Chapter Five:

Hidden in the Shadows, Knight Baron!

???: 4000

Ra Yellow Student: 200

"No..." whispered the student. "No..."

"Attack." said a figure, dressed up in a suit, a black cape, a laughing mask, and a top hat. He also wore his hair at neck-length.

RYS: 0

"...goodbye." said the masked figure. "Remember Knight Baron..."

The Next Day...

"Yeah, the student was terrified!" said one girl. "Gosh, it's so scary!"

"You said it!" agreed a younger boy. "And the figure called himself..."

"Knight Baron!" said a voice behind Kazuha and Yuki.

The two girls turned to see Aka Murasaki holding a school newspaper.

"Heard of him, girls?" he said, with a grin. "He's the terror of the school! So far he only targets Ra Yellow duelists, though."

"Huh." said Kazuha. She grabbed the newspaper from Aka's hand. "So he's basing himself off of Yusaku Kudo's great creation? How weird..."

"More than that!" said Aka. "There's something absolutely horrible about this whole situation!"

"What is it?!" exclaimed Yuki.

"That girls in the magic club are all swooning over him!"

Kazuha and Yuki fell over with sweatdrops on their faces, while Aka had tears running down his face.

"How...horrible?" said Kazuha.

"So you understand!" said Aka. "Anyways, Knight Baron challenges a new duelist every night, sometimes two! And he's strong! He doesn't do anything to the losers, but he does get stronger with every win..."

Kazuha smiled. "This guy sounds strong! I want to face him!"

Aka shook his head. "It's not that easy. So far, he's only challenged Ra Yellows...although..."

"Although...what?"

"He might challenge me, so I can show off my skills again!" said Aka, making the girls sweatdrop again.

The bell rang, catching the friends' attention.

"Oh, time for class." said Kazuha. "See you later, Aka!"

"See ya, Kazuha, Yuki." said Aka.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Later that night...

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Yuki rubbed her eyes, hearing the beeping of her PDA. Picking it up, she looked at it...opening her eyes wide when she saw it.

"Knight Baron...challenges you!" she read. Getting out of bed, she quickly prepared.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

She had gotten Kazuha, unable to get into Aka's dorm. The two girls went out into the night, and waited.

"Welcome, Yuki Ryuuga!" said a deep, looming voice.

Yuki and Kazuha looked up to see a masked figure jumping down from one of the nearby statues.

"Knight Baron..." said Yuki. "So it's you who wants to duel me..."

"Yes!" said the Baron. He looked at Kazuha. "Ah. Kazuha Ogata. Would you care to duel me after I defeat your friend?"

"Heh." said Kazuha. "Although I think Yuki will win, sure."

"Think what you wish!" said Knight Baron. "But I will crush Yuki Ryuuga in our duel (KBLP: 4000)!"

"Whatever!" said Yuki, copying his activation of the duel disk (YLP: 4000).

"Duel!" they both said.

"I'll go first!" said Yuki. "Fuzzy Wuzzy (1300/700), in attack mode!"

The little stuffed bear appeared, waving at Knight Baron. The latter sweatdropped.

"Next I end my turn!" said Yuki.

Knight Baron drew, and laughed.

"What's that laugh for?" asked Kazuha.

"My victory." said Knight Baron simply. "I now play Dark Hole. Goodbye, Fuzzy Wuzzy.

A vortex appeared and sucked in the bear, making it cry.

"Aw..." said Yuki. "Fuzzy Wuzzy..."

"Now I activate Shot of the Dead, dealing damage to you equal to the amount of attack points of one destroyed monster this turn."

Yuki: 2700

"Next I'll play Graceful Charity, drawing three cards and discarding two. Finally, I'll play Monster Reborn, reviving one of my discarded monsters! Meet Phantom, Knight Baron (2800/2500)!"

A monster identical to Knight Baron appeared, and raised his fist. "Now, my monster...please attack."

The monster grabbed a gun from its pocket and shot at Yuki. The latter raised her arm in defense, although her Life Points still suffered.

Yuki: 0

"Damn..." said Yuki.

"Yuki!" said Kazuha. "You...you tried!"

Yuki, who was now on her knees, looked at Kazuha.

"Kazuha...I lost. Without hurting him at all..."

Kazuha looked at her, and bit her lip. Then she looked at Knight Baron.

Smiling again, she looked at Yuki and said, "Don't worry, Yuki! I'll beat him for you!

"Or my name isn't Kazuha Ogata!"

She activated her duel disk, as did Knight Baron.

"This might be fun..." said Knight Baron.

Kazuha: 4000

Knight Baron: 4000

"Duel!"

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Next Time:

Kazuha VS Knight Baron

Knight Baron beat Yuki in only one turn, but Kazuha is determined to show Yuki that Knight Baron won't continue his winning streak! But who will win? The Obelisk Blue Blackfire Duelist, or Knight Baron? Also, who is Knight Baron?

Author's Note: Alright, so it's been a whole month since my last chapter...Ishi Shihai's story is just more important, okay? (Frowns)

Also, more people are reading it than in this one...

Well, I'm still planning to get a chapter for this story up every now and then. Although I'm still thinking about whether or not to have a Legendary Shadows sequel...

Well, please R&R!
