Chapter 8: Corruption in the system
Yukio sat on a bench looking at the few duelists that were left. Of all the people that started this, the number was dwindling fast. He was lost in though. "Who was that man, in the robes. I have no clue who he is but I felt as if he was waiting for me."
Else were in the dome, Seki Mochie was looking for someone in particular. She happened to spot him standing by the hot dog stand talking to some friends. He was short for his age, about 5' 3", Sutan Degujiro had blond hair that sat on top of his head. His slim yet muscular body was shown by the white tank top he was wearing. He had on a pair of tan cargo pants.
"Sutan Degujiro?" Seki asked approaching the boy.
"Yes, and who addresses me?" He replied in a calm manner to the lady.
"Come with me please." Seki motioned with her index finger for him to follow her.
She led him to a dark corner of the dome. There a butler stood with a brief case. She motioned for him to sit down.
"You have been picked next to duel against Ronin Endo." Seki began.
"How do you know?" Sutan leaned forward. "The random drawings for the rounds are private and are classified."
"I am a Mochie, and my dad has...financial power in this town".
"So what. Now I know my opponent." Sutan shrugged and began to stand up but the butler threw the brief case at him knocking him back to his seat. "uh" wind escaped him. The brief case was heavy and took the wind out of him.
"The 'so what' is that I want you to beat him."
"I don't plan to lose." Sutan said looking back up at the girl.
"I want to ensure it." The butler unhooked the latches on the brief case. Inside were neatly tied down stacks of cards. Really rare and expensive cards. "Modify you deck quickly, for now you won't loose." she chuckled coldly as Sutan started shifting through the piles of cards.
A half an hour
had passed since Reku's last duel. Akina had to go off and duel but
she returned shortly after, claiming a win. The crowd of duelist's
was dwindling down to just the best. More now, were the spectators
who came to cheer on the duelists. They were easy to spot cause they
missing a duel disk. The intercom crackled again and everybody looked
up at the speakers.
"Ronin Endo and Sutan Degujiro report to
duel ring A".
The group of friends looked at the water duelist. They followed his lead to the first of all the dueling cages. His opponent stood at the other end with a smile on his face.
"Hhheee..lllll..oooo" Sutan cried from the end of the cage.
"All right, this guy is a smart ass" Both Reku and Ronin had the same thought at the same time.
"Duelists please prepare yourself. As per rules, Sutan gets to go first." The judge pointed to Sutan who nodded with a twisted grin still on his face.

Ronin drew his five cards while Sutan drew six. Another twisted laugh came from Sutan as he place four cards in the magic/trap zone and motioned that his turn had ended.
Ronin drew his card.
"Stop!" Sutan flipped up one of his like he was serious now he had activated Drop Off. Ronin knew what that meant, he sent the card he drew to his graveyard and grimaced at what it was.
"Goodbye Deadalus" He tried not to lose hope because of this."All right so I play one card face down and my Mermaid Knight (1500/700) in attack mode." A mermaid creature with a long green tail fin appeared on Ronin's field. It wielded a sword and a shield. She brushed back her long flowing red hair. "And now I activate Umi." A wave of water started to appear on the field but froze. Ronin looked over at his opponent who had flipped up a trap, Magic drain.
"Either discard another magic card or loose Umi forever." Sutan's sudden seriousness actually scared Ronin more then his madman act. He slid a magic card, which happened to be another Umi into his graveyard. Mermaid Knight gained power from the ocean around her boosting her strength (1700/900).
"Wow, I have never seen that card in Ronin's deck before" Reku gazed through the fence at the Mermaid warrior.
"And since he has Umi on the field, Mermaid Knight can attack twice in the same battle phase." Akina informed the group.
"Mermaid Knight." Ronin pointed to Sutan's empty monster field "Double attack".
"Wrong, activate a trap you should be familiar with. Halo-Bindings's!"
"Halo-bindings!" Ronin felt his heart jump into his through. "How does this guy know about that duel? I didn't see him watching. Not only that, but were did he get that card?"
Mermaid knight was ensnared by the Halo and she fell back to Ronin's field. Then Ronin noticed it. Sutan had said Halo-Bindings's. On Sutan's field sat two face up Halo-bindings cards and Mermaid Knight had two halos on her, binding her down.
"I end my turn." Ronin said, knowing what was coming next. The halo's glowed and a beeping noise indicating a life point drop.

Sutan drew. "With two Halo-bindings You loose full life from Mermaid Knight. Now per the rules let's see what card I dropped off." Ronin was hesitant but reached in his graveyard and produced the Levia-Dragon-Deadalus. "Oooh, I play Monster Reborn on that and that is my turn." A virtual rendering of the Monster Reborn card appeared but it soon after started glowing brightly and took the form of Levia-Dragon-Deadalus (2600/1500)(2800/1700). I roared once at it's old master, showing all of it's razor sharp teeth.
Reku, Akina, and Sachiko stepped back from the cage about five steps. Ronin was now facing down the strongest beast, in his own deck. Not only that but it was powered up by Ronin's own magic card.
"This doesn't look good." Sachiko commented.
"Don't give up." Akina whispered under her breath.
Deadalus roared again. Sutan looked on at his opponent, laughing inside. "Wow, Seki was right. With the rare cards added to my deck, I haven't even lost control of the duel for a second." He then realized he was laughing out loud, laughing at Ronin. Laughing because a perfectly executed plan had come together.
