Chapter three- Combat
As the taxi neared the park, I once again tried to straighten the long hooded coat I was wearing, and tucked back my hair, which I had died brown to avoid recognization. Finding the millenium shadow eve and its owner would be hard enough with out every dual monsters fan for miles begging for autographs and free cards.
The cab screeched to a halt in front of an ill-kept park in the less wealthy district of the city. I instantly knew this was the place I had seen in my dream, and it took me less then a minute to locate the exact position of the shadow eye as I had last seen it.
It was gone.
I looked about, in hopes that I had made a mistake, but I was certain this was the place. where could it be?
//It must have been claimed by its misstriss already// Said my Yami, now why hadnt I thought of that?
/Yes, that must be it, but where could she be?/
"Yo, get a load of this dwebe!" called a voice from behind me as I contemplated the whereabouts of the shadow eye's mistriss. It didnt take a genius to figure out I was the subject of the insult, and a blind man sitting behind a closed door on the other side other side of the planet could most likely have figured out what I was planning to do to the punk who dared to insult Maxamillion Pegasus.

"Would you care to back up that remark?" I asked, standing up to face the boy and his friend, who had come over to join him.
"Wadjamean?" he asked, most probably confused by my use of words over four letters in my scentance. I would have liked to teach this kid some manners right now, but I knew the powerful soulmagic of my milenium eye wouldnt work until I had bested him in a fair contest.
"Pick a means of competition. If you win, the I admit im a dwebe. If I win, I teach you some manners."
After a rather long pause during which the boy tried to decipher what I had said, he answered. "A duel, with duel monsters cards." He said, holding up a deck.
"You do know what duel monsteres are, don'ja?" said the other boy, as I stared at the two of them in disbeleif. This was to good to be true!
"Oh, I dare say I can manage." I said, recovering and pulling out my deck. "But one request, we duel with hologram tecnology."
I pulled out a pair of dueling disks. Lucky for me, Kaiba had sold the rights to them to my company while I was without my millenium eye, thinking I was gone for good. The boys blinked, then the first one stepped forward and took the disk. Evidently, he had read about how to use them, or more likely had someone read it to him, I doubted he was quite able to read words over three letters as of yet, as he confidently strapped his on, placed his deck in the apropriote slot, and drew five cards.
As I did the same, I took a look at his cards. Pathetic; all of them were monsters and not one had an attack or defense strength of over 2000. I motioned for him to start, shifting the card I would use to gain control of his mercinary of fire on my next turn.
"Mercinary of fire, in attack mode!" He called out, playing the 1700/1300 creature, probably the best he had in his deck.
"Dragon's gold, which I use to buy off your mercinary." I said drearily. "And then parrot dragon in attack mode. Oh, and a face down card too." I said, laying down said cards and watching the boy's astonished face as his mercinary abandoned him.
"Um...I play-"
"I wouldn't bother, I can simply destroy your rageing hawk card, and your other two mercinaries would be mine as soon as you played them. And why on earth do you even keep a kuribou in your deck without a few magic cards to back it up."
The boy stood their gawking as I listed the cards in his hand one by one. Normaly I regretted the nessecity of degrading my opponents, but in this case it was on purpose. Perhaps this would teach this boy some manners, or at least the value of a magic card.
"Er, rageing hawk, defense mode?" he said in a wisper, placing down the card.
"Dont say I didnt warn you, Gorgon's eye, activate!" I flipped my face down card, destroying his monster, then attacked with my two cards. His disk fell to the grass, and his deck scattered everywhere. I casualy picked it up, playing with the idea of stealing his soul. No, he had learnt his lesson, and it really wouldnt be right anyways.
As I walked away, I took a glance into his mind.
How could I have lost! he thought All my monsters! This guy is amazing, he might even have a chance against the White Raven!
"Who is the White Raven?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Only the best duelist in the history of duel monsters! She's never lost!"
"Then why has she never payed in a tournament?"
"Er, well she kind of only just started playing, and no one from any of the big tournament places has invited her into one, and she sais the little ones are pointless 'cuz she'd just beat them all and she doesnt have a reason to beat them all." he said, dragging out his sentence horribly.
/Why not?/ I asked my Yami
//I supose we might as well, she may have some sort of clue as to the whereabouts of our daughter.///
"Where can we find the White Raven?" I asked the boy, realizing a little late I had used we instead of I.
"She usualy hangs out around the pay-by-play holographic dueling arena three blocks down. If you wanna fight her, you have to pay for it." He didnt seem to notice my mistake, being rather absorbed in proving he knew more about this then I did.
I turned in the direction he pointed, putting the pair of disks in my bag as I walked. "Thank you." I said.
"Whatever" he replied, but mentally added Your welcome. Well, it was a start.
