A/N:Sorry it's been so long since I updated. The first duel is in this chaper. No duh, look at the chapter title. Oh, and for those of you who think Leiko's too cruel, it's part of a plan he's got, which won't be explained until a later chapter. Why am I making you wait? Because I can!

Chapter 2-Leiko's First Duel of the Tournament

A few weeks following the events of chapter one . . .

The tournament had officially begun a few minutes ago, and Leiko sat in the middle of Battle City, looking around for Caradi.

His Duel Disk System was on his arm, with his deck inserted in it. His tray was in front of him, and it still had the Millennium Scales and the laptop on it.

He finally saw Caradi, a young kid of about 12, watching a duel.

Leiko glanced at Caradi's arm, where a Duel Disk System rested.

Leiko wheeled towards Caradi and said, "Hi, there! I'm Leiko! What's your name?"

"Huh?" asked Caradi, turning towards the boy in a wheelchair. "Um, I'm Caradi." He looked at the pure gold scales in front of the wheelchair. "What's that?"

"Oh these?" asked Leiko, glancing at the Millennium Scales. "These scales are a bit of magic, watch!"

Leiko put his deck on one of the Scales' trays. "And it will judge what my rarest card is!"

Caradi watched in amazement as a card left the tiny deck, and moved to the other tray on the Scales. Leiko flipped that card over to reveal his Sanga of the Thunder Card.

"Go ahead, put your deck on there," said Leiko, as he removed his deck.

"Okay," said Caradi. He put his deck on one of the trays, and Monster Reborn moved to the second one.

"Say, Caradi," Leiko said, "we're both duelists in this tournament, what say we have a duel?"

"Alright," said Caradi, taking back his deck.

"There'll be one exception to this duel. Since my deck only has 4 cards, I won't lose automatically when I run out of cards to draw. I'll lose automatically when all my cards are in the graveyard."

"Fine," said Caradi, with a slight smirk on his face. They both activated their Duel Disks.

"DUEL!" they both shouted.

"I'll let you go first," said Leiko.

"Ok," said Caradi, drawing five cards from his deck.

"Let's see, I play Man-Eater Bug in attack mode. I also play the Magic Card, Power Boost Totem! This magic card multiplies my Man-Eater Bug's attack points by however many turns Power Boost Totem is on the field."

"I know what that card does," said Leiko. "I also know that even if the card it's attached to is destroyed, it remains on the field."

"Very well, I end my turn."

"Yes, and now Power Boost Totem has been on the field two turns, Man-Eater Bug's attack points double, up to 900," said Leiko. "It's my move." He drew his entire deck. "Alright, I play one card facedown on the field, and now I summon Saggi the Dark Clown, in attack mode!"

"You should you have put him in defense mode," said Caradi, looking at the evil, purple clown. "Your Saggi only has 600 attack points, but because of my Power Boost Totem, my Man-Eater Bug's attack points are 900, making it more powerful then your Saggi."

"I never said Saggi was going to destroy your Man-Eater Bug," said Leiko. "Activate face-down card! Share the Pain! This card forces us each to sacrifice a monster on our side of the field. So I sacrifice my Saggi, and you must sacrifice your Man-Eater Bug." Two swords appeared, pointing towards either side of the field. With a swish one sword impaled Saggi, while the other impaled Man-Eater Bug. Both monsters were destroyed and sent to the graveyard. "With those two sacrifices, I can now summon my rarest card! Say hello to my ultimate creature, Sanga of the Thunder!"

Caradi looked in horror at Sanga, which had appeared before him, with lightning shooting off of his body. "Sanga!" called Leiko. "Attack Caradi's life points directly!"

Sanga pulled back both of his mighty fists, and slammed them into Caradi, which also electrified him. Caradi went flying backwards, where crashed into the ground a few feet away. "SORRY!" Leiko called. "SANGA DOES THAT TO PEOPLE! CHECK YOUR LIFE POINTS!" Caradi looked at his life points, which dropped from 4000, to 1400.

"I end my turn," said Leiko.

Another attack like that, Caradi thought, as slowly got back on his feet and walked back to the duel, and I'll lose this duel!

"I draw my next card," said Caradi.

Fortunately, he thought, I have a great plan for destroying that Sanga. It'll take a while though, so I'll have to play it safe for a while.

"I play Mammoth Graveyard in defense position, and end my turn," said Caradi.

"Sanga! Destroy his Mammoth Graveyard!" shouted Leiko.

"I play Cyber Commando in defense position, and end my turn."

"Sanga! Destroy his Cyber Commando!"

"I play Kuriboh in defense position, and end my turn."

"Sanga! Destroy his Kuriboh!"

"I play Celtic Guardian in defense position, and end my turn."

"You know," said Leiko. "This is pretty boring. You keep putting your monsters in defense position, and I keep knocking 'em down. Sanga! Destroy his Celtic Guardian!"

"My wall of Kuribohs will protect me!" shouted Caradi.

Of course, thought Leiko. Kuriboh's special effect. If it's sent to the graveyard, it can protect Caradi and his monsters for one full turn. He stood and watched his Sanga obliterate the Kuribohs.

"I play Swordsman of Land Star in defense position, and end my turn. Now I have two defensive monsters on the field!" proclaimed Caradi.

"Yes, but nothing else to protect them," said Leiko. "Sanga! Destroy his Celtic Guardian!"

"Very well," said Caradi. "I'll place one card face down on the field, and end my turn."

Ha, thought Caradi. I just placed my rarest card on the field. I'll use it to bring back Man-Eater Bug on my next turn, and since Power Boost Totem will have been on the field for fifteen turns, Man-Eater Bug's attack strength will be 6750! Enough to destroy Sanga and Leiko's life points in one turn.

"Sanga! Destroy his Swordsman of Land Star!"

"Leiko!" shouted Caradi. "You've fallen into my trap! Activate facedown card, Monster Reborn! I use this to bring back Man-Eater Bug! Because of my Power Boost Totem, my monster's attack points are 6750! Man-Eater Bug, destroy his Sanga of the Thunder, and Leiko's life points!"

Leiko watched the giant insect come closer to his Sanga, and he shouted, "Activate Sanga's special effect!"

Just as Man-Eater Bug pounced Sanga, Sanga grabbed it with his claws and sent lightning coursing through it. Then Sanga of the Thunder punched Man-Eater Bug and it was destroyed.

"What just happened?" asked Caradi.

"Allow me to explain," Leiko began. "Sanga of the Thunder's special effect reduces the attack points of any monster attacking him to zero. So when Sanga retaliated, it destroyed your Man-Eater Bug, along with the rest of your life points."

Caradi looked at his life point count, which had indeed reached zero.

"I lost," said Caradi lamely, as the holograms on the field disappeared. "Well, congratulations, Leiko. According to Battle City rules, I must hand over my rarest card and my locater card. Here." He handed over his locater card and Monster Reborn.

"Thanks, Caradi," said Leiko, as he slipped the locater card into his pocket and added Monster Reborn to his deck. "Don't worry, I'll put both of them to good use."

As Leiko began to make his wheelchair head off, Caradi said, "Hey, Leiko, wait. Take my second rarest card Power Boost Totem as well." Before Leiko could protest, Caradi tossed Power Boost Totem to him, turned and left.

As Leiko made his wheelchair go to a nearby café, he thought to himself, Finally, I have a Monster Reborn! Now I can take on Seto Kaiba, and put my last card, which I've never used before, to good use. There's also a possibility that Power Boost Totem will help me out as well.

A/N: Yeah, this took me forever to write. Btw, 'Power Boost Totem' is not a real card (as far as I know), I just made it up for the sake of fanfiction, ok?
