The biker waited patiently watching the Ghoulish Rider make his move.

"What!?" the biker shouted in amazement as Fyodor activated his speed spell. With its attack connecting- the biker, with no cards that could save him- had lost. He burned out in a firey explosion as Dragulas was slain.

As the duel ended, so did the bus ride. Following Fyodor, the biker skidded onto the outside parking lot, where various cars, mostly of the teachers, were parked. The biker had gotten off his duel runner, the disk disengaging, clicking off his bike. Rather than being strapped on his arm, it was held in his hand. The biker removed his helmet revealing his face.

"Your dueling was dark and passionate. Fitting, for another champion of the undead. I am Fushi Ryunosuke, the Phantom Duelist of Saotome. This will be my last year here." Ryunosuke reached his hand out, gesturing for them to shake.

Mr. O'Dell, before opening the door to the bus, had given everyone a brief explanation of what was going on. On their way out, he handed out maps of the school accompanied with various instructions, telling the students first to head towards the offices to fill in their paperwork.

The offices were located within the classroom buildings, the closest classroom being repurposed for administrative work that the students had to do in order to enter the school. Afterwards, they were sent toward the shop by the cafeteria where they would be fitted for their uniforms before being sent back to the offices where they received the key to their dorm room.

This is really shitty timing, but I'm gonna be gone for most of the weekend and won't be back until Sunday evening. After this next post with Blight Bug, I'm planning on having everybody on campus. Then for the weekend, if you guys are posting, you guys can just post your characters familiarizing themselves with the campus and seeing their rooms, maybe exchanging contact info and whatnot.

I expected on the bus ride more talk of character backstory than talk of cards, but I guess you guys can talk about your backstories mid-duel when that happens.

Then Sunday evening, if everybody's wrapped up what they wanted to do, I'll skip to the next day, which will be early wake up and opening ceremony.

"Your monster is quite the obnoxious one." the biker spat as the Ghoulish Rider's bike-riding skeleton monster reappeared before their eyes. "However. Very well. Then with Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon, I shall strike at your monster! With no other option, Dragulas will strike down Dokurorider Heisei - Absolute Sovereign of the Damned. Go! Eternity Dark Burst Stream!"

The dragon (or wyrm really), soared into the air, as the sky darkened slightly. Dragulas spread its wings and raised its head. With another roar, its maw opened, spewing forth a burst of black energy, the beam shooting straight toward Dokurorider Heisei. Then, with a powerful explosion, Dokurider, as expected, remained. It would not stay for long, however, as the last of this monsters in the grave were used up.

The spectral knight was the next to strike, its horse galloping alongside Dokurorider Heisei's motorcycle. The two exchanged blows, and in the explosion, Break Sword's armor had split apart, and in its place, The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves and The Phantom Knights of Dusty Robe, both in passive postures. They were in defense mode, unable to attack over the Fyodor's turtle.

"And now that I've defeated your ace monster, I will end my turn." the biker declared.

The biker nodded, almost ignoring the bus between them, which had sped along in spite of the duel taking place.

Mr. O'Dell grumbled, pressing down on the gas pedal unimpeded by speed counters, as the bus sped towards Saotome Academy, getting closer in sight as the minutes passed. When the bus drove past, the two revealed to one another once more, the mysterious biker drew his card and the number of speed counters ticked up for the two of them. "Now! I'll activate the effect of Call of the Haunted!" his face down card flipped face up. "Return to me! Crimson Knight Vampire Bram!"

The vampire stood solemnly, floating out of the summoning circle on the ground, making a fighting pose as his full body appeared. "First, I'll activate another Count Up! I'll send The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves and Phantom Knights' Sword from my hand to the graveyard to give me another six speed counters! I'll use the effect of The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots in my graveyard! By banishing him, I can add one Phantom Knights spell card from the deck to my hand! And I'll choose..." his deck dispensed another card... "Speed Spell - The Phantom Knights' Rank-Up-Magic Launch! While I have 4 or more speed counters, I can pay 2 speed counters... then target a dark xyz monster with no materials on it. I'll choose Crimson Knight Vampire Bram!" The vampire that had appeared had then disappeared in a flash of crimson light, flying into a swirling shape in the air.

"Rank up! Dark Xyz Change! Spread your wings oh ruler of the night! Rank 6 Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon!" the biker announced. Heralded by a blood-curdling roar clearly audible by those in the bus, a dragon-like entity floating on broad, bat-like wings covered in scales of black, red and silver. Its face was covered in a mask and it had a blonde mane which shined even in the garish daylight.

"That's not all! I'll activate Phantom Knights' Sword from the graveyard allowing me to special summon from my graveyard The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves! Next, I'll play The Phantom Knights of Dusty Robe!" Besides the dragon, a spectral pair of gloves materialized followed by a hooded figure. "I'll use Dusty Robe's effect to target one DARK monster on the field," the hooded figure took a kneeling position, "and by changing him to defense position, I can grant that monster 800 attack and defense! And I'll choose Dragulas!"

Dragulas roared as it was surrounded by a red aura, its attack points increasing to 3200.

"Now! Level 3 Ragged Gloves and Dusty Robe! Overlay! Arise! Rank 3 The Phantom Knights of Break Sword!" In flashes of purple light, the two smaller monsters disappeared, the flashes swirling around one another into a swirling, twinkling mass. Then out of it, a spectral horseman wielding a giant sword, orbs of purple orbiting around it.

"And thanks to the effect of Ragged Gloves, Break Sword gains 1000 attack! Now. I'll activate the effect of The Phantom Knights of Breaksword! I'll detach one xyz material, targeting one card on my side of the field and one on yours! Then, I'll destroy them! Now. I'll target my now Call of the Haunted; and, because of Dokurorider Heisei, I have to target him. Am I correct in assuming that? Go! Destroy his monster!"

Eh. I'd prefer seeing the old sheet anyways. I sent you a PM if you didn't see it already.

Unprotected, the biker was hit with the full brunt of the turtle's attack. "AH!" he shouted, lifting his arm up as a cloud of smoke surrounded his motorcycle. His life points were brought down to 2000. Hit by the attack, his bike swerved, nearing the wall separating their side of the road from the other.

"Is that all!? That attack was quite low energy" he taunted.

Pinging the player would probably more helpful.

The character is a /bit/ too magical for my taste. I'd ask to remove all the stuff about spirits and whatnot, but that'd sort of take away from the whole character. Though that is what I'm asking for: Rewrite the character for a modern-near-future setting rather than something more fantastic. Spirit-y stuff comes later.

@Eklispe

Not so fun from an actual in-game perspective. All the Monarch player has to do is make Vanity's Fiend and the Kaiju player can't do anything.

As Carnel mentioned a duel-field, there seemed to be a different atmosphere and the color of the area around the bus did indeed change. Had anyone noticed, the bus was in fact going faster, having sped up since it started up again after the motorist had thrown his brick. The bus was inside the Speed World, and fast approaching were the two bikers, monsters and all.

Mr. O'Dell honked his horn twice, signalling for the two to get out of the way. After which, the mysterious biker pulled off to the side of the road, duel runner still on, trailing along the side of the bus.

Along either side, their monsters could be seen- or at least those of the Ghoulish Rider- the only one of the two with a monster on the board.

"Hm. Not so fast!" the biker interrupted. The card targeted for destruction was flipped face-up, revealing the card. "I chain in response to High Speed Crash, my quick-play speed-spell card Book of Moon! By paying two speed counters it allows me to target one of your monsters," the Biker clenched his fist at Dokurorider Heisei, "and flip it face down!" Once again, the biker lost speed.
