::Reiji stares into the air, walking into the central arena at Noon of the seventh day, a feeling of disappointment hanging on him at Isabel's failure to show on Day Six. He motions for the MC to bring the mike over, taking it, clearing his throat and squaring himself as he walks to the center of the arena, noticing the packed stadium. The assembled Duelists for the Quartet on the field listening to him.::
I wish I could be announcing this next item under more exciting circumstances, but such is life. But, let us not let this earnest disappointment ruin the announcement I'm about to make. Months ago, I announced that Leo Corp with the League would be holding an event called the Wonder Quartet. Now is the time to reveal what that Tournament actually is. We said this would be an event in which all titles would be defended. All belts would be thrown on the line.
And many have speculated it would be a Single Elimination Tournament.
::His mouth curls into a smile.::
That would never be enough to sate the thirst of battle of the True Duelists who have gathered here in Domino for the Duel Festival. No, we have something much more ambitious in store for the Duelists who have assembled here! Let me introduce the true form of the Wonder Quartet!
::A holographic screen forms into the air, displaying a map of Domino City, specifically the areas of Kaiba Land, the extended Duel Festival regions, a chunk of the factory/warehouse district of town and the harbor of Domino.::
The Wonder Quartet is a giant free-for-all Duel Event, on the world's largest Action Field, ever seen. For the last year, Kaiba Corp and Leo Corp have worked together to install Real Solid Vision Generators throughout all of Domino, in order construct a Field, this field. A field of Fields. Behold, everyone! The Wonder Quartet!
::A hum cascades through the city, as a giant field, practically an entire world spreads out across the sections of the map on top. The Industrial District has been consumed by a huge Volcanic Region. The harbor has been consumed by Ice. Ice. Enough Ice to render the place Antarctica or some sort of Ice Age. Kaiba Land itself shifts, twisting and reforming into a huge series of ancient ruins. While the Duel Festival areas outside of Kaiba Land have been rendered into some long lost ancient Jungle.::
Our contestants for this event will be going out into this giant Field to collect and gather as many Special Action Cards as possible in a winner-take-all event, where you bet all of these Action Cards. And we won't allow cowardice! A person challenged in the Wonder Quartet cannot refuse, they must Duel or retire from the event! But fear not, each shall begin the event with one of these Special Action Cards, dubbed "Shards of Power".
::Reiji points as the screen switches to the Shard of Power, which is a Grey Action Card has a jewel shard with a demonic feel to it for Artwork. All of your Duel Disks alert you that you have a copy in your Graveyard.::
Losers give the winner all of their Shards of Power. More can be found, but beware, staff from Kaiba Corp and Leo Corp will be on hand to drag any hapless Duelist found to not have a Shard of Power. All Duels of value in this event require you to have a Shard of Power. But we certainly won't stop Duelists who wish to up the ante from doing so...
::The screen displays the general order of this. You must have a Shard of Power to get more Shards of Power, or it's a No Count Duel.::
And to keep track of such a monstrous field, there are Special Arenas where a higher-than-normal amount of Action Cards for the Wonder Quartet can be found. Think of them as Dungeons or Boss Rooms in a Video Game.
::The screen splits into four. Showing off four of these locations.::
For example, we have Mt. Burning Blood, the volcano at the heart of the Volcanic Zone. Mobius Castle of the Glacial Zone, a frozen palace of wonders far out in Domino Bay. The River Fortress that's taken over the river bridge. And the Temple of the Gods in the Ancient Ruins.
At the end of the Quartet, the one with the most Shards of Power, along with any titles, belts and whatever else, shall get to face me in the grand finale of the Duel Festival, putting everything they have on the line to earn the title of Action Duel World Champion!
Now, go, out into the Wonder Quartet, you have until Noon tomorrow to gather as many Shards of Power as you can, and come home the victor and challenge me for my crown!
