Chapter 1 - First Meeting
As Zane and Alexis watched the new kid walk onto the duel field to face Dr. Crowler, another person approached them and asked with a strong german accent, "May I join you?"
Alexis turned toward the voice and saw the tallest and most solidly built man she had every seen. He stood at about half a head taller than Zane and was built like that actor from the old Conan movies, Arnold something. His dark red hair reached the bottom of his back, and tied back in a heavy braid. He was wearing dark blue denim pants, knee high leather boots, a T-shirt, a dark green trenchcoat and gloves that matched the coat. You could see on the left glove a ring around the middle of the forearm where the glove was not as faded. "Uh, sure. I'm Alexis, this is Zane. What's your name?" asked Alexius.
"I'm Wilheim Krasier. It's a pleasure to meet such a vision of beauty." Wilheim said. "Of course, its an honor to meet Zane Truesdale, Kraiser of Duel Academy again."
"We've meet?" asked Zane.
"It was but briefly at the European Championships last year. You were traveling with an Atticus Rhodes. We talked briefly before Atticus and I dueled." Wilheim replied. "Now shall we watch the young man down there duel?"
"He's facing Dr. Crowler, it's going to be a tough duel." Alexis said.
"True, but we might get a chance to see that rare monster he's said to have." Zane added.
"May I ask what you are talking about?" asked Wilheim.
"Oh, sorry, you wouldn't know, but Dr. Crowler is said have the Ancient Gear Golem in his deck. But he rarely duels at the school, so no one is certain that it is in there." Alexis explained.
"Ah, Gear Golem. I have heard of the card, though I've never seen one played. This will be a treat then." Wilheim said as he leaned against the railing to watch the duel. "The boy, he is using the Elemental Heros. Not many can use them to their full potential. I wonder how many of the fusions, he has managed to find."
"What do you mean, Wilheim," Asked Alexis. "The number of fusions?"
"Most people disregard the Elemental Hero cards, because of their low attack for the most part. Sparkman, for example, is one of the strongest with 1600 ATK. But each E-hero can be used in a fusion with at least one other to generate one of the strongest arrays of fusion monsters seen in the game. Let me show you a couple I have with me." Wilheim said as he pulled his deck out and slid two cards out and handed them to Alexis. "These two are perfect example of what I'm talking about"
"What, these two use the same monsters as their materials, but their effects are totally different." Exclaimed Alexis.
"Ja, Flare Wingman and Phoenix Enforcer are both very deadly in their own way. If they are played right, even Herr Zane would have trouble. Ah, the Doctor has summoned the Ancient Gear Golem. Quite Impressive." Wilheim said as he watched the Gear Golem rise above the Dueling Ring.
"Hmm, It appears the boy has just about won this match with the good Doctor."
"Why do you say that?" Zane asked.
"He has activated the Field Card Skyscraper and has Flare Wingman on the field. Unless Herr Doctor can stop Flare Wingman's attack, he has lost."
"Even with the boost from Skyscraper, Flare Wingman only has 3100 ATK. Doctor Crowler will only take 100 points of damage." Alexis said.
"No, Wilheim is right, you didn't figure in Wingman's effect, Alexis" Zane said.
"What?" Alexis asked as she once again looked at the cards in her hand. "Oh, I see now. Dr. Crowler isn't going to be happy about this."
