I will just place four cards facedown and end my turn.
JACK (VOICE OVER)
8.
JACK (VOICE OVER)
Four cards? In the test games, he
only ever put one defensive card
face-down, and normal summoned a
monster. Something isn't right,
lets see.
JACK (CONT'D)
Before the end of your turn, I
don't trust what you have there, I
activate my trap card, Dust
Tornado. I destroy your middle set
card, and set one from my hand.
MR. TAKAHASHI
You destroyed my Waboku good
choice.
JACK (VOICE OVER)
Waboku, that protects him and his
monsters from destruction, lets see
whats next.
JACK (CONT'D)
I activate my next set card, the
spell card Mystical Space Typhoon.
I target your left most set card
and destroy it.
Mr. Takahashi lets out a low moan of frustration as he moves
his card to the graveyard, revealing the trap card Jar of
Greed.
JACK (VOICE OVER)
Jar of greed? Oh no, if he's
running that with protection
filling the field, he must be
searching for something, some kind
of win condition, but I wonder what
it is?
JACK (CONT'D)
I draw, I enter the battle phase,
Shura the Blue Flame attacks your
defense position monster.
Mr. Takahashi smiles as he flips over the monster Emissary of
the Afterlife, and moves it to the graveyard.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Fortunately for both of us, when
this monster is sent to the
graveyard, we can both add a level
one to three monster to our hands
from our decks.
JACK
9.
JACK
Well before that happens, Shura's
effect activates, allowing me to
special summon a Blackwing monster
with fifteen hundred or less attack
points to the field, and I name,
Vayu - The Emblem of Honor, in
defense mode.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Well thats all fine and dandy,
since you clearly have no other
monsters that fit my effects bill,
only I benefit, I add, Right Leg of
the Forbidden One to my hand.
JACK (VOICE OVER)
The Forbidden One? I know what his
plan is, there are only three ways
to win a duel. You can reduce your
opponents life points to zero. You
can make your opponent draw out
their entire deck, or you can have
all five pieces of Exodia the
Forbidden One in your hand at once.
Thats one peace, I need to end this
fast.
JACK (CONT'D)
I continue my attack, with Bora the
Spear, he attacks you directly!
Mr. Takahashi puts a hand up
MR. TAKAHASHI
Not so fast, I activate the effect
of Battle Fader in my hand. When
I'm attacked directly, I can
special summon it to the field and
end the battle phase.
He places the card face-up in defense position.
JACK
Well I'm not done yet. I summon,
Kalut the Moonshadow to my field,
and now I perform a Synchro Summon.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Oh? You get any better at this game
and you'd might as well enter the
pro circuit, what monster will you
be summoning?
JACK
10.
JACK
Thanks Takahashi. I tune my level
one Vayu the Emblem of the Moon, my
level four Bora the Spear and my
level 3 Kalut the Moonshadow
together, to Synchro Summon,
Stardust Dragon.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Ah, one of the best cards in the
game now, but as you've already
ended your battle phase you must be
done your turn.
Jack nods at his notion.
MR. TAKAHASHI (CONT'D)
Well, I draw. I'll start by setting
one card face-down. And then
summoning my Cyber Valley in attack
mode, but it won't be around for
long. I activate one of its special
abilities, I can target itself and
one additional monster on my side
of the field, removing them both
from play, and draw two cards. I
target my Battle Fader as the
second target.
Mr. Takahashi draws the two cards and smiles. Jack feels a
surge of fear as he watches.
JACK (VOICE OVER)
I can tell, he's drawn another
piece, I hope he doesn't draw
anything else.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Well, no monsters to summon, I'll
just place another face-down card
and end my turn.
JACK
I draw! What?
Jack looks at the card he's drawn and his eyes widen.
JACK (VOICE OVER)
Mr. Takahashi told me that every
deck nowadays has a boss monster,
either in their Main deck or the
Extra deck, Blackwings boss monster
is a Synchro monster in the Extra
Deck, but there is also one in the
Main, but he never told me, but now
I have it.
JACK (CONT'D)
11.
JACK (CONT'D)
Well, you wanted a quick duel, and
now you've got it. Due to the
Synchro summon of my Stardust
Dragon, I now have three Dark
monsters in my Graveyard. Which
allows me to special summon this,
Dark Armed Dragon!
Jack places the card down and Mr. Takahashi audibly gasps,
MR. TAKAHASHI
What? I thought I took that card
out, its too valuable to put in a
deck like yours.
JACK
Well your mistake, is my gain, I
activate its effect. I can banish a
Dark monster in my Graveyard, to
destroy any card on your field. So
I banish Kalut, to destroy your
left most card.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Well, then I activate my traps,
first I activate the trap you've
chosen, Good Goblin Housekeeping,
allowing me to draw one card, but
now I activate a chain link, by
activating another trap card
Waboku. But thats not all, I add,
Reckless greed to the chain link.
Now as you don't know, I will
explain. When you chain a cards
activation, that goes on something
called a link, that link is then
destroyed by resolving the effects
of cards that were activated last,
so first I'll draw two cards from
Reckless Greed. Then, my Waboku
resolves and now I will not lose
any life points and my cards won't
be destroyed by battle. And
finally, by Goblin housekeeper
resolves, I draw one card, and
return another to my deck.
Jack sighs, his win still not assured as long as his opponent
still has life points and cards to draw.
JACK
I end my turn.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Hm, I'll place two more cards facedown and end my turn.
JACK
12.
JACK
I draw. I summon, Blizzard the Far
North in attack mode. Blizzards
effect when he's normal summoned,
allows me to special summon a level
four or lower Blackwing monster
from my graveyard in defense
position.
MR. TAKAHASHI
I activate another chain link, by
activating my Reckless Greed, I'm
allowed to draw two more cards
before your monster is summoned.
He draws his cards, but his eyes go wide, Jack see's this and
pushes through.
JACK
I summon Bora back to my field, and
then Tune my level two Blizzard and
my level four Bora, to Synchro
Summon, Blackwing Armed Wing! This
may not be the strongest Blackwing
Synchro but it will be enough. You
wanted a quick duel so lets not
keep dragging this on, I activate
Dark Armed Dragon's effect twice. I
banish two Dark monsters and
destroy your set cards.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Damn.
He reveals and moves to the graveyard, two cards that won't
help him now.
JACK
Time to risk it for the biscuit,
all my monsters will attack your
directly, for a total of ninethousand four-hundred life points
of damage.
Mr. Takahashi slumps back in surprise.
MR. TAKAHASHI
I feel like I just got scammed, are
you sure you've never played this
before? You're plays were fine, but
your intuition, knowing the right
cards to destroy, and to summon,
with the few miss plays you made,
you played like an experienced
veteren.
JACK
13.
JACK
Common Mr. Takahashi, I just got
lucky. Plus, lets be fair, you
built this deck. If I didn't draw
the Dark Armed Dragon, I would have
lost for sure.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Perhaps, but once a great deck is
built, its all pilot skill. You
know, if you wanted a better
challenge, our local tournament is
in an hour if you wanted to
partake.
Jack stands up collecting his cards.
JACK
No sir, I've had enough fun for
today, I need to get back to
sorting. Thanks for the game.
Jack walks back to the counter when the door opens. The ring
of the doorbell is the only warning he has, as he's quickly
knocked to the ground. His cards fly into the air as he lands
on his rear, and this stranger lands on top of him. He looks
up and attempts to push her off, but then notices, fiery red
hair. She looks up to him, their faces closer than they
should be. They both blink as they stare at each other for
the few moments of shock. She then quickly uses him to push
off and stand up.
LILY
Sorry! I'm such a klutz, let me
help with these.
JACK
Oh, uh thats not necessary, you're
fine.
Lily quickly gets down and starts picking up the cards, Jack
kneeling down and helping her.
LILY
Blackwings? Are you new to the
area? I don't think I've seen you
around here before.
JACK
No, I work here, I just work during
the week in the later hours, and I
never work the weekends.
LILY
14.
LILY
(frantically excited)
Oh wow, you work in a game store?
That sounds amazing, you can get
first hand access to all the new
cards, have you opened up Absolute
Powerforce yet? That Drill Warrior
is looking like an absolute menace!
I actually came here to open up a
box, really wanting to stay ahead,
are you playing in the tournament,
Blackwings are really fun but I
prefer Lightsworns.
Jack finishes picking up the cards and looks back at
Takahashi who gives him a grinning thumbs up. He then cuts
her off,
JACK
Yes. I am here to play, but I
didn't think to get anything new.
LILY
Oh well, if you want, did you want
to open my packs with me? Itll make
it quicker so we don't get in the
way of everyone else.
JACK
Yeah sure.
The two walk over to Takahashi as he's opening up the
delivery box.
LILY
Hey Mr. Takahashi, can I get one of
those boxes and a pack of sleeves,
your choice on color.
He nods as he takes out the plastic wrapped box and pushes it
towards her. He then walks over to the several hanging packs
of sleeves and grabs a pack of white ones, handing it to her.
MR. TAKAHASHI
White sleeves for a new beginning.
I'll put you down on the list for
locals today, and I'll just take
everything off credit.
LILY
Thanks, come on, whats your name?
JACK
Jackson, but you can call me Jack.
LILY
I'm Lily.
INT. TAKASHI'S CARD EMPORIUM
15.
13. INT. TAKASHI'S CARD EMPORIUM
The two go and sit down at a white table in the corner. Lily
rips open the box and starts spreading the packs out for each
of them to open and look through.
LILY
(Excited)
Come on! Yes!
Lily quickly stands up in joy and triumph.
JACK
What? What? What did you get?
Lily hands the card over, Drill Warrior, but the art looked
funny as it shined.
JACK (CONT'D)
What is it? It looks weird.
LILY
Its an Ultimate Rare Drill Warrior,
its super valuable, most collectors
would jump at the opportunity to
buy this off me.
JACK
Are you gonna sell it?
Jack looks down at the card, and eyes, it. He looks up, as he
hears a drilling sound behind him, looking back he only see's
a white wall.
LILY
Whats wrong Jack? You look like you
just saw a ghost.
JACK
(chuckling)
Uh no, just got a chill up my back,
thought someone was giving me eyes,
but clearly not.
LILY
Oh yeah, I get that feeling too,
though usually there is someone
staring, gets annoying fast.
JACK
I can see why you've chosen the
corner, barely any room to fit back
here.
LILY
Yeah.
The door bell dings and groups of people start walking in and
16.
The door bell dings and groups of people start walking in and
heading to Mr. Takahashi. The silence of the store is quickly
filled by the other customers walking in, signing up for the
event and setting up at their tables. After only a few
minutes the building is full, more people sit down at Jack
and Lily's table and they make some small talk before Mr.
Takahashi stands up on a chair with a microphone.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Alright, thank you all for coming,
we have another full house today,
and a few new faces. We will have
five rounds of swiss before we go
to top cut, your match ups are on
the projector. The round starts
now, good luck!
Everyone moves to get up, including Lily to look at the
projection screen. Jack, follows looking ahead and sees his
name, at the top at table one. Everyone starts moving around,
RANDOM DUELIST #1
Hey good luck bro.
JACK
Oh, yeah you too.
LILY
Good luck Jack, maybe I'll see you
at the finals.
JACK
Me too, good luck.
Everyone moves around sitting at their seats, with Jack
finding his table and sitting down. In front of him is his
opponent, a rather well-dressed man who seems to have a
rather large chip on his soldier.
JACK (CONT'D)
Hey man, nice clothes.
JACKS OPPONENT
Yeah thanks. Where's your playmat?
JACK
My what?
JACKS OPPONENT
Your playmat, the soft rubber
bottomed mat separating our cards
from the dirty table.
Jack looks around at the other duelists and notices, he's the
only one with a mat.
JACK
17.
JACK
Oh well, I don't have one. I just
started today.
His opponent sighs as he rubs his forehead
JACKS OPPONENT
I hate newbies, you just had the
worst luck meeting me here.
JACK
(smiling with a cheeky
look)
Well, I don't know. I think my deck
and I are pretty good.
JACKS OPPONENT
Whatever, high roll?
Jack's opponent picks up a pair of red six-sided dice and
starts shaking them.
JACK
Yeah sure.
Jack's opponent throws the dice, and they roll onto a five
and a two. Jack picks up the dice and throws them too, they
land on a four and a ten.
JACKS OPPONENT
Dammit, first or second?
JACK
I'll go first. Good luck!
He ignores him and just goes to drawing, Jack does the same.
CUT TO:
14. INT. TAKASHI'S CARD EMPORIUM
Jack's opponent slams his fists down on the table, causing
the table to shake.
JACKS OPPONENT
What?! How could you of known that!
JACK
What do you mean?
JACKS OPPONENT
Every card I've set you've been
able to destroy without activating
their effects, you're cheating!
He quickly turns around to see behind him, another person
leans over to speak
RANDOM DUELIST #1
18.
RANDOM DUELIST #1
Come on Kyle there's no need to
make a scene, you lost everyone
does.
Kyle turns back to Jack his face turning dangerously to a
deep shade of red. He gathers his things and stomps out of
the building. Jacks stands up and moves through the tables,
finding Lily in a duel with someone else. He heads to the
counter to find Mr. Takahashi.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Ah we always get one of those.
JACK
Cute girls?
MR. TAKAHASHI
(chuckling)
Thats always an opinion, I mean
your opponents. We always get those
snob elitists that think this is
the pro circuit. Thankfully looks
like Kyle was the only one.
JACK
Kyle? I didn't even know his name.
And the other guy said it,
hopefully I don't run into him
again.
MR. TAKAHASHI
You'll always run into players like
him, you handled it very well. What
happened anyways?
JACK
He was playing a deck called
Infernity's I just ended up getting
lucky and popping all his trap
cards. Was easy after that.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Infernity's weakness is their backrow. And their resource management
just makes them lackluster.
Jack nods and looks around, going to a nearby rack to find
rolled up play mats. Looking through, they're mixed and a
little confusing with their images.
MR. TAKAHASHI (CONT'D)
Whats wrong?
JACK
These mats are weird, what do you
reccomend? Single color? Or with a
monster on it.
MR. TAKAHASHI
19.
MR. TAKAHASHI
Oh single colored. Less
distractions during the game.
Jack nods and takes one off the rack, he buys it then heads
to his next match.
JUMP CUT TO:
15. INT. TAKASHI'S CARD EMPORIUM
The games have been played, hours have passed and the
afternoon sun is low. It is the final two, Lily, and a player
named David. They're game has gone long, with back and forths
between them. David has a Call of the Haunted, a trap card
keeping his Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon on the field, and
a Koa'ki Meiru Drago next to him. On Lily's side she has a
Gorz token, Wulf, Lightsworn Beast and Judgement Dragon her
boss monster. Lily's life points are at five hundred and
Davids are at fifty-seven hundred. He has just enough damage
to beat Lily, but she has two cards in hand and he has none.
DAVID
Sorry Lily but you may have the
field advantage, but I have the
strength here. I enter my battle
phase and attack your Wulf with my
Darkness Metal Dragon. The
difference between them is seven
hundred which means I win.
LILY
Not exactly. Its true the
difference between our monsters is
great, but with this card, its in
my favor.
Lily places down a card called Honest.
DAVID
No way!
LILY
Yes way, during the damage step, I
activate the effect of Honest. I
send him to my graveyard, and boost
my Wulf by the attack of your
Dragon, destroying it and dealing
twenty-one hundred points of damage
to you. And since you have nothing
else in your hand, or Drago is
destroyed by its own effect,
allowing me to attack you directly
and end this duel.
Everyone claps as Lily and David clean up.
DAVID
20.
DAVID
Good game Lily, I really fumbled
that.
LILY
Don't worry, you're still knew but
that Dragon strategy is incredible,
if you were able to get more cards
in hand, you'd probably win any
game.
Everyone goes up to receive their prizes, Lily getting an
entire box of Absolute Powerforce. David receives half a box
and the rest get divided out to the other winners, including
Jack, who only won his first game, losing the next three
convincingly. The store slowly clears out as Jack walks up to
Lily.
JACK
Hey nice game Lily.
LILY
Thanks Jack, that was actually my
first locals win and I was really
excited.
JACK
Well congratulations. Hopefully I
can take a locals soon.
LILY
You will, you just need more
practice.
JACK
Yeah, well I'm gonna head home,
this took a minute and I'm really
hungry.
LILY
Yeah me too, my ride should be
outside.
JACK
Oh I'll walk you out.
LILY
Okay!
The two of them pack up her things and head out the door to
see, a rather glamorous sports car sitting there, with a
woman dressed in a leather jacket and crop top and satin
pants.
BLAZE
There you are, I've been waiting
forever, who's this?
LILY
21.
LILY
Blaze, this is my friend Jack, Jack
this is my older sister...
Lily's sister walks up to them and holds out a hand to shake,
Jack takes her hand shaking it.
BLAZE
Blaze Chen, Professional Duelist
and older, hotter sister of Little
Lily here.
LILY
(angry)
Blaze, what the hell?
BLAZE
Oh I'm just messing around. Are you
two together?
LILY
(blushing)
No, we just met.
BLAZE
(flirty)
Oh, well don't let him out of your
sight, he's definitely a lady
killer. You ready?
Lily embarrassed, quickly nods her head and gets in the car.
Blaze turns to Jack and hands him a small white card.
BLAZE (CONT'D)
Here, call me so I can get you in
touch with Lily, she needs more
friends.
JACK
Thanks.
She grabs him by his shirt collar and pulls him close enough
to let him see into his own eyes.
BLAZE
But if you think about hurting her,
and I'll shove your deck so far up
where the sun don't shine, you'll
be spitting them into your morning
coffee, understand?
JACK
(audibly gulps)
Yes mam.
BLAZE
Good, see you around.
She saunters to her car and drives away. Jack looks down at
22.
She saunters to her car and drives away. Jack looks down at
the white card and pockets it. Looking up in the sky, he
smiles as the silhouette of a bird flies overhead casting a
fast shadow over him before flying away. He heads back
inside, as the camera slowly zooms out from the store, the
song "Good Life" begins and the episode ends.
FADE TO BLACK
FADE IN:
16. ENDING START
The ending has the song "Good Life" by one republic playing
in front of concept art for the episode slowly fading in and
out.
