Inside of the smaller houses of Crash Town a sleeping boy, who had black hair with cerulean blue highlights, was sleeping peacefully in his bed. This boy's name is Takashi Nakamura and he is 15-year-old. Ever since he could walk, Takashi has always loved to Duel. He especially loved Turbo Dueling. The speed and the excitement of the event has always been on his mind. However, even though he was a good duelist, Takashi doesn't own a Duel Runner nor does he have the means to construct one. Despite those obstacles though, Takashi still believes that one day he'll become the next King of Turbo Duels.
As the young man sleeps in his bed an old man, with gray hair, huge mustache, and was wearing cowboy clothes, entered the room. As he looked at Takashi, the old man started glaring at him and proceeded to slap the boy in the head. The slap woke Takashi up at once and he immediately jumped up. However when he turned and saw the old man, he just sighed and sat back down on the bed.
"C'mon Klaus…" Takashi groaned as he placed the blanket over his head. "Why the hell are you waking me up so early in the morning?
Hearing this caused Klaus to punch Takashi in the head. "First of all it's not morning!" He said. "And second don't use that language in this house Takashi. You know better than that. Now get up!"
The young man sighed again before getting out of his bed. "Fine…fine." He said. Takashi got up from his bed and proceeded to head over to the bathroom. As he was washing his face and brushing his teeth, Klaus began talking to him some more.
"Takashi…" He said. "Do you plan on leaving the house today?"
Takashi gave him the thumbs up as he was busy brushing his teeth, thus was unable to talk back.
"I see. Then I need you to go to the bank and withdraw some money." Klaus explained. "We're almost all out of cash."
Hearing him say that caused Takashi to almost swallow the toothpaste that was in his mouth. He quickly caught himself and spit the teeth cleaning liquid into the sink. He then ran out of the bathroom and glared at the old man.
"How the heck did we run out of money so fast?" He asked him. "Last time I checked we had enough cash to last us for an entire month!"
"It's because you always spend your money are the newest Duel Monster cards." Klaus told him. "You know those cards aren't cheap here and yet you still buy them as if we have all the money in the world. Do I need to remind you about what's going out there?"
Takashi looked at Klaus for a minute before swinging his head in disagreement. He knew about the conflict between the Radley and Malcolm families and he also knew that both sides raised the amount of money on Duel Monster cards. They did this because they didn't want the commoners to buy cards, when they really needed them.
"Listen Takashi…" Klaus said as he put his hand on one of the boy's shoulders. "I know you love to Duel, but you shouldn't let dueling get in the way of our money problems. We barely have enough to keep the place that we have now. So you can't spend it on things that aren't as important."
The young man nodded his head. "I know…I'm sorry." He said. "I'll try to handle our money better."
"Good…" Klaus said as a smile appeared o his face. "Now I'm about to head to work. You enjoy yourself until I get back and make sure you go to the bank."
Takashi nodded his head and with that Klaus left his room and proceeded to leave the house. Once he was gone, Takashi proceeded to put on his clothes, which were like Klaus's. Once he was done getting dress he walked over to his desk and opened the top cabinet. Inside was his Duel Disk, a device that Duelist use to bring Dueling to a higher level, and his Dueling Deck. He attached the Duel Disk to his left arm and inserted his deck in the slot provided. Once he finished doing that, he left his house.
Once he was outside, the young began observing the scenery. He saw that a lot of people were out so he knew that today was going to be pretty busy. He decided to head over to bank first before going out to do anything else. So he quickly made his way over there and luckily for him hardly anyone was inside. So Takashi quickly made his withdraw and left the bank. He then headed back home and put the money inside of a safe before going back outside. However as soon as he came out he saw a young boy with dark skin and black hair waiting for him.
"Hey Takashi…" The boy said.
Takashi smiled when he saw him and began walking over to him, "Hey West." He replied.
West was 8-year-old boy who saw Takashi as one of his best friends. He always looked up to him and would always challenge him to a duel. It was good for them because, the two of them were always looking to improve. However they always avoid dueling whenever members of the Malcolm or Radely family were around because they didn't want them to notice that they were dueling. If they did they might want to recruit them.
"So what you've been up too?" Takashi asked.
"Nothing much…" West answered. "Though, I have been looking for you all day."
This confused Takashi somewhat. "Why were you looking for me?" He asked. "You needed me for something?"
"Yeah…" West said as he nodded his head. "Come with me."
West lead Takashi to the end of Crash Town and the two of them soon came across an old shack. This was West's hiding place and he would always come here to play or to be alone. When the two went inside they saw a little girl with long black hair and skin just as dark as West's. The girl turned and looked at the two boys and began to smile.
"West…Takashi…" She said.
"Hey Nico…" Takashi replied with a smile on his face.
Nico was West's older sister by 2 year, thus making her 10-years-old. Like her little brother, Nico saw Takashi as one of her best friends and almost saw him as an older brother. Takashi felt the same about the two children as almost saw them as his younger siblings.
"Hey sis…is it ready yet?" West asked his sister. "I really want to show it to Takashi."
Nico shook her head. "Not yet West." She said. "Give me more time and it'll be ready."
West nodded his head at Nico before looking back at Takashi. "Hey…while we wait for her to get ready, why don't we have a Duel?" He proposed.
"Sure…I don't have a problem with that." Takashi said. "Besides, it would be good to see how much you've improved since our last Duel."
"I've improved a lot." West told him. "I'll defeat you this time Takashi!"
With that the young boy brought out his Duel Disk from his trunk and inserted his deck into the slot holder. Takashi and West would then activate their Duel Disk, which started to glow as soon as they cut on. They then separated from one another and began drawing 5 cards from their decks
