*The battle begin almost immediately with the master trainer summoning an Ice Coldy. Not wanting to go all out just yet, Josiah used Hell Fire. At first the battle progressed normally enough until...*
<span style='color:blue'>"What the?!?" *Ice Coldy suddenly vanished moments before Hell Fire could deal a deciding blow.* "Ice Coldys aren't that fast and I don't hear the guy call an attack..."</span>
"You've got a strong monster there!" *The opposing trainer called.* "But all that strength is useless if you can't land a hit. So, what do you think of my Illusionary Invisability card?"
<span style='color:blue'>"Card?" *It was then that Josiah noticed that the man was holding several cards in his hands like the previous trainers had. Taking a closer look, he could see that they were similiar to monster cards but the coloring was different.* "So, I guess there are some different rules here..." *Although curious, this wasn't the time to ask about the cards. The battle came first and Hell Fire was taking a lot of hits.* "Hell Fire, you don't need to see it! Use Magma Ocean!!!"</span>
*The master trainer's grin quickly vanished as a wave of lava washed over the entire field. Ice Coldy was KO instantly, regaining visibility right before returning to its card.*
*As the battle progressed, the man used more of the strange cards. His second monster regained full health just as it was about to be KO'd and then was given a tremendous speed boost, allowing it to KO Hell Fire. Josiah defeated it with Electriblast only to end up facing a Wing Drake whose every attack could poison. However, thanks to the Electric Heaven Electricuter combo, he managed to win the match without having to summon a third monster.*
*The trainer walked over to him after the match.* "I really underestimated you kid. You must be a pro. Beat me with two monsters and no spell cards. Didn't think that was even possible. Well, here's your prize. Take care."
<span style='color:blue'>"About those cards..." *Josiah started but the man had already walked off. He frowned then looked down at the item the man had handed him. It was a pack of cards. Opening it up, Josiah found three of the strange cards along with an instruction sheet.* "Spell cards?" *He began to read.*</span>
*As it turned out, the cards could be used during battle. Some effected your monster and others the opponent's and there were a variety of different effects. However, each card could only be used once per battle (they had to recharge between uses) and you could only bring five into battle with you (a rule probably enforced by the game's coding). Also, you weren't aloud to use more than one of any card in your 'deck'.*
*Virgo met Josiah soon after he left the arena. She talked for a few minutes before giving Josiah back the object he had given her earlier. He filled her in on what had happened then they headed to the meeting place. Josiah was eager to tell the others about his new discovery.*
((The cards I got are... Supreme Haste, doubles a monster's speed. Syphon Touch - allows a monster to drain health from opponents while touching them. Final Charge - when a monster is about to be KO'd its attack power doubles.)) ((This will be fun, we can trade cards and everything ^_^ ))
