Episode 2: Together They Fall, Divided They Stand
A loud din wrung in the bedroom of Laeon. Once again he was late for school. Still sleeping and school started in ten minutes. Laeon didn't care. He jus wanted to sleep. What is wrong with that? We all sleep in every once in a while right? Not Laeon. Everyday was a sleep-in day for him.
Then a loud crash from the window occurred. Laeon jumped up quickly and saw the rock on the ground surrounded by glass. "Damn it Kazuma…" he whispered then looked out the broken window. He was right; it was Kazuma which would've meant… he was late!
"Oh shit!" Laeon looked at his clock and quickly tried to put his clothes on. Once Laeon seemed to be done, he grabbed hi deck and put it in his binder. He ran down the stair case and ran straight to the kitchen to grab some bacon and a carton of juice.
Once Laeon's episode was done he ran outside. He ran through his gate cussing because he nearly tripped over his unlaced shoes. He reached Kazuma out of breath. "Sorry man that I was late again." Laeon put his hands on his knees and bent over to catch his breath.
"Uh… sorry to say Laeon but there is no school today…" Kazuma announced. Laeon slowly picked his head up slowly revealing an angry grin on his face. "It's the weekend? Damn alarm! I'm going to kill it!"
Laeon walked slowly back to the gate but Kazuma stopped him by grabbing his arm. "No dude I mean there is no school. It's not a weekend."
"Vacation?" Laeon asked as he turned around to see Kazuma shaking his head. "No… someone completely trashed the school. Like all the windows are broken, everything was spray painted." Kazuma just shook his head as he said this. "The camera didn't catch this?" Laeon asked Kazuma. "They spray painted all the cameras is what some kid said."
"Damn… That's messed up." Laeon said smiling. "Then why the hell are you smiling dumb ass. Did you do it!" Kazuma asked quickly. "Hell no man. Remember last time I did something to that school?" Kazuma laughed. "Yeah. You went to jail and they called your dad right?" "Yeah. Dumb ass cops. All I did was stand on the grass." Kazuma laughed harder
"Well if there is no school lets go somewhere and find someone to duel huh?" Laeon asked Kazuma anxiously. "Alright. I got to head to my house to get my stuff and get out of this uniform." Kazuma said still laughing. "Hold up. Let me get my duel-disc and change my clothes really fast…" Laeon insisted. "Alright…"
---
Laeon and Kazuma took off to see if anyone was at the park. No one was there which was strange because someone was always there to duel. They then went to the vacant apartments. Again no one was there. This was starting to get strange. Even though it was a school day someone was always there. "What the hell is going on? People are supposed to be here!" Laeon asked not caring who answered. "Now there is nothing to do!"
"Hey Laeon, doesn't your brother come back from the Continent Championship today?" Kazuma asked Laeon. "Oh yeah! They're probably at the Duel Center!" Laeon answered. "Well then let's go!"
Laeon and Kazuma were on their way to the duelist center until they saw a crowd of people and heard monster sounds. Someone was dueling. The crowd cheered every second shouting "Leon! Leon! Leon!" "Damn I hate my brother!" Laeon shouted over the crowd. "He always has to be in the spotlight.
After minutes of pushing and shoving through the crowd, Laeon and Kazuma finally reached the center of the crowd. Of course there was the very handsome Leon which all the girls were shouting and rooting for. He had long brown hair and yellow eyes. He wore a black trench coat where on the sides it was grey, a black shirt, grey slacks, and black boots with buckles strapped on them. He had his giant black and sharp duel-disc locked onto his left wrist. On his side of the field, there were 2 set cards in the Spell and Trap Zone, and a Silent Magician LV8 (3500/1000) in attack mode. His life points were at 8000.
The other guy didn't seem to have a chance. He was a very tall man, at least 7 feet 400 pounds, he was very dark, he had long white hair that reached his back, he was also very buff. One of his arms was probably as wide as a chair. He had a terrible scar across his left eye that kept it from opening. He had some kind of orange toga on with straw sandals. His duel-disc was a huge glass axe that was stabbed in the ground. The man had three Giant Soldier(s) of Stone (1300/2000) on the field in defense mode. The man's life points were 1500.
"You will pay for terrorizing and destroying that school!" Laeon yelled. "Silent Magician, attack his Giant Soldier with Chaotic Flash!"
The pale cloaked magician jumped in the air and aimed his scepter at the soldier made of rock. A giant energy orb formed at the tip of the scepter and it fired. The giant orb merely touched the soldier and it exploded revealing a giant pile of rubble.
The man didn't even flinch. He just looked at Leon and shook his head slowly. The man drew a card from his deck and sacrificed one of the Giant Soldier of Stone and summoned Granmarg the Rock Monarch (2400/100). The giant bulldozer of a rock giant appeared. Though he was strong he was no match for Leon's Silent Magician.
The man then smiled and revealed a card in his hand Megarock Dragon (?). Leon smiled back. "So Megarock Dragon? Fine choice. He can only be special summoned by removing from play any number of Rock-Type monsters from your graveyard. His attack and defense points then become equal to how many monsters you removed from play times seven-hundred."
"Oh no!" the crowd of people yelled. The man went through his graveyard and removed from play six Rock-type monsters from play. After he did this, the giant behemoth dragon of rock appeared to the field with 4200 attack and defense points, more than enough to crush Silent Magician. The man then switched his remaining Giant Soldier of Stone to attack mode.
First up was Megarock Dragon. The hulking dragon easily stomped Silent Magician causing 700 points of damage to Leon. Next was Granmarg which rolled its way towards Leon running over him causing 2400 points of damage. Finally Giant Soldier of Stone arose and unsheathed one of his swords of rock and slashed at eon causing 1300 points of direct damage.

Strange Man's LP: 1500
The barrage was over and Laeon drew exactly what he needed. "I play Soul Release! This will remove from play five cards in mine, yours, or both of our graveyards. And I pick yours!"
A giant cloud circled the man. It picked up five cards from his graveyard and carried them away.
The cards didn't matter to the man, it was how he used them. "Now I play Re-Fusion! This will bring back the Flame Swordsman (1800/1600) you destroyed earlier by paying 700 life points!"
A spiral of flames formed to make the infamous Flame Swordsman.

"Now I will activate Polymerization to fuse the Flame Swordsman I brought back, and the Dark Magician (2500/2100) in my hand to create Dark Flare Knight (2200/1700)!"
Fire and darkness combined together. They spiraled together making an infinite tower all the way up to the Stratosphere. The spiraling ceased and revealed a dark knight wielding a red sword and shield.
"Now I play Quick Attack, Dark Flare Knight, attack Megarock Dragon with Pyromonicon Seal!"
A giant sphere of black fire formed around Dark Flare Knight then rushing it's way to Megarock Dragon.
Everyone in the crowd was confused. Dark Flare Knight's attack was nowhere near 4200. "Don't worry, all damage caused to me from Dark Flare Knight's attack becomes zero!" The crowd roared and cheered "Leon! Leon! Leon!"
Dark Flare Knight exploded. But through the smoke it revealed a new monster.
"Now when Dark Flare Knight is destroyed, I get to summon Mirage Knight (2800/2000)."
The golden knight appeared wielding his large deadly scythe.
"Now Mirage Knight, attack his Megarock Dragon with Wailing Scythe Slash!"
Again the crowd was confused. 2800 was nowhere near 4200 again. Leon had a plan but no one knew what.
Mirage Knight charged the rock dragon slashing it to pieces.
"When Mirage Knight attacks, he gains attack points equal to the monster he attack which Megarock Dragon had 4200 which boosted my Mirage Knight's attack power to7000! Making your life points hit zero!"

The man picked up his cards and his axe duel-disc. He looked at Leon and looked away. "Know get ready for the cops to come you vandal!" Leon yelled. "In fact I hear the sirens right now!"
"Stop!" Laeon yelled silencing everything. "He is innocent!"
"Laeon?" Leon asked. "What are you doing here?' Leon walked over to Laeon to give him a hug. Laeon pushed him away. "That man is innocent…" Laeon said as he pushed Leon.
"Oh yeah? Where is your proof?" Leon asked shuffling his deck.
"The camera shot three people vandalizing the school not one. And they were all small like woman. This man is much to big to be on of them…" Laeon explained.
"The why was this man found at the school running away?" Leon asked Laeon if he was so smart.
"I don't know that but I know he didn't tag or break any of those windows." Laeon said.
The man sat down and watched Laeon and Leon argue. He tilted his head. He did not speak the language they spoke so it was useless for him to understand.
From around the corner came the squad of cops. About five to seven cars arrived at once driving like they were drunken morons. All the police stormed out at once and ran up to Leon. "Where is he?" one cop said.
Leon pointed to the strange man. "There is your culprit…" Leon stood proud as he said these words.
All of the cops busted out laughing like there was no tomorrow. "What the hell is so damn funny?" Leon asked being more confused than usual.
"He is a foreigner from India. He came to our department looking for some cult group or something like that stole his necklace. Plus he is way to big to be any of the three seven-teen year old girls we are looking for. Of course he is bigger then all of them put together but that's not the point." The cops began to laugh even harder.
Laeon looked at his older brother Leon. "What did I tell you? This time I'm right and you're wrong!"
"Listen little brother, you were right and I respect you for that, but do you think rubbing it in my face is really necessary?" Leon asked as Laeon was dancing like and idiot.
"Uh…" Laeon answered. "Yeah, of course it is necessary!" Laeon laughed in his brother's face and repeated the word "moron" at Leon.
The crowd of people were still there cheering "Boo!" to Laeon and "Leon! Leon! Leon!" to Leon. "The crowd seems to be on your side Leon… but you were wrong and I was right. Ha ha!"
"Boo! You suck!" screamed a girl from the crowd right in Laeon's ear. "That's my damn ear bi-…" Laeon saw the person who yelled in his face and it was Izumi. "Go Leon!" she yelled still in Laeon's face.
"Izumi what the hell is your problem!" Kazuma yelled. "You're on Leon's side?"
"Apparently…" Izumi answered. "Everyone is on Leon's side and he is so cute and adorable!"
"Boo!" the crowd continuously yelled at Laeon and Kazuma. They then began to throw plastic cups, food, and other things at them. Once person threw a shoe at Laeon's head, but right before it hit, the strange man grabbed the shoe in the air and ripped it in half with no effort.
"Leave friends alone!" the ma yelled over the crowd. Everyone was now silent. "I agree." Leon added. "There is no need for that. But if you wish for another duel then I will be glad to conduct one."
"Yeah!" the crowd cheered. They wanted another duel. They cheered and cheered. "Not here," Leon announced ", inside the Duel Center, me against Laeon."
"What! Me? Duel Kazuma!" Laeon yelled.
"Why are you afraid? Come on. It's been a while since we last dueled. So lets go."
Leon led the crowd of people into the giant Duel Center. Once in a vacant arena, Laeon and Leon got ready. Laeon was blue, and Leon was red. Some how it seemed to ironic but they didn't care.
The placed their decks on the platform and drew their cards. Leon would start the duel off for call the coin right.

Leon drew his card and like what he drew. "I play Skilled Dark Magician (1900/1700) in attack mode!"
The black cloaked magician appeared wielding his long scepter.
"Now I set a card face down and call it a turn." Leon announced in a very steady but confident voice.
"If I know you Leon, which I do, then I would know that the card face down is Pitch-Black Power Stone, which you will equip all of the spell counters to Skilled Dark Magician and bring out the original Dark Magician eh?" Laeon revealed Leon's plan. 'Was it that obvious? Or did he just memorize the deck' "Dumb ass I'm talking to you." Laeon interrupted Leon's thinking.
"Exactly Laeon… I flip my Pitch-Black Power Stone."
A giant black stone in the shape of a sphere with a giant red triangle painted on it appeared behind Leon.
"Good for you because I can only move a spell counter on my stone one at a time and during my turn." Leon reminded Laeon.
"I play the spell Warrior's Bane! Now I can select a Warrior in my deck that's level five or below and normal summon it to my field. And I pick Freed the Matchless General (2300/1700)!"
From a giant hole in the ground, the silver armored Freed arose in attack mode. He had long blonde hair and a slight mustache. He clasped his steel sword ready for a quick kill.
"Unfortunately, since I used Warrior's Bane, I skip my battle phase this turn, but I still haven't summoned a monster. So I play Makyura the Destructor (1600/1200) in attack mode!"
The devilish looking warrior materialized in front of Laeon slashing the air with its scissor-like gauntlets.
"Now I play card face down and end my turn." Laeon took a deep breath and was ready for Leon's turn. Leon had a trick. Laeon read it all over his face. But the question was what was it?
"First I will play Swords of Revealing Light! Now your monsters are useless for 3 turns!" Leon opened his turn with one of the best cards in the game. Once Swords of Revealing Light is activated, the opponent can't attack for three turns. And of course, Laeon was the opponent. Now Leon could equip his spell counters to Skilled Dark Magician without a problem.
Giant swords made of lightning rained from the sky and stabbed the ground on Laeon's side of the field blinding Laeon's monsters.
"Now since you activated Warrior's Bane, and I activated Swords of Revealing Light, my Skilled Dark Magician gets two spell counters!"
Two floating orbs of light appeared circling around the mage. This was bad. All Leon had to do was add a spell counter to Skilled Dark Magician using Pitch-Black Power Stone and Dark Magician would appear.
"Now I use the effect of Pitch-Black Power Stone to add another spell counter to my magician." Leon announced. Dark Magician was a powerful monster and with all of Laeon's monsters in attack mode, Laeon's life points weren't safe.
One of the floating orbs that circled the stone went out of orbit and flew towards Skilled Dark Magician. Then, Skilled Dark Magician faded away and created something more deadly. The legendary original Dark Magician!
"Say hi to Dark Magician (2500/2100) Laeon, he hasn't seen you in a while…"
The purpled armored magician levitated in the air waving hi to Laeon with his staff. 'Damn…' Laeon thought. 'He has out one of his best cards. How am I going dodge this one?'
"Sorry Dark Magician," Leon said with dispersion in his voice, "But you won't be staying long for I play Knight's Title!"
A giant shield appeared in front of Dark Magician. The shield was blue and was trimmed with gold on the edges. There were two sword crossing on the shield and the letter "B" above the swords. Dark Magician grabbed the shield then vanished.
"You destroyed your own monster!" Laeon asked with confusion in his voice.
"Yes, to summon something stronger, the Dark Magician Knight (2500/2100)!"
"What is going on!"
The shield appeared again with a blank figure holding it. As each second passed, a spot on the figure would configure. This went on until there was a purple armored knight wielding the shield and a shining sword.
"Now my knight's ability activates, when he is summoned to the field, I get to destroy 1 card on the field and I choose your Freed!" Laeon commanded his new knight.
Dark Magician Knight slashed at the air making a giant wave destroying Freed in one shot.
"Now it's time for my knight's regular attack, destroy his destructor with Dark Magic Slash!"
The glowing sword then turned black. Dark Magician Knight then slashed the air again making a dark wave of magic. The wave cut Makyura in half destroying him quick and painless.

"Now I use my destructors ability! Now since he was destroyed, I can activate traps from my hand, and I pick Dust Tornado to destroy your Swords of Revealing Light!" Laeon reminded Leon. He then played his card.
A giant twister was summoned and swept all of the light swords and spun them around until there was nothing left.
"Very well Laeon, I will set a card and end my turn…" Leon finished his turn and thought of his next plan.
"You're knight won't be here for long!" Laeon announced. No he had a trick to turn this duel around and Laeon can be known as the only person to beat his brother. "I play Monster Reborn to bring back your Dark Magician!"
A giant red cross-like seal appeared in the sky holding Leon's Dark Magician. The cross then disappeared and dropped Dark Magician on Laeon's side of the field.
"Now I use Polymerization to fuse Dark Magician and the Buster Blader in my hand to make, Dark Paladin (2900/2400)!" Laeon played his mesmerizing cards to create an ultimate Spellcaster.
The dark knight and the jaded magician joined together by destiny to create the ultimate warrior in destruction.
"Luck you I cant attack this turn but I can play Big Shield Guardna (100/2600) in defense mode!" Laeon was satisfied with his turn and was ready to take out Leon. "Now I end my turn.
"I play Change of Heart and take over your Dark Paladin!" Leon interrupted Laeon's cocky day dreaming. "Damn…" Laeon whispered.
A ghost-like spirit circled Dark Paladin and possessing him. It was now making the paladin walk to Laeon's side of the field.
"Oh man…" Laeon whispered again. "Don't worry Laeon, I will put him good use by playing attacking your Guardna! Dark Paladin, Celestial Guardian Flash!"
Dark Paladin raised his bladed staff in the air. The blades began to glow; they then flew off and destroyed Big Shield Guardna with ease.
"Now Dark Magician Knight, direct attack with Dark Magic Slash!"
Dark Magician Knight then slashed the air again and created the dark wave and struck Laeon.
"Now I sacrifice Dark Paladin and Dark Magician Knight to special summon Sorcerer of Dark Magic (3200/2800) from my hand to the field!"
The two magicians vanished as a new magician appeared. He looked much like Dark Magician except the following things, his armor was black, his armor had no arm armor, and his hair was blonde. He held his scepter high in the air about to attack.
"Since he was special summoned during my battle phase, he can attack! Now sorcerer, direct attack Laeon with Chaos Magic Attack!"
Sorcerer of Dark Magic gathered energy to the point of his staff which held an orb at the end which the energy was stored. He then jumped in the air and fired his mystical projectile of energy straight at Laeon.
Laeon fell to the floor. That attack was too powerful. One more hit and he was done for…

"Damn it…" Laeon managed to pick himself up and draw his card. "I play Pot of Greed! This card allows me to draw two cards from my deck!"
A giant green pot with a distinct happy face on front of it, spat two cards out at Laeon. Laeon picked up the cards and added the cards to his hand.
"Now I activate Double Spell! Now by discarding a spell in my hand, I can activate your Swords of Revealing Light!"
The giant blinding swords circled Leon's sorcerer, blinding him for three turns.
"That's it for me brother… your move." Laeon was stumbling and losing his balance. The last turn really pushed him to his limits to stay up and keep going.
"I play my own Double Spell. Now I discard a spell from my hand to use your Monster Reborn. And I will use it to bring back Dark Magician."
The jaded magician came back for more as the cross seal summoned him once again.
"My, or shall I say your swords of light are on the field so you can't attack." Laeon reminded Leon.
"Now I play the spell Dark Magic Attack! This card can only be activated if I have a face up Dark Magician on the field, which I do. Now all of your spells and traps are destroyed!"
Dark Magician blasted a giant sphere of magic straight at Laeon vaporizing his spells and traps which meant, swords of light were gone.
"Okay Leon… you won…"
"Not yet because I play Dedication Through Light and Darkness! Now it destroys my Dark Magician and makes him into something even stronger, meet the Dark Magician of Chaos (2800/2600)!"
Dark Magician vanished from the field from the effect of the spell. A new more modern magician appeared, the Dark Magician of Chaos. His black hair was frizzy and it touched his back. He had a slight beard. He had leather on all over with belts over that.
"Now both Sorcerer of Dark Magic and Dark Magician of Chaos, both direct attack with Final Judgment!"
Both spellcasters put their scepters together. Above the two scepters formed a giant sphere of dark energy with red strokes running along the radius. The giant sphere headed straight for Laeon finishing him off.

Laeon was seen unconscious on the floor. He was exhausted from the continuous direct attacks. Leon shook his head and lifted Laeon to his feet. Laeon awoke seeing everyone that he had lost without putting a dent in his brother's life points. "Go ahead and boo, me…" Laeon looked down.
One person began to clap. Laeon looked up; it was Izumi. After Izumi, Kazuma began to clap, followed by Leon, then eventually the entire crowd was on their feet clapping. Laeon smiled.
Suddenly, the police sirens sounded again. "We have found them!" a cop said. Laeon, Leon, Izumi, Kazuma, and the strange man ran outside ready to see what was going outside.
