A force had brought him here, Alex said as he stepped forwards and
into the building. Two dragons flanked an escalator, it was as he knew it
would be, his mission was simple, test someone and leave. He held his deck
and smirked, it was Kaiba Land that he was in, a place where the owner
showed off his own most powerful beasts.
His black leather cloak flapped around him as he walked towards the entrance, his sunglasses hiding his eyes. He felt the cool, crisp air of the buildings AC. Japan was a place he preferred to avoid, but he had a goal to accomplish, a test to give.
Two men in suits walked up to him, hired goons, probably assigned to make him leave as he made others nervous. Security was normally much harder to spot, but they would be no problem.
"So Seto Kaiba hides behind his security guards," Alex laughed as he stepped up to one of them, "Has he so little in the way of guts?"
"You are leaving now!" one of them said, making a grab for his wrist, Alex let him for the tenth of a second before he reversed the grab and twisted.
"You made the first move, and thus you have no legal backing or a means of legal pursuit," Alex said passively, his face a serene mask as he heard the bones in the mans wrist break and felt it give.
"Get him!" the first yelled as two more appeared, making three still capable of fighting against him.
An elbow to the nose dropped one that had gotten to close and he released the one with a broken wrist.
None of them seemed to realize that he had only moved his arms and lips, but he had already halved those trying to take him down.
A roundhouse kick nailed the other one behind him cleanly in the knee, kneecapping the man as he pulled his weapon on the last one who was going for a gun.
"Hands behind the back of your head," he hissed at the man as he took the gun from him, "Take me to Mr. Kaiba now."
The man was scared as most thugs were when beaten, and he had been utterly humiliated within seconds, but he quickly led Alex to an office on the third floor that overlooked all of the dueling arenas.
Both stepped through the door, Seto Kaiba was standing there staring down at the dueling floor, watching someone Alex knew was Yugi, but he wasn't sure who he was up against.
"You wanted to see me?" Kaiba asked as Alex shoved the security guard out.
"Yes," Alex answered calmly, "I came to duel you and test your chances, you have lost but twice, once to." he pointed at Yugi through the window ".Yugi, and once to Pegasus, I wish to test your heart."
"You can't expect me to believe in that crap Yugi believes."
"I believe it, but it is not your decks heart I am here to test, but your own, to see whether or not you are worthy of a gift that you will receive."
"I'm listening."
"We duel, if I win, you are not ready for the gift, if you win, you receive it within twenty-four hours."
"Alright, I will see how well you duel, but do not toy with me, if it is to easy, I will have you dealt with."
"I have no intention of going easily upon you."
Five minutes later they were in position across from each other a dueling arena between them.
"It is time to test the measure of your heart," Alex said as he placed his deck down, "I'll begin."
"Go ahead, I'll crush you soon enough."
iAlex:2000 Setp:2000/i
Alex drew five cards and placed three down, all face down, two in the magic and trap zone.
"I place three cards face down."
"You will lose before you even begin, I summon a Blue Eyes White Dragon," Kaiba yelled, "And I attack your monster with it!"
"Sorry, I activate Counter!"
"What!"
"Trap card, matches the attack with an opposite one, your dragon has been slain!"
Kaiba growled as his precious dragon vanished in a spray of data.
"Never underestimate your opponent, raw power is not the key, skill is best combined with it, now I activate my second card, Phoenix's Tearsto resurrect your dragon on my side."
"So you have one of my dragons on your side now, very well, I'll summon a second one."
The two Dragons stood, identical, face to face.
"Then it is time to make this interesting," Alex whispered as he drew another card and placed it and another face down and activated a third, "We'll play this quickly, first I activate Duplication, making the one Blue Eyes I now have into two."
A third dragon appeared on the field, "then I activate two of my Pot Of Greed cards to allow me to draw four cards into my hand."
"I now attack with one of my Blue Eyes, to cause mutual destruction, eliminating my copy of it as well as the one you have on the field."
"That served you no purpose," Kaiba gloated as his and one of Alex's dragons vanished, "Only to make it possible for me to win."
"Oh," Alex said as he placed another magic card down, "I use Heroes Resurrection, it allows me to bring two cards of my choice from the graveyard to the field, and I select the two mighty dragons."
Kaiba was shocked as he saw three Blue Eyes lined up against him as he looked down, seeing his third in his hand.
"Now I activate this card, Polymerization, to seal this for me and form the monster you called almighty, Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, but that is not the end of it, for I activate the last two cards in my hand, two very special cards I believe that you have seen in action, a Doppelganger and a Copycat, and you know what that means, three Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragons."
"But..how?" Kaiba gasped, realizing that he had failed to win, for the third time in his life he knew it.
"Simple heart, I believed that I could win and the deck complied with my desire, it is all about heart, yours and your decks."
"I.see." Kaiba stammered as he drew a card for his turn, and stared at it, it was the one card that could win it for him, though he then saw Alex flip his two face down monsters face up.
"I get to draw three cards for each of these Deck Knights," he said as he drew and placed four cards face down, 'And I end my turn."
"I activate Raigeki!" Kaiba yelled as he placed the card down and all five monsters Alex had down vanished, but then reappeared as Alex flipped over a card, a trap, "How did you."
"I use Magic Theft," Alex said as he smiled slightly, "That card is now mine and you cannot play any more magic cards this turn."
"Well," Kaiba growled as he placed six cards face down, two concealed monsters and five magic or trap cards, "Its your turn then."
"I begin with a card, Ultimate Summoning, I sacrifice two monsters to summon one dice roll of monsters of my choice to be used until my turn is over and I activate Battle Deck to double the size of the field on my side, ten of each now."
A dice appeared and rolled, ending up with a three face up.
"I summon three Black Luster Soldiers," Alex said with a sly smile and I use magic duplicates to allow me to use one magic card on the field for use three times, I use Polymerization, creating three Dragon Master Knights, and thus it ends with these three cards I have left, starting with Trap Defusement, then Miscasted Magic, and finally your very own Raigeki!"
Kaiba's eyes got wide as all of the cards he had on the field vanished.
"Now to end this quickly," Alex said as his monsters attacked, it was a one hit victory, though that hit was on his third turn.
"You have won with your heart and thus you will receive something special, a card like none other in one days time, use it well," Alex said as Kaiba staggered back.
Alex turned and walked away, a slight smile was all he bore, "It was the best duel I have had in some time."
A day later a package appeared with a set of five cards, each one a piece of Exodia with a note that read.
iKaiba,
You showed me your heart in that duel, these are pieces of a puzzle that must be given to Yugi, the sixth card is for you, as promised, it is a powerful card, you ought to take a look at it,

A silver card fell out, a single figure was there, the man he had dueled was on the card, and he wore armor. He smiled slightly at the name, iDragon Master Alex/i.
