A large crowd had gathered for this match, though giving the duelists enough space to duel.

After shuffiling his deck, Henry slipped his deck in the slot, the Rare Hunter doing the same.

"The whole point of this tournament for me is to control Ra, so whether I like it or not,

if I draw him, I'll have to play him"thought Henry.

There was much murmur going on from the spectators, neither duelist was well known though

Henry wasn't the odds on faviroute amongst them since he was so much younger.

The DuelDisks were activated, the holoimagers set, the opening hands were drawn.

Both duelists were redy, so the match began.

The Rare Hunter went first.

"No Exodia pieces yet, damn! I can still defend myself though"he thought drawing.

He snickered at the card he drew, making Henry on edge. Takato was invisible among the

crowd so Henry couldn't look to him for support.

"This will help me get what I need"he thought.

"I place a monster in defence mode, and end my turn"

A hologram of the card was seen exactly in the position that it was

placed on the DuelDisk.

Henry drew.

He looked through his hand carefuly before he made a move. He wasn't going to

mess up now.

Takato watched on, more nervous then any of the spectators with him.

"I summon Harpie's Brother in attack mode"

Indeed, the monster was a Brown Harpy, with brown fur and red armor on it's chest.

It's stats were shwon as 1800/600.

"Attack!"

A little furry gremlin like creature was revealed right before it was destroyed. Henry's

monster spread it's wings wide open and the wind from it acted as knies slashing through the monster.

"Thank you. By sending Sangan to the graveyard, I can bring one monster from my deck with an ATK of 1500

or less from my deck to my hand"

"So what?"said Henry.

Exodia's Head was now in the Rare Hunter's hand.It's face was Black, with Golden armor surrounding it.

Of course it only went down to his shoulders.

"Now I'll place a card face down"

As with the defence card, a hologram of the face down card was seen on the field.

Takato was relieved a lot, it seemed Henry had the upper hand. He knew the game from what he

saw of Henry's training with Yami, almost as much as Henry, but not nearly as much as the

Rare Hunter.

"I wish Terriermon were here to cheer me, assuming Ra didn't destroy him first. Oh well, I can make it

through this just like the D Reaper and the Digital world. Of course then the whole gang was together.

That reminds me, after this I should go see Rika and try and get her to trust me again"thought Henry.

"It's my move"said Rare Hunter drawing.

That smile had never leaft his face, which worried Henry greatly. He could not afford

to lose in the very first match, or else he was out.

**********************************************************************************************************

"Where are we going?"asked Rika.

"I figured we might as well have something to eat, where would you like to go?"asked Yami Bakura.

Rika shrugged.

"Dosen't matter to me"said Rika.

Yami Bakura led her to the first fast food place he saw. Using his ring, he made was appeared to be money, but was

little more then particles from the SHadow Realm.

Rika got a Cheeseburger while Yami Bakura simply got fries. He used his shadow money, which fooled

the man at the register easily.

The drinks came free, so they both just had a soda.

"Hey Bakura, if I tell you this, promise not to tell anyone else?"asked Rika.

Yami Bakura sipped his soda before awnsering.

"Of course, what is it?"

"Well, I have this friend named Henry. He has the Winged Dragon of Ra. It's dangerous-

"He has the egyptian God card!"gasped Yami Bakura.

"Yeah, he nearly killed himself trying to use it, he may die if I don't get it away from him"

Yami Bakura held back the snicker. Rika was his ticket to the millenium items. All he needed

to do was have Rika lead him towards Henry.

"What does he look like?"asked Yami Bakura.

"He has Blue hair, about my size and age,has an Orange vest over

Brown pants, that's about all you need to know. So does this mean you'll help me?"asked Rika.

"Why of course"

********************************************************************************************************

Henry wiped the sweat off his forehead, he hadn't felt so tense in awhile.

He told himself to focus, otherwise he had allready lost.

"I play Graceful Charity. I can draw three cards, and discard tow"

He drew three cards from the top of his deck, and discarded two cards at the left

end of his hand.

"Exodia's Left leg, very good"he thought.

The leg was in Golden Armor, with a bracelet around the ankle.

He saw Witch of the Black Forest in his hand, his grin growing. Henry didn't like this at all.

"Now I place With of the Black Forest in defence mode, and end my turn"

The witch had human skin, with long Purple hair and a Purple eye on her forehead.

She wore a long Black robe, and was kneeling, arms covering herself. Her stats were showed

as 1100/1200.

Henry drew.

"Allright, another monster"he thought.

The Winged Dragon of Ra had yet to reach his hand though.

"I play Neo the Magic Swordsman in attack mode"

The monster wore a Green huntsman like uniform with a Red cape, and had short yellow hair,

weilding a very tall sword. His stats were shown as 1700/1000.

"Allright, you're wide open now. Neo , destroy his witch!"

Neo slashed right through the creature as it shattered to digital bits.

"Now I can attack your lifepoints, go Harpie's Brother!"

The Rare Hunter fell backwards, though he swung his arm behind him to keep his spine safe.

His lifepoints dropped down to twenty two hundred , though he wasn't too worried as he stood up.

The grin returned.

"He's still smiling"thought Henry.

"My witch allows me to bring one monster with 1500 defence points or less from my deck to

my hand"

The right leg of Exodia was just like the left one, only the foot was facing the opposite direction.

"My turn"said the Rare Hunter drawing.

Henry was becoming more worried by the second.

"I play Graceful Charity, allowing me to draw three more cards, and I discard two"

"He's waiting for something, but what?"thought Henry.

The Rare Hunter's grin would simply not wipe off.

"I play Swords of Revealing Light, keeping you from attacking for three turns. Then

I play Cannon Soldier in attack mode to end my turn"

Shining White swords surrounded Henry like bars on a cage. The cannon soldier was, as guessed,

a robot, with Purple armor and stats of 1400/1300.

Henry drew, his hand almost trembiling. He simply could not understand why his opponent was so damn

confident.

"I summon Mechanical Chaser in attack mode, and end my turn"

The machine's body was basicly a large round spear with mechanical arms and legs about

as thin as a twig. It's stats were 1850/800.

The Rare Hunter drew.

"Now I summon another Sangan to the field"

It was indeed the same monster.

"Now for my Cannon Soldier's special ability, by sacraficing one monster, I can inflict

fivew hundred points of damage to you"

Sangan vanished, and the cannon soldier fired a shot at Henry, knocking him backwards,

and lowering his lifepoints to Thirty Five Hundred.

"You allright Henry?"asked Takato, however he couldn't be heared over the crowd.

After what Ra put him through, this wasn't such a big deal. He easily stood himself up.

"Now Sangan let's me pick yet another weak card from my deck"

"Of course it won't seem so weak when all the pieces are gathered"thought the Rare Hunter.

Exodia's Right arm was basicly what you would expect it to look like. All he needed

was one more piece.

*********************************************************************************************

Suzy was running for dear life as another spirit chased after her.

"LOPMON! TERRYERMON! HENWY! ANYBODY, HELP!"

The spirit made a dive for her, Suzy leaping off to the side. The spirit dove right through the ground.

Suzy stood there, waiting to see if it would come back. It didn't. She sighed and sat down, cuddiling her knees

close to her.

"Henwy! SOmebody, please help"she thought crying.

***************************************************************************************************

Henry drew, and gasped. The Rare Hunter seemed rather curious why Henry would seem

suprised at a card he drew.

"The Winged Dragon of Ra! Just what I needed, I can win this whole thing right now"thought Henry.

He took a deep breath, hoping he could last out the attack. Takato became nervous as well, he could

tell Henry was about to play Ra.

Well, here it went.

"I sacrafice all three of my monsters to summon this! The Winged Dragon of Ra!"

"THE WHAT!"gasped the Rare Hunter.

All three monsters were engulfed in a large blast as Ra emerged. The light emmiting from it

was great, people were being blown back the power of the card.

"He's the owner of Ra, I can't believe it. No matter, he can't attack"thought the Rare Hunter.

"My Winged Dragon get's the attack and defense points of all the monsters offered to summon it,

making it's power Five Thousand three hundred and fifty. Next I'll use one of it's other special abilities!

It's Invincible Phoinex form!"

"What is that!"gasped Rare Hunter.

"Giving up one thousand lifepoints, Ra will automaticly incinerate every card, even those stronger then it,

so now go! So your Cannon Soldier's gone, and so are your lifepoints"

Everyone else ran for their lives as Ra launched it's attack. The entire city could see it's power, which included Seto Kaiba.

"That little kid has the Winged Dragon of Ra! Incredible, that card, what power"thought Kaiba.

After the attack, Henry fell on his hands and knees to catch his breath. Takato ran to his side immidiately.

"You allright?"asked Takato.

"I, just, feel, so tir-

Henry collapsed then and there, fourtanately Takato caught him. Takato stood up and hauled Henry on his back so

he could get him home. He managed to fight through the crowds of people who seemed ready to tear Henry apart.

He locked the door to his house so no one would break in.

Takato allready knew why. They know Henry has Ra, and that he must've had it during the ransom.

"Oh Henry, what are we going to do now?"

******************************************************************************************************************

Malik laughed when Rashid told him the news, then sipped his drink.

"So a mere child holds the Winged Dragon of Ra? How convienant, it'll be like taking candy

from a baby. What is the boy's name?"

"The boy has been identified as Henry Wong, who was involved in the D Reaper incident about five months ago"

"You heared him my Rare Hunters, ytour new target is Henry wong. Find him, then bring him and his EGyptian God

card to me!"

*************************************************************************************************************

Kaiba slipped his deck in the duel disk.

"Once I find him, I'll crush that kid with Obelisk and take his

Egyptian God card"

***************************************************************************************************************

Yami Bakura and RIka were heading out to find Henry.

"Winning that card will be simple, then Malik will hand me his rod,

and I'll be that much closer to obtaining infinite power!"
