Plotted starter for @kingofblueeyex
Excitement comes as sky-sprung electricity, igniting the senses. Adrenaline is Atem’s natural happy high and his smile grows of its own accord when he’s looking at the board displaying the initials of the finalists. Atem’s win streak has intimidated the other duelists. Although, the one he will be soon facing on the duel field has been making attempts in getting under Atem’s skin for using cards similar to Yuugi. And according to him, the strategy of ‘The Copy Cat’ is obvious since they’ve all seen how Yuugi plays. The pharaoh reaction to it is an amused hum. He should’ve guessed that was going to happen sooner or later. Both his and Yuugi’s ace monster is Dark Magician. Something that won’t ever change. However, if one pays enough attention they will find out the difference in Yuugi’s and Atem’s overall decks and duel style.
The identity of the Copy Cat has been a mystery. People say that he sounds like Yuugi from Duelist Kingdom. Others say that the shape of his eyes isn’t the same as Yuugi’s. And whenever he’s on the field he conveys striking confidence and charisma. Like he’s Yuugi but isn’t at the same time.
By the end of the duel, the only monster standing is Dark Magician The Dragon Knight. The opponent had a difficult time destroying all of Copy Cat’s spell and trap cards when that monster came to life at the last second. Somehow, this Copy Cat person manages to turn the tables around at the last second. Discussions begin to spread that he’s also using the older Dark Magician cards rather than the newer ones that Yuugi has. But strangely, he has a couple of the newly released cards instead. That is likely so that he can change his strategies and build a stronger deck.
Once the winner is announced, the duelists step away from the field. Atem adjusts the hood over his head. There is a pair of cat ears on it to go with his nickname. A belt hangs akin to a tail at the lower back of the hoodie. Fingerless onyx gloves with an etched paw pattern on the palms adorn Atem’s hands. And the rest of the outfit is a pair of black holo leather pants and boots.
The pharaoh doesn’t plan on taking the spotlight for too long, however. His goal is to feel the thrill of dueling once again and discover how much Duel Monsters has advanced. He can only so far participate in professional tournaments until the suspicions rise enough for him to possibly take a break. But just one more won’t hurt.
