Harry's P.O.V
I had just finished a duel and decided to sit down for a bit since I had 11 of the 12 locator cards I needed to enter the finals and after a while Alexis had sat down beside me without me even noticing. I only noticed it when she placed her hand on my arm and said "What's up why are you being so distant" and I said "oh it's nothing I was just wondering who I should duel next."
As it looked like she was about to say something about who I should duel I asked "So how many locator cards do you have" and she said "11 and you" and I replied "I have the same amount as you" and right as she was about to say something someone dressed in white business suit and had an air of authority about him said "are you Harry James Kaiba."
I said "yes and you would be" and he said "I am Sartorius and I have known for a long time that I was to face you in a duel before the battle city finals" and Alexis said "but how is that even possible" and he said "you see I have been gifted with the sight of the future and all it holds." I had to repress an urge to laugh out loud since this guy reminded me of professor Trelawney who was a so called seer and said something about being able to see the future."
I said "okay so you are wanting to duel" and he said "yes how many locator cards are you wagering" and I said "two" and he said "Very well" and Alexis looked at me like I was crazy for wagering two of them. We activated our duel disks and he said "I'll start this duel off with this little winguard in attack mode and now I set two cards face down and activate winguard's effect which since it's the end phase I can switch him to defense mode and I end my turn."
I drew and said "I summon skilled dark magician in attack mode and now I'll attack little winguard with minor dark attack" and he said "I activate my facedown card called draining shield which lets me negate you attack and gain life points equal to your monster's attack points" and his life points rose to 5900. I said "I activate the magic card pot of greed to draw two more cards and give my magician a counter and that ends my turn."
He drew and said "I summon necro gardna in defense mode and I end my turn with that" and I drew and said "I summon skilled white magician in attack mode and now I activate the magic card called terraforming which lets me add a field spell from my deck to my hand. Now I activate the field spell magical citadel of Endymion and that gives skilled dark magician a total of three counters and skilled white magician 2 counters.
Now I activate the magic card called emblem of the dragon destroyer which lets me add a buster blader from my deck to my hand. Now I send my skilled dark magician to the graveyard which lets me special summon dark magician and now for the second effect of my field spell. Since skilled dark magician had three spell counters on it those counters get added to the citadel. Now I send skilled white magician to the grave to special summon buster blader.
That gives my citadel three more counters and now I remove the six counters on my citadel to special summon Endymion the master magician. His effect when he's summoned lets me retrieve a magic card from my graveyard and add it to my hand. Now I activate his second effect by discarding one spell card I can destroy one card on your side of the field and I choose your face down card.
Now I'll attack your necro gardna with dark magician" and necro gardna was destroyed "now buster blader destroy his winguard" and little winguard was destroyed "and finally endymion attack his life points directly" and he said "sorry but I activate the effect of my necro gardna in my graveyard which lets me remove it from play and negate one of your monster's attacks."
I said "I end my turn" and he drew and said "I summon blade knight in defense mode and I set one card face down and end my turn" and I drew and said "dark magician attack blade knight" and blade knight was destroyed "now buster blader, Endymion attack his life points directly" and his life points dropped to 600.
"I end my turn" and he drew and said "I summon king's knight in attack mode and I activate the powerful magic card known as riryoku which decreases one of your monster's attack points by half and adds those points to my knight." King's knight attack rose to 2950 and Endymion's attack dropped to 1350. "Now king's knight attack Endymion with your blade strike" and Endymion was destroyed and my life points dropped to 2400.
He said "I end my turn" and I said "I will attack king's knight with dark magician finishing this duel" and king's knight was destroyed and his life points dropped to zero and I said "your locator cards and rarest monster please" and he handed me two locator cards and battleguard king. He stood up and said "that was a good duel and I hope to face you in the finals" and he turned around and walked away.
After I wasn't able to see him anymore I turned around to Alexis and said "you know why I wagered two right" and she said "first you were crazy since you only needed won to get into the finals and second no I have no idea" and I said "I know I was crazy but you know what they say love makes people crazy and the second one was for you" and I noticed that she was blushing hard.
I quickly said to cover up what I said before "so what do you saw we find out where the finals are being held" and I placed the 12 locator cards on the duel disk and it showed the docks. I said "okay looks like it's near the docks where Marik's first major attack was at" and we headed out and I noticed that she was sneaking glances at me even though she didn't know that I knew she was looking at me.
Sorry about the only one duel in this chapter and I was planning on having Alexis duel in this chapter but I have decided on not doing it because I have decided since I have to get the Harry and Alexis romance started somehow I figured why not having him win her the last locator card that she needed at the same time as winning the last one he needed as well.
In the next chapter I am going to be having everyone who is going to be in the finals appearing at the docks which is where the finals will be starting at. I have also decided that I am going to have the Egyptian god cards in this story and I think I might have harry, Alexis, and Zane wield them but that may change if I think of someone more qualified.
Wow this is a long author's note but for the last thing I am planning on having the next chapter up at the earliest by Wednesday
