Episode 3: Noir Cross Part 1: Mare - Flash of Destruction

Leon was closest to the police cars. He swung the door open and entered it. "Where are they!" Leon asked angrily. "They were found two blocks down." The cop answered. "Take me there now! I have score to settle with them! No one vandalizes my old school!" The police cars took off without even noticing Laeon, Kazuma, Izumi, or that strange guy.

"Well that was stupid. They didn't even notice us…" Laeon said laughing. Kazuma laughed along with Laeon. Izumi cried out "Leon! Come back to me safe my love!" And the strange man just stood there looking puzzled as ever.

"Izumi, Leon doesn't like you… I don't even think he knows who you are…" Laeon said to the crying Izumi. Izumi stopped her fake crying and looked at Laeon with an evil face. "So!" she yelled. Kazuma fell to the floor laughing.

Kazuma got a hold of himself. "That sucks though. I wanted to see people get arrested…" Kazuma broke the silence. "Oh well… Leon the big brother saves the day once again, I guess…" Laeon said then sat on the concrete. He then looked at the strange man. He definitely wasn't from here.

"So… what's your name big guy?" Laeon asked the man. The man then muttered something in a strange language. Laeon then got up and backed away slowly from the strange guy. Kazuma shook his head and began to laugh again. "Name is Mareg…" the man answered stuttering. "Well alright! What's up Mareg!" Laeon shook out his hand to give Mareg a hand shake. Of course Mareg had no idea how to react.

"Okay… hello Mareg. I'm Laeon. Understand?" Laeon said slowly. "Nod your head yes," Laeon nodded his head, "shake your head no." Laeon then shook his head. Mareg nodded his head. "Yes I understand…" he stuttered again but he was doing better. "Alright Mareg! Good job!"

"Hey who is that?" Izumi asked pointing at three young women. "I don't know…" Kazuma answered. "Maybe those are the vandals!" Laeon suggested. "If we catch them then we get glory and not Leon!" "Who cares about glory? Lets get them!"

Laeon and Kazuma ran to the trio of women. They then stopped a few yards away. Laeon tapped Kazuma on the shoulder. "Let me do the talking okay?" Laeon asked. Kazuma nodded his head. Laeon walked slowly to the girls.

The first girl had long red hair with violet eyes. Her skin was very tan for this time of year. By her smiling face, it revealed he was an energetic person. She had on a black tank-top, which she must be freezing because it was thirty degrees out, baggy carpenter pants, a jacket strapped around her waist, and heavy brown boots.

The second girl had blonde hair and blue eyes. Her face was delicate and pretty. She was wearing some kind of dress that was classy and sluttish at the same time. She had black high-heels on.

The third and final girl had grey eyes and long blue hair. Her face was almost blank of expression. She had on a red blouse with a long sleeve white shirt underneath, tight navy slacks, and blue and black canvas shoes.

Laeon smiled. "Hello ladies…" Laeon said still looking at the girls in a deeper voice than he had. Kazuma punched Laeon in the arm. "Forget him. We know you messed up that school so confess and go to the police." Kazuma commanded. The three girls laughed.

"You actually think we will just give up with all of this?" the girl with red hair asked pulling out a brown sack. She then opened it. Laeon and Kazuma gazed at the piles of money. The three girls began to laugh again.

"He may think so," Laeon stopped the girl's laughing. ", but I don't. I saw you guys looking at your Duel Monster cards so I have a proposition for you. I will do each of you one after another. If I win, you turn yourselves in no exceptions. If one of you beats me, we take off… or better yet, you can do whatever you want with us. Kill us, take us as your slaves, doesn't matter…"

The three girls looked at each other. "Or we can just call the police right now…" Kazuma added. "There is no need… We accept…" the girl with red hair answered with the vaguest smile. "I like to know the person's name before I duel them… so if you would be so kind…"

All of them smiled. "I'm Flare…" The girl with red hair answered. "She is Mare," she said pointing to the girl with blonde hair, ", and she is Glare…" she finally said pointing to the girl with blue hair.

"Alright… the rhyming thing huh? Who's first?" Laeon asked stabbing his sword duel-disc in the ground and drawing five cards.

"I am and I'm not so easy…" Mare answered pulling out a standard golden duel-disc from the bag of money. She then placed her deck into the compartment and drew five cards.

Laeon's LP: 8000

Mare's LP: 8000

"Very well! Let's duel!" Laeon drew his card showing he was going first. "I play Different Dimension Assailant (1700/1600) in attack mode!"

An armored masked woman with bandages coiled around her body appeared on the field wielding a giant blade. She pointed her blade at Mare signifying that she was ready for to feed her sword blood of a villain.

"Now I play two face-downs and end my turn!" Laeon said. He was proud of his turn.

"Good turn…but it won't be as good as mine!" Mare drew her card smiling. "I play Cyber Dragon (2100/1600) in attack mode!"

A giant snake like robotic dragon appeared on the field glaring at Laeon's assailant thirsty for blood.

"How can you play a level five monster on your first turn? That's against the rules!" Laeon thought, but soon would now he would be mistaken.

"Not with Cyber Dragon. When there are no monsters on my field, and there is at least one monster on your field, Cyber Dragon can be special summoned from my hand." Mare announced. Laeon was shocked to hear it.

'I guess I walked right into that one…' Laeon though. 'I can't make dumb mistakes like that! Our lives maybe at stake over a card game… No more open things like that Laeon! No more!'

"Seeing how that was a special summon, I can normal summon a monster. Now I choose to summon Patroid (1200/1200) in attack mode!"

A cartoony looking police-car appeared on the field sounding its terribly loud siren.

"Now I use Patroid's ability…" Mare laughed. Laeon was some what feudal to her. "I get to look at a face-down card on your field! Now I pick to look at the left one!"

Patroid sounded its alarm one more time making the left face-down on Laeon's field up. It was Magic Cylinder. The card went right back down.

"Now I know what to use this card on!" Mare showed the card to everyone then played it. "Go Mystical Space Typhoon! Now I can destroy a spell pr trap card on the field and I choose the Magic Cylinder I just saw."

A giant spinning tornado formed from behind Mare. The tornado spun around sweeping up the face-down Magic Cylinder, then tossing it to the ground.

"Now I have nothing to worry about! Cyber Dragon, destroy his assailant with Virus Grenades!"

Cyber Dragon looked at the sky. As it did this, the side panels of the dragon opened up and fired hundreds of bombs into the sky. The bombs then rained back down to the ground, most of them headed for D.D. Assailant.

"You may have gotten rid of my Magic Cylinder but you didn't get rid of this!" Laeon said to Mare's surprise. A giant barrier appeared of the assailant protecting the bombs from hitting her.

"How did you do that?" Mare asked. "With my Negate Attack of course. When you attack, it stops the attack and any other attack that turn. So you can forget any of that." Laeon announced laughing.

"Well, I will just demolish you next turn… Your move." Mare ended her turn in disappointment.

"Don't be sad Mare… I still have my turn to make up for your attacks." Laeon seemed to be getting too cocky as usual. Once he hit this position, he would make careless mistakes which he couldn't afford to make.

"Here is a card every duelist should have, Cost Down! Now by discarding a card to the graveyard, I reduce a monster's level in my hand by 2, which is what I'm going to do!"

Laeon discarded the card and two burning swords appeared in front of Laeon. The swords the stabbed remaining card in Laeon's hand.

"Now I tribute my Different Dimension Assailant to summon the legendary Gilford the Lightning (2800/1400)!"

Laeon's warrior was gone in a flash of lightning. From the midst caused by the lightning was the heavily armored Gilford and his crusadic glory wielding his giant flamberge of a sword.

"Prepare! Gilford, ready your attack to Patroid!" Laeon commanded. As he said this, Gilford got into a stance wielding his sword. Gilford let out a loud battle cry and charged for Patroid.

"Gilford, Thunder Stab!" Laeon said as he was now serious and put his cockiness behind him.

Lightning circled Gilford's sword as he stabbed Patroid. Patroid caught fire and exploded after a few seconds.

Mare's LP: 6400

"You think you're so smart?" Mare asked crying over her fallen Patroid. "You will pay! No one kills my monsters!"

"Relax…" Laeon said smiling and shaking his head. "Now I will set a face-down and it… Your move…"

"Prepare to regret!" Mare drew her card laughing sinisterly. Laeon held his ground for what might happen. 'What did she get, Laeon though to himself? ', hopefully nothing strong enough to take down Gilford. He is all I have…'

"I play the powerful magic of Power Bond!" Mare announced laughing in such an evil way. Laeon had heard of Power Bond. It was an extremely rare card nearly no one had. He was in trouble.

"Power Bond works just like a normal Polymerization but, it doubles the fusion monster's attack. So I shall fuse the Cyber Dragon on my field and in my hand to create Cyber Twin Dragon (2800/2100)!"

Another serpent-like Cyber Dragon arose from the field and contracted with the other Cyber Dragon. Lightning surrounded both of them joining them into a giant snake dragon. It was like a typical Cyber Dragon but with two heads. It was bigger than expected since its attack points were double, now being at 5600!

"Yes! My Cyber Twin Dragon's attack is 5600! Now Your Gilford is nothing compared to it!" Mare said smiling.

"Yeah but you forgot one thing, fusion monsters cannot attack the first turn they were summoned. So your dragon won't be hurting me this turn. And since you used Power Bond you are going to lose 2800 from its downfall effect!" Laeon reminded Mare sweeping her smile off of her pretty face.

"You seem to have it all planned, but alas, you have miscalculated!" Mare said smiling again only taunting and further confusing Laeon.

"What are you talking about! You can't attack! I'm so sorry Mare but you have lost it!"

Mare shook her head and began to laugh again. "Would this spell change that?" Mare set a card on her duel-disc and laughed. "It's called Quick-Attack and when I play it, a Fusion monster can attack the first turn it was summoned!"

"I need to see this to believe it!" Laeon yelled still confident and think she was bluffing.

"Very well, Cyber Twin Dragon, attack his Gilford the Lightning with Amplified Thunder Force!"

From one of the dragon's mouth, a giant orb of thunder gathered complete energy. "What!" Laeon yelled putting his arms over his face. The giant two-headed dragon fired the giant orb decimating Gilford to dust. Laeon fell to his back touching the bump on his head he got.

"If you though that was bad, wait until you feel the second attack! You see, Cyber Twin Dragon's special ability is to attack twice! So, give him another Amplified Thunder Force!"

The other head gathered the thunder in its mouth. Laeon got back up not knowing what was going on. He was only to be knocked back to the ground. "Damn…" he whispered twitching. Cyber Dragon then turned back around facing Mare. It then shot another Thunder Force at her knocking her to the ground from Power Bond's down side effect.

Mare's LP: 3800

Mare got right back up and wiped a speck of blood from her lip and saw the mess that was Laeon. Laeon could barely move. "That was so worth it! I told you, that you would regret it!" Mare jumped around cheering. "I end my move! Oh wait, you can't move!"

"Shut the hell up…" Laeon said desperately pulling himself up. "I'm not finished bitch…" He slowly drew his card, his hands trembling with shock. He looked at his card and had a feint smiled. "I play Desire of Chaos…" Laeon set the card down. A giant dark podium and a white alter appeared on opposite sides of Laeon. "This card allows me to destroy 1 dark monster in my deck, and add 1 light monster in my deck to my hand. So I will destroy Dark Blade (1800/1500) and grab a Black Luster Soldier-Envoy (3000/2500) of the Beginning."

"No difference…" Mare said brushing her hair to the side. "Its not like they can help you!" She started to laugh again.

"Think again. Now I have a light monster in my graveyard which is Gilford, and a dark monster which is Dark Blade. So I will remove them from play to summon the Black Luster Soldier I just got from my deck!"

A black orb and a white orb appeared floating around Laeon. They then joined together and shattered creating a large cloud of dark dust. The dust cleared from a swing of a giant sword held by a knight in shining armor. It was Laeon's favorite Black Luster Soldier!

"It's still not good enough to take out my Cyber Twin Dragon!" Mare announced proudly. "He is at 3000 at my beautiful dragon is at 5600! You don't stand a chance!"

"Think again! My Black Luster Soldier has a really awesome ability!" Laeon said trying to stand correctly. "What do you mean?" Mare asked stepping out of her field of confidence. "With the cost of my soldier not attacking this turn, I can remove from play 1 monster on the field. And seeing there is only one other on, start kissing Cyber Twin Dragon good-bye!"

Black Luster Soldier Ran up to Cyber Twin Dragon and stopped a few feet from it. He then stabbed it in the stomach and ran up its chest creating a giant gash where oil and feint lightning bolts spewed out. He then jumped off and cut the remainder of the metal dragon in half.

"No! No! No!" Mare screamed stopping the ground and throwing her cards. "That was one of my best cards! You son of a bi-…" "Am I supposed to regret that too?" Laeon asked. Mare looked back with hatred. "Your move you little baby… oh and if you forgot, you have no cards in your hand so this has to be a good one…"

"You will see!" Mare drew her card and suddenly got excited. "Good card?" Laeon asked smiling. "Oh yeah!" she answered. "Good! Because I play my face-down trap Drop Off! This makes you discard that card you just drew!"

Mare started to shake. "Damn it! I hate you! I swear to god I hate you!" she yelled and screamed. As she did this, Laeon drew his card and laughed. "Hey princess, I love you too, but I have to end this so, I play Monster Reborn."

A cross-like shape appeared in the sky. "Com back Cyber Dragon!" The cross then revealed to be holding the metal serpent dragon. It then disappeared on dropped Cyber Dragon on Laeon's field.

"And if you haven't noticed, you can't take an attack like this because of Power Bond's effect, so prepare, to lose!" Laeon pointed at Mare and smiled. "Cyber Dragon, attack her with Thunder Force!"

Cyber Dragon twisted around and positioned for a complete and utter destruction blast of full force. "No!" Mare screamed as the giant blast knocked her off of her feet. "Now Black Luster Soldier, finish her off with Shining Sword Slash!" The dark soldier dashed up to Mare and repeatedly stabbed and slashed her all over her body making her life points hit 0.

Mare's LP: 0

"Next…" Laeon said touching his wound he got from the Cyber Twin Dragon attack. It was on his arm slightly bleeding. He had bruises all over him but nothing serious. He waited for Glare to stand and shuffle her deck. Her face was blank and pale. She drew her five cards and readied her duel.
