A/N: In your reviews tell me about the duel if you can that is. Also because Rafael's entire deck is never shown in the anime, I may create my own cards for him. One more thing when one of them plays a card whose picture isn't obvious like Pot of Greed ill describe it as best I can. Oh and for the names well ill use the name I prefer. Check the Yugioh wiki if you want an exact name. Anyway enjoy the chappie!

Last Time

"Best of luck, kid. But I don't plan on going easy on you." Rafael replied with a wink.

"Same with me, Rafael."

They walked back to their corners of the arena and activated their duel disks.

Sy noticed Rafael's looked different but it was probably just a different model.

"This is it." Sy thought.

"Time to duel!" The 2 shouted, their life points preset at 8000.

End Flashback

"I'll start things off if you don't mind." Rafael called.

"Fine with me!" Syrus replied.

Rafael smirked. "I'll start things off by playing my Pot of Greed magic card. So I draw twice."

Rafael slowly drew 2 cards from his deck.

Syrus patiently waited for his opponent to continue.

"And next I'll summon my trusty Backup Gardna in defense mode." He told Syrus as a muscular blue beast with several blue horns sticking out from his forehead and 2 slightly longer ones shot up from his shoulder and long flowing fire red hair appeared on the field, growling. (500/2200)

"And next I'll place 2 cards facedown and end my turn." Rafael replied as 2 cards appeared in front of him, their images hidden from the Roid duelist.

Syrus gasped at the fact that Rafael could bring out such a powerful defense monster so quickly.

He drew quickly and grinned at the draw.

"I play Submarineroid!" Sy called as the monster that literally was what it was named – a submarine appeared on the field. (800/1800)

"And now I'll attack!" Syrus declared.

Rafael looked stunned. "You can't! Your monster doesn't have enough attack points!" He protested.

"True, but my monster has a special ability. It can attack you directly!" Sy called, grinning.

Up in the stands, Zane along with the rest of the gang were watching.

Zane smiled inwardly at his brother's wise tactics.

"Subterrian sneak attack!" Sy called as the little sub went underground and launched a torpedo heading straight for Rafael.

It struck him head-on.

Rafael groaned, with a slight growl as his life points fell to 7200.

"After my Submarineroid attacks, it switches to defense mode." Sy said.

"Next I'll place a card facedown and end my turn." He said as a hidden card of his own appeared in front of him.

"Back to me.." Rafael called, as he drew.

He grinned darkly at the card he drew.

"I activate a magic card known as Guardian Treasure!" He called as a spell with an image of a heavenly angel holding out her hands revealing a sort of treasure appeared on the field.

"Now here's how it works. I discard my entire hand, then draw 2 cards from my deck. Plus I can draw 2 cards every round from now on!" Rafael called, with a slight deep laugh.

"Next I activate a magic card known as Gravity Axe!" He called as a rather large axe appeared and slammed into the ground beside Rafael's facedown cards.

"It gives my Backup Gardna an additional 500 attack points." He replied as the muscular Guardian picked up the axe by it's handle and pulled it out swinging it like a mace. (500 goes to 1000)

He held up the last card in his hand. "By having Gravity Axe in play, and this being my last card allows me to summon one of my most treasured cards.." He placed a monster card on his disk as a large, brawny muscular creature with a dinosaur-like face appeared in front of him. "Meet GUARDIAN GRARL!!!" Rafael shouted. (2500/1000)

"And now I'll use my Backup Gardna's special effect. It transfers the effect of my Axe to Grarl." (2500 goes to 3000) "Now attack with Gravity Axe!" Rafael commanded.

Grarl leapt into the air, ready to slash the small sub.

"You activated my trap." Sy called as his facedown card raised to reveal a Roid car with it's front hood open showing a few chargers in it.

"It's called Supercharger. It lets me draw 2 cards." Sy said drawing twice then placing the Supercharger trap into his graveyard.

"You'll need them! For now I activate this magic card. Purity Of The Cemetery!!" Rafael shouted as the card's image with a man dressed in black overlooking a single grave in the cemetery.

"Now here's how it works, Syrus. You lose 100 of your life points each turn for every monster in your card graveyard. And as long as my graveyard is monster-free my card stays in play.."

Sy gasped in horror. If he lost a huge amount of monsters, he'd lose in a few turns.

He had to send a monster to Rafael's graveyard!

"Come on Sy! You can do it! Just concentrate!" Jaden told him from the stands.

Sy looked at his field along with Rafael's a little nervous.

"That ends my turn." Rafael replied.

Sy drew, his eyes closing for the time being.

He opened them and giggled evilly at his draw.

It was the one card that could win Sy the duel.

"I'll start my turn with my Mystical Space Typhoon spell! And I'll use it on your Gravity Axe!" Sy said, grinning as the typhoon destroyed the Axe dropping Grarl's attack strength back to 2500 not even caring his life points fell to 7900 because of Purity of The Cementery.

"And now the card that will end this duel. I activate my POWER BOND magic card!!!" Syrus screamed as he sent his 4 roid monsters Truckroid, Expressroid, Drillroid and Stealthroid to his grave.

"Thanks to Power Bond, I play SUPER VEHICROID – STEALTH UNION" Sy screamed with glee as the massive machine appeared.

"And thanks to Power Bond, his strength is doubled!" (7200/3000)

"Now I play one final magic card. It's called Limiter Removal. So my Union's attack doubles again!" The machine glowed with power as it's attack rose to 14,400.

Rafael smiled, glad his opponent had found a way to win.

"Now Stealth Union attack his Guardian Grarl!" Sy shouted as the machine's fists began to turn delivering a powerful punch to Grarl, destroying it.

Rafael screamed as his life points dropped from 7200 to 0.

"All right Sy!!" Jaden shouted.

"The winner of this duel is Syrus Truesdale!" The announcer guy said.

Zane smiled. "Well done little bro.." He thought.

Rafael walked over from his side smiling at Syrus.

"Great dueling out there, kid. You'll be a great pro." He told him before leaving the arena.
