The meeting
Once Aki and Iron horse reached the Arcadia Movement, Aki stopped and bent down to Iron Horse's level so she can speak to him.
"ok there are a few ground rules that you need to know before you go in; rule one: wipe your feet before you go in; rule two: don't look anybody in the eye they will get the wrong idea from you; rule three: ask a few questions not a lot because sayer, the head of the movement, doesn't like people who talk to much, he's a hard ass at times when he's not drunk; but when he is, he becomes nicer or normal. I know its kind of weird, but that's how his mind and body works for some odd reason."
Iron horse looked at Aki with a confused look "what is drunk, and can I beat up the person if he/she looks at me weird?"
Aki looks at Iron horse with a 'are you kidding' look and then she found out that he wasn't kidding. "being drunk means drinking alcohol in order to feel light headed or drowzy; and no you may not, try not to do anything violent in there, ok?"
"ok" iron horse sighed.
"Good"
"can I put something over my eyes, I don't want people to look at them." Asked iron horse
Now Aki had a confused look on her face "doesn't people already know what your eyes look like? You been on the streets, there has to be at least one hundred people who have already seen your eyes."
"actually, you are the only one, other then my other family. I keep my eyes hidden and walk in the night so people can't see my eyes."
"alright, here's a blind fold so you can put it over your eyes and I can lead you through the building. Ok?"
"alright, thank you"
When they entered the giant building a man, with a brown trench coat and brown hair covering one side of his upper face, came to them "where have you been and who is this? You know there aren't supposed to be any strays."
Aki looked at the man with an angry look on her face "this stray is alone and. . . . he is a special child; people called him a monster. He is almost like me sayer."
Sayer looked at the boy with observent eyes "hey boy are you a psychic? Or are you a monster?" Iron horse heard sayer's comment and then asked Aki "can I kick his ass, I don't even know him and I already want to knock his teeth out."
Aki glared at Iron horse "no you can not. He's a bit drunk right now; you can tell by his eyes; they are dialating."
Aki then remembered what she gave iron horse before they entered the building "Oh right, the blind fold"
Now iron horse with a confused look on his face stared at her and was about to ask until, Aki spoke up
"dialated eyes mean when the irises in eyes, the little black dot, goes big and small; don't you know anything, that like the second time you asked me about words you don't know?"
"I never went to school, my only teachers were my uncle and my older brother, and they taught me self-defence and survival, they didn't teach me a lot of stuff like reading and writing, they never had the time to." Iron horse answered with a sad look on his face.
Sayer looks at Aki with a scornful look "why did you bring him here Aki? He is no psychic."
"he needs a place to say and in a world that rejects people like us I think he can live with us in here. And also, didn't you tell me that this place is for special people? Well this is a special person sayer, he is not human."
Sayer looked at Aki then at Iron horse "whats your name boy?"
"Iron horse, sir" he said in a low tone.
Sayer gave him a look then asked again "what is your real name?"
Then Aki butted in "sayer that is his name he wouldn't give me his real name either because he said he gave it up a long time ago."
Sayer looked at Iron horse confused at what he just heard "are you any good with duel monsters?" Aki looked at Iron horse for his answer as well; "what's duel monsters?"
shocked, both Sayer and Aki looked at iron horse "you don't know what duel monsters are? Do you even have a deck?"
Iron horse looked at them confused and then he remembered the word 'deck' from someone when he was in the streets for so long "I have a 'deck' but I don't know how to play?"
Both sayer and Aki looked at Iron horse again but with a greater shocked look on their faces. "where have you been in the past few decades?"
Iron horse looked down with a sad expression on his face "that is for me to know and you to find out. All the knowledge that I've got is usually from a two ft tick concrete wall on all sides of my room its almost like living in a box, but this box can't open. Its like a prison for monsters like me.".
" but how come you don't know how to duel and how do you have a deck if you don't know how to play? " asked Aki with her left hand on her hip and her right scraching her head
"I got my first deck when I was about seven, my uncle got me them on my birthday. Most of the suff I got is cept in secret so I don't know about the outside world that much." I have to leave out some parts about my true life; somethings they just don't need to know. thought Iron horse. "the deck I have is called 'beast master' my first deck, but as you know I don't know how to duel. I was never taught."
Aki looked at Iron horse with a sad look; what he didn't know is that Aki can read minds I'll get him to talk to me later if he wants to thought Aki. "alright I'll teach you how to duel, but there are going to be conditions. If you win on your first duel, not your practice duel, then you can be my apprentice, that means I watch over you; but if you lose, you have to tell me your real name. deal?" he thought about it for a while then he grew a smile on his face "deal." Then Iron horse raised his hand for an agreement, and Aki took it while shaking it with confidence.
Right after their little deal, sayer motioned out to Aki to come over there. "do you have any idea what is wrong with him, why is he wareing a blind fold?"
"oh well he a bit self conscience about his eyes so he wears a blind fold to hide them." Wispered Aki
"See if you can bring me any new info on this 'iron horse' whatever you can dig up from him; ok?" wispered sayer talking to a plant. "sayer, im right here." Wispered Aki in a mad tone so everybody around her can hear.
"you know you're not really wispering if other people can hear you" wispered Iron horse behind Aki.
The next day, Aki was waiting for Iron horse in the dueling room.
"where have you been I've been standing here for hours?" said Aki when Iron horse walked in the room.
"I got lost in the third floor, you do realize that this is a big building there should be maps on every floor or something." Said Iron horse walking in with a deck in hand.
"true we should leave maps on this building, ok first lesson is the playing field; second is type of cards; third is how to use these cards; fourth is stratigy and last but not least is control."
Aki and Iron horse were going over the basics; there were some mistakes and some flaws, but they eventually pulled through.
When Iron horse did his first practice duel, he failed misriblely; but Aki gave a supporthing hand "everybody fails their first time its natural. Don't worry you'll get it."
With a smile on his face, he got up and dueled the duel droid again and again. No matter if he won or lost he still practiced with the droid, until it was time for his real test; dueling Aki for the first time.
"you ready" yelled Aki from one corner
"ready" yelled Iron horse from another
"lets duel" they both said in unison.
(A.N-ok im not really good at writing duels so don't hate me when I write it like this)

Aki-4000 LP
Aki went first, "I summon my evil thorn in attack mode(100atk,300def), then I use its special ability, by sending it to the graveyard I can dish out 300 life points to you and then summon two more evil thorns to the field without their special ability" the monster started to get bigger, getting ready to explode until it did and a bunch of thorns started to hit iron horse; although the damage was real, he seemed unfased of the attack. " I place two cards face down, ending my turn."
"Didn't you feel that attack just now?" Aki ask him wondering why he stood still when he was hit with the attack
"yes I did, but I felt worse pain then what you have given me" replied iron horse with a serious look
"what do you mean?" asked Aki now concerned
Iron horse drew his card, "its my turn, since you have monsters on your field and I don't I can summon my level five beast's prey in attack mode(1800atk,2000def), then I summon my master's pupil in attack mode(1200atk,0def). Now I tune my level five beat's prey with my level two master's pupil in order to syncro summon my Beast Master Taka(2600atk,200def)." a tall man with wolf skin on his upper torso, and a type of loyn cloth for shoes; carrying a white staff on his back came from the ground. "Now Taka attack her evil thorn."
Beast master jumped up in the air and swong down at her monster. "I don't think so, I play my trap card wall of thorns, if a plant type monster is being attacked by an opponents monster, that monster gets destroyed." Said Aki with a smile on her face.
"I use my beast master's special ability, by sending a card from my hand to the graveyard I can negate a spell and/or trap that targets my monster and destroys it." The trap then exploded in front of Aki
"WHAT" yelled aki in shock
"now as I was saying Taka attack her evil thorn." The attack hit the monster and it exploded in smoke dealing damage to its master

Aki-4000 LP
"wait a minute, why didn't you lose life points?" asked iron horse with a confused look on his face
"that's because I sacrificed my wall of ivy to negate your attack" Aki said smirking
Iron horse glared at her "I place two cards face down and I end my turn"
"ok then draw" Aki drew her card and smiled "I summon my twilight rose knight in attack mode(1000atk, 1000def),and I use her special ability to summon dark verger in defence mode(0atk, 1000def), now I tune my two evil thorns with my twilight rose knight and my dark verger in order to syncro summon Black Rose Dragon(2400atk, 1800def). now I use my Black Rose dragon's special ability, by removing a plant type monster from my graveyard from play, I can reduce one of your monsters ATK points to zero."
"WHAT" yelled iron horse a bit scared now that he is going to lose his monster.
"now Black Rose Dragon, attack with black rose gale." The dragon arose its head and a ball of energy was forming in its mouth, getting ready to shoot it out.
"not so fast, I play my trap card beasts defender, by removing a card from my hand to the grave yard your attack is negated and your battle phase automatically ends, oh and also, I get to draw two more cards" iron horse said with a smile on his face thinking that he might actually win this duel
"I place two cards face down and I end my turn" said Aki with now a mad glare that can bring down a elephant he's getting better, I am proud of him, but I can't show him that yet; I should look mad so I can intimidate him some more. Thought Aki
"ok then, draw; I play pot of greed now I can draw two more cards, now I play the spell card beasts calling, this card allows me to send a tuner monster with either 'beast' or 'master' in its name to my hand, and I choose my beasts mate(250atk, 0def) from my graveyard" said iron horse while smiling
"hold on, that card was never in your graveyard" said Aki now confused
"didn't you forget my taka's special ability and my beasts defender trap card already?"
"Oh right" replied Aki now feeling stupid
"as I was saying, I use my beasts mate's special ability, now I can summon a monster with 1000atk or less from my hand and I play beasts pac(800atk, 1000def) in attack mode; and I think you know whats coming next right Aki?"
"oh boy" said Aki
"that's right, I'm syncro summon my level three beasts mate and my level two beasts pac in order to syncro summon, Beast Master Sho.(2400atk,2000def)" A man simillar to Beast Master Taka, rose up from the ground holding a black staff. "now I play the field spell, beasts den, any beast, beast-warrior, winged-beast, or warrior type monsters on the field gain 500 atk and def."
this isn't good thought Aki
"now sho, take Aki's dragon down." The said monster jumped in the air and swong at the dragon and it exploded, leaving a big smoke cloud while draining Aki's life points. "now Taka, finish with a direct attack"
"NO" yelled Aki while her life points dramatically decreased

Aki- 400 LP
What a stratigy, he took almost all of my life points in almost the third round, even if I use one of my trap or spell cards, he would have negated it and I would have still lost life points, I am amazed at how fast this boy could learn thought Aki while smiling in her head trying not to show it
"its my turn, and I place a card face down and I end my turn" said Aki in a calm voice
"all out of ideas, aren't ya, you can't be playing defence all the time,and I'll show you why" as iron horse drew his card he smiled "I play the spell card polymorization"
"polymorization? You have fusion cards?" asked Aki now shocked
"yes I do, now I fuse my Beast Master Taka with my Beast Master Sho, in order to summon Conan the Barbarion." A larger man with a furr headband and furr boots and shorts, while carrying a giant ax on his back arose from the ground "and thanks to Conan's special ability, whenever he attacks a defence position monster, the difference is delt as damage."
"WHAT" yelled Aki
"now Conan lets finish this duel" the said monster pulled out its ax and started running twards the blue monster, and it shattered into millions of pieces

"yes, I won, I won!" cheered Iron horse while jumping up and down like a hyperactive kid on sugar
But the cheering stop when he started to think of something "hey Aki sensei"
Aki was a bit shocked that iron horse had called her sensei, but she kind of like the ring to it "yes my student"
"you said that I'd also be learning control, right?"
"That's correct, why?"
"the thing is I can't control my animality; yea sure, I can change to and fro, but if I stay at that form for too long, I start to lose myself and start hurting people that I don't want to hurt" iron horse said worried "can you help me?"
"that's what I'm here for, to help you my student" said aki still thinking of how the word sensei got a good ring to her name
"Thank you Aki sensei"
"your welcome, iron horse"
