The inside of the hideout was as Tatsuya had expected it to be. Dark, and dingy with flickering light fixtures and crates placed off to the side of the hallways. All this served to do was make Tatsuya more irritated than he already was. Adjusting the straps of his Duel Disk, Tatsuya made his way down the pathway on the right.

It wasn't like he knew where to start looking. He figured that if someone were to try to hide, they would start where it was the most cluttered. Large sections of piping and some crates were seen lying around on the ground. As he searched, his eyes caught sight of a door that was slightly ajar, almost as if it had been shut in haste.

As he neared the door, he could hear snickering and someone talking to themself.

"I can't believe how easily that worked!" Gordon's voice echoed.

"Those country bumpkins are so clueless it's hilarious. I almost feel sorry for the guy," Gordon laughed.

"I wonder how much he paid for this thing. Either way, Kuroe made a killing. And with my friends taking care of Tatsuya, he'll learn the hard way how—"

"Things are done around here? Yeah...I pretty much figured that out the moment you snuck up on me and swiped my CPU," Tatsuya snapped.

"Whaaaat!? How did you, when did you?"

"Seems like your buddies had a string of bad luck. Team Satisfaction showed up which is why I'm here now," Tatsuya said sharply, stepping forward causing Gordon to back up slightly.

"Errraaagh! Those incompetent numbskulls! Looks like I have to do everything myself," Gordon cursed under his breath before brandishing a Duel Disk. "If you want this back, you'll have to defeat me in a duel!"

Tatsuya smirked at the prospect of a duel. For him, it would be easier just to knock the stuffing out of Gordon and take the CPU back. But where was the fun in that?

"A duel huh? I can agree to that," Tatsuya grinned, tapping the mechanism on his Duel Disk. A violet energy surrounded the device strapped to his arm. The card plate jutted out of the compartment, revealing a black playing field with illuminated monster card zones. The Life Point counter displayed the four-thousand points to signal the start of the duel.

Gordon marveled at the sight of the Duel Disk. He had never seen one like that before. An idea popped into his mind the moment it was displayed.

"How about we up the stakes a little bit? If you win, you get your precious CPU back, but if I win...I get your Duel Disk!" Gordon proposed.

"Really, an ante duel? You guys really have no honor do you? Fine then. But after I'm through with you, don't try to run anywhere...it won't do you much good," Tatsuya said sharply.

"Fine by me!" Gordon cackled.

"Duel!"

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

Arc One - Second Turn - Dark World Wrath

WRGP WC

The Dark Oppressor

Gordon grinned deviously as he activated his duel disk, taking his cards and slamming them into the deck slot before facing Tatsuya and readying his hand.

Gordon - 4000 LP

Tatsuya - 4000 LP

FIRST TURN - GORDON

"Since we're in my abode, I will take the first turn," Gordon grinned, reaching into his deck to draw his first card.

"And I'll start with the magic of Double Summon!" Gordon stated, sliding the spell card into the slot to activate it.

"As you know, it allows me to summon twice in one turn, so I'll be summoning Samurai of the Ice Barrier and Defender of the Ice Barrier!" Gordon bellowed.

A vortex appeared on the field, bringing with it, chilling winds that signaled the coming threats to the battlefield. Surging onto the battlefield were two figures. One was a fox-like creature with icicles jutting out of his tail. The second was a samurai clad in an icy armor, brandishing a sword before him.

Samurai of the Ice Barrier - (Water/Warrior/Effect) - LV 4 (ATK/1800 DEF/1500)

Defender of the Ice Barrier - (Water/Aqua/Tuner) - LV 3 (ATK/200 DEF/1600)

That's a tuner monster, Tatsuya thought, looking at Defender with a frown. He's planning on Synchro Summoning right away. This doesn't bode well...

"I'm sure you've already put two and two together by now. And by that I mean, you're never getting your CPU back!" Gordon cackled, reaching for the extra deck slot to bring out a single card.

"I tune Samurai of the Ice Barrier and Defender of the Ice Barrier! Come on out, Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!"

A deafening roar erupted from the blizzard that suddenly appeared onto the battlefield. In a majestic display, the mighty dragon unfurled his wings and dispersed the harsh blizzard, roaring again in an intimidating manner. The great dragon snarled as he spotted Tatsuya, his prey, ready to rend him in two.

Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier - (Water/Dragon/Synchro/Effect) - LV 7 (ATK/2500 DEF/1700)

"And just like that, your hopes of winning drop even faster from the get go!" Gordon laughed, reaching for his hand once again.

"I'll place one card face down and end my turn. Go ahead, just try and stop my beast!" Gordon sneered.

A soft laugh escaped Tatsuya's lips, causing Gordon to dawn a confused look.

"Hey, what's so funny?" Gordon asked.

"It's nothin' really. Though pulling out the big guns right away is just an easier way to lose," Tatsuya said with a devious smirk.

"Say what!?" Gordon growled.

"My move. Draw!" Tatsuya stated sharply.

SECOND TURN - TATSUYA

Tatsuya drew his first card of the duel and smirked. Hanging onto it, he looked over at Gordon before playing it.

"I activate Dark World Dealings!" Tatsuya declared, sliding the card into the slot to activate the spell.

"With this card, we both draw one card and then discard one card," Tatsuya explained, executing the command of the card while watching Gordon do the same.

Perfect! My Medallion of the Ice Barrier! With this card, I'll add more to my forces! Gordon thought with a sleazy grin.

"I'll discard Kahkki, Guerilla of Dark World to the Graveyard and activate his effect," Tatsuya stated, using the card as a cost for Dark World Dealings.

"It doesn't matter what you do, my dragon will—what...what's happening!?" Gordon shrieked.

Gungnir began to roar in agony as beams of dark energy erupted from inside of it. With a blood curdling roar, the great dragon exploded into millions of pixels right before Gordon's very eyes. Gordon's jaw dropped.

"Wh-what did you do to my dragon!?" Gordon demanded.

"Kahkki's effect allows him to destroy any monster on the field once he's sent to the Graveyard by a card effect. Since I activated Dark World Dealings, well...you can figure out the rest," Tatsuya shrugged.

"You insolent country buffoon! You'll pay for that!" Gordon growled.

"Shut up and let me finish my turn," Tatsuya barked, fixing Gordon with a piercing stare.

Tatsuya reached for his hand and took hold of another card.

"I activate Dark World Lightning! This allows me to destroy one set card on the field at the cost of discarding a card from my hand," Tatsuya proclaimed, discarding one card as the cost for the spell.

A bolt of violet lightning shattered the air as it rocketed down onto the set card in front of Gordon. Bottomless Trap Hole was destroyed on the spot.

"Now that we've got that out of the way," Tatsuya continued, "I summon Brron, Mad King of Dark World, rise up!" Tatsuya declared fiercely.

Dark violet lightning erupted from beneath the arena, and rising up from the vortex that was created was a truly terrifying sight. The mix of exposed skeletal features and flesh and chains was more than enough to make anyone nauseous.

Brron, Mad King of Dark World - (Dark/Fiend/Effect) - LV 4 (ATK/1800 DEF/400)

"I hate to break this to you, but this is where the duel ends," Tatsuya stated.

Gordon snickered and pointed imperiously at Tatsuya's monster.

"I think you've got a few screws loose. That monster doesn't have nearly enough power to take me out this turn. Neither of us have lost any life points you fool!" Gordon cackled.

"We'll see about that after this," Tatsuya smirked. "Brron, attack, with Chain Lightning!" Tatsuya commanded.

The derranged King cackled maniacally before launching his chains towards Gordon. The chains crackled with dark electrical energy as they sailed through the air. The chains made a heavy impact on Gordon, knocking him on his behind.

Gordon - 2200 LP

Tatsuya - 4000 LP

"I'm still standing!" Gordon laughed, straightening up and fixing Tatsuya with a sneer. "So much for finishing me off this turn."

"Who said my attack was done?" Tatsuya grinned, reaching for another card in his hand. "You see, Brron is one of my more interesting monsters. His effect allows me to discard a card from my hand right after I've inflicted battle damage to my opponent. And the card I'm choosing, is Lucent, Netherlord of Dark World," Tatsuya continued, discarding the fiend from his hand.

"So, what good will that do you? It seems like a useless effect to me," Gordon grunted.

"Maybe in any other deck. But in a deck like mine? Well," Tatsuya concluded, gesturing to the vortex that suddenly opened up on the field.

"Wh-what's happening!? What are you doing!?" Gordon panicked, watching as the very monster Tatsuya discarded rose up from the dark vortex.

The muscular fiend roared as he rose up from the depths of the Dark World. Violet lightning flashed around his massive frame, a testament to his power and authority.

Lucent, Netherlord of Dark World - (Dark/Fiend/Effect) - LV 6 (ATK/2400 DEF/0)

Gordon backed up slightly, breaking out in a nervous sweat as he beheld the fiendish creature before him.

"Th-that means nothing. You've already attacked! Therefore I'm safe!" Gordon stated defiantly.

"That's what you think," Tatsuya said flatly. "See, the battle phase hasn't officially ended yet. Since he was summoned by his own effect..."

"You can still attack!?" Gordon exclaimed in horror.

"Hey, you're pretty smart after all. Though it didn't do you much good choosing me as a target for your twisted little game. Maybe next time you'll be smarter about who you steal from. Lucent! End this with Dark Vortex!" Tatsuya commanded.

Lightning erupted around Lucent who extended a clawed hand outwards. The highly concentrated electricity surged through his frame and down his arm, forming an orb of darkness that erupted outward like a spiraling vortex, tearing the battlefield asunder on its way to Gordon.

"Noooooooooo!" Gordon shrieked as he tried to run from the blast.

BOOM! The blast hit with devastating force, sending Gordon skidding along the ground, slamming his back to the wall.

Gordon - 0 LP

Tatsuya - 4000 LP

"I'll be taking that CPU back," Tatsuya stated, reaching down and snatching up the bag that Gordon had stolen from him.

"Y-You scum!" Gordon growled, rising to a stand while Tatsuya walked towards the exit. "You'll regret this!"

"The only thing I'm regretting is looking at your face," Tatsuya fired back, exiting the room and leaving Gordon to his own devices.
